The constitution and democracy are the guarantee to reduce hate speech. * Ahmed Souliman In the absence of democracy and the constitution guaranteeing the rights of citizens, individuals and groups, many phenomena are growing in society where injustice is attained by the greatest part of citizens, and laws of centers of power are established from top to bottom, as well as horizontally in society, and in popular expression circulating since ancient times (the strong eats the weak), no doubt This matter, with time and accumulation in its negative results, produces other topics that come in the context of justifying this injustice, repression and inequality in society and according to the existing pluralism in any society. These justifications appear in parallel with it. In the framework of nationa

Libyan war escalates as regional powers attempt to gain stronger influence -By Paul Antonopoulos

Libyan war escalates as regional powers attempt to gain stronger influence by aletho By Paul Antonopoulos | June 1, 2020 Alarms are sounding in Europe as Turkey, Russia and Arab states could potentially agree on shared influence in Libya, and therefore the entirety of the eastern Mediterranean, according to some experts. This comes as European states have no influence over the war in Libya despite it occurring on its southern doorstep and Turkey, Russia and Arab states continue to gain influence. The direct intervention of Turkey in Libya, who has sent its own intelligence officers, military advisers and thousands of Syrian jihadists to support the Muslim Brotherhood Government of National Accords (GNA), based in Tripoli and led by the ethnic Turk Fayez al-Sarraj, has limited further gains by the Libyan National Army (LNA). The mobilization of thousands of Turkish and Syrian jihadists and the massive shipment of weapons to Tripoli has slowed down the offensive of the LNA, led by Field

Algeria wants to become a satellite of Western interests in Africa --By Lucas Leiroz

Algeria wants to become a satellite of Western interests in Africa by aletho By Lucas Leiroz | June 1, 2020 The current geopolitical situation in North Africa and the Sahel can be radically changed and hardened if the new Algerian constitution allows the army to participate in operations outside its national borders. Paris and Washington are already supporting this change. Article 95 of the new Constitution under review will open up the possibility for the "National People's Army" to participate in "efforts to maintain peace at the regional and international level". None of the five previous Algerian constitutions since independence from France in 1962 offered this possibility. As it appears in the constitutional project, the decision of this eventual military participation abroad must be approved by two thirds of the Parliament and it would not depend on the unilateral decision of the president, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. According

Pompeo defends graduate student crackdown as China cries ‘Cold War’ by Joel Gehrke

Pompeo defends graduate student crackdown as China cries ‘Cold War’ by Joel Gehrke  President Trump’s administration is trying to purge graduate students beholden to the Chinese Communist Party from acquiring sensitive research at American universities, according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. "We will not tolerate [China's] attempts to illicitly acquire American technology and intellectual property from our academic institution and research facilities for Chinese military ends,” Pompeo said in the wake of Trump’s decision to revoke some student visas. Pompeo’s announcement is expected to affect as many as 5,000 Chinese nationals in American graduate schools, as the U.S.-China rivalry intensifies and causes a deterioration of ties outside of traditional government channels. The Chinese Foreign Ministry accused the United States of engaging in “stark political persecution and racial discrimination,” but the policy reflects the Trump team’s belief that Chinese spy agencies u

National Democratic Meeting ---- Hoshink Osei

National Democratic Meeting Professor Hoshink Ose's contribution to the "Together in Confronting a Discourse of Hate Among Syrians" initiative launched by the National Democratic Meeting in Syria. On the myth of confronting hate speech * Hoshink Osei Given the age of hate speech in human dealings, one can almost say: Hatred is part of human formation and human instinct! But what is true is that hate is not born with a person, and it soon acquires it from the family, society, school, beliefs, ideologies, the media ... etc., on levels, batches, or doses. Then pass it on to the next generation, and so on. Accordingly; Hatred at all levels and develops the tools of its discourse, acquired and inherited through ages and ages. Although legal and moral references criminalize hate speech and condemn it and enact penalties against everyone who raises hatred between individuals and private groups, regardless of their races, intellectual stripes, religious, national, and sectarian a
