[ToloNews] Sources said on Sunday that the centers of nine more districts were captured by the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... in the last 24 hours — six districts in Badakhshan, one in Kandahar, one in Paktika ...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... and one in Takhar.

[ToloNews] The Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... increased their pressure on Zherai district in Kandahar after taking control of the strategic district of Panjwai on Saturday, raising concerns in Kandahar city.
Panjwai fell to the Taliban after being under siege for a week. Local officials said that hundreds of families have been displaced due to the conflicts in Zherai and Panjwai districts.
"We have left everything at our homes. We have come here (to the city of Kandahar) with our family members only," said Ghulam Nabi, a resident of Kandahar.
"No one is paying attention to the people--neither the Taliban nor the government. We don’t know who we should take our complaints to," said Ahmad Shah, a resident of Kandahar.
The provincial council of Kandahar said they are concerned about an increase in the Taliban’s influence in the southern province.
The province of Kandahar is the birthplace of the Taliban, who went on to rule Afghanistan with a harsh version of Islamic sharia law until being overthrown by a US-led invasion in 2001.
"Anyone who has been killed or maimed in the festivities is Afghan," said Sayed Jan Khakrizwal, head of the Kandahar provincial council.
The security situation in the city of Qalat, in Zabul, which shares a border with Kandahar, is raising fears among locals; however, security forces said Taliban attacks have been pushed back in the province.
"They attacked some outposts on the outskirts of Qalat city, but they were responded to quickly and 25 of the enemy was killed and 21 more were maimed. The enemy also wanted to conduct a suicide car kaboom on one of our facilities, but it was also thwarted. We assure you that Zabul will not face any problems," said Sayed Baba Mansoori, the commander of the second regiment of 205 Atal Corps.
So far, six districts in Kandahar have fallen to the Taliban. Maroof, Maiwand, Arghistan have fallen in recent days.
Magnetic Mine Blast in Kandahar Governor's Compound Kills 2
[ToloNews] The secretary of Kandahar's governor and a security guard were killed, and another security guard was wounded, in a magnetic IED blast that occurred in a parking area in the governor's compound in Kandahar city on Sunday afternoon, local security sources confirmed.
The blast took place about 2:15 pm local time in Kandahar city as Mansour Ahmad, the secretary of Kandahar's governor, entered the parking area in his vehicle, the sources said.
“Mansour and a security guard were killed in the blast and another security guard was wounded,” said the sources.
However, no group including the Taliban has immediately claimed responsibility for the blast.
The Taliban have captured a key district in their former bastion of Kandahar after fierce night-time fighting with Afghan government forces, officials said Sunday, the latest area to be seized since US troops began their final withdrawal.
The insurgents have pressed on with their campaign to capture territory across Afghanistan's rural areas since early May when the US military began the pullout.
The fall of Panjwai district in the southern province of Kandahar comes just two days after US and NATO forces vacated their main Bagram Air Base near Kabul, from where they led operations for two decades against the Taliban and their Al-Qaeda allies.
Over the years, the Taliban and Afghan forces have regularly clashed in and around Panjwai, with the insurgents aiming to seize it given its proximity to Kandahar city, the provincial capital.
The province of Kandahar is the birthplace of the Taliban, who went on to rule Afghanistan with a harsh version of Islamic sharia law until being overthrown by a US-led invasion in 2001.
Panjwai district governor Hasti Mohammad said Afghan forces and the Taliban clashed during the night, resulting in government forces retreating from the area.
"The Taliban have captured the district police headquarters and governor's office building," he told AFP.
Kandahar provincial council head Sayed Jan Khakriwal confirmed the fall of Panjwai, but accused government forces of "intentionally withdrawing".
Fighting has raged across several provinces of Afghanistan in recent weeks and the Taliban claim to have seized more than 100 out of nearly 400 districts in the country.
Afghan officials dispute the claims but acknowledge that government troops have retreated from some districts. It is difficult to independently verify the situation.

[ColonelCassad] The disastrous finale of the Ethiopian-Tigray war.
A column of more than 7,000 captive soldiers of the Ethiopian army (a total of 7,521 prisoners are declared - count, by local standards, a whole division), which was driven through the streets of the capital Tigray, recently recaptured from the Ethiopians. In the style of driving captured Germans across Moscow in 1944 and captured Ukrainian Nazis in Donetsk in 2014.
The exile was carried out in response to statements by the Ethiopian Prime Minister that he had ordered an indefinite unilateral ceasefire for humanitarian reasons. Demonstrating thousands of prisoners, the NFOT insists that it has won and the central government simply cannot continue the war for military reasons.
Nevertheless, a grouping of the Ethiopian army of up to 30,000 people is now deployed on the border with Tigray, but apparently there is no political will to continue the war. See the link for photos
[LIBYAREVIEW] On Saturday, the Libyan Foreign Minister, Najla al-Mangoush, said that the Ministry, supported by the cabinet, is working to legalize a number of job cadres at the Libyan embassies abroad.
On the official Facebook account of the Hakomitna platform, al-Mangoush pointed out that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of National Unity (GNU), had inherited a legacy of division taking place in Libya between two governments.
Al-Manqoush said that the Government of National Accord (GNA) and the GNU sent their diplomatic representatives abroad. This caused problems in terms of some illegal and improper decisions, in addition to the duplication of work and favoritism for working abroad.
The Minister stressed that the Ministry’s general policy is to legalize the number of embassies and to ensure that the standards are sound for those who represent the country abroad.
Al-Manqoush explained that this work requires a great deal of time.

[LIBYAREVIEW] Satellite photos from Maxar Technologies show the site of the earth-shattering kaboom in the Abu Rashada detention centre in Gharyan. The Libyan government detains migrants colonists in the vicinity of this ammunition depot.
The centre is located 100km Southwest of the capital Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... . The explosion occurred near the cells, where men, women and kiddies are placed by local coastiess. The local coasties is financed by the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... (EU).
Medical sources from the Gharyan hospital told the Italian news outlet, Editoriale Domani, that three people, including two minors, were maimed due to the incident. The United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), fears that there could be hundreds of victims there.
The migrants colonists brought back to Libya had arrived in the centre a few days earlier and were crammed into dilapidated rooms.
About 600 migrants colonists are detained a few steps from the site of the earth-shattering kaboom. Local United Nations officials told Editoriale Domani that an ammunition depot is a few meters from the prison where migrants colonists intercepted in the Mediterranean are brought back to.
"I’m afraid there are dozens of dead. The militia that controls the centre has a weapons depot and its men are involved in fuel trafficking in the desert," said an official from the Libyan Interior Ministry’s Department for Combating Migration (DCIM).

Witnesses told Akhbar Libya 24 News that the militia members opened fire indiscriminately, and then kidnapped a student, AbdelMalik Al-Sayeh.
Notably, armed clashes erupted between Al-Zawiya and Al-Ajaylat militias on June 26th, in the city of Al-Ajaylat, resulting in the death of a high school student.
Last month, armed clashes erupted between Al-Far militia and Shalfouh groups in Al-Ajaylat city, 80km of the capital Tripoli, western Libya. The clash continued for hours and medium and heavy weapons are said to have been used. It was confirmed that at least 7 people were killed.

[AlAhram] Four soldiers were killed when their patrol was ambushed by suspected gunnies in central Mali on Sunday, the army said in a statement
Four soldiers were killed when their patrol was ambushed by suspected gunnies in central Mali on Sunday, the army said in a statement
The region is where Mali is battling Islamist gunnies linked to al Qaeda and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... . No group has grabbed credit for the attack.
The army said in a statement that the patrol was ambushed near the town of Lere on Sunday morning. "The provisional toll is at four soldiers killed," it said.
The attack comes as La Belle France, which has deployed over 5,000 counter-terrorism soldiers in Mali to help combat krazed killers, said on Friday that it has resumed jointed military operations with Mali after they were suspended following a coup.
President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed concern about new threats by the hard boy group the Niger Delta Avengers to bomb critical oil and gas infrastructure in the country.
The group announced that they were planning to sabotage Nigeria's economy by attacking oil installation in the Niger Delta. The group also threatened to attack politicians "collaborating" with the Nigerian government to "undermine" the interests of the region.
Presidential spokesperson Femi Adesina said that the threats were "unnecessary and uncalled for" as President Muhammadu Buhari had since engaged the leadership of the Niger Delta and Ijaw National Congress, on how best to address the demands made by the group.
The Niger Delta Avengers were responsible for most of the attacks on oil and gas facilities in 2016, resulting in the nation losing about half its oil production. The group suspended attacks in 2017 following interventions by regional leaders and pledges by the government to address development challenges facing the area.

George Gascon was rejected in San Francisco, but George Soros funded his move down to Los Angeles to become the DA of Los Angeles.
Gascon barely won over Jackie Lacey the first black DA in LA in 2012.
She was pro law enforcement unlike Gascon.
Gascon only won because of ballot harvesting in high density population centers of LA.
There is a recall effort to recall George Gascon.
If you know anyone who lives in LA County encourage them to go to the recall website to download a petition to gather the required signatures for a recall: Recall George Gascon download recall petition page
Hopefully, we will be able to successfully recall George Gascon as well as Governor Newsom (Recall election date for Newsom is September 14 before the forest fires get worse and electricity blackouts occur and people find out that Newsom has no control over the teachers unions so back to school in September will fail upsetting parents of school aged children).
Hopefully, a successful recall George Gascon will send a clear message to LAPD and council members in charge of Los Angeles City.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is pro police and is standing up to Gascon and Garceti on the police side on issues of law enforcement.

Witnesses reported that skirmishes erupted today evening between the Ottoman Turkish army and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in a mountainous area in Duhok Governorate.
The witnesses told Shafaq News agency that the Ottoman Turkish army used aircraft, while the PKK snuffies used Dushka weapons.
Dushka means darling in Russian, but apparently in this situation that’s the nickname of the DShK heavy machine gun.
The Ottoman Turkish air force bombed the Haruri and Jalki villages, noting that the festivities are still ongoing until the moment, according to witnesses.

[Rudaw] Eight Ottoman Turkish mercenaries were killed and one tank was destroyed in retaliatory operations by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) against Ottoman Turkish forces in Gire Spi (Tel Abyad) between June 21 and July 1, the SDF said on Sunday.
"Within the framework of the legitimate right of defense, our fighters confronted the attacks of the Ottoman Turkish occupation and its mercenaries, and carried out a series of retaliatory operations," the SDF said in a statement. "As a result ... eight mercenaries were killed, two thermal cameras given for surveillance, two trenches were destroyed, and two military vehicles and a tank were destroyed."
According to the statement, the operations were carried out in retaliation against The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... and its mercenaries carrying out a series of attacks on a number of villages in Gire Spi, the M4 road, and Ain Issa town in the same period.
With the support of Syrian proxies, Turkey has conducted three military campaigns in northern Syria in the past several years, and now controls Afrin, areas north of Aleppo, and pockets of territory in the northeast.
Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced in Operation Peace Spring in October 2019, which saw Turkey control a stretch of land from Sari Kani (Ras al-Ain) to Gire Spi.
Russia — the main backer of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Terror of Aleppo ... - has acted as guarantor of the indirect ceasefire between Turkey and the SDF since 2019. The US has also played a similar role. Both forces have conducted joint patrols with Ottoman Turkish forces on the border since the Ottoman Turkish invasion.

[REGNUM] In Syria, unknown persons fired at a US military base. This was announced on July 4 by the Al Arabiya TV channel, citing its sources.
According to the latest data, a total of two rockets were fired at a military facility located in the area of the Al-Omar oil field in the northeastern province of Deir ez-Zor.
So far, nothing is known about the results of the rocket attack.
As reported by IA REGNUM , on June 29, the head of the White House, Joe Biden, said that the United States was ready to repeat airstrikes similar to those that had previously been inflicted on the border region of Iraq and Syria, if necessary.
According to Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
Despite the fact that the United States rejects the fact of the shelling (stating that it was they who destroyed the ISIS explosives near the base and the explosion occurred due to the accidental ignition of a temporary warehouse with explosives),
Syrian, pro-Iranian (they write about 9 missiles fired of which up to base flew 2) Turkish and Kurdish sources confirm the attack (including official SDF sources).
It is reported that there were no casualties as a result of the shelling (SDF claims that 2 unguided rockets flew into the target - most likely either 107mm or 122mm), but some material damage was caused. Just like the last time.
US sez, "What rocket attack? LOL"
[REGNUM] On July 5, Colonel Wayne Marotto , an official representative of the US-led international anti-terrorist coalition, denied information about the missile attack on the American armed forces in Syria on his Twitter.
Colonel Marotto called false information that US forces in Syria were fired upon.
