Senegalese president accuses West of forgetting Africa’s needs amid Ukrainian crisis |
| Re: Gov. by TrittNG: 7:56pm On Oct 24, 2022 |
TrittNG:The refusal of numerous African countries to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia is, among other things, a reaction to the world community's indifference to the problems facing African states, including their fight against terrorism, Senegalese President Macky Sall, who is this year’s chairman of the African Union, said on Monday. |

TrittNG:"Africa is not against Ukraine," AFP quoted Sall as saying at the 8th Dakar International Forum on Peace and Security in Africa in the Senegalese capital. "However, we see complete and total indifference from other countries to the fact that African states continuously come under terrorist attacks," the Senegalese president stressed.

| Re: Gov. by TrittNG: 8:05pm On Oct 24, 2022 |
TrittNG:Sall also pointed to the lack of international solidarity in the face of the economic crisis that the African continent is currently experiencing. |

TrittNG:The net financial debt of 150 of Germany’s largest listed companies reached its highest level ever this year, Handelsblatt newspaper reported on Sunday. The outlet said that in just one year, the debt of major corporations (excluding banks and insurance companies) soared by 20%, to €533 billion ($526 billion). Twenty-five German companies currently have more debt than equity, the report noted, adding that to reduce debt, many of them are planning to sell their shares. |
| Re: Gov. by TrittNG: 8:12pm On Oct 24, 2022 |
TrittNG:Also, the interest rate turnaround by the central banks is causing the costs for new loans to rise drastically. Handelsblatt cited Bundesbank statistics that corporate bonds are currently yielding an average annual interest rate of 4.3%. Just over a year ago it was 0.7%. “The trend has recently accelerated because investors expect rapidly rising interest rates in view of double-digit inflation rates,” it wrote. |
| Re: Gov. by TrittNG: 8:14pm On Oct 24, 2022 |
TrittNG:The report highlighted that telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom, which is included in the DAX index, has the largest net debt among German companies, estimated at €145.8 billion. On Sunday, Saxony’s state premier, Michael Kretschmer, warned that German companies are currently struggling to survive amid the skyrocketing energy costs. According to the official, many companies are ready to stop their work within a few weeks, not months. Laughing in buffoonery |

TrittNG:The day before, Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported, citing a statement by the president of the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Peter Adrian, that some enterprises in Germany may suspend operations as the energy crisis worsens. |

UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity Monday is United Nations Day – a holiday celebrating the anniversary of the day the intergovernmental organization was established on October 24, 1945. In the three quarters of a century since its founding, the UN has proven successful in its main goal: preventing World War III. On other fronts, the organization’s record is far more modest. 1 |

UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity Since its creation 77 years ago by the victorious powers in World War II, the UN has proven instrumental in helping to resolve or at least temper dozens of civil, regional and global conflicts, from the Indo-Pakistan wars to the seemingly eternal Arab-Israeli conflict and the forty-year Cold War between the USSR and the USA, which saw the planet come dangerously close to nuclear armageddon on multiple occasions. From the early 1990s onward, through lavish funding and vigorous diplomatic courting, the United States sought to turn the UN and other international institutions into arms of the State Department, hoping to create the post-Cold War unipolar “New World Order” declared by former President George H.W. Bush in late 1991. 2 |

UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity But these efforts have not been completely successful, with the overwhelming majority of nations (including most of America’s allies) refusing to endorse the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, and most of the Global South rejecting the West’s efforts to bully them into submission to condemn Russia’s military operation in Ukraine in February 2022. 3 |

UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity Unlike its League of Nations predecessor, which collapsed into irrelevance after Germany withdrew from the body in late 1933, the UN has managed to remain a truly representative international authority, with its 193 member states representing over 99 percent of the world’s population, and all of the planet’s major powers. 4 |

UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity The organization’s endurance can be credited in part to the work of Andrei Gromyko – the Soviet diplomat-turned Cold War foreign minister instructed to enshrine the right of veto into the authority of each of the five permanent Security Council members during negotiations on the UN’s creation. The right of veto has stopped resolutions on key global security issues from becoming popularity contests and, for the most part, has prevented the international organization from being turned into a tool allowing one major power or bloc to pursue its interests. 5 |

UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity The UN’s current setup allows nations to take their grievances directly to the body, have their perspective heard, and hopefully resolve conflicts before they escalate into a regional or global conflagration that could end humanity. For conflicts in progress, the UN is a key platform for brokering ceasefires and peace agreements, or at least facilitating talks between combatants.Pending approval from warring parties, the UN can deploy peacekeepers to put new conflicts on ice or prevent frozen ones from reigniting. 6 |

UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity 1) KOREA The UN has not always lived up to its role as peacekeeper. Seventy-two years ago, the body faced the very real prospect of its own dissolution after voting to intervene militarily in the Korean crisis at Washington’s behest. On June 27, 1950, taking advantage of the Soviet boycott of the Security Council in protest of China’s UN seat being held by the Kuomintang government, rather than the People’s Republic, the US and its allies rammed through a Security Council resolution authorizing the deployment of UN troops to Korea under what would nominally become a "United Nations Command." 7 |

UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity Over 370,000 troops from 22 countries including the US, the UK, Canada, Turkey, Australia, and the Philippines fought in Korea under the UN flag, with the three-year conflict claiming three million lives, and leveling 85 percent of North Korea’s infrastructure using more bomb tonnage than was used in the entire Pacific Theater in World War II. After China’s entry into the conflict in late 1950, US President Harry Truman and UN Command chief Douglas MacArthur pondered using nuclear weapons. Fortunately for the world, the situation never escalated to that stage, and in July 1953, an armistice was signed. Moscow learned its lesson, and in the years and decades since, the UN has never again been authorized to intervene directly in a nation-to-nation or regional warzone flying the UN flag. 8 |

TritNG: Kian 2 or Arash 2 A heavy kamikaze drone designed to hit critical infrastructure and working radars from air defense systems covering them at a long range of about 1,000-2,000 km. The main purpose of the drone is claimed to be urban infrastructure for "strategic strikes". Purpose - strikes on ground targets from the air Flight time - unknown Range - 1,000-2,000 km (ordnance showed a range of 1,400 km) Combat power - 260 kg of explosives Features: Kian-2 is equipped with a jet engine, Arash-2 with a piston engine with propeller output. Notable mentions includes Qods Mohajer-6, Kaman 22, Shahed 191 Saegheh-2 etc. In summary, Iran has made significant progress in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles in recent decades. Using various avenues and opportunities, not always legal ones, it has managed to build an industry that regularly develops new UAV models and launches their production. In all likelihood, current trends will continue in the future. |

TrittNG:The senior officer echoed concerns voiced by Defense Minister Shoigu on Sunday - namely that Kiev was "planning a provocation involving the detonation of a so-called 'dirty bomb', or a low-yield nuclear weapon," and then claiming that the explosion was caused by a Russian tactical nuclear weapon. |
