Protesters Rally in Kishinev Against Government Policies.
Rallies against the government in Moldova have been going on for more than a month, with protesters demanding the resignation of President Maia Sandu and calling for early elections.
Protesters are outraged by the unprecedented rise in prices for food gas and other energy resources - as well as by high inflation and a plunge in living standards - and they accuse the authorities of being unable to cope with current issues.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu noted that citizens have the right to protest, but she called the organizers of the action "criminals who are trying to destabilize the situation in the country". Sandu also reproached the judges for delaying the case against former chairman of the Moldovan Savings Bank, Ilan Sor.

Mauritius Wants to Develop Cooperation With Russia – Ambassador
Mauritius intends to actively develop cooperation with Russia, the ambassador of the republic to Russia, Jankee Kheswar, said on Sunday.
Russia is a big and influential country, and we want to actively cooperate with it," the diplomat said.

According to the ambassador, relations with Russia are also significant because Moscow was one of the first to conclude diplomatic relations with Mauritius.

He also highlighted that Mauritius is welcoming a growing number of Russian tourists as several Western countries have restricted air travel with Russia.
Kheswar added that Port Louis is trying to forge a strategy that would allow to welcome even more tourists from Russia and give them an opportunity to pay with Mir cards.

Joe biden will surely loose re-election with this Ukraine war.
Europe is in recession already and winter is about to make it a worse experience with the cost of gas rising almost daily.
As strange as this may sound, I think trump is the best Potus we've seen in recent times.
If the right step is not taken to curb the impending hardship knocking on America, I see a civil war breaking out soon.
Someone call Biden to order before it's too late.

Civil war is definitely on the horizon.

Earlier, Putin said grain deal may be BLOCKED if it turned out ships using corridor had transported EXPLOSIVES used in TERROR ATTACK on Crimean Bridge.

How long can the West support Ukraine for?
They couldn't support the Afghan puppets that they imposed on the Afghan people.
They couldn't keep fighting for 20 years in Afghanistan so how long can they keep fighting in Ukraine?
Afghan Talibans drained the West and eventually prevailed upon the West.
How much damage do you think a country like Russia (with the enormous resources at it's disposal) will inflict on the West? (1000x the damage inflicted on the West by the Taliban)

The Taliban* took power in Afghanistan in August, 2021, triggering the collapse of the US-backed government and accelerating the American troop pullout. On August 31, 2021, US forces completed their withdrawal from the South Asian country, ending their 20-year-long military presence there. * the group under UN sanctions for terrorist activity

Russia to go through with Ukraine operation despite NATO’s involvement - Kremlin

Russia capable of continuing military operation despite NATO’s support for Kiev, Dmitry Peskov told journalists.

NATO has in fact got involved in the conflict in Ukraine but it is in no way affecting Russia’s goals, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Rossiya-1 on Sunday.

"In fact, NATO has got involved in the Ukrainian conflict. However, it is in no way affecting our goals. That said, the operation will continue and we will go through with it," he said in an interview with the "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" TV program, part of which was posted on Telegram.

NATO’s assistance to Ukraine complicates the situation but Russia is still capable of continuing its special military operation, Kremlin Spokesman told journalists.

"Apparently, it is making us mobilize our economic and other forces. The Kiev regime is one thing but NATO’s potential is another thing. It means an additional burden. However, our potential makes us capable of continuing the operation in this situation," Peskov said in an interview with the "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" TV program, part of which was posted on Telegram.

Central bank of G20 host rails against US dollar – media
The regulator wants to reduce reliance of the Indonesian financial markets on the greenback
Indonesia’s central bank has spoken out against the use of the US dollar in export-import transactions, and called for a switch to local currencies in international payments to reduce dependence on the greenback, news portal Tempo.co reported on Friday.

Strong US dollar is a headache – IMF

The US currency's surge is making other nations' fight against soaring inflation even harder, the global financial body suggests

As countries around the world struggle to bring down soaring inflation, the weakening of their currencies relative to the US dollar has made that fight even harder, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said.

“As world interest rates rise, financial conditions have tightened considerably for many countries. A stronger dollar only compounds these pressures, especially for some emerging market and many low-income countries that are already at a high risk of debt distress,” the IMF said.

We can't blame Buhari for inflation in Nigeria.
De-dollarization is neccessary and in progress.

White House 'Disappointed' by Palestinian Leader's Remarks on Distrusting US - Reports
The White House is "deeply disappointed" Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas told Russian President Vladimir Putin that he had lost trust in the administration of the US President Joe Biden as a mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Axios reported on Saturday, citing a spokesperson for the US National Security Council.
According to the news portal, Abbas held a meeting with Putin on the sidelines of the sixth Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia in Kazakhstan's capital city of Astana.
During the meeting, Abbas said that Washington could not mediate the crisis between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority, adding that he was satisfied with Russia's support of Palestine, Axios said.
A source told Axios that the US administration officials "were furious" over these remarks and communicated their resentment to Abbas’ advisers.
Meanwhile, Washington believes that Putin is not the type of international partner that Palestine needs to address the conflict with Israel, the news portal noted.

Liz Truss to Face New Market Turmoil After Sacking Kwarteng.
On Friday, UK Prime Minister Liz Truss replaced her close ally Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng with former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, in a last-ditch effort to calm the markets, before reversing plans to scrap a rise in corporate tax, a key part of No 10’s mini-budget.
According to reports, Truss’ pledge that new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will not make more U-turns “will do little to sooth market jitters”.

British Prime Minister Liz Truss has lost the support of her own party, whose members are now searching for ways to remove her from office, Politico reported on Friday. Truss is already the least popular PM in recent history, but ousting her may prove a challenge.

Her first month in office has been a tumultuous one. Inheriting an economy reeling from double-digit inflation and battered by a historic cost-of-living crisis following London’s sanctions on Moscow, Truss promised “growth, growth, growth,” but ended up crashing the British pound with a ‘mini-budget’ that doled out billions of pounds in tax cuts.

Truss was appointed to complete the term/tenure of her predecessor Boris Johnson that had been forced to resign.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk does not rule out that the Starlink satellite communications system may stop working in Ukraine.

"Russia is actively trying to kill Starlink. To safeguard, SpaceX has diverted massive resources towards defense. Even so, Starlink may still die," he wrote on Twitter, adding that Starlink is the only comms system still working at the scene.

US businessman Elon Musk confirmed earlier on Friday that his company SpaceX could not afford to continue to pay for the operation of the Starlink satellite communications system in Ukraine.

Musk confirms he cannot fund Starlink's operation in Ukraine indefinitely

Earlier, CNN obtained a copy of a letter in which SpaceX notified the US Department of Defense that it would stop paying for the operation of the Starlink system in Ukraine and had no plans for providing Kiev with new terminals indefinitely

US businessman Elon Musk confirmed on Friday that his company SpaceX could not afford to continue to pay for the operation of the Starlink satellite communications system in Ukraine.

"SpaceX is not asking to recoup past expenses, but also cannot fund the existing system indefinitely and send several thousand more terminals that have data usage up to 100 times greater than typical households. This is unreasonable," Musk said on his Twitter page.
Earlier, CNN obtained a copy of a letter in which SpaceX notified the US Department of Defense that it would stop paying for the operation of the Starlink system in Ukraine and had no plans for providing Kiev with new terminals indefinitely. According to the broadcaster, the message also contained a request to the Pentagon for paying for the supply of additional Starlink terminals to Kiev, as well as for the system’s services provided to the Ukrainian authorities and military. Ongoing service costs would total $124 million for the remainder of 2022, CNN said.

To make things even more tense, Mali authorities accused France of backing the terrorists and even providing them with weapons. In the meantime, the local population expresses sympathy towards Russia, believing that assistance from Moscow can solve the security crisis.

*Daesh (ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State) and al-Qaeda are terrorist organizations banned in Russia and many other countries.

Paris faces a tide of discontent from African nations as over the past years the French troops have proved to be unable to resolve security crisis in Sahel region. Various groups of jihadists, - some of them aligned with Daesh* and al-Qaeda* - continue their attacks in the region.

According to the head of the African Energy Chamber, if Africa continues to be dependent on other countries, it will have a negative affect on the continent's development, which requires new opportunities and technologies to advance.

According to Ayuk, the European energy crisis has shown that Africa needs to build up partnership with Moscow in order to create sustainable resource exchange chains, because the issue of energy security cannot be ignored. Russia has a huge potential and experience in this sphere, and is a world leader in implementing infrastructure projects and investing in energy, the chairman added.

There are many countries that are interested in cooperating with Africa, that raises concerns in Paris, because the continent is considered to be France's "property," Ayuk said, adding that the main concerns are caused by the situation in Burkina Faso, Central African Republic and Mali.

France is concerned with Russia's growing influence in Africa, as Paris considers the continent to be its sphere of influence, the chairman of the African Energy Chamber, NJ Ayuk, told journalists on Saturday.

Budapest has been opposing the EU's sanction policy against Moscow, as Brussels slapped several rounds of restrictions on Russia since the start of the special military op in Ukraine in February. The sanctions exacerbated fuel market issues, resulting in a major energy crisis across Europe, with record-high inflation and skyrocketing cost of living.

In March, Orban said that Hungary would enhance its army capabilities in the next decade as only a powerful national army can ensure the country's security, adding that European nations should not rely only on the United States in defense issues.

"We cannot bury our heads in the sand like ostriches. We have to face reality. If this continues, sanctions will rock Europe, the continent's economy will fall to its knees, people could be in danger, and it seems we need to prepare for a protracted war. We, Hungarians, need a deterrent army, ready to strike, able to guarantee peace, because those who are not ready to act and are not disciplined cannot be successful, those who have no strength will have no truth, and those who have no faith will have nothing to fight for," Orban said at the oath-taking ceremony for voluntary military recruits.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Saturday that his country needs an army capable of acting as a deterrent force and ensuring peace in the event the turbulent economic situation sparks war in Europe.
