    1115 kinderen zijn als direct gevolg van toeslagenaffaire uit huis geplaatst. Ik ben er stil van. Heb tranen in m’n ogen. Wat een leed. Dit gaat generaties doorwerken. Mijn hemel.

    1100 kinderen uit huis geplaatst! Dat is toch ongehoord leed. Sluit al die ambtenaren en politici twee weken op in een grote hal totdat ze pasklare oplossingen hebben. (Ja dat klinkt simpel en populistisch maar hier werkt niets anders meer)

    1.115 kinderen van gedupeerden vd toeslagenaffaire uit huis geplaatst. In 5 jaar. En de politiek verantwoordelijken zitten gewoon een nieuw kabinet te formeren. Wat een droeve schande.

    The discrepancy between how the Syrian PKK branch is described by many Western media and what they are actually doing against fellow Syrian Kurds is so huge that it led me to dig to the bottom of this. In Afrin too.

    will deal with them from now on in a violent and even bloodier manner. They told the families that the Syrian Revolutionary Youth, affiliated with the PKK party (Joanne Shurshakar), is ready and will take revenge on them and burn their homes and

    Totaal aantal uithuisplaatsingen van kinderen onder gedupeerden van de toeslagenaffaire: 1.115 (van 2015 t/m 2020). Duizendenhonderdenvijftien kinderen die niet bij hun ouders opgroie(d)en. Wat een onnoemelijke menselijke schade.

    1115 uithuisplaatsingen gerelateerd aan toeslagenschandaal.

    The name of God in the Quran is Aḷḷāh, that much is clear. We also know that the Quran explicitly equates its God with the God the Christians and Jews follow. Today Arabic Christian and Jews alike will indeed call their God that. But where does this name come from? 🧵

    Refugee returns? The last refugees to arrive from regime area to the opposition-held area of ​​NW Syria are from Deraa, in al-Bab and also in Afrin etc. There are no houses. The lack of housing for all these refugees who h come to this small area over the years is a huge problem.

    The UN refugee agency chief met with Assad’s regime to discuss refugee returns. He said they discussed ways “to cooperate in removing obstacles to the return of refugees.” Syria is not safe because of the ongoing crimes against humanity committed by the regime he just met. 1/2

    For the past 3.5 weeks I have been running in Istanbul, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Istanbul, Gaziantep (Functional & Zumba in Afrin) and again this morning in Gaziantep 24C. Today is the very last day of summer...😭

    When in 4 gods, arba3 iil = Erbil, I have to do the amazing running track in the Sami Abder Rahman Park in 36C (Saturday noon). This time I could expand my normal 1 hour to 1 hour 45 minutes incl exercises 15 minutes. Running in the heat gives me lots of extra energy 😍

    Vowels as you go. I didn't even realise one would do it differently. I taught and still teach (a few students only) Arabic colloquials both ways.

    People who write vocalized , , or frequently, do you write the whole word before adding the vowels or do you write the vowels as you go?

    I don't smoke at all. And I apologize for the behavior of my fellow Westerners.
