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.

one of the nigerians in our integration program had an appointment at the immigration office for 0930, but didnt get seen until 1pm because she had to wait in line behind several dozen ukrainians who didnt have appointments

of course this is nothing against the ukrainians but seeing the disparity so blatantly in front of my eyes is extremely frustrating. and of course african refugees see it too

A New York Times contributor is eulogizing the Pakistani suicide bomber who killed Chinese language instructors with the replies turned off.

https://twitter.com/TahaSSiddiqui/status/1519389673390579715?s=20&t=fe0Qvp0wWtVZe3CAHchLOQ

It's a long thread.

e: alright so apparently he's contributed to a bunch of other major Western publications, I guess everyone's just focusing on NYT because that's de rigeur

The "Middle East" is in Asia. It's about as real as "Europe."

This is actually the West Asia and Africa thread

The Eurasia thread is actually the "Europe," East Asia, and South Asia thread

I guess people associate the term Middle East with violence because whenever conflict happens at a region that could go to either thread, it tends to get posted here

The problem is that there's too much overlap between threads, just like in real life. Especially since one way or another there's always American involvement in these stories.

nah it was successful but forced a ceasefire before they had to invade the tigray heartland

still fascinated by tigray's gamble on the capital. they had the material and the officers but I guess not the manpower
