🇺🇸 - End of an era.
Forwarded from Constantine's Notebook
🇧🇦🇮🇱 - The President of the Republica Srpska, Milorad Dodik, who was in Israel to take part in the conference against antisemitism, was asked to leave the conference as soon as the organizers were informed that the warrant had been issued.
🇸🇩🇸🇦 - Relations between Sudan and Saudi Arabia are clearly visible and continue to strengthen following the liberation of Sudan's capital, Khartoum, by the SAF against the UAE-backed RSF. This development must be seen in the context of the rivalry between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with Saudi Arabia winning one victory after another, while the UAE's foreign adventures are collapsing one after the other (Syria, Sudan...). Saudi Arabia seems to have already established excellent relations with the legitimate Sudanese authorities, and is set to participate in the country's reconstruction. When Assad was overthrown, Saudi officials and diplomats were among the first (if not the first) to visit al-Sharra in Damascus, and the process is clearly repeated here.

🇮🇪 ‘We’re being taken for fools’: How soaring migration came back to bite Ireland’s political elite.
With finite housing and overstretched public services, the government’s ‘cack-handed’ border policies have triggered a wave of public anger - The Telegraph (UK)
...
"Yet as Ireland’s leaders scramble to regain control of the political narrative at home, a new one is being written abroad – often without them. Musk’s reposts carry Irish grievances far beyond the island’s borders. They’ve become ammunition in a broader clash playing out across the western world: over sovereignty, identity and elite complacency.
Last year, the Irish government proposed a sweeping hate speech bill – one that could, conceivably, have criminalised some of the posts shared by Musk, many of which cast Europe’s multicultural experiment in an unflattering light. Though the legislation was eventually shelved, many Irish politicians – like their British counterparts – seem convinced that racial harmony depends on narrowing the legal boundaries of acceptable speech.
Musk takes the opposite view: let people speak freely, and let the chips fall where they may.
For years, many Irish were hesitant to voice concerns about immigration. The country’s own emigrant legacy – generations who crossed the seas in search of a better life – made people reluctant to deny others the same chance. But the mood is shifting. To a growing number, the slogan “Ireland is full” no longer sounds xenophobic, but simply factual – a reflection of finite housing and overstretched public services.
Back in Dublin, Gavin Pepper keeps driving his taxi, and keeps speaking his mind. Some Dubliners recognise him and honk their horns. Many believe he is saying what others won’t. “Ireland belongs to the Irish,” Pepper insists. “Sinn Féin says Palestine belongs to the Palestinians – but we’re told Ireland belongs to everyone?” It’s the kind of message that now finds a warm reception in Washington. The question is: how far will it travel at home?"
