-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Bombshell Footage: Biden DHS Freed over 150K Border Crossers into U.S. without Court Dates in Summer 2021
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released more than 150,000 border crossers and illegal aliens, without a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court, into the United States in the summer of 2021, bombshell footage reveals.

As part of a lawsuit against Biden’s expansive Catch and Release network, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody obtained internal DHS footage revealing the extent to which the agency released hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior without court dates.

In particular, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official can be heard telling agents that more than 150,000 border crossers and illegal aliens were released into the U.S. interior without NTAs in the summer of 2021. Biden’s DHS started the practice in March 2021.

“You know over the summer, we had well over 150,000 folks come in,” the ICE official states. “They were issued a piece of paper that said, ‘Find somebody in ICE,’ and that was pretty much it. There was no processing. I know this isn’t something that you guys asked for, and I can assure you that no one in the criminal alien program asked for it either.”

Moody suggested in a statement that the Biden administration is proactively releasing border crossers and illegal aliens into American towns and cities with no intention of deporting them even if they are found to not have valid asylum claims.

“… this has been this administration’s plan all along,” Moody said.

The latest estimates show that from February 2021 to October 2022, Biden’s DHS has released at least 1.4 million border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior. Many of those released last year were given only Notices to Report (NTRs), which asked arrivals to check in with ICE wherever they resettled.

Taliban district governor accused of ‘murdering’ two women in Samangan
[AMUtv] Two women were killed in Samangan province in the north of Afghanistan allegedly on the orders of Mullah Shamshad, Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
’s district governor for Roi Do Ab district in the province, sources said.

Some residents of the district told Amu that Taliban members loyal to Shamshad had "raped" a woman named Anisa and when she lodged a complaint with the provincial district governor’s office, she was "beheaded" by her brother, who is a Taliban member.

"The woman lodged a complaint to the government. She got pregnant before marriage. After returning home from the district governor’s compound, her brother, who is a Taliban member, killed her with a knife," said a resident.

Another resident said that the woman was arrested after she lodged the complaint. She was then released on the grounds of her being pregnant. She was told to appear in court after her baby was born, said the resident.

"Mullah Shamshad’s forces had raped the woman. Shamshad then imprisoned the woman. Then she was released...," the resident explained.

Local sources said the killing happened on Dec. 14, 2022.

Another woman who was also allegedly killed by Taliban members close to Shamshad was Amina, a midwife in the district.

A tribal elder in Roi Do Aab district in Samangan said Amina had been accused of having an affair with one of Shamshad’s forces who used to go to the health center in Qala-e-Surkh village where he harassed the women.

He said that residents of the village complained about the Taliban member’s behavior, which led to Shamshad allegedly ordering the killing of Amina.

"Taliban (members) used to go to the health centers and harass women. People complained about this. Mawlawi Shamshad asked the doctor (midwife) about the matter and she responded yes, the people are harassed. The district governor slapped the doctor (midwife) and told her that she is defaming the mujahideen. The midwife was killed the same night," said the tribal elder.

Sources in Samangan said that after complaints, Shamshad went to one of his close aides known as Khairuddin who was the midwife’s neighbor and asked him to get Amina out of her house.

"They told the woman to leave her house. Then she was rubbed out. Shamshad warned the people they would also be killed if they spoke out about the incident," the source said.

Another resident of Sorkh Qala village said Amina was killed after her photo with a Taliban commander was posted on social media.

"Amina was working in the vaccination department of the Sorkh Qala clinic. I don’t know what the issue was. Their photo was leaked. The Islamic Emirate (Taliban) held them responsible and then she was killed one evening. The neighbors heard five or six gunshots that evening. Her family told us that she died of a cardiac problem," said the source.

Local residents said the incident happened on Dec. 13.

Samangan residents say Shamshad was behind the killings of the two women. They also said that Qari Anis and Bismillah, two of Shamshad’s bodyguards, as well as Amina’s brother, Samadullah, were involved in the killing of the two women.

They added that the Taliban in Samangan are trying to keep the two murder cases out of court.

Photos received by Amu show a Taliban member in a military uniform with two women.

Sources said the man is Qari Anis, Shamshad’s guard.

Eight residents of the area, including a tribal elder in Roi Do Aab district, who all want to remain anonymous, confirmed that the two murders had been conducted by the Taliban members.

Shamshad did not respond to Amu’s calls.

Mawlawi Muneeb, Taliban’s director of information and culture in Samangan, rejected the allegations and said the photos — seen by Amu — had been photoshopped.

"I have followed the matter closely, and it is not true. I will continue to follow it," said Muneeb.

This comes after the Taliban’s supreme leader announced last month that capital punishment and other punishments in accordance with Sharia must be implemented against people convicted of crimes.

So far, the group has flogged at least 210 men and women in public after they were found guilty in Taliban courts of various crimes across the country in only a month.

Daily Evacuation Brief December 29, 2022
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
  • EXPLOSION IN TAKHAR INJURES 5 – A blast was reported on Wednesday in Taloqan City and was initially said to be a roadside bomb. However, multiple local sources have now stated it was due to a gas cylinder that had exploded near a bakery. The 5 casualties have all been sent to the hospital for treatment. Taliban officials continue to claim the blast was caused by a mine but most have dismissed their claims as nonsense.

  • FORMER PRESIDENT KARZAI CALLS FOR ‘GRAND DIALOGUE’ – He commented in an interview with the Washington Post and said a national discussion was the only way for the country to make its way out of the current predicament. He said he has been speaking with a senior Taliban official and that some plans have been made for an inclusive discussion, but they have not worked through all the details as of yet. Ultimately, the goal seems to be forming an inclusive government and drafting a new constitution. While most agree his proposal is likely the only solution, the Taliban’s ‘old guard’ has adopted an entrenched stance and does not seem willing to budge or share power.

  • SNOW AND RAIN EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN AFGHANISTAN – The Meteorological Department warns that there is the possibility of snow and heavy rains in the provinces of Herat, Farah, Ghor, Badghis, Daikundi, Bamiyan, Maidan Wardak, Uruzgan, Helmand, Kandahar, Zabul, Ghazni and Paktika in the next 24 hours. Transportation and power distribution networks could experience disruptions.

  • 27 NEW DISTRICTS FORMED BY INTERIOR MINISTRY – The Ministry said that the people of Afghanistan had called for the formation of the new districts and the Supreme Leader had approved the plan. Observers say it is a move to reward Taliban loyalists by giving them leadership positions in the new Districts and will place additional strain on the country’s abysmal economic situation. A source in the Ministry of the Interior claimed the new Districts have been formed mainly along ethnic lines and seemed to favor Pashtun enclaves in Provinces where other ethnic groups have large populations.

  • UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR TEARS UP HIS DIPLOMA ON TV IN PROTEST — Professor Ismail Mashal was being interviewed by TOLO News when he tore his diploma up on TV and delivered a scathing rebuke to the Taliban’s policies. It is not clear if he has been detained by the Taliban for his actions at this point.

  • INDIAN-MADE COUGH SYRUP REPORTEDLY KILLS 18 CHILDREN IN UZBEKISTAN, MAY HAVE BEEN RE-EXPORTED TO BALKH PROVINCE – 18 children have reportedly died after taking an Indian-made cough syrup. The cough syrup is called Doc-1 Max and is manufactured by Marion Biotech Pvt Ltd. India launched an inspection of several drug factories after learning of the cases. Healthcare officials in Balkh Province are attempting to find out if the medicine had been brought across the border.

  • NRF APPOINTS NEW COMMANDER IN ANDARAB – Ramzan Aziz “Andrabi” has been named the new Commander of the Andarab sector after the death of the former Commander, Khair Mohammad “Khairkhah”.


CONFLICT TRACKER
Kapisa: Unidentified gunmen shot and killed the driver for the Taliban’s chief prosecutor in the village of Rig-e-Rawan (Kohistan) His wife was injured in the attack. No group has claimed credit.
Kapisa: 1 Talib fighter was killed and 1 is injured after masked gunmen fired on them near the Murad Khaja bridge in Kohistan. A local Taliban official dismissed the incident, saying that one of the men had relations with the NRF. No group has claimed credit.

NEXT 24 HOURS
SUPREME LEADER TO CONFER WITH RELIGIOUS ADVISORS — Recent reporting indicated a letter signed by approximately 40 senior Taliban leaders was given to the Supreme Leader with a recommendation that he reverse the harmful gender policies recently implemented. While sources say the Supreme Leader initially scoffed at the letter, he is said to be calling in several of his closest advisors to take a second look. The informal ‘council’ is expected to last for a few days and will involve a conference call with an unknown foreign religious leader who is known to Akhundzada.

Explosion Rocks Takhar Province, Leaving Many Wounded
[KhaamaPress] Local officials reported a kaboom took place in Northern Takhar province earlier today, causing the injury of four people.

The explosion erupted early in the morning on Wednesday in "Taliqan" the placid provincial capital of Northern Takhar province.

Abdul Mubin Safi, the security commander of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in Takhar province confirmed the earth-shattering kaboom and stated that a bomb was placed under a local administrative staff’s desk.

Safi said that four people have been severely injured, however, unconfirmed sources reported high causalities left behind from today’s bombing. So far no group has claimed the responsibility for the terror attack.

This happens as the security headquarters of Afghanistan’s de facto authorities came under attack two days ago in Badakhshan province, as a result of which the IEA top security commander for that province was killed. ISIS took the responsibility for the attack on the security headquarters of the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
.

With the return of the Taliban to power last year, the optimism for bringing sustainable peace in Afghanistan was quite high. Many believed that since the Taliban had taken control of the power, there was no significant krazed killer group to fight or cause terror and chaos among the general public.

However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
with each passing day, a lot is changing in the context of Afghanistan. The security situation has tanked over the last couple of weeks, with more terror attacks taking place in different parts of the country. The long-lasting peace people were dreaming of after the withdrawal of the American-led alliance turned into a nightmare.

Local civilians keep losing their near and dear ones in suicide kabooms and bombings. The never-ending war and political turmoil in Afghanistan have taken everything away from the people leaving them in complete desperation and chaos.

Tunisian prosecutors move to try 13 judges on 'terror' charges
[An Nahar] Tunisian prosecutors asked the top judicial body to strip 13 judges of immunity so they can be tried on terror charges, their lawyer said Wednesday, describing the case as "purely political".

The move comes nearly seven months after President Kais Saied sacked 57 judges, accusing them of corruption and blocking enquiries into two left-wing political figures in 2013, among other purported transgressions.

Defence lawyer Ayachi Hammami said the 13 were among 49 judges reinstated in August.

But the justice ministry has been investigating his 13 clients for "terrorist crimes mentioned in security reports," he added.

"This case is purely political," Hammami said.

The accused judges are to appear before the Supreme Judicial Council (CSM) on January 24, he told AFP.

Saied staged a dramatic power grab in July 2021, sacking the government, suspending parliament and rocking the foundations of the only democracy to have emerged from the Arab Spring uprisings.

In February he dissolved a previous top judicial body, replacing it with the CSM whose members the president picks -- and can sack without appeal.

In June he issued a decree tightening his control over the CSM, a day before he suspended the 57 judges.

Rights groups Human Rights Watch and Amnesia Amnesty International had slammed the suspensions as "a direct attack on the rule of law", and Tunisian lawyers went on strike for a month in response.

UN accuses M23 rebel group accused of torture, rape and abduction in DRC
[Garowe] A new United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
Panel of Experts’ report has accused the M23 rebel group of abductions, torture, and rape of women in northern Kivu -Democratic Republic of the Congo
...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material...
The 21-page document — based on interviews with more than 230 sources and visits to the Rutshuru area of Congo's North Kivu province, where the M23 has seized territory — is expected to be published before the end of this week.

Arabia
Bomb attack in Abyan kills three UAE-backed mercenaries
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] At least three militia members of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) were killed and four others maimed on Tuesday in a double attack in Abyan
...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues...
province, southern Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
Informed sources in the province reported that al-Qaeda members targeted two vehicles of the so-called "Third Support Brigade" and the "Emergency Forces" of the STC with two bombs in "al-Khayala" valley in al-Mahfad area, as a result of which 3 were killed and 4 maimed.

This comes after two people were killed on Monday when a STC military vehicle was targeted in al-Mahfad area.

The terrorist elements resorted to using bombs to target the STC militia in Abyan, after announcing the operation of the so-called "East Arrows", in early September, and its control of the Islah Party camps in most areas of the province.

Volgograd citizen convicted of financing a terrorist organization
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Maxim Mitin, a resident of Volgograd, found guilty of financing the terrorist organization Hayat Tahri Ash-Sham, was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison.

The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don has sentenced a Volgograd resident found guilty of aiding and abetting terrorism.

According to the regional department of the Federal Security Service of Russia, 27-year-old Maxim Mitin financed the activities of the terrorist organization Hayat Tahrir Ash-Sham. In July 2022, a criminal case was initiated against him under part 1.1 of article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia, writes v102.ru.

The court found Mitin guilty of the crime and sentenced him to eight and a half years in prison. He will spend two years in prison, the rest of the term in a strict regime colony, Volgogradskaya Pravda writes.

It should be noted that a prison is an institution where prisoners are kept in cell-type rooms almost constantly, leaving from there only for a walk in a small courtyard. In strict regime colonies, convicts live mainly in dormitories, go to work or to the canteen, according to the website of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on November 23, the Southern District Military Court convicted Jasur Ismatov, a resident of Astrakhan, for trying to become a member of a terrorist organization and sentenced him to five years in prison.
