  1. Military colonel announces that the armed forces are taking control in Madagascar ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar (AP) — A colonel in an elite military unit in Madagascar said Tuesday that the armed forces are taking power in the Indian Ocean nation in what appeared to confirm that President Andry Rajoelina had been removed in a coup. Col. Michael Randrianirina’s announcement in front of a ceremonial presidential palace in the capital, Antananarivo, came almost immediately after parliament voted to impeach Rajoelina, who has fled the country because of the rebellion by soldiers. https://apnews.com/article/madagascar-protests-rajoelina-ab1e1eb1aca45fe7e80e81314ebdb0c6
  2. Yep, the rebuild is going to be a bitch. And eyes will always on you. One question I have is where will these 30K troops going to live? Where is the resupply route? I would choose Rafah or over the shore.
  3. add to that unexploded ordinance. Just as bad as land mines.
  4. Lot of rubble around.
  5. Technically most of the nations are Asian. Exception is Egypt! Man, don't they teach geography at your University? Just messing with you.
  6. Um, Indonesia is Asia according to my map.
  7. Don't tempt me Nicole! You gonna come with? You can work the register. But alas, no lakes.
  8. Yep, surrounded by the IDF on 2 sides.
  9. Also Pakistan and Indonesia. Arab's are pretty good when the want to, but you need to have the right personnel. And yeah, gonna be some cash changing hands. Heard earlier force will be between 30-40 thousand troops. That is a lot of support they will need. We should open up a kebab stand.
  10. Yep, good friend (American) is married to a Palestinian. He is by no way a Trump supporter, but he welcomes this, or really any deal that ended this round of conflict. She is skeptical, mainly since the crap going on in the West Bank, but also welcomes it.
  11. I think it is huge, and no just optics. Hamas will be less open with attacking them, and the cultural differences will be less, increasing communication. Another benefit is the truth of conditions, highly censored, will filter out to the other nations. Speak to an Emirati, the really do not know/follow what Gaza was like before October 7th.
  12. There has never been a large reconstruction effort or a peacekeeping force deployed to Gaza.
  13. The deployment of Arab peacekeepers is a big step. That is what the meeting in Egypt today is about.
  14. It will get worse @Brian Fantana. This is when old problems come to the surface. No where have I read they were collaborators. It is a separate tribe.
  15. Hahaha, I applied to be a researcher for the Bosnia tribunals. There are multiple parts. 1 is the legal team, the other is in the field doing the hard research and forensics work. That is what I wanted.
  16. Handover of Israeli hostages set to begin in Gaza, as Hamas releases names of those being freed https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cx2r2z0gyp7t
  17. From the comments “Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” – Diary of Anne Frank, January 13, 1943
  18. The alternative. Being a Yankees fan? Yeah, fuck that.
  19. New Confederate Army. Sponsored by waffle house.
  20. And the social foundation Latin America. BTW, his "castle" in Santo Domingo reminds you how damn short people were.
  21. Yep. Just look at Mozambique right now. Total got the rights for the offshore natural gas and has done fuck all.
  22. I have a good friend who was building roads going south. Said it was the hardest place he ever worked. And homie has been around. Mainly it was for the mining companies, but they were horrible to the communities.
  23. This is a fear I have had. There will be an internal civil war in Gaza. Going to be rough for the Peacekeepers. 'They were running from their own people': At least 27 killed in violent clashes in Gaza City At least 27 people have been killed in clashes between Hamas and a Gaza City clan since the end of major Israeli operations in the territory At least 27 people have been killed in fierce clashes between Hamas security forces and armed members of the Dughmush family in Gaza City, in one of the most violent internal confrontations since the end of major Israeli operations in the enclave. Masked gunmen from Hamas exchanged fire with militants near the Jordanian hospital in southern Gaza City. Witnesses said that, according to a senior official in the Hamas-run Interior Ministry, security units surrounded an armed militia inside the city and engaged in heavy fighting to detain its members. The ministry said eight members of the security forces were killed in what it described as “an armed assault by a militia”. Local medical sources said that 19 members of the Dughmush clan were killed, along with eight Hamas fighters, since the fighting began Saturday. Eyewitnesses said the clashes erupted in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood after a Hamas force of more than 300 fighters moved to storm a residential block where Dughmush gunmen were entrenched. Residents described scenes of panic as dozens of families fled their homes under heavy gunfire, many of them displaced multiple times during the war. "This time people weren’t fleeing Israeli attacks," one resident said. "They were running from their own people." https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cder1pg17yrt
