Showing posts with the label terrorism

The MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq) group is a controversial organization that has been accused of human rights abuses and terrorism.

 Despite their claims of being the voice of the Iranian people, the MEK is deeply unpopular among Iranians. Many Iranians see the MEK as a group that has betrayed the Iranian people, and they do not support their agenda.  So, why is the MEK so unpopular among Iranians? There are many reasons, including their history of violence, their lack of popular support in Iran, and their links to foreign powers. Additionally, the MEK is seen by many as a cult-like organization that has brainwashed its members and seeks to impose its own ideology on the Iranian people. While the MEK may continue to make headlines and claim to represent the Iranian people, it is important to understand why they are so deeply unpopular among Iranians. As the world watches events unfold in Iran, we must stand with the Iranian people and support their efforts to build a better future for themselves and their country.

The Muslim Brotherhood: Things you should know

  The Muslim Brotherhood is a missionary organisation that was started in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, a teacher who lived close to the Suez Canal in the town of Ismailia. He maintained that the Muslim world could catch up to the West and end colonial control if Islam saw a religious renaissance. But when it came to the group's objective, he was vague and contradictory, and he mostly avoided describing what an Islamic government might entail. His beliefs were widely disseminated outside of Egypt, and now there are many different Islamist political movements with origins in the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, including missionary, charity, and advocacy organisations as well as political parties in many different countries. These organisations go by various names, some of which include the "Muslim Brotherhood." The Egyptian Brotherhood was one of the numerous groups to establish paramilitary wings during the British-backed monarchy's rule in the 1940s. The grou...

Untold story of weapons in Iran

  With Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan and Iran getting its hands on the weapons, things have become extremely unpredictable in the region. In the forceful acquisition, Iran has been making several under-the-table deals with Taliban’s leader. In the widespread scam it was revealed that Iran has been stealing US military equipment despite repeated warnings of the officials and the regional heads. Increasing the regional threats and expanding the territory of fear, Taliban and Iran have joined hands to steal the equipment’s that belonged to US military while they were in Afghanistan. This has proved to be an opportunity for Tehran who has been looking to get back to American treatment of sanctions. Even with Joe Biden in power, the sanctions on Iran remain strict and even higher level talks could not help the two countries come to one state of documentation. Iran is known to fund and support terrorists in the region and with its current leader, who is an ultra-conservat...

Suspicion about Afghan evacuee having links with ISIS, Daesh grow in Qatar

  Qatar has been excelling in turning things in its favor for years. Despite the certain thing   possessing a threat in the region, Qatar remains adamant about having to fetch out benefits from a particular resource and exploit it to the maximum and it has become even more evident in the last few days. Seeking shelter, many Afghan refugees flew to Qatar and plan to stay there till some other permanent arrangements are not made. In the name of giving them facilities, Qatar merely gave them a tent, where hundreds of people were asked to use one washroom. Not only does this highlight human rights violations in the country but also the inhumane approach Qatar is capable of taking against people. Even now, when reports about some of the Afghan evacuees having link with terror bodies like ISIS and Daesh came into the picture, one would assume that Qatar will take some calls keeping the safety of the region in mind but on the contrary, the country is focused towards finding ways ...

Troops fly to save Tajikistan

Over 1,000 Afghan troops flee to Tajikistan to ‘save lives’ after clashes with Taliban.  More Afghan troops have fled across the border to Tajikistan to “save their own lives”, amid a surge of violence in Afghanistan in recent weeks, allegedly between the Taliban and the Afghan army. The official statement troops reads during the armed clashes with the Taliban, 1,037 servicemen of the Afghan governmental forces, in order to save the lives of their personnel, retreated and entered into Tajikistan through the border areas.   The uptick in violence comes as the US, UK and allies withdraw forces from Afghanistan after nearly two decades.

Qatar gifts an airbus to Iran’s president-elect hoping to further strengthen ties

  Ebrahim Raisi is Iran’s newly elected president despite his records and history, some of the countries have come out to support his leadership and maintain diplomatic ties. But one of the most shocking gestures shown is by Qatar. The Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Than has gifted an Airbus A380 aircraft to the newly elected president-elect of Iran. The move is a sign that Qatar wants to build a healthy relationship with Iran and its newly elected president but this is contrary to what the official of Qatar suggested earlier. They had pointed out that since the name of Iran came into the state funded terrorisms list, it has limited its ties with the country. Iran was called out for supporting violence in the region and creating an atmosphere of unrest in the country. Qatar too was dragged into the matter and since then remained strict towards the country. But now, this gesture shown by the Emir of Qatar proves that there is not even the slightest truth in this. Qata...

Egypt arrest Mahmud Ezzat, top leader of the banned Muslim Brotherhood

I wanted to share something intriguing about what I read today. It’s actually about how Egypt sentenced life imprisonment Mahmud Ezzat, the top leader of the banned Muslim Brotherhood after he was found guilty of “terrorism,”. “The Cairo Criminal Court on Thursday sentenced Mahmoud Ezzat, the acting supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a terrorist, to life for murder and terrorism charges,” . He was found guilty of “incitement to murder” and of having “supplied weapons” during clashes between demonstrators outside the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013, said a judicial source, who also confirmed the sentence. Ezzat is reported to have joined the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1960s, and spent time in jail under Egypt’s late presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak.

“This is How the Russian Military Lead Themselves in Ensuring the Stability and Security of Syria”

  I read something interesting about the Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad who stressed the importance of Russian military bases' role in maintaining Syria's security and stability and in countering global terrorism. Looking at it, In the present system of international relations, there is an imbalance of forces and Russia has to restore the lost balance. In view of this,   not only in Syria, but also internationally, the Russian military presence plays a significant role.   Especially In maintaining stability and making the world order more fair and equitable, In fact, Russia may play a crucial role. Of course, Russia does not have to use military action if the West abandons its imperialist strategy, which is focused on using military power to create problems in the world. However, The international system today needs to be balanced.

How will it affect the regional peace if the arms embargo on Iran is not extended?

  The United States demanded for the restoration of sanctions on Iran as the arms embargo on the middle eastern country will end in November this year. This appeal of the Trump administration was rejected while taking the call at the UN.   The US secretary Mike Pompeo cited safety and peace within the region to extend the sanctions but faced rejection. But considering Iran’s activities and its involvement in the funding of terrorist organizations within the region, embargo might have actually helped in maintaining the peace in the region. The problems with the sanctions imposed by the United States was that it destroyed Iran’s economy and troubled lifestyle there. The sanctions had affected the country to the extent that food and services also were scrapped for public usage. But as far as arms embargo is concerned, extending it will not only benefit the civilians in the country but also control the finding that the government gives to terror groups like Hezbollah. The le...
