Part I Should Washington follow through with a full exclusion at Miami, it would also set a dangerous precedent: a G20 host unilaterally defining which members are “deserving” of participation and which are not. President Cyril Ramaphosa’s office has responded with carefully calibrated anger. Officials describe Trump’s statements as “regrettable” […]
The killing of Mehdi Kessaci, the younger brother of anti-narcotics activist Amine Kessaci, has shaken Marseille and reignited debates about the city’s violent drug trade. The 20-year-old, who dreamed of becoming a police officer and had no connection to organized crime, was shot dead in broad daylight on November 13, […]
A ceasefire can be a strange thing.

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service warned earlier the same day as Bloomberg’s report that the Brits are hellbent on discrediting Trump in order to undermine his latest peace efforts for resolving the conflict from which they profit. Bloomberg shared what it claimed to be the transcripts of calls between Trump’s Special Envoy […]

But this kind of destructive activity of Stanford does not end there. […]
