Islamic Attacks on Nigerian Christians Escalate
[PJMedia] Nigerian Christians are facing one of the most violent mostly peaceful years in two decades of genocide by Islamic jihadis, according to a Christian advocacy group.

Between January and the close of April, International Christian Concern (ICC) says that it had documented "a dramatic rise in attacks against Christian communities in Nigeria." In the span of a little over three months, ICC soberly reported, over 300 Christians were killed. Dozens more were kidnapped while thousands were displaced as Islamic jihadi violence continues to escalate in Nigeria. Unfortunately, Nigerian authorities still largely fail to address the raging violence or help its victims.

Today, on this feast of St. Joseph the Worker, commemorating Jesus’s foster father who had to flee with Mary and Jesus to Egypt to escape a murderous tyrant’s wrath, let us pray for the Christians in Nigeria and other countries who constantly face the bloodthirsty hatred of their own Herods.

The Nigerian states of Plateau, Kaduna, Benue, Ebonyi, and Nasarawa states continue to be the scene of religiously-motivated terrorism, per ICC:

Some of the faculty might know, but they'll likely remain silent -- or they'll blame the Christians for having impure thoughts, such as how to feed their families.

Tlaib would probably deny that any of it had happened.

Aoc would probably ask her staff where Africa is.

The UN and the EU will probably blame Orban and Netanyahu.

In religious institutes all over the middle east, they will probably wonder why any of this would even make the news.

UK: Progressive-backed 18-year-old female Islamist Maheen Kamran elected as a city councilor in Burnley
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
… the far-left and Islamists are working together to destroy Western civilization, here’s your proof.
Jewish News (UK) adds:
A pro-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 a rusty 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 oppression and disproportionate response...
independent candidate who called for segregated areas to end the mixing of Moslem men and women has triumphed in a local election in Burnley, Lancashire.

Maheen Kamran was elected as a councillor for Burnley Central East with 1,357 votes on Thursday taking the seat from Labourn the Burnley Central east seat.

Gavin Theaker representing Reform UK came second with 1,089 votes.

The 18 year-old medical student had previously told Politics Home she was motivated to enter politics by the war in Gaza, where she believes a "genocide" is taking place as a result of Israel’s war on Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
She said she also wants to encourage public spaces to prevent "free mixing" between Moslem men and women.

"There’s a big aspect of free mixing," she said ahead of the election. "Moslem women aren’t really comfortable with being involved with Moslem men. I’m sure we can have segregated areas, segregated gyms, where Moslem women don’t have to sacrifice their health."

Meanwhile Azhar Ali, suspended by Labour for antisemitism last year during the Rochdale byelection, has been elected as an independent candidate as county councillor for the Nelson East ward with 1976 votes.

Lord Hayward, a pollster and respected Tory peer said:""I don’t see Labour being able to resolve this issue with the Moslem community in places where there are large Moslem populations."

Elsewhere in Lancanshire Sohail Asghar was elected for the Greens in the Accrington West and Oswaldtwistle Central seat.

Asghar had previously shared an image of an injured child on social media with the words "Israel equals ISIS".

All 84 seats were up for grabs across Lancashire County Council with elections taking place once every four years.

Ahead of the 2025 election, the Conservatives were in control of the county council, with 48 seats.

Reform UK have won three out of the first four seats called after Thursday’s poll.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Second report of foiled terrorist attack in Dagestan raises doubts among analysts
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The security forces provided little data on the prevented terrorist attacks in Derbent and Khasavyurt to claim that their version is justified. Cases of falsification of criminal cases and the security forces' interest in detection rates cast doubt on their claims, analysts said.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, a terrorist attack against law enforcement officers planned for May 9 was prevented in Dagestan, the FSB reported on May 2. The woman who was preparing it was detained.

Trump administration takes hard line on Haitian violence, labels gangs foreign terrorist organizations
[FoxNews] The Trump administration on Friday officially designated two of Haiti’s most powerful gang networks, Viv Ansanm and Gran Grif, foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) and specially designated global terrorists (SDGTs).

The move is aimed at disrupting the gangs' operations and supporting efforts to restore order in the troubled Caribbean nation.

The announcement was made in a formal statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who declared that "the age of impunity for those supporting violence in Haiti is over."

"These gangs have killed and continue attacking the people of Haiti, Haitian security forces and multinational security support (MSS) mission personnel and are committed to overthrowing the government of Haiti," Rubio said. "Their ultimate goal is creating a gang-controlled state where illicit trafficking and other criminal activities operate freely and terrorize Haitian citizens."

The designations bring serious legal consequences. Individuals or entities that provide material support to Viv Ansanm or Gran Grif could face criminal charges, loss of immigration benefits or removal from the U.S.

Viv Ansanm formed in September 2023 through an alliance between Haiti’s two main gang factions, G-9 and G-Pép. The coalition has carried out coordinated attacks on Haitian infrastructure, including prisons, government buildings and the Port-au-Prince international airport. These attacks were part of a broader campaign that helped force the resignation of former Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry.

Gran Grif operates mainly in the Artibonite region, a vital agricultural area. The State Department said the gang has been responsible for 80% of civilian death reports in that area since 2022. In February 2025, Gran Grif was linked to an attack that killed a Kenyan officer with the MSS mission.

According to NPR reporting from 2024, Viv Ansanm was spearheaded by Jimmy Chérizier, known as Barbecue, a former police officer turned gang leader.

Chérizier helped unify rival gangs under a shared goal of opposing the Haitian government. In an interview with NPR, he defended the gang’s actions and blamed Haiti’s political elite for fostering the lawlessness. Though he acknowledged the violence, he claimed the government had enabled the conditions leading to it.

UN Considers Major Reorganization Due to Funding Problems
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The United Nations (UN) is considering a major reorganization due to funding cuts from the United States, Reuters reports.

According to the agency, a task force created in March at the initiative of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has prepared a document with proposals. Guterres has previously said that the organization should become more cost-effective.

The confidential six-page document is said to propose consolidating dozens of UN agencies into four key departments: peace and security, humanitarian affairs, sustainable development and human rights.

There is also an idea to integrate the World Trade Organization with UN development agencies. One of the sources familiar with the document called it a starting point for further discussions, Reuters clarifies.'

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Leb. Higher Defense Council warns Hamas against acts that harm Lebanon's security
[AnNahar] Lebanese authorities warned Hamas
..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
Friday that it would face the "harshest measures" if it carried out any attacks from Leb
...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 warning by the Higher Defense Council, Lebanon's top military body, came weeks after several Lebanese and Paleostinians were detained on suspicion of firing rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel.

"Hamas and other factions will not be allowed to endanger national stability," the council said. "The safety of Lebanon's territories is above all."

"The harshest measures will be taken to put a complete end to any act that infringes on Lebanon's illusory sovereignty," according to a statement that was read by Brig. Gen. Mohammed al-Mustafa.

Hamas officials did not immediately respond to requests by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named for comment.

Since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023, the Paleostinian murderous Moslem group has carried out several attacks against Israel from Lebanon, where it has an armed presence. Israel has since carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s that killed Hamas officials including one of its top military chiefs, Saleh Arouri, in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Lebanese authorities are seeking to establish their authority throughout the country, mainly in the south near the border with Israel after the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war that ended in late November with the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

Authorities last month detained several people, including a number of Paleostinians, who were allegedly involved in firing rockets toward Israel in two separate attacks in late March that triggered intense Israeli airstrikes on parts of Lebanon. Hezbollah denied at the time that it was behind the firing of rockets.

The council also said legal proceedings would begin early next week against those detained over the rocket fire.

The meeting of the Higher Defense Council was attended by bigwigs including President Joseph Aoun, PM Nawaf Salam, Army chief General Rodolphe Haykal and the heads of security services.

The council's statement quoted Salam as saying that all "illegal weapons" should be handed over to the state.

Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....>
is expected to visit Lebanon later this month.

Despite the ceasefire deal with Israel in November, Israel is continuing with near-daily airstrikes on Lebanon that have left dozens of civilians and Hezbollah members dead.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported that an Israeli drone fired three missiles Friday morning at a gas station in the southern village of Houla, wounding five people. On Thursday, Israel said it killed an official with Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force in a dronezap in south Lebanon.
The Times of Israel adds:
The ceasefire that ended that conflict in November 2024 called on Lebanon to disarm “all armed groups in Lebanon” and dismantle unauthorized military infrastructure.

Mohammad al-Mustafa, secretary-general of the Supreme Defense Council, told reporters on Friday that the body would recommend a series of decisions to Lebanon’s cabinet, including “warning Hamas against using Lebanese territory to carry out any actions that threaten Lebanese national security.”

Hamas has a longstanding presence within Lebanon, including in camps across the country that host hundreds of thousands of long-time Palestinian refugees and their descendants, where Lebanese security forces have long had only limited authority.

Like Hezbollah, Hamas fighters in Lebanon fired rockets across the southern border into Israel in solidarity with Palestinians after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack that sparked the war in Gaza and saw terrorists kill some 1,200 people and kidnap 251.

Israeli airstrikes have killed several Hamas commanders in Lebanon, including the group’s deputy chief in early 2024.

Blast epicenter at Iranian port tied to charity overseen by Khamenei
[AnNahar] The explosion that rocked an Iranian port, killing at least 70 people and injuring more than 1,000 others, had its epicenter at a facility ultimately owned by a charitable foundation overseen by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...>
's office.

That foundation, known as Bonyad Mostazafan, faces American sanctions over it helping the 86-year-old Khamenei "to enrich his office, reward his political allies and persecute the regime's enemies," the U.S. Treasury has said. Its top personnel also have direct ties to Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which oversees Tehran's ballistic missile arsenal and operations abroad targeting the Islamic Theocratic Republic's enemies.

The first person killed was a welder, whose spark ignited powdered fuel residue in the drying room. The second was the wheelchair bound IT guy,

The first explosion cracked a 48 inch gas line running along the valley floor, below the facility. The second large explosion is the escaped gas fueled by the AP oxidizer.

I don't know if the red tint in the cloud is a film colorization effect or the nitrogen as mentioned.
