    Scores of dead Afghan civilians, including children. No space for them in the headline? Their lives don't matter? Too often, the Western media is appalling.

    Lebanon risks countrywide internet outages as Ogero, the state telecom, runs extremely low on diesel supply to run its generators to provide internet. If Ogero goes offline, mobile network operators (Alfa and Touch) will also go down. Check my latest

    Two years have passed since the spiraling crisis became obvious and our MPs still do not understand its roots, nor have a clue on how to tackle it. In Parliament today, I spent about two hours watching a circus of errors from a bunch of clueless incompetent kleptocrats

    By the way, 51 members of Congress and their spouses own up to $5.8 million worth of defense contractor stocks — stocks that see massive returns when we engage in endless, unwinnable wars. Does that seem like a problem to anyone else?

    Twelve years ago, Tahir Luddin helped me escape from captivity after we were kidnapped by the Taliban. Now I am struggling to get his family out of Kabul.

    “Saigon on Steroids.” Our story on desperate efforts by Afghans who had helped the US to get out before they meet Taliban retribution - and on the callous cold shoulder they receive from an indifferent America.

    Met with Taliban Political Deputy Mullah Beradar to welcome the launch of Afghan peace negotiations. The Taliban must seize this opportunity to forge a political settlement & reach a comprehensive & permanent ceasefire to end 40 years of war. This effort must be Afghan led.

    To my recollection this is the 1st time citizens have entered/broken into a member of parliament’s actual home- here in Akkar at Tarek Merhebi’s home. This is going to be the fate of those in charge nationally if they don’t fix the mess they caused.

    My home area Akkar (one of the most deprived in ) has recently suffered from wildfires and today from an explosion that so far killed 20 people. This is no longer slow death by state corruption and incompetence. This is mass killing of a population under siege.
