@ukraine_map Bot accounts having a field day on this app. Driving advertisers away. Less income to split amongst creators.

X is paying creators 3x less now A couple of weeks ago they gave an account +$20,000 for posting a couple ai generated videos. They paid that account 50x more in 2 weeks for the same amount of views than creators I know who worked years to get It doesn’t affect me, but many creators on here, just won’t put in the time to report news or make posts, because money is being transferred elsewhere

@visegrad24 The pattern is clear: allign yourself with the Eastern Bloc and your country will be crippled under civil unrest and jihadist influence.

Today’s massive Al-Qaeda (JNIM) offensive in Mali shows that Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and northern Nigeria are all in danger of falling under total control of jihadist control. However, Sudan is another nearby state which could also become fully controlled by Islamists, and some sense is already very far down that path. This map below shows the states where Islamist have had partial control of the state, been close to taking control of the state through civil war or where they currently control large swaths of territory. The Muslim Brotherhood has had a very strong grip on Sudan for decades, and the islamist fighters they provide for General Al-Burhan and the Sudanese Armed Forces in the civil war only strengthen their hand in that country. Following the Arab Spring, Muslim Brotherhood-controlled parties came to power in Egypt and Tunisia, but were quickly outmanoeuvred by the military and other autocratic forces respectively. As already mentioned, Al-Qaeda or ISIS-aligned forces are on the verge of taking control of large parts of the junta-led states Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso which have created the anti-Western and pro-Russin military pact called “Alliance of Sahel States” (AES). The main Islamist threat there, the Al-Qaeda-aligned JNIM group has maintained its transnational jihadist character, unlike the Islamist forces in control of Afghanistan and Syria. This means that there a large spillover risk, with JNIM likely having ambitions to further invade Guinea, Chad and northern Nigeria if they manage to take power in the AES states. Islamist forces played a key role in the civil wars in Libya and Algeria while they currently hold large swaths of territory in both Somalia and Mozambique. And in the middle of it all is Sudan, from where Muslim Brotherhood-style Islamism can radiate across the region. It’s not a coincidence that Osama bin Laden made Sudan the man base of Al-Qaeda in the 1990s. Today, the Muslim Brotherhood wields significant influence in the country by being deeply embedded in the country’s army (SAF) as well as through its powerful own armed group, the al-Baraa Bin Malik Brigade. Its 20,000 Islamist fighters have been backed by Iranian IRGC training and drones, providing an interesting example of how the Islamic Regime in Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood cooperate globally. Alarmed by the Islamist advance in Sudan, the U.S. designated the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization last month. Meanwhile, the EU has applied only targeted sanctions on select individuals and entities, wary of complicating aid or diplomacy by terror-listing the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood. During the Berlin Conference on Sudan which took place on April 15, the EU managed to lead the way for a 1.5B aid pledge for Sudan (the EU’s share is €812M). During the conference, the EU again made it clear that it doesn’t want to take action against the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan, but instead wants to strengthens Sudan’s democratic movement (the Sumud Alliance) & have the so-called ​“Quintet” play a larger role in pushing the warring factions to accelerate the peace process. The Quintet on Sudan is composed of 5 major international & regional organizations:   - The African Union (AU) - The United Nations (UN) - TheEuropean Union (EU) - The Arab League (LAS) - The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)  IGAD is in turn a regional economic bloc consisting of 8 nations across the Horn of Africa, the Nile Valley and the African Great Lakes:   - Djibouti - Ethiopia - Kenya - Somalia - Sudan - Uganda - Eritrea - South Sudan The EU’s focus on multilateral diplomacy Is important but it doesn’t excuse the unwillingness to terror-list the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood. As its northern neighbor, and affected by mass-immigration from the south, Europe must do more than eradicate the Islamist threat from the northern part of the African continent. ISIS, AQ and the MB must not be allowed to control territory

@nafoviking let's hope the rest of the administration follows 😍

@polidemitolog They should not suspend them for that reason. They should however be able to suspend them for taking the entire union hostage; like Hungary did recently.

I didn't think that this should be said, but, no, the EU should not suspend members just because they're governed by populists. There is a mechanism to suspend privileges because of democratic backsliding and an efficient decision-making process would mitigate all possible harm.

@HorrocksIvan1 @WarMonitor3 I did not see people actually launching boats. But especially on the hiking trails between ‘Puys’ and ‘Dieppe’ (where I was located), there were huge migrant encampments where boating equipment like paddles could be seen.

So the obvious question is: Did you see any people launching small boats from those beaches in an attempt to get to the UK? If yes, then you have a point. If no, then that probably explains why you never saw coast guard patrols (i.e. they were not beaches small boats are launched from.

Despite the British government paying France another 600 million pounds to stop small boat crossing today marked another day of boats crossing the channel and illegal migrants entering through dover.

@BBCWorld Next stop: Moscow.

@NXT4EU About time. Merkel’s cozying up to Russia and Scholz’s downplaying of the Russian threat have left Germany and the eastern flank vulnerable and exposed.

Germany has surpassed the US in ammunition production capacity. Europe is rapidly rearming. 🇪🇺

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA His presence in parliament has always been unnecessary, just mandatory for some reason.

🇭🇺 Orban Relinquishes Parliamentary Mandate The politician said he considers his presence in parliament unnecessary, but he will continue to work on the reorganization of his Fidesz party.

@front_ukrainian Bye-bye dictator 👋

❗️Viktor Orbán – it’s over: he has given up his parliamentary mandate in the Hungarian parliament after 36 years of service. He says his presence in parliament is no longer needed, but he will now focus on reorganizing the Fidesz party.
