Imran Khan acquiesced to hold early elections. If it looks like he''s gonna win they're probably going for broke.

Other way around. He dissolved parliament and declared early elections to stall the opposition from doing a vote of no confidence, in an attempt to gain a new majority.

Pakistan Supreme Court rejected that and the vote of no confidence just passed.

Edit: while the US govt is going to be happy to see him go I think the ousting was largely generated from domestic political and establishment opposition. Apparently his governing style stepped on a lot of toes and habitually pissed off every group in the country. Trying to realign towards Russia was the last straw for the Army.

The guy was elected with the army's help and then immediately started pissing them off by loving around with their foreign patronage, real smart.

Turkey shelled Kobani, it seems to send a message.

https://twitter.com/abdullahawez/status/1517545683875770377?s=20&t=5WJLnpxwl0X68ZcwpJbMDA

Iraqi officials publicly protested the Turkish operations in northern Iraq but at the same time their forces are pushing against the PKK/PYD organized Yazidi militias in Iraq. I don't know if it's coordinated or just opportunistic.

quote:

At one point a vocal message appeared on WhatsApp, it was Robin, a guy who I casually met in Botswana near a gas station hiding from the rain. He's also cycling, but in South direction. In the message he told me: "I send you the contact of a person who crossed the Ethiopia-Sudan border a few weeks ago".

I couldn't believe his words. I immediately wrote to this person asking for confirmation, if the border had really been reopened and his answer was "yes, the border is now open. My friend and I have just completed the "Cape to Cairo" by truck and we were the first tourists to cross the Ethiopia - Sudan border from its closure in 2020".

In these words I found the hope that I had completely lost, to complete the cycling path through the African continent.

I immediately refunded the ticket to Sudan and yesterday I left Kampala, after saying goodbye with sadness to the wonderful family that hosted me during the past week.

Today I reached the border with Kenya and in few days I'll enter Ethiopia, a country that I keep studying in every detail to avoid as much as possible areas with conflicts between tribes of different ethnic groups that shoot each other.

Good to hear the border is open again, but this ethnographic analysis of Ethiopia might be a bit ambitious

Denmark is actively sending Afghans back now despite having no return agreement with the Taliban, meanwhile exempting Ukrainians from literal robbery on arrival, psychological torture, far-below-subsistence benefits, work permit requirements, and whatever other bullshit they implemented to discourage asylum seekers. Politicians spent half a decade making GBS threads on Syrians.
