    A friend in Quneitra cut contact with me 3 years ago. I assumed it was because he was scared of talking to foreigners since he remained under regime control. Turns out it was because he was arrested by the Assad regime, despite going through "reconciliation".

    "Hong Kong today, Taiwan tomorrow"? I spent months in Taipei looking into China's growing assertiveness. I met Nancy, who watched as Hong Kong's protests were crushed, her friends jailed. Trying to save them, she wondered about Taiwan's future. For

    The Taliban just seized control of Taluqan, an important city along the border with Tajikistan. A day after they took Sheberghan and two days after Zaranj. They don't care about the US pathetic statements. They are not afraid and this is a problem.

    If the Taliban claim to want international legitimacy, continued attacks are not going to get them closer to the legitimacy they wish for. They should devote their energy to the , not a military campaign.

    Just tankies uncritically sharing 'news' from an outlet that claims the 9/11 attacks and London bombings were false flags, that always dabbles in vaccine and global warming denialism, is rife with anti-semitism and believes al-Qaida is on the US payroll. Their brains are dead.

    After spending the night on a tirade against an Israeli Rhythmic Gymnast, the editor in chief of RT woke up and decided to keep tweeting about how she regrets not being in the GRU (who have been behind several recent assasinations). This one seems directed at the judges...

    And I guess you're just not meant to ask the logic behind heavily censoring areas but having the map showing the censored areas mapped out in a highly detailed way.

    Seems like it is the Palais de l'Alma (also seen by ) that's censored, one of the national palaces. No idea why it should be so censored, but. Oh well.

    Replying to @Nrg8000
    It has to be the Palais de l'Alma, one of the national palaces. The Palais de l'Élysée is also censored. I had only previously noticed censorship of French military bases.

    Does anyone know, or can anyone guess why in Central Paris, the block with the Cathédrale de la Sainte-Trinité is EXTREMELY censored on Google? Both in the satellite imagery and the photogrammetry.

    It is difficult to document the dead, because it feels like we failed these people. What remains is to persist in demanding answers, holding the guilty accountable, and doing everything that can be done to make sure that Zhumakeldi and others did not die in vain. (5/5)

    Qaliolla Tursyn allegedly died in prison last year. His wife and 2 sons were taken to camp and released in late 2018, but have been unable to leave China and are now missing. Here are their testimonies from the region, despite all risks. (3/5)

    The case of 's family () is one that deserves a lot more attention, given the direness of the situation (father died in detention, mother and two sons detained and now missing), their courage in speaking up from XJ, and Akikat's persistence.

    Zhumakeldi's death also prompted the tragedy of the Qaliolla family, as Zhumakeldi's wife came to Qaliolla Tursyn (), an elderly legal consultant, and pleaded that he write a complaint. Qaliolla wrote to Beijing, and the entire family was detained. (2/5)
