La ONU declara su conmoción por la cantidad de niños palestinos asesinados por las fuerzas israelíes y advierte al régimen de Tel Aviv de estar incluido en su lista negra.
El secretario general de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), Antonio Guterres, anunció en el informe anual del organismo sobre “los niños y los conflictos armados”, publicado el lunes, que las tropas israelíes asesinaron a 78 niños palestinos, mutilaron a otros 982 y detuvieron a 637 durante el año 2021.
“Si la situación se repite en 2022, sin una mejora significativa, Israel debería estar en la lista”, advirtió Guterres en el informe, refiriéndose a la llamada “lista de la vergüenza” de la ONU, también conocida como “lista negra”, que incluye organizaciones y países que violan los derechos de los niños en zonas de conflicto de todo el mundo.
Saharawi boys and girls look forward to arriving in Spain as well as other European countries.
After the blockage by the current Spanish government’s political change of policy, (supporting the US and Israeli recognition of illegal Moroccan occupation) the program was finally authorized and published in the Official Govt Bulletin on July 1, with a substantial delay of at least 20 days, compared to previous years.
Finally the arrival of Saharawi children in our community was approved, as well as in the rest of the Spanish territory.
Saharawi families in the refugee camps are closely and with uncertainty following the delay in the arrival of their children, and are already counting the days, wishing it to be the sooner the better.
The Polisario Front, as the government of the Saharawi people, works together with the associative movement, and is responsible for hiring the flights that will bring the small ‘Saharawi ambassadors’, as well as preparing the collective passports that are sent from Algiers to the Spanish consulate.
They have also stated in a circular sent to the delegations of each community that the program will be developed, although they regret that it could not have been before, due to various bureaucratic problems.
We must not forget that the program began, after a 2-year hiatus, last February, without knowing yet how the Covid would evolve.
Later, the Spanish foreign policy turnaround was added, which has damaged relations with Algeria.
This has caused, for the Polisario Front and the Saharawi population, that has suffered refuge and violent occupation since 1975, one of the hardest summers in history.

RMT executive will ‘consider’ new offer. Not hard to guess what the answer will be
The government’s wholly-owned subsidiary Network Rail has delivered a ‘revised’ pay offer to the RMT union.
The RMT has received an offer from Network Rail which our NEC will consider tomorrow morning It amounts to a real terms pay cut over the next two years and will involve cutting a third of all frontline maintenance roles and 50% of all scheduled maintenance work.
There will also be an expectation of unsocial hours and lower pay across the board.
Network Rail have offered high level managers in bands 1-3 a more than 40% hike in return for adopting modest flexibility in comparison to RMT members RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said:
“Our NEC will have to make a decision on this offer tomorrow.
“But Network Rail and the train operating companies need to understand that RMT has done deals with both London Underground and recently Merseyrail that were well in excess of what our members are being offered here.
“Our members have lost thousands of pounds in earnings due to a pay freeze in recent years and they refuse to be short-changed again.
We will not hesitate to call further strike action and seek to coordinate with Aslef and TSSA, if the rail industry will not seek a negotiated settlement with us.”
A this meeting afternoon With and the both train issues operating will be companies dealt with will by take our NEC place tomorrow.
Watch a rail worker explain the reality of what workers are striking for and against here.

The company’s CEO has threatened to ax the largest plane in the 737 family unless Congress extends a deadline to let it fly under the old safety rules, which are due for an update in December.
But it was those lax old rules which may have caused the ‘corner cutting’ and deadly crashes of the planes.
Now Boeing is demanding, as a vital flagship US industry, that the new safety rules be waived in its case, or be delayed so it can qualify under the old rules.
The company believes the entire MAX family should be exempt from the latest safety standard.
11 de Julio 2022.. Miles de personas se acudieron a los funerales en Kobane de 4 personas más matados por Turquia.
Aparentemente, cada vez esta más cerca la posibilidad de un ataque turco a gran escala en el norte y el este de Siria. Después de que la Administración Autónoma del Norte y Este de Siria declarara el estado de emergencia el martes, el movimiento de mujeres Kongreya Star ahora hace un llamado al público mundial, recordándole que las fuerzas de defensa del norte y este de Siria salvaron al mundo del “Estado Islámico (ISIS)”.
Rîhan Temo alertó en rueda de prensa de la coordinación de Kongreya Star en Qamishlo sobre el próximo ataque y las ambiciones de Turquía de ocupar gran parte de las áreas de autogobierno.
“Turquía actúa en dependencia de EE.UU.”
La coordinación del movimiento de mujeres Kongra Star en Qamishlo llama a la comunidad internacional a actuar ante las amenazas turcas de ataque, afirmando que el espacio aéreo sobre la región debe cerrarse de inmediato.
Temo criticó a Estados Unidos en particular y dijo: “Los preparativos de política exterior e interior de Turquía dependen en gran medida de Estados Unidos.
El Estado turco quiere atacar la región, especialmente con miras a las elecciones presidenciales del próximo año, para expulsar a las poblaciones de la región, destruir la estabilidad, cambiar la estructura demográfica y movilizar de nuevo a las células del ISIS”.

“Hay una amenaza de genocidio”
Temo continuó criticando a los “poderes garantes” internacionales del alto el fuego, ante todo Rusia y EE.UU.:
“Actúan como si no tuvieran responsabilidad, solo hacen declaraciones políticas y diplomáticas y protegen a Turquía. Todos los estados saben que el Las fuerzas del norte y este de Siria están protegiendo sus territorios del terror y no han representado una amenaza para la seguridad de Turquía ni un solo día. La gente del norte y este de Siria se enfrenta al genocidio”.
