On 25th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks, Condemnation of Global ‘War on Terror’ That Has Killed Millions

International human rights campaigners, United Nations experts, journalists, and anti-war activists marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US by paying tributes to the thousands of lives lost on that day while condemning what followed: an unparalleled expansion of state surveillance, crackdowns on dissent, arbitrary detention, torture, and catastrophic wars that cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives.

Mourning the lasting impact of “those horrific acts of violence” perpetrated in the US a quarter-century ago, a group of more than 40 UN experts said in a joint statement on Friday that “we equally acknowledge the millions of other victims worldwide of terrorist attacks, excessive counter-terrorism responses, and conflicts in the name of countering terrorism.”

‘We Cannot Keep Peace When There Is No Peace to Keep,’ Secretary-General Says, Calling for Reset of United Nations Peace Operations

But let me be clear: Peacekeeping operations should only be deployed when a peace agreement or at least a robust ceasefire is in place. We cannot keep peace when there is no peace to keep.

Eifrig einreihen: Enteignungsdebatte vor Berlin-Wahl

Manch ein Linker mag sich ja bei den AusfĂ€llen der Linkspartei regelmĂ€ĂŸig an den Kopf fassen. Vertreter anderer Parteien beweisen dann aber doch immer wieder, dass sie zu noch blöderen Aktionen in der Lage sind. So der SPD-Kandidat fĂŒr die Berlin-Wahl, Steffen Krach, der sich mit dem Spruch »Hier können wir enteignen, liebe Linke!« vor dem Russischen Haus ablichten lĂ€sst, um nicht nur seine Einreihung in die ideologische Front gegen Russland, sondern auch in die gegen Vergesellschaftung zur Schau zu stellen.

Israel, Lebanon sign framework peace deal after US-mediated talks

„Today we‘ve taken the first step in what will be a difficult journey, without a doubt, but an important and an essential and a necessary one,“ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said before the agreement was inked.

The officials did not provide details of the framework deal and did not say how its terms would differ from those included in a 16 April ceasefire deal that preceded several rounds of US-brokered Israel-Lebanon talks.

Cuba is facing an economic and social catastrophe, and not entirely because of Donald Trump

Cuba’s current pain may not be enough to topple its Communist government, despite the desires of many Cuban exiles. Nor is the current crisis all Trump’s work. Cuba is a victim of the breakdown of the old international rules-based order.

Trump and Schumer Move Toward Possible Deal to Avert a Shutdown

The Senate would pass those bills before a Friday midnight deadline, and Congress also would consider a short-term extension for homeland security operations, which would prevent an interruption of services by the Transportation Security Agency, Coast Guard and Federal Emergency Management Agency.

That stopgap bill would provide time for talks between lawmakers and the White House to draft a new homeland security spending bill that would include new restrictions that Democrats have demanded on the tactics of immigration enforcement officers and more accountability for those accused of using excessive force.

Trump administration considers new guidelines for immigration officials in Minnesota

The Trump administration circulated a draft memo this week regarding potential new guidelines for federal immigration officers on the ground in Minnesota, including plans to avoid engaging with “agitators” and only targeting immigrants facing criminal charges or convictions, officials familiar with the talks told CNN.

The draft memo comes as the White House and Department of Homeland Security have had multiple behind-the-scenes discussions this week about how to best conduct immigration operations in the state moving forward.

Why Arab rulers remained silent over US seizure of Maduro

(January 8, 2026)

Egypt’s quiet is easy to explain. Cairo receives roughly $1.3bn a year in US military financing. Its hardware, maintenance chain and spare parts depend on American gatekeepers. Public outrage is a cost it cannot afford.

The UAE sits in a different position, but it faces another version of the same risk. It is a financial hub built on access, compliance and credibility. In a world where Washington can turn political conflict into legal exposure, the safest posture is often silence.

Algeria was supposed to be the outlier: despite a diplomatic relationship dating back to its 1795 treaty with George Washington, it has long defined itself through deep ties with Moscow and a fierce anti-imperial vocabulary.

If any Arab state had the ideological space to speak about sovereignty as a principle, it was Algeria. It stayed quiet anyway. That is the lesson: the distance non-aligned regimes claim is thinner than it looks when your trade, energy and finance run through chokepoints Washington can pressure.

Takeaways from Trump and Netanyahu’s meeting in Florida

Trump at the outset of the session told reporters that he planned to speak with Netanyahu about “five major subjects,” later suggesting that they’d come close to settling three of them within the first five minutes of their session.

In addition to Gaza, Trump indicated plans to address issues in the occupied West Bank and potential threats posed by Iran.

But more than an hour later, the two emerged with no new milestones to announce.

Daily Press Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General

Spokesman: We continue to be very much engaged with the relevant parties. I mean, as you recall, the Secretary-General was in Doha not too long ago, had conversations with the Emir and the Prime Minister, Foreign Minister. We know the US Ambassador, Mike Waltz, was in Jerusalem. He met with Ramiz Alakbarov, our Deputy Special Coordinator. Mr. Fletcher has had contacts with the US. So, we continue to be in contact. But, we are not directly involved in the negotiations and discussions on the implementation of phase two.

Question: And in the term of Gaza, a couple of days ago, it’s been reported that IDF [Israel Defense Forces] Chief of the General Staff said that the Yellow Line, the Trump ceasefire plan, the Yellow Line is now the new border of Gaza. It’s actually a large chunk of land outside the Yellow Line.

Spokesman: I mean, first of all, that seems to me to go against the spirit and the letter of the Trump peace plan, and we firmly stand against any change of the borders of Gaza and Israel.

Question: So, when we’re talking about Gaza in this room, it’s the Gaza, the original one, it’s not the one within the Yellow Line?

Spokesman: Definitely. Okay. Alex, I’ll come back for a second round….

WAR ON PALESTINE: Which part of the sentence “UN troops to Gaza” do you not understand?

(April 27, 2025)

– the militias of Hamas, Islamic Jijad and of every other armed group in Gaza lay down their weapons and try to explain why they were inviting the fascist regime of Israel to massacre over 50.000 people in Gaza, thousands in Lebanon, hundreds in the West Bank and scores in Yemen and and and


– UN troops from, let‘s say, Algeria, South Africa, Nicaragua and Vietnam are marching into Gaza, with air defense systems shooting everything off the sky that has no feathers, in- and outgoing


– end of genocidal war, occupation, ethnic cleansing, barbary and suffering in Gaza. And, for that matters, safety for the Israeli population, too. Because one thing has been undeniable proven: if it‘s about protecting them, they cannot rely on the Israeli military, spies and police


– free, fair and safe elections in Gaza. (What do you think: will the Palestinians thank their noble „resistance“ for this nightmare at the ballot box? When they are free to speak their minds and there are armed and friendly UN soldiers standing before the electoral offices?)

– self-governance of Gaza, with – again – UN boots on the ground.

If Arabs want Trump to ditch his Gaza plan, they must make him an offer he can‘t refuse

The upcoming Arab League summit, scheduled to convene in the Egyptian capital Cairo on March 4, represents a moment of truth for Arab governments, individually and collectively.

For 500 days they have stood by, inert, as Israel conducted a genocidal campaign against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip with the unconditional support of Israel’s – and their – patron the United States.

The not entirely unpredictable culmination of this slaughter, and of the comatose Arab response, is that Washington now wants to seal the Palestinians’ fate not in Palestine, but in the Arab world and at Arab expense. It wants to literally export the Palestine question to the Arab world and thereby make it an Arab problem.
