Re: Gov. by TritNG: 7:57pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TritNG:The US Embassy in Khartoum issued a ‘demonstration alert’ last week, urging US nationals to expect “widespread” demonstrations across the country, and especially the presidential palace, the road to the airport, and Jackson Square – a local transport hub in the city’s center. |
Re: Gov. by TritNG: 7:59pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TritNG:Protesters gathered including the capital of Khartoum, Port Sudan, Kasala, and other cities and towns, protesting military rule, raging inflation, and skyrocketing food prices and shortages which have hit Sudan and other African nations this year amid the crisis in Ukraine – which has seen Western countries hoard Ukrainian grain and slap restrictions on Russia’s ability to export its foodstuffs abroad. |

This is why I think Twitter isn’t a right place to get a verified news, most tweets are tied to emotion. Imagining celebrating what Russia did thinking it was Ukraine that did it. But at least this one apologize ![]() 1 Like 1 Share

Check Out What Indians Think of Rishi Sunak |
Re: Gov. by TritNG: 8:21pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TritNG:42-year-old former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak was selected to head Britain's governing Conservative Party and formally appointed UK prime minister to lead his country out of the economic turmoil that erupted under his predecessor during her mere 44 days in office. |
Re: Gov. by TritNG: 8:24pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TritNG:Take a look at a handful of recent takes Indians have had on the UK's new PM. Numerous netizens recalled a quote by perhaps Britain's most famous politician, Winston Churchill, who once questioned the ability of "Indians to be good leaders." His remark seems especially strange today, when Churchill's own country now relies on a leader of Indian origin to guide it through an economic crisis that has seen at least two prime ministers resign. |
Re: Gov. by TritNG: 8:25pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TritNG:"In 1947 on the cusp of Indian Independence, Winston Churchill supposedly said '…all Indian leaders will be of low calibre & men of straw.' Today, during the 75th year of our Independence, we’re poised to see a man of Indian origin anointed as PM of the UK. Life is beautiful," Indian billionaire Anand Mahindra tweeted. |
Re: Gov. by TritNG: 8:27pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TritNG:Prominent Indian political figures congratulated Sunak, including Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Gujarat Minister of State Harsh Sanghavi. Officials expressed pride in the first person of Indian origin becoming UK prime minister and hoped it would usher in a "golden age" in British-Indian relations. |
Re: Gov. by TritNG: 8:29pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TritNG:However, not all Indians shared in the optimism of an ethnic South Asian becoming leader of the former colonial empire, stating that people of Indian origin such as Kamala Harris, Sundar Pichai, and others do not usually care about their ancestral homeland. |

Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 8:49pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:It also comes as a surprise to some netizens that Rishi Sunak is not a "slumdog PM" since he has great personal wealth. Sunak has never hid his prosperous upbringing and aristocratic connections. In a 2001 BBC documentary called The Middle Classes: Their Rise and Proliferation, he claimed to have upper-class and aristocratic friends, but no "working class" ones. |

TriittNG:Sunak's wife is the daughter of Indian billionaire Narayana Murthy whose net worth is estimated at around $4.5 billion. Some netizens even started joking that the businessman would be made the "father-in-law of the nation." |

Chinese Scholar: West May Publicly Deny 'Dirty Bomb' Threat, But It is Surely Concerned |
Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 9:05pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:"The Russian side has now issued a warning. Russia's warning is aimed at preventing Ukraine from using a 'dirty bomb'," Zhou Rong, political commentator and researcher at China's Renmin University told Sputnik. "This warning is sincerely aimed at maintaining peace and stability, and not at escalating the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. |
Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 9:06pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:The use of a 'dirty bomb' is absolutely unacceptable. The use of a dirty bomb would mean an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe, an expansion of the scope of war and a change in the nature of war." |
Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 9:10pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:"Today, the US, UK and France say they don't heed Russian warnings that Ukraine might use a dirty bomb," noted Zhou. "I think their behavior is based on political necessity. Whether or not Ukraine uses the bomb, at present Western countries cannot openly accept these threats. However, since there is a risk of a dirty bomb being used, defense chiefs can discuss the matter privately, while publicly the West will still continue to defend Ukraine." |
Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 9:11pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:On February 19, Zelensky floated the idea of Kiev dropping its non-nuclear status under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum while delivering his speech at the Munich security conference. Moscow has repeatedly warned the West that these were no empty threats: Ukraine has the technological expertise and ample radioactive material reserves to build nuclear devices. |
Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 9:12pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:According to Igor Kirillov, Kiev possesses some 1,500 tons' worth of spent nuclear fuel from the country’s three operating nuclear power plants, and 22,000 spent fuel assemblies stored at the defunct Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant’s waste repositories, including Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239 – the primary fissile isotopes used in nuclear weapons. |
Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 9:13pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:According to insiders, the administration of the Eastern Mining and Processing Plant located in the town of Zholtye Vody in Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk region, as well as the Kiev Institute for Nuclear Research, were tasked with making the "dirty bomb." |

Ex-MEP: Sunak's Cabinet Reshuffle Means Nothing for UK's Structural Crisis |
Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 9:42pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:New British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has started to reshuffle No 10 in a bid to form a government of "all the talents" and maintain unity within the largely divided Conservative Party. |
Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 9:44pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:"Since the UK's economic crisis is structural and deep-rooted, the change of PM and a Cabinet reshuffle will change nothing," former MEP Nick Griffin told Sputnik. "The Tories may or may not be right in their belief that the BBC and other liberal-left media outlets will be less harsh on a multi-millionaire Indian Hindu than they would on a privileged white man, but no amount of rearranging the deckchairs can make a difference when you're stuck on the Titanic." |
Re: Gov. by TriittNG: 9:50pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
TriittNG:"The shambles in the Conservative party has succeeded in making the Labour party look the better bet for handling the economy for the first time in about seventy years; this really is a staggering 'achievement'," Griffin pointed out. "Coupled with the Tories' increasingly strident support for mass economic immigration, it means that the Conservatives have thrown away the only two winning cards in their electoral hand. A change in the ruling party now looks to be the inevitable result of the next general election, which is likely to occur sometime in the second half of 2024." Is that the Putin effect? ![]() |
