| Some 45,000 Rohingya flee amid allegations of beheading, burning in Myanmar |
| 2024-05-27 |
| [Al Jazeera] Escalating violence in conflict-torn Myanmar’s Rakhine State has forced another 45,000 minority Rohingya to flee, the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... warned, amid allegations of beheadings, killings and burnings of property. Clashes have rocked Rakhine State since the Arakan Army (AA) rebels attacked forces of the ruling military government in November, ending a ceasefire that had largely held since a military coup in 2021. The fighting has caught in the middle the Moslem minority group, long considered outsiders by the majority Buddhist residents, either from the government or the rebel side. The AA says it is fighting for more autonomy for the ethnic Rakhine population in the state, which is also home to an estimated 600,000 members of the persecuted Rohingya Moslem minority, who have chosen to remain in the country. More than a million Rohingya have taken shelter in neighbouring Bangladesh [must be pretty bad] after fleeing Rakhine, including hundreds of thousands in 2017 during an earlier crackdown by the military that is now the subject of a United Nations genocide court case. |

| UK to ban Sunni Islamist Hizb ut-Tahrir for antisemitism, promoting terror |
| 2024-01-17 |
[IsraelTimes] Home Secretary Cleverly notes that group, already banned in other countries, praised and celebrated October 7 Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...attacks Britannia’s interior minister James Cleverly said on Monday he had begun the process of banning the Sunni Islamist political organization Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... , saying it was antisemitic and promoted "terrorism." The group is already banned in Bangladesh, Egypt, Germany, Pakistain, and several Central Asian and Arab countries. "Hizbut Tahrir is an anti-Semitic organization that actively promotes and encourages terrorism, including praising and celebrating the appalling 7 October attacks (on Israel)," Cleverly said, referring to the devastating massacres by Paleostinian terror group Hamas. If a draft order laid before parliament by Cleverly is approved by MPs, the ban will come into force on January 19, making it an offense to support the group punishable by up to 14 years in prison. It can also lead to an asset seizure. "Hizbut Tahrir’s praise of the 7 October attacks and associated incidents, as well as describing Hamas as ’heroes’ on their central website constitutes promoting and encouraging terrorism," a government statement said. "Hizbut Tahrir has a history of praising and celebrating attacks against Israel and attacks against Jews more widely. The UK stands strongly against antisemitism and will not tolerate the promotion of terrorism in any form," it added. Hizbut Tahrir’s long-term goal is to establish a Caliphate ruled under Islamic law. Founded in 1953, it is headquartered in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... and operates in at least 32 countries including the UK, United States, Canada, and Australia, according to the UK’s Home Office. The Islamist group has a few thousand supporters in the West Bank, where the Paleostinian Authority has also sought to clamp down on its activities.

| Left-Wing ‘Dark Money’ Powerhouse Funded Group Linked to Holocaust Museum Protestors | |
| 2024-01-10 | |
 ...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip. Doctors Against Genocide (DAG), an anti-Israel group formed in November, planned to launch the protest at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, on December 28. DAG apparently went so far as to plot to disrupt the facility from the inside. The protest was cancelled after an immense backlash. DAG claims the controversy is due to a "misunderstanding" caused by its own "lack of clarity." It claims they didn’t plan to protest "inside or outside" the museum, but the text of the protest’s announcement leaves no room for a credible denial. It clearly instructs attendees to assemble at the museum and to "please obtain free entry tickets." DOCTORS AGAINST SOME GENOCIDES DAG’s name infers that it actively opposes all forms of genocide. In actuality, the group’s activities have focused almost solely on Israel’s alleged "genocide" in the Gaza Strip. The only deviation is a brief statement on its website against the genocide of Rohingya Moslems in Burma. Tellingly absent is any denunciation of the genocidal actions and intentions of Hamas. The organization has previously organized protests with the anti-Israel groups Jewish Voice for Peace, IfNotNow and Code Pink ... a U.S. anti-war group. The group describes itself as a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities.It was founded in 2002 by Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin and of the other usual antiwar suspects. Its website lists hysterical allegations of US war crimes, and states that thousands of civilians were killed in Fallujah in 2004. Maybe it was millions. Benjamin was a 2000 candidate for the U.S. Senate on the Green Party ticket. She lost... According to its website, DAG is a "program" of a nonprofit 501(c)(3) named Jetpac, which says its purpose is to increase the political influence of the Moslem American community. Because DAG uses Jetpac as a fiscal sponsor, it is impossible for the public to know practically anything about DAG. Under such an arrangement, a registered nonprofit handles the donations of a group that does not have its own entity. Therefore, an unregistered group like DAG avoids the burden of complying with mandatory public disclosures. Donations are sent to Jetpac, and Jetpac decides what to reveal, if anything, about the funding funneled to DAG. JETPAC’S DONORS AND LEADERSHIP Jetpac itself has received funding from left-wing "dark money" powerhouses. It received $10,000 from the Tides Foundation in 2020. Proteus Fund provided $8,000 to Jetpac in 2018 for the purpose of "democracy." reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Community Trust also provided $17,500 in 2018. Another interesting donor to Jetpac is the Barzinji Family Foundation, which gave $5,000 in 2018. It is operated by the family of Jamal Barzinji, one of the most influential Moslem American leaders until his death in 2015. At the time of his death, he was listed as the president of the Barzinji Family Foundation. Barzinji has a long history of holding senior positions in organizations with origins in the Moslem Brüderbund, the Islamist parent organization of Hamas. For example, he was a co-founder and bigwig of the International Institute of Islamic Thought, which had its offices searched by federal law enforcement as part of a counterterrorism investigation in 2002. The sworn affidavit of U.S. Customs Service Special Agent David Kane explicitly named Barzinji as "not only closely affiliated with PIJ [Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... ] . . . but also with Hamas." Jetpac’s founder and chairman, Nadeem Mazen, was elected to the Cambridge City Council in 2013 and 2015, the year he created Jetpac. He opted against running for re-election in 2017, instead deciding to run for a Democratic Party ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, whiteanything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nastyto the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... congressional nomination, characterizing himself as President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... ’s "worst nightmare." While he ran for Congress, he was simultaneously leading Jetpac, which should raise questions about the organization’s compliance with regulations prohibiting nonprofits from acting on behalf of political candidates. Jetpac’s website states that it was formed by Mazen’s campaign staff, boasting that they increased the number of Moslem voters by 300 percent. Left-wing funders like the Tides Foundation will be enticed by the potential political dividends of Jetpac’s proclaimed ability to increase Moslem turnout, but it comes with a price. By acting as DAG’s fiscal sponsor, Jetpac helps alienate voters (especially Jewish voters) who don’t look fondly upon disrupting the Holocaust Museum for the purpose of appropriating the institution’s message for an anti-Israel cause.

| Bangladesh’s one-sided election leaves some voters asking, ‘What’s the point?’ |
| 2024-01-07 |
| [BenarNews] Bangladesh goes to the polls next week with Prime Minister ...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums... and her ruling Awami League all but assured victory, and with the opposition boycotting an election that analysts say is likely to cement autocratic rule. Voters in the South Asian nation of 166 million will have little choice but to elect 76-year-old Hasina for a fourth consecutive term on Jan. 7. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party, along with several smaller parties, has refused to participate after Hasina rejected calls to step aside for a neutral caretaker government to oversee the polls. Without the BNP’s involvement, government critics and independent observers say the vote is shaping up as a one-sided exercise, in a nation with a long record of dubious elections. "Ultimately, these elections will enable Sheikh Hasina to have absolute power," Prof. Nazmul Ahsan Kalimullah, a political analyst and chief of the election monitoring body Janipop, told BenarNews. "The democratic checks-and-balances and the principle of separation of power will collapse." Since 2009, Hasina has presided over one of the region’s best-performing economies, largely on the back of the country’s booming textile and garment industry, which employs more than a million women in the workforce. But she has steadily clamped down on opposition parties and civil society while consolidating control over state apparatuses — from law enforcement and the judiciary to the Election Commission, according to analysts and activists. Local and international advocacy groups, including Human Rights Watch, have documented in detail alleged abuses by Bangladesh authorities, including mass arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearance, torture, extrajudicial killings, and widespread repression. Tens of thousands of opposition leaders and activists — including its secretary general and other top leaders — have reportedly been arrested since Oct. 28 alone, when the BNP staged the last in a series of mass rallies demanding a caretaker government be put in place. Ten people died in political violence that weekend, and another 21 have died since — mostly opposition members — amid a series of transportation blockades, vehicle arsons and street festivities, according to media reports. Six of the dear departed died in police custody and jails. Members of the opposition party are facing up to four million criminal charges, according to the BNP’s estimates, with some regarded as "ghost cases," which are planted against individuals presumed dead, incarcerated, or in exile. On Thursday, a Dhaka court gave prison terms to eight BNP leaders — including two former cabinet ministers — for participating in a rally vandalizing vehicles about 10 years ago, officials and lawyers said. Authorities have resorted to arresting family members of opposition activists as well. ’ONE-PARTY SYSTEM’ The arrests and deadly protest violence have raised tensions ahead of the vote, which will be the 12th since Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistain in 1971. Out of the 11 previous general elections, only four were considered to be relatively free and fair, because they were held under non-partisan caretaker administrations — a system that the Awami League government removed in 2011. The BNP and its allies boycotted the 2014 election over concerns about its fairness. And in 2018, despite the BNP’s participation, the ruling party secured more than 95% of the parliamentary seats, although amid widespread claims of fraud. In recent months, the United States and other Western countries have ramped up calls to demand that free and fair elections be held in Bangladesh. Washington in May said it would deny visas to Bangladeshis whom it suspects of trying to undermine democratic elections. Despite the pressure, few observers expect the vote to be competitive. "The consequence is that we are going to see a one-party political system," said Prof. Nizam Uddin Ahmed, a political analyst and writer of several books on Bangladesh politics. Wary of international scrutiny, the Awami League has greenlighted the use of "dummy candidates" during the election, which refer to members of the ruling party that are registered to run as "independents." The government has also cajoled new, smaller parties into participating, amid concerns about possible low turnout. Still, the government-aligned Jatiya Party ...aka Jatiya Front; a political party established by Bangladictator Lieutenant General Hussain Muhammad Ershad in 1986 to lend a veneer of respectability to his rule. Since nobody was amused he was forced to resign by popular demand in 1990. The party remains in existence with about a dozen seats in Bangla's parliament... , the largest opposition camp in Parliament, is not expected to secure more than a dozen of the 300 parliamentary seats up for grabs, Kalimullah said. "We have a Westminster form of governance in place. But the next Parliament will be composed of MPs elected in the style of the Chinese Communist Party, which allows the party members to contest among its members," he said. |

| Myanmar Getting Spicier - Sideshow Lost in the Shadows of Ongoing Events | |

An entire Myanmar army battalion based near the Chinese border surrendered to an alliance of ethnic armed groups that launched a surprise offensive last month against the military, a spokesperson for one of the armed groups said Wednesday. The surrender of 261 people — 127 soldiers and 134 of their family members — from the infantry battalion in northeastern Shan state appears to be the biggest by regular army forces since widespread armed conflict in Myanmar broke out in 2021 after the military seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February that year. The alliance expects to soon capture Laukkaing, the area’s major city, the spokesperson said. | |

| Fears mount over NGOs gathering biometric data |
| 2023-09-28 |
| [Geographical] A reliance on biometric data in the humanitarian sector is on the rise, despite growing evidence of the risks Always a comforting thought.... In 2021, as US troops withdrew from Afghanistan – the culmination of two decades of war – they left behind a vast collection of sensitive data that swiftly made its way into the hands of the Taliban. According to the NGO Human Rights Watch, this included biometric data such as iris scans and fingerprints, as well as photographs, addresses and names of relatives, possibly endangering thousands of Afghans around the country. ‘Some of these people would have assisted or worked at US embassies and were likely made promises of resettlement opportunities in the USA,’ says Quito Tsui, one of the authors of a new report on the problem. The practice of collecting biometric data from vulnerable individuals isn’t unique to Afghanistan. The report, written by Tsui and her colleagues at the Engine Room, a non-profit organisation with expertise in technology and data, details several high-profile incidents of the growing use – and risks – of biometrics in the humanitarian sector. According to the UN, an estimated 360 million people worldwide are currently in need of humanitarian assistance, an increase of 30 per cent since the start of 2022. Humanitarian organisations are finding it increasingly challenging to meet those needs, and biometrics were first adopted during the early 2000s as a way of facilitating aid registration and distribution (many people in need of aid don’t possess identification documents such as a passport). Since then, the use of digital biometric systems to collect data such as iris, hand or fingerprint scans has become normalised and a central part of humanitarian work. Some organisations have also been encouraged by donors that request detailed reports on how their money has been spent. By the end of 2020, almost 63.8 million biometric profiles were registered with the World Food Programme’s SCOPE database. However, Tsui explains that while aid organisations cite the numerous benefits of using biometric data systems – such as increased efficiency and fraud control – there’s little in the way of evidence or research to actually support these claims. Most importantly, says Tsui, many organisations have failed to review their use of biometric data in light of the increased evidence of harm it can cause. The main issues raised by the new report include function creep, data security and the misuse of data. ‘In most situations, the risks that individuals who depend upon humanitarian aid face when their data is collected are the same risks that you or I might face,’ says Tsui. ‘The key difference is that these risks are much more likely to occur.’ In 2018, Open Democracy reported that Rohingya refugees at a camp in Bangladesh protested against the issue of smart ID cards after the Bangladeshi government shared biometric data with the Myanmar junta, which has persecuted the Rohingya people. Tsui says that of all the issues associated with biometric data collection, lack of consent is particularly tricky. ‘People fleeing harm often arrive in huge groups, in a rush, maybe even in the middle of the night,’ she says. ‘That’s not an environment that’s conducive to informed consent.’ More often than not, the reality is that individuals seeking aid are in no position to refuse. ‘When we’ve asked aid organisations about what happens if people do say no, they’ve been evasive,’ says Tsui. ‘In reality, there often is no alternative in place.’ It may seem as if it’s too late to turn back from the reliance on biometrics, but Belkis Wille, associate director with the Crisis and Conflict division at Human Rights Watch, says that the humanitarian response to the war in Ukraine suggests otherwise. Many Ukrainians and the smaller, local humanitarian groups supporting them didn’t want to share their biometric data with international agencies and, as a result, those agencies dropped the requirement. ‘Ukraine has certainly made the argument in favour of biometric data collection harder to justify,’ agrees Tsui. |

| Indonesia’s Aceh bans unrelated men and women from being together in public |
| 2023-08-12 |
| [BenarNews] Indonesia’s religiously conservative Aceh region has forbidden men and women not related or married to one another from being together in public places or vehicles, by issuing new tightened rules for keeping the opposite sexes apart. The new regulations, which were made public this week, are intended to reduce sinful behavior, says the government of Aceh, the only Indonesian province that practices Sharia, or Islamic law. But critics say they are a smokescreen to distract from rampant government corruption. "Men and women who are not married or related cannot sit together in public places, secluded places or in vehicles," one of the points in the official notice said. But if she's your sister or cousin, you can bang her in public? Concurrently, the province’s main form of entertainment, its 24-hour coffee shops, have been ordered to limit their hours of operation, and shut at midnight. And to ensure the new provincial rules are more convenient to follow, the mayor of the Acehnese capital Banda Aceh said he had forbidden women altogether from public areas beyond 11 p.m. The new rules were issued to strengthen sharia law and as an effort to reduce immorality, Aceh government front man Muhammad MTA said on Friday. They are also intended "to mold a generation of people who faithfully comply with Islamic values in their daily lives," he said. The Aceh government’s notice does not specify whether authorities would punish anyone who violates the rules, although under the province’s Sharia, caning is the punishment for alcohol consumption, gambling, adultery, and dress-code violations. In Banda Aceh, Mayor Amiruddin, who goes by one name, said he would deploy the Sharia Police — known as the Wilayatul Hisbah — to ensure compliance with the new rules. He didn’t say what, if any, punishment would be imposed for violations. He merely spoke about taking measures "to reduce the space for violations of Islamic law," such as forbidding women from lingering in public spaces after 11 p.m. Aceh, at the northwestern end of Sumatra island, gained special autonomy in 2005 after a peace agreement ended the war with GAM, a separatist group. In 2002, Indonesia, the world’s most populous Moslem-majority country, allowed Aceh to use Sharia as its legal code when it granted the province limited autonomy to pacify the clamor for independence. ’ISLAMIC LAW AS A SHIELD’ A women’s rights activist, Syarifah Rahmatillah, said the new rules would end up being discriminatory towards women. "Again, women become victims of government policies. There is no acceptable reason and we do not agree with this policy that harms women," she said. Small business owners of coffee houses are also up in arms, calling the new restrictions extremely worrisome. Al Agusna, who owns the Sagoe coffee shop in Banda Aceh, said the reason for the restriction on operating hours was unacceptable. Neither he nor the government notice specified the reason, but some locals who spoke on the condition of anonymity for security reasons said the authorities believed that some coffee shops were venues for prostitution deals. "Our coffee shop has been open 24 hours for a long time and so far, there has been no Sharia violation as it is located in the city center and an open area," he told BenarNews. Samsul Rizal, manager at Banda Aceh’s renowned Rex culinary center, a top tourist destination in Peunayong, said many street food vendors relied on being open until 2 a.m. for their living. "This could harm the business owners and affect their income. We are really worried that many traders will be in debt as a result of this restriction," Samsul told BenarNews. Aceh has received nearly 96 trillion rupiah (U.S. $6.2 billion) in special autonomy funds from the central government between 2008 and 2022. Yet, it is the poorest province in Sumatra, with nearly 15% of its population living in poverty as of September 2022. |
