I don't get this, in the Bible God allowed Israel to be conquered (a couple of times) and the people taken to other countries, and through the history of the last 200 years history (or longer) they decided to immigrate to other countries, are they are talking about what time period? A lot of countries kicked them out and sent them back to Israel. What is this about?

King Charles to acknowledge ‘painful’ colonial past on state visit to Kenya

Monarch’s recognition will come as country prepares to celebrate 60 years of independence from Britain

King Charles will acknowledge the “painful aspects” of Britain’s past actions in Kenya during a state visit later this month.

The visit follows an invitation from the country’s president, William Ruto, whose country will celebrate the 60th anniversary of its independence from Britain on 12 December. The two countries have enjoyed a close relationship in recent years despite the violent colonial legacy of an uprising in the early 1950s, which led to a period known as “the emergency”, which ran from 1952 until 1960.

The Mau Mau armed movement was fuelled by the resentment some members of the Kikuyu tribe felt towards their British rulers and European settlers who farmed land in Kenya, as well as at a lack of political representation. White farmers were targeted in violent attacks as were some Kikuyu who were said to have collaborated with the authorities.

The Kenya Human Rights Commission said 90,000 people were executed, tortured or maimed during the British administration’s counterinsurgency operation. The UK government made a historic statement of regret in 2013 over the “torture and other forms of ill-treatment” perpetrated by the colonial administration during the emergency period and paid reparations of £19.9m to about 5,200 people.

Charles and Queen Camilla spend four days in Kenya from 31 October to 3November. It will mark Charles’s first visit to a Commonwealth country as king.

His deputy private secretary, Chris Fitzgerald, said: “The king and queen’s programme will celebrate the close links between the British and Kenyan people in areas such as the creative arts, technology, enterprise, education and innovation.

“The visit will also acknowledge the more painful aspects of the UK and Kenya’s shared history, including the emergency … His Majesty will take time during the visit to deepen his understanding of the wrongs suffered in this period by the people of Kenya.”

The development came after a legal battle between a number of elderly victims and the UK government.

Charles signalled his support in April for research into the British monarchy’s historical links with transatlantic slavery after the emergence of a document showing a predecessor’s stake in a slave-trading company.

The Guardian published a previously unseen document showing the 1689 transfer of £1,000 of shares in the slave-trading Royal African Company to King William III, from Edward Colston, the company’s deputy governor.

Buckingham Palace did not comment on the document but said it supported a research project, co-sponsored by Historic Royal Palaces (HRP), which manages several palaces, into the monarchy’s involvement in the slave trade.

In June 2022, the then prince of Wales expressed his “personal sorrow” about “slavery’s enduring impact” at the opening of the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Kigali, Rwanda.

He said:“To unlock the power of our common future, we must also acknowledge the wrongs which have shaped our past. Many of those wrongs belong to an earlier age with different, and in some ways lesser, values.” (Are you kidding me, what common future? What a weirdo, UK must be paying them billions)

Prince William expressed similar sentiments in March 2022 during an address to Jamaica’s prime minister and other dignitaries that stopped short of the apology activists had demanded.

He said: “Slavery was abhorrent and it never should have happened. I strongly agree with my father, the Prince of Wales, who said in Barbados last year that the appalling atrocity of slavery forever stains our history.”

(These interviews were a big mistake: I think this guy just sabotaged any possible military aid to Ukraine for good, their excuses are pathetic. Their excuses have tired out allies, and their blame game have alienated many. Now Ukraine is jealous that Israel have a more important war for the allies to support.No wonder Zelensky hasn't been back to Kiev for months, it seems they just pointed the finger at him.)

Ukraine’s top spy admits counteroffensive failure

Ukraine’s forces have fallen “out of schedule,” according to Kiev’s Main Intelligence Directorate chief, Kirill Budanov

Ukraine’s counteroffensive is not going according to schedule, admitted Kirill Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, in an interview with the Ukrainskaya Pravda newspaper published on Thursday.

According to the spy chief, theUkrainian Armed Forces are not just behind schedule but have completely “fallen out of it”after several things did not go as “smoothly” as Kiev had hoped. He refused to explain what “falling out of schedule” actually meant, stating that everyone should “draw their own conclusion.”

Previously, Budanov had said in an interview with the same outlet in February that Kiev had every chance to end the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict this year. Now, however, he admitted that the picture has changed. He did not, however, elaborate on the specific reasons, stating that “most of the explanations for this are state secrets.”

Separately, Budanov also told Ukrainskaya Pravda that the continued supply of arms and other aid to the Ukrainian army could potentially be hampered by a protracted conflict in the Middle East, referring to the recent escalation between Israel and Hamas fighters in Gaza.

“If that conflict is limited in time to a few weeks, then, in principle, there is nothing to worry about,” Budanov said. “However, if the situation drags on, it is quite clear that there will be some problems with the fact that it will be necessary to supply weapons and ammunition not only to Ukraine,” the spy chief added, noting that the world is “approaching global war pretty quickly.”

Problems with Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which was launched early this summer and was hailed to become a turning point for Kiev, were previously also admitted by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. Last month, he announced that the operation had slowed down due to Russian air superiority and blamed Kiev’s Western backers for failing to supply Ukraine’s forces with the necessary weapons.

Western military officials have also stated that Russian defenses have proven more resilient than expected. The chief of the UK’s Defense Staff, Tony Radakin, admitted last month that the Russian-Ukraine conflict could drag on for “some time” and that Western expectations about what Kiev’s forces could achieve in the near future should be “adjusted.”

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced last week that the Ukrainian military had lost as many as 90,000 troops since it launched its counteroffensive in June. While failing to achieve any significant progress, Kiev had reportedly also lost nearly 1,900 armored vehicles and some 557 tanks, according to the president.

African nation orders UN official to leave

The organization has sabotaged Niger’s full participation in international gatherings, Nigerien coup leaders have claimed

Niger’s military government has ordered the resident United Nations coordinator in the country, Louise Aubin, to leave Niamey within 72 hours. The expulsion, announced in a statement on Tuesday, is in response to the authorities’ claims that the global organization was interfering in Niger’s diplomatic affairs, in particular by preventing it from attending international gatherings.

The Nigerien foreign ministry accused the UN of using “underhanded maneuvers” at the behest of France to prevent the West African country from fully participating in the meetings of the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly in New York last month.

“This sponsored sabotage continued in Viennaon the occasion of the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] General Conference from September 25 to 29, 2023, in Vienna and at the 4th Extraordinary Congress of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) from October 1 to 5, 2023, in Riyadh (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia),” the ministry stated.

As a result, the government has decided to terminate the mandate of Aubin, the ministry said, arguing that the actions of the UN Secretary-General were intended to harm Niger and its people. The diplomat must “take all necessary measures to leave Niamey” within three days, the statement said.

Tensions between Niger and its foreign partners and regional allies have been high since the new authorities took control in July, following the coup that ousted pro-Western President Mohamed Bazoum. The coup leaders have previously suspended military cooperation agreements with France and expelled the French ambassador. Paris began withdrawing some 1,500 troops from Niger this week at the demand of the military rulers, whose authority the French government has repeatedly challenged.

The US government, which has around 1,000 soldiers stationed in the former French colony, only officially declared the July takeover by Niger’s new military leadership a “coup d’état” on Tuesday.

Washington also announced that it was suspending “most” of its assistance to the African country. Earlier in August, the US halted around $200 million in foreign aid to Niger. The State Department announced on Tuesday that these programs, as well as the Niger Regional Transportation Compact project worth $302 million and other activities, would be suspended until further notice.

(I don't think the Niger leaders care if the US and others stop funding Niger, because the money has always been stolen. They are fighting to reform their country.)
