Foreign Affairs / Heavy Protest All Around Iran Against Isalamic Rule. by morinto: 10:24am On Sep 22, 2022
While Iranians Burned Hijabs as a form of Protest, Turkish Women cut off their Hair Outside the Iranian Embassy, while Kurdish and Lebanese Women took part in a Rally in the city center of Beirut in Support.
Protesters set fires in the street in Tehran during fifth night of unrest following death of woman who was attacked by 'morality police' for not wearing the veil - as women in Turkey protest outside embassy holding locks of their hair.
Dozens of Iranian cities were locked in the grips of deadly riots as women tore off their hijabs and took to the streets, burning the garments while marching for their rights to be seen publicly without the veil.
An elderly lady removed her veil to expose her grey hair and walked through the city of Rasht with her head uncovered, chanting 'death to [supreme leader] Khamenei' — risking life imprisonment for her defiance.

Lights flashing red and blue shrank back into the shadows as protesters advanced, with a crowd of hundreds overwhelming the regime's forces. Elsewhere, police fled atop motorcycles as a wave of protesters charged.

Amini's treatment during captivity led to her becoming comatose and dying following her arrest in Tehran, sparking demonstrations in multiple areas, the capital included.

President Raisi has promised an investigation after at-first denying the accusations, but it has done little to quell the protests.

The head of Tehran’s morality police, Ahmed Mirzaei, has reportedly been suspended after the death of the young woman, according to The Times of Israel.

So Igbos the coons of west Africa need apologies from one of their masters that they always lick their ass? grin grin

Well Yoruba also need apologies from Igbos for killing ladoke akintola, and some of our army plus by invading Western region instead of invading their main northern enemies.
Excatly. Ironsi and igbo man started the first coup in Nigeria and killed all the leaders of different region but spare nnamdi azikiwe. Then you expect peace to happen in Nigeria? I think the ibo unbalanced the power in Nigeria. Because Ironsi was the first person to make other people in Nigeria to know coup is possible and he was the first person that started tribalism.

Foreign Affairs / Ukraine Prison Running Out Of Space As Russia Military Surrender. by morinto: 11:11am On Sep 13, 2022
Ukrainian forces have retaken 6,000 square kilometres of their homeland - 3,000 of them in the past six days alone, it has been reported.

And in his nightly address to his nation, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the "advance of our forces" was still continuing.

His claims appear to be supported by renowned think tank, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US-based group which provides research and analysis of defence and foreign affairs.

It said the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region was "routing Russian forces and collapsing Russia's northern Donbas axis".

It went on: "Russian forces are not conducting a controlled withdrawal and are hurriedly fleeing southeastern Kharkiv Oblast (an administrative region) to escape encirclement around Izyum."

A spokesman for Ukrainian military intelligence said Russian troops were surrendering en masse as "they understand the hopelessness of their situation" and an adviser to President Zelenskyy had said there were so many prisoners of war, the country was running out of space to accommodate them.

It is claimed Ukrainian military have freed more than 20 settlements in 24 hours.
In recent days, Kyiv's forces have captured territory at least twice the size of greater London, according to the British Ministry of Defence.

"Since the beginning of September and up to today, our fighters have liberated more than 6,000 square km of the
territory of Ukraine in the south and in the east," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video.
Ukraine's forces are said to have pushed all the way back to the north-eastern border in some places, forcing the Russians to make a hasty retreat.

There were reports of chaos as Russian troops pulled out.

"The Russians were here in the morning. Then at noon, they suddenly started shouting wildly and began to run away, charging off in tanks and armoured vehicles," Dmytro Hrushchenko, a resident of recently-liberated Zaliznychne, a small town near the eastern front line, told Sky News.

Video taken by the Ukrainian military showed soldiers raising the Ukrainian flag over battle-damaged buildings.

In one scene, a fighter wiped his boots on a Russian flag on the ground. Other videos showed Ukrainians inspecting the wreckage of Russian military vehicles, including tanks.

Ukrainian teams were disarming land mines and other unexploded weapons in the recaptured areas and searching for any remaining Russian troops, officials said.

However, defence experts have cautioned the battle in Ukraine has ebbed and flowed over recent months.

BREAKING:

Russian troops on the right bank of the Dnipro have started negotiating their surrender with Ukrainian forces.

Apparently, their logistics aren’t working after Ukraine hit the bridges on the Dnipro river and they are quickly running out of ammo.
The information was provided by the spokesperson of Operational Command "South" Natalia Gumenyuk.

Apparently, the Russians want to be allowed to withdraw with their weapons intact.

Foreign Affairs / Police Pursue Local Russian Lawmakers Who Urged Charging Putin With Treason by morinto: 11:18am On Sep 10, 2022
group of district council members in St. Petersburg, President Vladimir Putin’s hometown, called for the Russian leader to be charged with treason and removed from office in a rare but brazen protest against the war in Ukraine.

We're following changes at the palace after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Get the Post Elizabeth newsletter for updates.
The brave move by the Smolninsky District Council drew a predictably swift and unfriendly reaction. A day after the resolution against Putin was made public, a local police station told the lawmakers they were facing legal charges “due to actions aimed at discrediting the current Russian government.”

The district council’s statement came in the form of a request to the Russian parliament, the State Duma, and asserted that Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine on Feb. 24 led to a massive loss of life, turned countless Russian men into disabled veterans, hindered the national economy, and fast-tracked NATO’s eastward expansion.
A second municipal council in Moscow’s Lomonosovsky district followed suit and voted on a similar motion calling on Putin to resign. Outspoken criticism of Putin is rare, and while the two motions were little more than symbolic statements, they represented a remarkable public rebuke. They also served as evidence that public support for the war in Ukraine is not universal, and could be eroding as a recent survey of Russian public opinion found.

Russians back war in Ukraine, but report finds notable opposition

“We believe that the decision made by President Putin to start the special military operation is detrimental to the security of Russia and its citizens,” the Smolninsky document filed on Wednesday evening said.

“We ask you,” the lawmakers wrote, “to initiate a treason charge against the president of the Russian Federation to remove him from office.”

Foreign Affairs / Prepare Bomb Shelters And Supplies, Residents In Crimea Told As Ukrainian Troops by morinto: 5:37am On Sep 06, 2022
Ukraine on Monday warned residents in occupied Crimea to start preparing bomb shelters and supplies as Kyiv’s counter-offensive to reclaim southern Ukraine gathers pace.

The warning came as Moscow admitted it had been forced to pause preparations for a sham referendum to formally join Russia due to security concerns.

In a sign the assault has made progress, one of Volodymyr Zelensky’s top aides said the illegally annexed peninsula should prepare for “de-occupation”.

Ukrainian forces last week launched a major counter-offensive, its first since the beginning of the war, to take back control of Russian-held territory in the region.

Despite the attack said to be focused on southern Ukraine, Kyiv on Monday warned residents in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, to brace for the potential of fierce fighting.
We ask residents of occupied territories, including the Crimean peninsula, to follow [Ukrainian] officials’ recommendations during de-occupation measures,” Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior aide to the Ukrainian president, wrote on Twitter.

“In particular, to prepare a bomb shelter, stock up with sufficient amounts of water and charge power banks. Everything will be in Ukraine.”
Russian military bases on the Black Sea peninsula were rocked by devastating explosions in the build-up to the counter-offensive, but Ukrainian officials refused to publicly take credit for the attacks.

Crimea, a strategically vital stronghold for Russia and home to its Black Sea naval fleet, was always thought to be out for Ukraine’s arsenal of precision weapons.

But as Ukrainian forces move closer to the southern city of Kherson, more targets will fall into range of US-provided Himars and other Western long-range rocket launchers
A few hours later, he posted a video denying that Russian-installed authorities had paused efforts for a long-planned referendum to bring the region under Kremlin control.

Ukrainian forces advance
While Ukraine has remained largely silent on operations in the south, Western analysts said Kyiv had been able to increase its bridgehead over the Inhulets River near Kherson.

Russian airstrikes on Sukhy Stavok, Bezimenne and Kostromka around the secured grounds “may indicate that Ukrainian forces have advanced up to 12km south east of the bridgehead”, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US-based think-tank.

After Ukrainian forces liberated Vysokopillya, there were reports that Russian attacks on the settlements of Olhyne, Potomkyne, Doryanka, and Novovoznesenske nearby, suggesting Moscow’s forces had left the area.
Pro-Russian sources said Ukraine’s offensive was being carried out in at least five directions east and west of Vysokopillya, near the Ukrainian bridgehead, near Snihurivka some 37 miles east of Mykolaiv, and north west and west of Kherson.

“Ukrainian forces have made substantial enough progress to begin evoking more realistic commentary from the Russian milbloggers, who had been hewing very closely to the Kremlin’s optimistic rhetoric until today,” ISW added

If Soludo could demolish Odumeje's church and other Igbo buildings built on drainage corridors in Onitsha, costing perhaps billions of Naira, why is Miyetti Allah thinking it can escape the rule of law in Anambra state?
Anti-open grazing law is state law. It MUST be implemented.

If Soludo even thinks of backing down, then he should rebuild all the houses he demolished in Onitsha. undecided

There cannot be two different implementations of law just because the herdsmen live and love lawlessness.

Lagos state is demolishing Igbo shops/houses using state laws (whether fair or not), but when it comes to Igbo states, some expect to be pampered. BTW if every Igbo reasoned like me, no single Igbo money will drop anywhere outside of Igboland, cool but let me not digress.

So, Miyetti Allah, abide by state law or leave! kiss

What sulodo is doing is good and not bad. But why does the igbo always play victims because you mention igbo stores been destroy in lagos? Why do we always divide Nigeria with tribal stuff? The high time we remove tribe and start seeing Nigeria as one and have interest of every body irrespective of the tribe the better for all of us in Nigeria. If we Nigeria can remove tribal sentiment trust me our politicians won't mess with us.

Foreign Affairs / Ukraine Offensive Prompts Kherson Separatists To ‘pause’ Poll On Joining by morinto: 5:25pm On Sep 05, 2022
Russia-appointed officials in the occupied Kherson region of Ukraine say they are “pausing” a planned referendum on whether to become part of Russia because of attacks by Ukrainian forces.

Ukraine last week said it had launched offensives in several directions in the southern region but has since released few details and continues to insist on a “regime of silence” for strategic reasons.

Russian state news agency Tass reported that the head of Kherson’s authorities, Kirill Stremousov, said plans for a referendum on joining Russia had been “paused” because of the security situation.

Stremousov told Tass attacks on the Antonivskiy Bridge in Kherson city by Ukrainian forces had stopped traffic from crossing the Dnieper River, which links the two sides of the region.

Foreign Affairs / Ukraine's Military Claims To Have Broken Through Russia's First Line Of Defence by morinto: 6:02pm On Aug 29, 2022
The reported push appears to form part of a long-awaited offensive being launched by Kyiv in an attempt to retake the country's south.

It follows weeks of Ukrainian attacks aimed at cutting off Russian forces there from main supply routes.

Russia's military has not commented on Ukraine's claim, but one official said this was "yet another fake".

"Ukrainian formations are suffering severe losses both in the south and in all other directions," said Sergei Aksyonov, the Moscow-installed head of Crimea - Ukraine's southern peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014.

The claims by both Ukraine and Russia have not been independently verified.

Russia has occupied large swathes of Ukraine's Kherson region since its invasion began on 24 February.

On Monday, Ukraine's Kakhovka operational group in the south said that one regiment of Russian-backed forces had left its positions in the Kherson region.

It added that Russian paratroopers providing the back-up had fled the battlefield.

Ukraine's Hromadske TV said three of its sources in Ukraine's military confirmed that the first line of defence had been broken.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian army spokeswoman Natalia Humeniuk said "any military operation requires 'silence' regime", urging Ukrainians to be patient.

"Our main efforts have been focused on destroying the enemy's ammunition storage bases. More than 10 of such bases were destroyed over the past week," she said.

But Ms Humeniuk refused to give any further details.

In a telegram post the Ukrainian military also claimed on Monday to have struck multiple targets in the region, including a factory in Beryslav and a Russian army post by the North Crimean Canal.

Kyiv officials claim to have used US-supplied Himars rocket systems to destroy three bridges crossing the Dnipro River, strikes it said would cut the Russian forces occupying Kherson off from weapons and troop reinforcements.

According to Western military sources, Kyiv's strikes on the river crossings are part of a targeted effort to isolate Russian troops on the right (western) bank of the river with the ultimate goal of recapturing the entire Kherson region.

Moscow relied on the bridges to resupply their troops stationed west of the Dnipro river, who are now at risk of becoming isolated from the rest of Russia's occupying forces.

Russian outlets also reported on Monday that Ukraine had struck targets in the Kherson region - but reported that the strikes had focused on civilian infrastructure.

Moscow-appointed regional official Vladimir Leontyev claimed on Monday that Ukrainian forces had shelled a hydropower plant and floodway in the Kherson city of Novaya Kakhovka, according to Russia's TASS news agency.

Its forces also claimed to have shot down three ballistic missiles and 21 rockets fired by Ukraine

Good day nairalanders,

I have lived in Germany for 3 years now i have a 1 years old daughter and I also have a 8 years old daughter who lives with my elder sister in nigeria.

She is married with three kids , I provide everything for them and I pay one of her child school fee but my sister is never satisfied with the money she keep demanding me for more money.

She knows it very well that I am not stable yet in this country , life is hard just because she is taking care of my daughter and she want me to carry the responsibility of her three children.

I make sure that I send a big parcel for all of them once a year as I am typing the parcel is on the way but she want me to pay school fees for all her children too and I can't afford to pay for all four.

I am paying her son school fees is 87k per term and my daughter own is 67k . On the 2nd I sent her 300k for school fees and foodstuffs she called on monday demanding me for 154k for her son and my daughter school fee I asked her what about the money I sent on the 2nd she said she bought foodstuffs for 120k and use the 180k for her two oldest children school fee and she want me to send the 154k for the youngest 2 , I was angry with her and I cut the call.

I am angry my own sister is draining me financially and I have a lot of bills to pay too and a small child to cater for.

I have spoken to my friend she is happy to take care of my daughter for me until I am stable enough to bring her to Germany. I like the idea because my sister is not helping me to progress.

I hope my daughter living with my friend will be a good idea.

I haven't told my sister anything yet because we are not in good term but I want to hear from you first please let me know if I should allow my friend to take care of her or I should leave her with my elder sister.
I understand. Even though am not in your shoes but I lived in the UK and most people in Nigeria think we are rich and abroad have a tree to pluck money. So everyone want to drain you. Taking your child to Germany is a good idea because your sister might not be giving her the proper love even though she is going to a good school. Your visa suppose to cover for your daughter because mine can cover for my wife and daughter even though am not married. Just be wise my dear in sending money and try to take your daughter to Germany to get the love from u
