Thorbjørn Jagland lyver. Terje Rød Larsen lyver. Mette-Marit lyver. Mona Juul lyver. Asle Toje lyver. Dette må være utgangspunktet for dekningen av disse sakene.

I know it's hard to shock these days but Elon Musk going full Rhodesia defender and calling for the ethnic cleansing of the US should still shock you. These are neo nazi views that were only previously shared on explicitly neo nazi sites.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Elon Musk. Musk replies "Yes" to a post by "The American Tribune." The American Tribune post reads: "Further, what they've managed to accomplish in South Africa is what they want to inflict on all of us. The anarchotyranny, expropriation, and race communism that destroyed Rhodesia and South Afric..." The text cuts off at the "Show more" link.A screenshot of a post by "The American Tribune" quoting a post by "Humble Flow." The American Tribune text reads: "Further, what they've managed to accomplish in South Africa is what they want to inflict on all of us. The anarchotyranny, expropriation, and race communism that destroyed Rhodesia and South Africa are the same things they are bringing to America and the rest of the Occident to turn us into the Global Favela." The quoted post by Humble Flow includes a vintage photograph of three white soldiers in short shorts and military fatigues holding rifles in a brush environment (evoking the Rhodesian Bush War). The caption reads: "What they once did to Rhodesia, they now attempt to the whole world. Resist."A screenshot of a thread on X involving Elon Musk. At the top, a reposted tweet by "Hugh Anthony" reads: "I will never stop. REMIGRATION TILL I DIE!" Below this, Elon Musk replies "Yes" to a post by user "RAMZPAUL." RAMZPAUL’s post quotes the Hugh Anthony tweet and states: "Demographic replacement is genocide."A screenshot of a post by Elon Musk quoting a post by "Will Tanner." Musk writes: "Unfortunately, this is where America is headed." Will Tanner's post reads: "High civilization existed for a brief flicker of a moment in Rhodesia, a few decades where the primordial darkness of the Stone Age was vanquished. But then it returned, in the name of equality, and Zimbabwe is once again a ruin..." Below the text is a six-panel comparison image titled "THEN" and "NOW." ​Rhodesia: "Then" shows a clean, orderly city street; "Now" shows people behind a locked gate. ​South Africa: "Then" shows a bustling city skyline with traffic; "Now" shows a crowd holding a sign that reads "kill WHITE." ​America: "Then" shows a historic city street scene; "Now" shows a white square with the text "COMING SOON." A watermark at the bottom right reads "NOWHITEGUILT.ORG."

⚠️ Update: It has now been 24 hours since #Iran implemented a nationwide internet shutdown, with connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels. The ongoing digital blackout violates the fundamental rights and liberties of Iranians while masking regime violence ⏱

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from January 5, 2025, to January 9, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity remains lower than normal most of the time period due to protests, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 8. The drop in connectivity aligns with protests across the nation. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption.

We are deeply worried that Laila Soueif, mother of jailed British-Egyptian Alaa Abdel Fattah, is in hospital after almost 150 days of hunger strike. No mother should feel such a desperate act is her only recourse. We call on Egypt to immediately #FreeAlaa, & on the UK to step up diplomatic efforts.

With Syria back in the headlines, the full picture of unfolding events remains unclear. But until it is, let us not forget who Bashar al-Assad truly is. Alongside his father, Hafez, he has forged a dynasty of tyranny that has ruled Syria through fear and violence for decades.

Rania Khalek spent the past 8 years whitewashing the Assad regime, promoting pro-Kremlin conspiracy theories, and denying crimes against humanity But now that the Assad regime is gonna collapse she is pretending to have always been a sober analyst. Disgusting people

Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek * The Endless Lessons of Aleppo: Will It Be Ignored Again? Bashar Lakkis The Syrian tragedy stems from the regime's original sin in 2011: failing to recognize the revolution as a legitimate outcry against decades of societal frustration and developmental failure. Rather than addressing the despair wrought by mismanagement, the regime cloaked its repression in a "policing narrative", framing the uprising as a conspiracy. This deliberate denial of reality plunged Syria into a cycle of unrelenting violence, exacerbating the grievances of a population long battered by failed governance and the absence of a sustainable political solution. Long before the revolution, Syrians endured the collapse of critical sectors such as education, healthcare, and social security. Despite the propaganda romanticizing free public services, privatization policies from the 1990s had already gutted these systems. More devastatingly, the erosion of dignity became an enduring burden for Syrians, leaving one to ask: how did they tolerate such indignities for so long?The regime exploited sectarian fears and militarised the conflict, leveraging the opposition's failures to deepen divisions. Opposition factions offered naive slogans like "no security apparatus or prisons", without presenting a vision for addressing the identity fears of minorities. Meanwhile, extremist rhetoric-such as "Shiites to coffins, Christians to Beirut"-amplified the regime's ability to rally minority support and justify its brutality. Syria spiraled into an all-encompassing war, with massacres committed by all sides, leaving over half a million dead and more than 8 million displaced. Instead of solutions, hysteria took hold: some envisioned apocalyptic battles like Qarqeesea, while others awaited the green banners in the Umayyad Mosque. Syrians were left to wander through an unprecedented spectacle of chaos and despair. Responsibility for this devastation remains evaded. Both sides shift blame, refusing to confront the root cause: the systematic exclusion of political participation over decades, coupled with the deliberate dismantling of channels for organic and constructive political engagement. This vacuum allowed radical ideologies and divisive narratives to dominate since at least 1958. If there is a way forward, it lies in confronting fears, fostering dialogue, and dismantling the mechanisms that keep Syria bleeding. The question remains: Can Syria's entrenched tragedy ever find a resolution? One fears that time has passed, as Aleppo and Damascus continue to offer endless tragic lessons—lessons no one seems willing to learn.

Swaida, a city in southern Syria which is home to the Druze religious minority, are out in the thousands demonstrating their support of the Syrian rebellion against the Assad regime. The sectarian divisions that Assad was successful in fueling amongst Syrians is falling apart.

Not so long ago, my 3-year old started talking about wanting to visit her grandparents in Syria. We had to constantly make up excuses for why we can’t go there. Now for the first time in years I’m starting to think that one day we won’t need to make up excuses.
