Dushanbe(30/1 – 37.50). That moment really paints a vivid picture of the tension these practitioners are facing. The turbaned woman, who opens the door just a crack to let out the incense, symbolizes the secrecy and caution that people involved in practices like fortune telling or witchcraft must now adopt. Incense, often used in spiritual practices, also emphasizes the mystical atmosphere around her work. It highlights not only the fear of legal consequences but also the personal risk she faces in a society where these practices are being cracked down on. Caught between traditional Islamic belief and Tajik culture the…

Red Cross, United Nations are incompetent not commenting on the Russian atrocities. The international community outcries the executions. Geneva, Switzerland (23/1- 80). In 2024 alone, Ukrainian authorities confirmed the execution of at least 109 Ukrainian POWs by Russian forces. Ukraine’s human rights commissioner, Dmytro Lubinets, forwarded evidence to the UN and the Red Cross, which have largely ignored these actions. https://twitter.com/EuromaidanPress/status/1882416283930542210 This figure represents a stark increase compared to previous years, where a total of 177 executions had been documented since the beginning of the full-scale war in 2022.

The recent House of Lords debate on air defence capabilities provided insights into the United Kingdom’s plans for strengthening its front-line defences and managing technological dependencies. Lord Craig of Radley asked about tangible additions to the UK’s air defence capabilities in the next 12 months, “My Lords, I too have warned before of the potential threat to the United Kingdom mainland from the air and of a second Battle of Britain.

Russia has trained its troops for a potential attack on Japan and South Korea, according to a report by the Financial Times. Leaked military files show detailed plans for strikes on civilian infrastructure in event of war. The British outlet reviewed 29 Russian military documents and uncovered a strategy devised by Moscow to target the two Asian nations.

Wars are fought in many ways. In trenches, behind the wheel of tank, at the trigger of an artillery piece, in the rear supporting the troops. But the war in the Ukraine also fights with guile and disguise, deceit, surprise and humor. No intelligence, cold warriors, or secrecy but the unmistaken conviction of bringing the fight to the Russian regime. The team is led by a quirky former academic, a housewife, a gifted arty-farty guy, an editor, some journalists and a few volunteers. There is a cat-lady, a Thor of thunder, a bunch of nerds working out the quirks, and…

The man said there has been no sense of accountability or introspection forthcoming from the woman. An Indian-American family subjected to racial harassment last month plans to press charges against the woman who hurled abuses at them, emphasising the need for accountability and speaking out against hate. The incident took place in November when renowned photographer Pervez Taufiq, 50, was travelling with his wife and three kids from Mexico to Los Angeles in a bus. A fellow female passenger went on a racist diatribe against the family while it was onboard the United Airlines shuttle bus. Taufiq posted a video…

Donald Trump on the sidelines in France where he attended the re-opening of a change of direction of U.S. involvement in helping NATO and Ukraine. This was also confirmed by the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov speaking at the OSCE conference in Malta. The Russian take the signaling of the European and U.S. as concerning. Trump is perceived as the rising star on the foreign affair domain as a tough negotiator.
