[LibyaReview] Libya was hosting more than 936,000 migrants and refugees as of February 2026, with over half living in the western region and Sudanese nationals forming the largest community, according to international migration data.
A report by the Mixed Migration Centre, which is part of the Danish Refugee Council, said Libya remained the main departure point for migrants and asylum seekers attempting to reach Italy and Europe through the Central Mediterranean route, despite a significant fall in the number of departures.
Data from the International Organization for Migration showed that Libya hosted 936,134 migrants and refugees in February 2026, an increase of 9% compared with the same period in 2025. The total remained relatively stable compared with December 2025.
Around 53% of migrants and refugees were living in western Libya, while 36% were based in the east and 11% in the south.
Sudanese nationals represented approximately 36% of the migrant population, making them the largest foreign community in Libya. Nigeriens accounted for 20%, Egyptians for 19%, Chadians for 9% and Nigerians for 4%

[JEUNEAFRIQUE] On Saturday, July 25, the head of the Nigerien junta spoke about a possible reopening of the common border between Niger and Benin, which has been closed for almost three years.
Before any decision is made to reopen the border between Niger and Benin, there are "wounds" that must first be "healed," declared the head of the Nigerien junta, Abdourahamane Tiani, this Saturday, July 25. Since the military regime came to power in Niamey in July 2023, the border has remained closed; Niger accuses its Beninese neighbor of seeking to destabilize it with the support of France.
But the visit of Benin's new president, Romuald Wadagni, to Niger in early June marked a thaw in the very tense relations between the two countries, which have been grappling with recurring jihadist violence from groups linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Romuald Wadagni's visit also suggested a possible reopening of their border in the near future.

Prior to this needed war.
The common price of 87 octane, down here in GA. was around $2.95 a gallon, and now is floating around $3.95+ a gallon.
That $1+/- more a gallon, works out to about another $24+ a week deduction out of our fixed or net-income pockets a week.
* The War has been going on 108 days (15.4 weeks) now.
* $24+ x 15 = $360.00 + is what the war has cost just our family so far.
* Now think $360 x's the 100M USA daily use vehicles. That is how much less is being spent in greater USA economy, for other common family items and purchases due to Gas price increases.
ADD TO THAT

[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly informed his cabinet ministers that the US wants Israel to withdraw troops from locations in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza, and told them that he will not agree to this demand, according to Channel 13.
Citing unnamed security sources familiar with the matter, Channel 13 reports that Washington is keen to see IDF troops making a “series of withdrawals” on the three fronts, but does not specify whether these would be partial or full withdrawals.
It says that Netanyahu informed ministers that he “intends to stand on my own two feet and resist.”
“I will tell them no,” he reportedly told his ministers.
Israel Times senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur openly admits to being on the left, and considers Bibi and all those who work with him to be profoundly corrupt. Nonetheless, he is convinced that there is no peace possible with the Arabs of the West Bank and Gaza, Hezbollah, or Iran, and no choice but to continue until they are utterly defeated. The alternative, should Israel stop, or accept a two state or one state solution, is 10/7 endlessly. And the seven million Jews of Israel, as he says, have no place to go, as they learnt while locked up in the concentration camps-turned-DP camps in post-Nazi Europe and the Farhud and other expulsions in the Middle East and beyond, like those who had to be smuggled out of Pakistan.
[IsraelTimes] The Israeli security cabinet has voted to approve the limited entry of the International Stabilization Force under the Board of Peace-led plan for Gaza, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir voted against the proposal, while Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar voted in favor, the official says, without elaborating on the exact proposal or whether there was any timeline for deploying the fledgling force.
ISF troops would first deploy along the borders of a pilot humanitarian zone in Gaza being planned by the Board of Peace.
Shortly before the vote took place, the Israeli official and a Board of Peace official told The Times of Israel that the cabinet would vote on measures aimed at advancing elements of the humanitarian pilot project proposed by the US-backed Board of Peace.
The Board of Peace has been promoting the plan for several months. It envisions the establishment of a pilot humanitarian zone in the Rafah area of southern Gaza, from which Israeli troops would withdraw and be replaced by personnel from a not-yet-deployed International Stabilization Force. The arrangement would allow an initial group of vetted Gazans to relocate from Hamas-controlled territory. Hamas has so far refused to disarm as envisioned under US President Donald Trump’s 20-point framework for Gaza, and the Board has been struggling to get Israeli approval on certain key components of the plan.
Last week, Nickolay Mladenov, Board of Peace High Representative for Gaza, and Aryeh Lightstone, special advisor to the Board, met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to brief him on plans for the pilot project, and received a “positive” response from the premier, the Board official says.
Much of what was expected to be discussed in today’s cabinet meeting surrounded proposals outlined in a private letter Lightstone sent to the Israeli government last month, the Board official said, confirming an earlier Kan news report on the letter. According to the report, the letter called for relaxation of certain restrictions on “dual-use” humanitarian aid items entering Gaza as well as the signing of agreements that would allow troops from ISF contributing countries to enter Gaza, and approval of measures related to the vetting and entry of a Palestinian police force to be deployed under the Trump plan.
While Arab diplomats and Israeli officials have told The Times of Israel that moving forward with the humanitarian zone has been difficult with Israeli elections approaching — as Netanyahu’s coalition remains wary of reconstruction beginning while Hamas remains armed in half the Strip — the Board official said Israel has been broadly cooperative, but admitted that even with cabinet approval of certain measures, meaningful progress on the pilot zone will be further down the line.
“These pieces are all moving forward. It just takes a little time,” the official said, saying the Board understands “the reality” of Israeli elections, but that nonetheless “we’re seeing that things can move forward, at least from an approvals process or from a cooperation process, even if implementation doesn’t happen 24 hours later.”

[REGNUM] Recently, supporters of Israeli "settlement expansion" organized a "march of dissent" towards the border with the Gaza Strip.
Officially, the protest was billed as historic and intended to remind the Israeli government of its previous foreign policy "mistakes." However, in reality, it became a backdrop for legitimizing a new course toward the Palestinians, one that doesn't quite fit within the framework of the US "peace plan" for Gaza.
RETURN TO THE HEARTHS
This is not the first time that the "March on Gaza" has been held in Israel. Its organizers (the Nahala settlement movement) are thus subtly reminding the authorities of a major geopolitical miscalculation.
In August 2005, the Israeli government accepted the Barack Obama administration's plan to normalize coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Eh? Barack Obama was elected in 2008, sworn into office in January 2009.
In accordance with Washington's plan, Israel significantly reduced its presence in the Gaza Strip.
I thought it was Ariel Sharon’s bright idea, and then he had a massive stroke, so never knew he needed to fix the conceptual error.
Approximately 8,500 residents were evacuated from 21 Jewish settlements previously established in the "gray lands." Several of the largest "settlement outposts" were reduced to clay and remain abandoned to this day.
Dissatisfied with the decision, settlers organized memorial processions to the "places of former glory" almost every year, but until recently they resembled more of a get-together for a few hundred people.
The current rally, held under the slogan "Returning Home After 21 Years," was the largest in history. According to organizers, about ten thousand people joined the march, although barely half reached the symbolic border (Zikim Beach in the Southern District).
How many were taking a break from the weekly leftwing, anti-Bibi protests?
The tone of the march has also changed. While settlement activity in the "gray lands" was previously presented as an "expansion of Israeli living space" that should be pursued with consideration for the interests of local elites, it is now positioned as a "proportionate price" for the damage Palestinian factions have inflicted on the Jewish state in recent years.
The choice of the final rally point is also no coincidence: in 2023, Zikim Beach became the scene of the first clashes between Israelis and the Hamas vanguard. According to Israeli estimates, approximately 40 people, mostly tourists, were killed in the clashes. Supporters of the Nahala movement are convinced that the military settlements dismantled in 2005 could well have served as a "primary shield," depriving the advancing Palestinians of a tactical advantage.
Among those “marching to Gaza,” groups of ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) people were also noticed, who in normal times do not get along well with the radical settlers and do not share their methods of struggle.
Nevertheless, they were pleased with such a large platform for expressing opinions, whose every step was followed by all the Israeli media. Ultra-Orthodox delegates walked the entire route side by side with settlers, chanting their own slogans addressed to the government. Among them was a call to "definitely abandon" the idea of conscripting Haredim into the army, hinting at their willingness to cede this sacred duty to volunteer settlers.
True, on the final stretch of the route, several Haredim did not deny themselves the pleasure of climbing the army border fence to demonstratively shake their fists in the direction of the Gaza Strip.
HIDDEN CONSENT
Although the march was positioned as a public event, it was joined by stars of Israeli politics.
In particular, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich were spotted in the front rows. Both government officials advocate for the complete takeover of the Gaza Strip and its integration into the Jewish state, and therefore used the march as a mobilization event, demonstrating to potential voters the seriousness of their political program.
High-ranking members of the ruling Likud party also joined the march. Nik Barat, Minister of Economy and Industry, was spotted among the demonstrators. Defense Minister Israel Katz, accompanied by several Knesset members from allied factions, was nearby.
In total, according to Israeli media estimates, eight ministers joined the "march on Gaza," representing a third of the ruling cabinet. Including the MPs who joined them, the total number of ruling wing representatives reached approximately thirty.
Interestingly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu never joined the march. However, various "insiders" had previously reported that the prime minister would address the crowd at one of the checkpoints along the route and thank them for their civic commitment.
Perhaps, given the presence of party heavyweights like Barat and Katz among the demonstrators, Netanyahu's appearance was considered excessive.
WILL THERE BE CONSTRUCTION?
The march became the backdrop for more serious decisions. The Israeli government, apparently, intends to strengthen its presence in the Gaza Strip, relying precisely on the "angry patriots" among the settlers.
Defense Minister Katz said his department had "preliminarily approved" plans to build three special settlements ("Nahal") in the northern part of the exclave and was now "awaiting the prime minister's decision."
Such a move, according to the military, would ensure Israel's permanent presence in the Palestinian exclave without the need to maintain an additional military contingent there.
Moreover, Nahal settlers are well-trained in the use of weapons and, if necessary, would not mind engaging in combat with locals to defend the boundaries of new settlements. And, if necessary, to expand them, ensuring Israel's continued creeping expansion in the northern Gaza Strip.
Although the defense minister didn't go into much detail, he was clearly referring to the settlements of Elei Sinai, Dugit, and Nisanit, abandoned by the Israelis in 2005. Their restoration would allow for the seizure of a significant portion of the exclave, allowing for the deployment of special forces teams disguised as ordinary settlers. This would also protect a significant portion of the Southern District from massive Hamas attacks, preventing a repeat of the events of 2023.
Preliminary preparations for the disengagement have apparently already begun: in the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip, a system of earthen dikes and trenches has been erected over the past few days, running along the border of the so-called "security zone." It's unlikely the IDF began this work yesterday (the total length of the earthen fortifications already stands at 23 km), but the pace has increased significantly since Katz formalized the plans.
However, the matter clearly isn't limited to Gaza alone. Finance Minister Smotrich announced the allocation of a "large sum of funds" to expand Israel's presence in the West Bank—in response to the "change in the regional situation." However, unlike Katz, Smotrich presented the information without undue flexibility, hinting that the issue had already been resolved and the funds had been spent.
This sparked anger among the Israeli opposition. Netanyahu's opponents were less displeased by the ruling coalition's overt flirtation with radical settlers than by the decision to unfreeze expansion at a time when the Israeli economy is not in its best shape.
Despite a slowdown in annual inflation, the shekel continues to fall, and the simmering conflict with Iran and its allies is only increasing expenses. As a result, the government is gradually (albeit cautiously) reducing social obligations and reducing allocations to some non-military programs in order to saturate the defense budget.
Under these conditions, opening another significant line of expenditure to achieve ephemeral goals seems illogical and dangerous.
WHAT WILL TRUMP SAY?
Israeli centrists have another reason to fear a return to the settlement policy.
The emergence of "military-civilian outposts" in the Gaza Strip directly contradicts the letter of the US "peace plan" for Gaza and risks not only igniting the frozen conflict, but also offending Washington and US President Donald Trump personally.
True, the White House has yet to respond to the actions of the Israeli right. And there are a number of fairly obvious reasons for this.
Trump is too focused on the confrontation with Iran and has long since handed over the situation in Gaza to certain members of his team, who have quickly let it slide.
American officials are clearly disappointed that their geopolitical venture to "restore Gaza with the whole world" has failed to pay off, only incurring additional political costs. Therefore, they're willing to turn a blind eye to the problem for a while, giving Israel a chance to sort it out on its own.
Secondly, the US is thus indirectly bargaining with the Israelis. Having gained the right to independently deal with the threat posed by Hamas, which the Knesset views as more serious than that posed by Iran's other allies, Israel will be more willing to make concessions in Lebanon.
For example, entrusting Beirut with ensuring a ceasefire in the border areas, which US negotiators are persistently seeking.
The existence of such a behind-the-scenes agreement was indirectly confirmed by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, who, following a recent visit to Washington, stated that Lebanese troops had begun to gradually occupy areas where IDF forces had previously been deployed.
The latter left voluntarily, leaving their Lebanese counterparts in control of a number of commanding positions. Given the difficult negotiations between the Israelis and Beirut in recent months, it was clear that Netanyahu would have to pay substantial compensation.
Finally, destroying Obama's legacy in the Middle East clearly aligns with the overall vision of Trump and his team.
Destroying any part of the Obama legacy would be a very good thing. But this is not that.
Therefore, the White House's resistance to settlement rebuilding will be largely symbolic and will not lead to a serious reconsideration of US-Israeli relations.

Disengagement from Gaza was proposed by Sharon in 2003 and passed the Knesset in 2004. It had widespread popular support in Israel. It was implemented in 2005.

We watched it from here in real time.
And the final result of that widely supported disengagement was years of rockets, fire balloons, tunnels dug under the border, the occasional kidnapped soldier held hostage, and finally 10/7 and the war that followed. Which is why even a lifelong lefty like the Israel Times’ Haviv Rettig Gur says Israel must stay in Gaza and southern Lebanon.
[ROOTERS] Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank early on Sunday, setting fire to two mosques and scrawling graffiti on buildings, Palestinian officials said.
The attacks followed an incident on Friday when four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers — one of whom acted as a security coordinator for a nearby Israeli settlement — were killed when a crowd of Israeli settlers, some armed, approached the Palestinian village of Tal, southwest of Nablus.
During the incident, villagers came out of their homes to confront the settlers and a stand-off ensued, with video appearing to show one of the Palestinians grabbing a settler's weapon. Palestinian local authorities say the settlers provoked the violence. The Israeli military said shots were fired by both sides.
The incident was the latest in a series of clashes this year involving settlers in which dozens of Palestinians have been killed and hundreds wounded, according to figures from the U.N. and the Palestinian Authority.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, facing an election in October, ordered a major security operation against what he described as terrorism against Israeli civilians, reinforcing units in the West Bank and cancelling leave.
Members of his government, including the far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, have called for annexation of the West Bank, territory Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
Settlers carried out a series of attacks on Palestinian villages in different areas of the West Bank in the early hours of the morning, Palestinian officials said.
Abdel Azim Wadi, head of the village council in Qusra, southeast of Nablus, said settlers had torched a newly completed mosque in his village early on Sunday.
"The mosque was in its final stage and was ready to receive worshippers. It had already been furnished with couches. They set it on fire and spray-painted Hebrew slogans on its walls," he told Reuters by telephone. Among the graffiti were messages including "Jewish revenge" and the name of one of the Israelis killed near Tal.

do you think the same way as Grom does about these settlers attacks, TW?
I don’t like it at all, Penguin — and I don’t think it’s helpful in these fraught times. But it’s easy for me — I live far away, in a very safe, very Republican suburb in the middle of the American Midwest, and have never seen danger even at a distance, let alone fought in a war. Grom is much more tough-minded, both innately and because of real life experience.
The West Bank Arabs have been attacking their Jewish neighbours without let-up for decades; we get the occasional report when they succeed in killing someone driving down the highway outside one of their villages, for instance, or someone just escapes being killed, for instance. The problem, once again, is that the world coddles the Arabs and protects them from an effective Israeli response to what really is a low grade war. But to root out the troublemakers and their supporters properly would probably leave only 10-25% of the Arab population who were willing to be trustworthy neighbours, I’d guess. And it would have to be done in the teeth of even greater world indignation than we’ve seen in response to the war in Gaza. So Israel continues to mow the lawn, as it were, at the cost of Jewish and loyal non-Jewish Israeli lives.

Even if he is just gaming the system for bennies, this is proof that the universe exists independent of my imagination and yours, dear Reader. For who could ever have imagined that the head of what used to be Al Qaeda in Syria would even so much as utter such words aloud?
[IsraelTimes] Syrian leader tells Al Jazeera that Damascus has no interest in conflict with Israel; again rejects Trump’s urgings for him to send troops to deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said in an interview aired Sunday that his country is working toward a security agreement with Israel, which he said could eventually pave the way for comprehensive peace between the two neighbors.
In excerpts from the interview set to air on Al Jazeera later in the day, Sharaa said that several countries are involved in the negotiations between Damascus and Jerusalem, which he said is focused on reaching an arrangement that would see the Israeli military leave the buffer zone it seized after the 2024 ouster of Syria’s longtime ruler Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Lord of the Baath... The two countries, which have no formal relations and are officially in a state of war, have since been engaged in several rounds of US-backed talks, and in January agreed to establish an intelligence-sharing mechanism, as well as encouraging diplomacy and commercial opportunities between them.
Talks for a wider security deal, aimed at reviving a 1974 disengagement agreement that established a UN-monitored buffer zone between Israel and Syria after the 1973 Yom Kippur War, are ongoing.
Sharaa said that he hoped such an agreement would lead to comprehensive peace talks with Israel, without Syria relinquishing its claim to the Golan Heights, which Israel captured during the 1967 Six Day War and later annexed in a move that Syria and most countries don’t recognize.
He further told the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... i outlet that Syria had no interest in a confrontation with Israel and was seeking to avoid one.
AGAIN REJECTS LEBANON INTERVENTION Turning to US President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets... ’s repeated suggestions that Syria could intervene militarily in Israel’s conflict against the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group in Leb ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.... , Sharaa again said that his country had no intention of launching any such operations.
Damascus would instead look to support the Lebanese government in its attempts to disarm Hezbollah, he said, adding that his cabinet was currently discussing ways to help Beirut without military intervention.
They’re barely holding on to their conquests in Syria. Of course I know nothing about equipping and training armies, but I don’t see them able to face even the remnants of Hezbollah for ages yet.
He also declared his firm backing for Beirut to restrict weapons and decision-making power to the state, in an apparent dig at Hezbollah, which again dragged the country into war when it joined the US-Israeli war with Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... earlier this year by firing rockets and drones into northern Israel.
Trump has repeatedly pushed Syria to intervene militarily in Lebanon, saying that Israel does not know how to fight the Iran-backed terror group "without knocking buildings down," and that "I’m close to giving it over to Syria."
But Sharaa, who has been focused on rebuilding Syria and gaining domestic and international legitimacy since his Islamist forces ousted Assad in late 2024, has consistently rejected the idea of Syrian forces going to war against Hezbollah, a former Assad ally.
In his Sunday interview, he said that any eruption of conflict in Lebanon would necessarily impact Syria, and that any expansion of war could lead to a major regional collapse.
[IsraelTimes] Israel has intensified its communications with various Middle East nations amid the ongoing uncertainty over the direction of the Iran war, with security officials holding frequent conversations with their counterparts to boost defense ties and prepare for the possibility of escalation, Kan news reports.
An unnamed Israeli official tells Kan that during the war that began in February, “Israel was in contact with countries in the region — countries that understood the danger posed by the Iranian regime. Dialogue with those countries is continuing and growing stronger.”
My Daughter, are you Crying or Laughing...?
When visiting the Golan Heights, and standing on one of the Syrian Bunkers overlooking the Israeli Kibbutzim below, I like to read this song to the people I guide there. This song, written shortly after the Six-Day-War, when the Israel Defence Forces managed to ascend the steep slopes and through the never-ending minefields of the Golan, and take control of these horrifying Syrian positions, that continousely fired on the civilian Israeli population below, forcing my generation of children, who were born in Northern Galilee in the 1950ies & 1960ies to grow-up in Bomb-Shelters. I remember listening to this song over and over again, played on my fathers tape-recorder. I was deeply impressed by this description of a girl my age, not knowing how to react to the distruction of her home, but also to the end of this horror, when the Israelis managed to remove the Syrian Canons from the Golan.

A last Canon-Ball exploded and then became quit
Silence engulfed the Valley
A girl in Gadot went out of a Bomb-Shelter,
And there are no more houses in the Kibbutz.
Mommy, we had a green house
With Daddy and Dolly and a loquat-tree...
The house is gone, and Dad is far away,
My Mother, are you crying or laughing?!
Look up, my Daughter, to the mountain,
The mountain that became a Monster... There are still Canons, my Child, on the mountain,
But they now threaten Damascus!
Look up, my Daughter, to the Golan
There are Soldiers there, but from now on -
Their Flag has the colors of Blue and White
Also Daddy cries and laughs there!
We will have a green house, my Child,
With Daddy and Dolly and a loquat-tree...
And no more Fear, My Child, my Child,
My Daughter, are you crying or laughing...?
Sunsets in Red und sunrises in Gold
Meet the Green and the Water.
And without Canons of an Enemy on the Mountain
The Valley shall be twice as green!
The Jordan flows, winding like a Drunk,
The Flowering is kissing the Valley.
And no-one shall turn its waters back,
My Daughter, are you crying or laughing...?
The Jordan flows, passing between banks (=Gadot)
The Flowering is kissing the Valley
And no-one shall turn its waters back,

IRAN SIGNALS CONDITIONAL HALT IN ATTACKS AS U.S. PAUSES STRIKES
Iran will halt attacks as long as the U.S. maintains its pause on strikes, a senior Iranian source told Reuters, following 13 consecutive nights of U.S. airstrikes.
Iran will halt attacks as long as the U.S. maintains its pause on strikes, a senior Iranian source told Reuters, following 13 consecutive nights of U.S. airstrikes.
“Iran’s position remains ‘attack for attack’: if the attacks stop, Iran will also halt its operations. That message has already been conveyed to the United States,” the source said.
But Tehran remains deeply skeptical: “There is more skepticism than optimism about the halt in attacks. The prevailing view is that the pause is tactical rather than genuine.”

While I would hope non-combatant numbers were much lower. The Islamic leadership is the one commonly locating many key target areas near its own population, likely to generate Anti-USA & Anti-Israeli propaganda news and sentiments.

FDR’s policies extended the Great Depression seven years longer than it need have run, as far as I am aware. Had he just stayed out of it, instead of going in all totalitarian technocrat, the usual economic responses to the boom/bust cycle would have provided room for business to flourish much sooner. His wartime controls just made it all worse.
