Associated Press-US: AstraZeneca results may have included outdated info-Tue, March 23, 2021, 3:21 AM

WASHINGTON (AP) — Results from a U.S. trial of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine may have included “outdated information” and that could mean the company provided an incomplete view of efficacy data, American federal health officials said early Tuesday.AstraZeneca said in a statement that the data it released Monday included cases up to Feb. 17, as the study rules specified, and that it was continuing to analyze cases that have occurred since then. The company said that a preliminary analysis of data that has continued to roll in was consistent with what it had already reported. It promised an update within 48 hours.AstraZeneca reported Monday that its COVID-19 vaccine provided strong protection among adults of all ages in a long-anticipated U.S. study, a finding that some experts hoped would help rebuild public confidence in the shot around the world and move it a step closer to clearance in the U.S.In the study of more than 30,000 people, the company reported that the vaccine was found to be 79% effective at preventing symptomatic cases of COVID-19 — including in older adults. There were no severe illnesses or hospitalizations among vaccinated volunteers, compared with five such cases in participants who received dummy shots — a small number, but consistent with findings from Britain and other countries that the vaccine protects against the worst of the disease.AstraZeneca also said the study’s independent safety monitors found no serious side effects, including no increased risk of rare blood clots like those identified in Europe, a scare that led numerous countries to briefly suspend vaccinations last week.But just hours after those encouraging results were reported, the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases issued an unusual statement.The agency said the Data and Safety Monitoring Board “expressed concern that AstraZeneca may have included outdated information from that trial, which may have provided an incomplete view of the efficacy data.”“We urge the company to work with the DSMB to review the efficacy data and ensure the most accurate, up-to-date efficacy data be made public as quickly as possible,” the statement added.In previous vaccine trials, as is the situation here, cases have continued to accrue, even as companies began to release their data. But the AstraZeneca circumstance is unusual in drawing the concern of the data monitoring board.The Food and Drug Administration reviews the most up-to-date trial findings when it assesses the vaccines.The company has said it aims to file an application with the FDA in the coming weeks, and the government’s outside advisers will then publicly debate the evidence.Authorization and guidelines for use of the vaccine in the United States will be determined by the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after thorough review of the data by independent advisory committees.

Department of Justice-U.S. Attorney’s Office-Northern District of Texas-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-Friday, August 28, 2020

Yaser Said Family Members Charged With Concealing '10 Most Wanted' Suspect From Arrest-Two relatives of Yaser Said – a capital murder suspect arrested Wednesday – have been charged with helping Mr. Said evade capture for more than 12 years, announced U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Erin Nealy Cox.Islam Yaser-Abdel Said, Yaser’s 32-year-old son, and Yassein Said, Yaser’s 59-year-old brother, were arrested Wednesday in Euless, Texas by the FBI’s Dallas Violent Crimes Task Force and charged via criminal complaint with concealing a person from arrest. Both made their initial appearances before U.S. Magistrate Judge Hal R. Ray in Fort Worth Friday afternoon.Yaser Said, 63, had been a fugitive from justice since New Year’s Day 2008, when he allegedly murdered his teenage daughters, Amina and Sarah. According to law enforcement, Yaser drove them to a location in Irving and shot them to death inside his taxicab, abandoning their bodies inside the vehicle. The following day, he was charged by the state with two counts of capital murder. In Dec. 2014, Yaser was placed on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list, where he remained until his capture this week“For years, Islam and Yassein Said — Sarah and Amina’s own brother and uncle – allegedly harbored the girls’ killer,” said U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox. “In concealing Yaser Said from arrest, not only did these men waste countless law enforcement hours in the hunt for a brutal fugitive, they also delayed justice for Sarah and Amina. Thankfully, their day of reckoning has finally arrived. We are hopeful all three arrests will bring a measure of comfort to the girls’ mother, relatives, and friends.”“The defendants provided aid and comfort to an individual who is accused of murdering his own daughters,” said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas Field Division Matthew DeSarno. “Harboring a dangerous fugitive is unacceptable. The FBI and our law enforcement partners will pursue anyone who helps a criminal evade capture.”According to the criminal complaint against Islam and Yassein, nine years after the murder, on Aug. 14, 2017, investigators caught a break: A maintenance worker at the Copper Canyon Apartment complex in Bedford, Texas, spotted Yaser inside a unit leased to his son, Islam.Dispatched to repair a water leak, the maintenance worker knocked on the apartment door, but when no one answered, he used a key to unlock it. To his surprise, he found the interior deadbolt locked, indicating someone was inside the apartment. He knocked again, announcing himself as a maintenance worker. A tall, middle-aged Middle Eastern man opened the door and permitted him to make the repairs.The maintenance worker later reported the incident to his apartment manager, who was aware of Islam’s relationship to a fugitive. The maintenance worker confirmed to his boss that the photo on Yaser Said’s wanted poster matched the man he’d seen in the apartment, and the pair immediately contacted the FBI. That same day, FBI Dallas dispatched a Violent Crimes Task Force agent to interview the maintenance worker. The agent showed him photos of Yaser’s brothers, along with Yaser himself. The maintenance worker pinpointed Yaser as the man he’d seen in the apartment.At approximately 6:30 p.m. that evening, the same agent attempted to interview Islam, asking him for permission to search the apartment. Islam, upset, allegedly refused to cooperate. He then called placed a call, saying, “we have a problem.” AT&T records indicate Islam was in contact with his uncles.At 1 a.m. the following morning, the FBI Dallas SWAT team executed a search warrant on Islam’s apartment. Finding the front door locked, they were forced to breach the door. They did not discover anyone inside, but observed the sliding glass patio door open. Underneath the patio, they noticed a bush with broken branches, suggesting someone had jumped off the patio and landed on the bush. Next to the flattened bush, they found a pair of eyeglasses, which they collected as evidence.Agents also collected several pieces of evidence from inside the apartment, including several cigarette butts and a toothbrush inside a luggage bag in a closet. The FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia cross-referenced DNA found on these items with DNA collected from Amina and Sarah. Analyists determined a 1 in 5.3 quintillion probably that the DNA found on the cigarette butts, eyeglasses, and toothbrush came from Amina and Sarah’s biological father: Yaser Said.Twelve days after the raid on the apartment, on August 26, 2017, Customs and Border Patrol located Islam more than 1,000 miles away, inside a car selected for secondary screening at the U.S. Canada border. The driver of the car, Hany Medhat, told CBP agents that he and Islam had decided to take a “crazy road trip;” however, a search of his phone revealed he’d told his employer he had a “family emergency.”Three years later, on Aug. 17, 2020, FBI agents began 24-hour surveillance of a home in Justin, Texas, purchased in the name of Dalal Said, Yassein’s daughter. They watched Islam and Yassein allegedly drive up to the home, deliver grocery bags inside, and carry trash bags back to their car.Two days later, at 11:51 p.m. on Aug. 19, after Yassein and Islam had departed the residence, agents observed what appeared to be a shadow of a person walk across the interior of the residence in front of window twice.On Aug. 25, agents once again observed Islam and Yassein exit the home with two bags of trash:Islam Said exits the Justin residence on Aug. 25, bag in hand.The agents followed the pair to a shopping center in Southlake, TX, approximately 19 miles from the house. They watched as Islam exited the vehicle, and Yassein  pulled around to the side of the shopping center. Once the vehicle had pulled out of the parking lot, agents began to dig through the garbage cans on the side of the shopping center.Inside the garbage cans, they located two bags matching the bags they’d seen the men carrying out to the car. They seized the bags and transported them back to the FBI Field Office, where they found numerous cigarette butts and other garbage.The following day, agents executed a search warrant on the home, where they arrested Yaser Said. They arrested Yassein and Islam at a separate location in Euless, Texas.A criminal complaint is merely an allegation of wrongdoing, not evidence. Like all defendants, Yassein and Islam Said are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law, as is Yaser Said.If convicted, Yassein and Islam face up to five years in federal prison. Yaser, indicted by the state on capital murder charges, faces the death penalty.The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Dallas Field Division and the Irving Police Department conducted the investigation with the assistance of U.S. Customs & Border Patrol, the Dallas Police Department, the Garland Police department, the Grand Prairie Police Department, and the Texas Department of Public Safety. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tiffany Eggers and Errin Martin are prosecuting the case.

Yahoo News-10 victims, suspect identified in Boulder mass shooting-Dylan Stableford·Senior Writer-Tue, March 23, 2021, 11:32 AM

Officials in Boulder, Colo., have publicly identified the suspect and victims in Monday's mass shooting that left 10 people dead at a supermarket in the Denver suburb.At a press briefing Tuesday morning, Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold fought back tears as she read aloud the names and ages of those killed: • Denny Strong, 20 • Neven Stanisic, 23 • Rikki Olds, 25 • Tralona Bartkowiak, 49 • Teri Leiker, 51 • Eric Talley, 51 • Suzanne Fountain, 59 • Kevin Mahoney, 61 • Lynn Murray, 62 • Jodi Waters, 65.The suspect was identified as Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 21, of Arvada, Colo., who was charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder. Herold said the suspect was wounded in an exchange of gunfire with police and taken into custody. He is in stable condition and is expected to be transferred to Boulder County Jail later Tuesday."I'm so sorry this happened," Herold said. "We are going to do everything in our power to make sure this suspect has a thorough trial."A motive has yet to be identified. Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty stressed that the investigation is in its early stages.Talley was the first officer to respond to reports of an armed man inside the King Soopers store. The 51-year-old father of seven had been a member of the Boulder Police force since 2010."I live three blocks up the street from that store," Herold said. "You're worried about your neighbors. You're worried about your partner. You're worried about everything when you get that call. And so, yeah, I feel numb. It's heartbreaking."The massacre in Boulder comes less than a week after shootings at three spas in the Atlanta area left eight people dead.“It’s been a painful year, as we sit here once again, surrounded by seemingly incomprehensible loss,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said. "People who started their day with a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper, or perhaps getting their kids ready and putting on a winter coat to go out. Maybe they were making last-minute spring break plans, but none of them expected that this would be their last day here on the planet."President Biden ordered all flags at the White House be flown at half staff in honor of the victims of Monday's massacre.Biden is expected to deliver remarks on the killings later this afternoon.

Associated Press-Police: 10 people killed in Colorado supermarket shooting-PATTY NIEBERG, JAMES ANDERSON and COLLEEN SLEVIN-Mon, March 22, 2021, 5:38 PM EDT

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A shooting at a Colorado supermarket killed 10 people Monday, including a police officer who was the first to respond to the scene, authorities said.Police arrested a suspect, but didn't reveal his name or any details about the shooting at an evening news conference where Boulder police Chief Maris Herold fought back tears.Investigators had just begun sorting through evidence and witness interviews and didn’t have details on a motive for the shooting at the King Soopers store in Boulder, which is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of Denver and home to the University of Colorado, said Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty.“This is a tragedy and a nightmare for Boulder County,” Dougherty said. “These were people going about their day, doing their shopping. I promise the victims and the people of the state of Colorado that we will secure justice."The attack was the seventh mass killing this year in the U.S., following the March 16 shooting that left eight people dead at three Atlanta-area massage businesses, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University.It follows a lull in mass killings during the pandemic in 2020, which had the smallest number of such attacks in more than a decade, according to the database, which tracks mass killings defined as four or more dead, not including the shooter.The slain officer was identified as Eric Talley, 51, who had been with Boulder police since 2010, Herold said. He went to the store after a call about shots fired and someone carrying a rifle, she said.“He was by all accounts one of the outstanding officers of the Boulder Police Department, and his life was cut too short,” Dougherty said of Talley.Identities of the other nine victims were not disclosed Monday night as police were still notifying their family members.Matthew Kirsch, the acting U.S. attorney for Colorado, pledged that “the full weight of federal law enforcement” will support the investigation. He said investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were at the crime scene, along with FBI agents.Officers had escorted a shirtless man with blood running down his leg out of the store in handcuffs but authorities would not say if he was the suspect. They did say the suspect was receiving medical care and was the only person injured who did not die.Officials have not said whether the suspect is the person who was taken from the shooting scene to Foothills Hospital in Boulder. The hospital will not release any further information on the patient, said Rich Sheehan, spokesman for Boulder Community Health, which operates the hospital.Dean Schiller told The Associated Press that he had just left the supermarket when he heard gunshots and saw three people lying face down, two in the parking lot and one near the doorway. He said he “couldn’t tell if they were breathing."Video posted on YouTube showed one person on the floor inside the store and two more outside on the ground. What sounds like two gunshots are also heard at the beginning of the video.Law enforcement vehicles and officers massed outside the store, including SWAT teams, and at least three helicopters landed on the roof. Some windows at the front of the store were broken.At one point, authorities said over a loudspeaker that the building was surrounded and that “you need to surrender."Sarah Moonshadow told the Denver Post that two shots rang out just after she and her son, Nicolas Edwards, finished buying strawberries. She said she told her son to get down and then “we just ran.”Once they got outside, she said they saw a body in the parking lot. Edwards said police were speeding into the lot and pulled up next to the body.“I knew we couldn’t do anything for the guy,” he said. “We had to go.”James Bentz told the Post that he was in the meat section when he heard what he thought was a misfire, then a series of pops.“I was then at the front of a stampede,” he said.Bentz said he jumped off a loading dock out back to escape and that younger people were helping older people off of it.Colorado Gov. Jared Polis tweeted a statement that his “heart is breaking as we watch this unspeakable event unfold in our Boulder community."Police had told people to shelter in place amid a report of an “armed, dangerous individual” about 3 miles (5 kilometers) away from the grocery store but said at the news conference later that it wasn't related to the shooting.White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted that President Joe Biden had been briefed on the shooting.In a statement, the King Soopers chain offered “thoughts, prayers and support to our associates, customers, and the first responders who so bravely responded to this tragic situation. We will continue to cooperate with local law enforcement and our store will remain closed during the police investigation.”Kevin Daly, owner of Under the Sun Eatery and Pizzeria Restaurant a block or so from the supermarket, said he was in his shop when he saw police cars arriving and shoppers running from the grocery store. He said he took in several people to keep them warm, and others boarded a bus provided by Boulder police and were taken away.___Nieberg is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

A majority of Russian respondents hold favorable views toward China, a recent survey found.Why it matters: Russia is deepening its economic and diplomatic ties with China as the two nations draw closer together, bound in part by their shared animus toward Washington.Stay on top of the latest market trends and economic insights with Axios Markets. Subscribe for freeDriving the news: The Chinese and Russian foreign ministers met today and jointly criticized the new human rights sanctions the EU levied on both countries yesterday.Details: In a joint survey conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the Levada Analytical Center published on March 10, pollsters found 74% of Russian respondents have positive views toward China.By contrast, just 45% expressed a favorable view towards the EU, and 39% had a favorable view of the U.S.56% of Russian respondents said growing Russian ties to China did not increase their country's dependence on Beijing.The bottom line: "Russian President Putin’s reorientation away from the West and toward Beijing in the aftermath of the 2014 Crimea annexation seems to have been accepted, if not embraced, by the Russian public," the survey authors write.

Associated Press-Xi, Kim share messages reaffirming China-N. Korea alliance-KIM TONG-HYUNG-Mon, March 22, 2021, 11:28 PM

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The leaders of China and North Korea are reaffirming their traditional alliance following contentious talks between top diplomats from Washington and Beijing and diplomatic isolation and economic problems in the North that have left it ever-more dependent on the Chinese.The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said Tuesday that leader Kim Jong Un called for stronger “unity and cooperation” with China in the face of challenges posed by “hostile forces” while exchanging messages with Chinese President Xi Jinping.According to KCNA and China’s Xinhua news agency, Xi in his own message to Kim described bilateral relations as a “valuable asset” to both countries and vowed to make unspecified contributions to the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.KCNA said Xi also expressed a commitment to “provide the peoples of the two countries with better life.” Some analysts saw this as an indication that China would soon provide North Korea with badly needed food, fertilizer and other aid that had been significantly reduced amid the pandemic border closures.Xinhua said the leaders’ messages were exchanged between Chinese senior diplomat Song Tao and North Korean Ambassador to China Ri Ryong Nam during a meeting in Beijing on Monday.The exchange came as the Biden administration steps up diplomatic efforts to strengthen cooperation with Asian allies South Korea and Japan to deal with the North Korean nuclear threat and China’s growing regional influence.Top U.S. and Chinese officials traded sharp and unusually public barbs in Alaska last week in their first face-to-face meetings since President Joe Biden took office, where Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington is united with its allies in pushing back against Chinese authoritarianism.The contentious talks in Anchorage came after Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin traveled to Japan and South Korea for talks that mainly focused on North Korea and China.During his visit to Seoul, Blinken sternly criticized North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and human rights record and pressed China to use its “tremendous influence” to convince the North to denuclearize.The North has so far ignored the Biden’s administration’s efforts to reach out, saying it won’t engage in meaningful talks with the U.S. unless Washington abandons what Pyongyang sees as “hostile” policies, which clearly refers to the U.S.-led sanctions and pressure over its nuclear program.KCNA said Kim addressed the state of the North’s relations with the U.S. and South Korea, and said communication between him and Xi was required in the face of changed “external situations and reality,” apparently referring to the new U.S. administration.Kim’s message “stressed the need to strengthen the unity and cooperation between the two parties and two countries to cope with the hostile forces’ all-round challenges and obstructive moves,” KCNA said.Cheong Seong-Chang, director of North Korea studies at South Korea’s private Sejong Institute, said Kim’s message to Xi was clearly in response to last week’s visits by Blinken and Lloyd to Japan and South Korea, which signaled the start of the Biden administration’s efforts to create a coordinated approach with its allies on North Korea.Cheong said it was notable that Xi did not publicly express his support for Kim’s stated plans to expand the North’s nuclear capabilities and instead stressed regional stability.This shows China prefers diplomacy over a revival of tensions in the Korean Peninsula, and despite its friction with the United States, could still endorse a resumption of talks between Washington and Pyongyang, he said.China had advocated a “two-track approach” to the issue, whereby the U.S. would offer security guarantees to North Korea in exchange for Pyongyang abandoning its nuclear weapons programs.The meetings in Anchorage reflected increasingly troubled relations between the U.S. and China, which are at odds over a range of issues from trade to human rights in Tibet, Hong Kong and China’s western Xinjiang region, as well as over Taiwan, China’s assertiveness in the South China Sea and the coronavirus pandemic.Responding to Blinken’s criticism about his government, Communist Party foreign affairs chief Yang Jiechi said Beijing had no intention to back down on any issue and that the U.S. should stop pushing its own version of democracy at a time when America itself has been roiled by domestic discontent.As North Korea pursued diplomacy with the U.S. starting in 2018, it also worked to strengthen relations with China, its traditional ally and economic lifeline. But Kim has nothing to show for his ambitious summits with then-President Donald Trump, which collapsed in 2019 over disagreements in exchanging the release of crippling U.S.-led sanctions against North Korea and the North’s disarmament steps.The North’s economic woes have been compounded by pandemic border closures and devastating natural disasters that wiped out crops last summer. At a ruling party congress in January, Kim vowed to further expand the North’s nuclear program and urged his people to be resilient in the struggle for economic self-reliance.South Korea’s spy agency told lawmakers late last year that North Korea’s trade volume with China fell by 75% during the first 10 months of 2020. That led to a shortage of raw materials that plunged the North’s factory operations to their lowest level since Kim took power in late 2011, and a jump in the prices of imported foods like sugar and seasonings.Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in Seoul on Tuesday for meetings with South Korean officials this week on North Korea and other regional issues. Public spats between Washington and Moscow erupted this week after Biden, during an ABC interview, characterized Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “killer” and said Putin will “pay a price” for his efforts to undermine the 2020 U.S. election.

Associated Press-Poll: Fatah, Hamas face headwinds ahead of Palestinian vote-JOSEPH KRAUSS-Tue, March 23, 2021, 10:40 AM

JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party and his militant Hamas rivals would each fall well short of a parliamentary majority if elections are held in May, forcing them to partner with each other or smaller parties to form a government, according to a poll released Tuesday.Abbas has decreed Palestinian elections for May 22 in what would be the first general vote since Hamas won a landslide victory in 2006. The process appears to be on track, but disputes between the long-feuding factions could cause the vote to be delayed or canceled.The poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found that if elections were held today a single Fatah list would win 43% of the vote and Hamas would win 30%, with 18% of voters undecided.But a faction led by Mohammed Dahlan, a former senior Fatah leader who had a falling out with Abbas and is based in the United Arab Emirates, would win 10%. Nasser al-Kidwa, who was kicked out of Fatah after forming his own list, would win 7%. They would mainly draw votes from Fatah, dropping its share to around 30%, the poll said.The well-regarded PCPSR carried out face-to-face interviews with 1,200 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank and Gaza, with a margin of error of 3%.PCPSR director Khalil Shikaki said Fatah is seen as best able to address most of voters' top concerns, including restoring national unity, improving the economy and lifting the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza that was imposed after Hamas seized power in 2007. But Fatah's internal rivalries could weaken it vis-à-vis the more disciplined and unified Hamas."Both Fatah and Hamas have major problems," Shikaki told reporters. “Hamas' main problem is the perception that it cannot address the major challenges. Fatah's major problem is the splits."He said it appears unlikely that even a late swing toward Hamas would be enough for the group to repeat its shock victory of 2006. That led to months of factional bickering culminating in a week of street battles in Gaza in which Hamas drove out forces loyal to Abbas.Since then, Hamas' rule of Gaza has eroded its popularity, and the lavish lifestyle adopted by some of its exiled leaders means it can no longer campaign as a scrappy underdog that puts its principles ahead of material comforts.“It seems clear that Hamas does not have a chance to have a majority in the parliament," Shikaki said, adding that the most likely scenario would be a national unity government or a Fatah-led coalition including smaller parties.He cautioned, however, that unforeseen events — such as a prisoner exchange between Hamas and Israel or Israel's targeted killing of a senior militant — could swing public opinion in Hamas' favor between now and the election.It's unclear how the international community would respond to the formation of a government led by or including Hamas, which has fought three wars with Israel and is considered a terrorist group by Western countries. The international boycott of Hamas following the 2006 elections was one of the main factors driving the internal rift.hikaki said most voters seem to have taken the possible consequences of a Hamas victory into consideration, which may account for some of Fatah's popularity.“People's decisions regarding which party to vote for seem to be clearly based on cost-benefit calculations,” he said.

Islamic State still a threat, Kurds warn two years after ‘caliphate’ falls-Syrian Democratic Forces say efforts to combat jihadists today ‘more difficult and more dangerous’ since their expulsion into Syria’s vast desert-By Delil Soleiman-MAR 23,21-Today, 7:46 pm

AL-OMAR, Syria (AFP) — Islamic State forces remain as dangerous today as when they were ousted from their last Syrian bastion two years ago, Kurdish forces warned Tuesday as they marked the anniversary.The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said counter-terrorism efforts today were “more difficult than face-to-face fighting with IS jihadists, and are considered more dangerous,” in a statement to mark their victory in March 2019.“The fall of the last patch of IS territory in northeast Syria does not mean complete defeat,” the SDF added.On Tuesday, Kurdish authorities, local tribal leaders, and members of the US-led coalition who pushed IS from their Syrian stronghold, marked the anniversary with a military parade in the US-protected Al-Omar oil field, in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor.The IS defeat in the eastern riverside hamlet of Baghouz marked the end of a cross-border “caliphate” declared in 2014 across swaths of Iraq and Syria.But two years on, IS has shown that it does not need a stronghold to pose a potent threat, with the jihadists carrying out regular attacks and ambushes, including setting off roadside bombs and machine-gunning vehicles.They are also feared to be recruiting fresh fighters, including among tens of thousands of suspected IS relatives detained in overcrowded displacement camps.We are currently at the most difficult stage of our counter-terrorism efforts,” the SDF added.‘Safe haven’IS retains some 10,000 active fighters in both Syria and Iraq, although the majority are reported to be in Iraq, the United Nations said in a recent report.Syria’s vast desert near the Iraqi border has emerged as a key “safe haven” for IS operatives and a springboard for attacks, the UN said.The IS group is “building and retaining a cellular structure which allows it to carry out terrorist attacks,” General Kenneth McKenzie, head of the US Central Command that oversees troops deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, said last month.At Al-Omar, SDF banners were raised to mark the anniversary, alongside posters carrying pictures of fighters killed during the years-long battle against jihadists.Fighters in fatigues marched in a show of strength.“In the spirit of the liberation of Baghouz… we will liberate all our lands,” one poster read, referring to the village where IS made its last stand.Kurdish fighters joined ranks with Arab forces to form the US-backed SDF alliance in 2015.They would go on to oust IS from key areas, including the jihadists’ de facto capital Raqa in 2017.In October 2019, a US strike on Syria killed IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and several other prominent figures.But Baghdadi’s successor, Mohammed Said Abd al-Rahman al-Mawla, has been able to direct and inspire new attacks.Danger ‘lives on’The tens of thousands of jihadists in Kurdish jails and suspected IS relatives held in displacement camps have emerged as an extremist powder keg.Syria’s Kurds hold nearly 43,000 foreigners with links to the jihadist group in jails and informal displacement camps, Human Rights Watch said Tuesday.They include 27,500 children, at least 300 of whom are in squalid prisons, while the rest are kept in rehabilitation centers or locked camps, HRW said.Repeated calls for Western countries to repatriate their nationals have largely fallen on deaf ears, with just a handful of children and a few women being brought home.“Men, women, and children from around the world are entering a third year of unlawful detention in life-threatening conditions… while their governments look the other way,” HRW’s Letta Tayler said.The SDF reiterated calls Tuesday for countries to boost repatriation efforts, and establish international tribunals to prosecute those in detention accused of being jihadists.Most suspected IS relatives are being kept in the Al Hol camp, the largest of the settlements controlled by Kurdish authorities.Al-Hol holds almost 62,000 people, mostly women and children, including Syrians, Iraqis, and thousands from Europe and Asia accused of family ties with IS fighters.
Some detainees see the camp as the last vestige of the cross-border “caliphate”.“The danger of the IS group lives on in the thousands of prisoners held in jails as well as… their relatives detained in camps,” the SDF added.In a report published last month, the UN said it had documented instances of “radicalization, fundraising, training and incitement of external operations” at Al-Hol.It also warned of the fate of around 7,000 children living in a special annex designated for foreign IS relatives.They are “being groomed as future ISIL operatives,” the UN said, using a different acronym for the IS group.

With election turnout lowest since 2009, parties break out panic campaigns-As of 6 p.m., 51.5% have cast their ballot, a 4.8% decline compared to last round; turnout down in Arab communities; stations for COVID patients, people in quarantine said empty-By TOI staff-MAR 23,21-Today, 5:33 pm

Turnout in Israel’s fourth national election in two years slumped on Tuesday afternoon, recording the lowest rates since 2009 as of 6 p.m. at 51.5 percent — a drop of 4.8% from the same time on election day a year ago, the Central Elections Committee said.In response, and with only a few hours before the polls were set to close, politicians made last-ditch attempts to galvanize their supporters to go out and vote, in what has come to be known in Israel as “gevalt” tactics (a Yiddish term for doomsaying).Turnout was said to be particularly low in Arab communities, with the predominantly Arab Joint List party estimating a final turnout of some 55% by the end of the day. It stood at around 23% by 2 p.m., the Joint List said. Final Arab turnout in the March 2020 election stood at some 65%, a two-decade high.Special polling stations for those in quarantine and those carrying the coronavirus also saw few show up to cast their ballots. As of the afternoon, only some 1,200 of 6,700 carrying the virus had voted.In the previous three elections since April 2019, turnout had actually been steadily rising. The April 2019 election saw a turnout of 68.41%. In September 2019 it rose to 69.8%, and in March 2020 to 71.5%. This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic limiting overseas travel, more Israelis are at home on election day. Last year some 100,000 Israelis, mostly young, were abroad when the vote was held.Yesh Atid party leader Yair Lapid and his wife Lihi cast their ballots at a voting station in Tel Aviv, in the Knesset elections on March 23, 2021. (Tomer Neuberg/Flash90)-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu headed to southern towns and cities, usually Likud strongholds, where he claimed turnout was worryingly low.ikud tweeted out a message claiming that Tel Aviv and its suburbs were seeing high turnout.And what’s happening in  Likud strongholds? Ashkelon, Beersheba, Ashdod, Tiberias, Jerusalem, Kiryat Shmona — why is turnout low? Go vote [Likud] now or you’ll get [Yesh Atid leader Yair] Lapid, a rotation and another election. Two more seats for [Likud] and we win,” the party said.Stumping for votes, Lapid and Labor leader Merav Michaeli separately claimed that smaller center-left parties were no longer under threat of slipping under the electoral threshold, even as the left-wing Meretz and centrist Blue and White pleaded for votes and warned they could fail to make it into the Knesset.“Friends, this is no joke,” lamented Michaeli. “Turnout numbers are low. We won’t be able to effect change this way. It’s in out hands. Go vote.”“Netanyahu is trying to erase Yamina, don’t let it happen,” Yamina party leader Naftali Bennett tweeted.Religious Zionism Party head Bezalel Smotrich sent out a message blaming over-eager Passover cleaners for the poor turnout. “We’re seeing low turnout in our areas, apparently because of Passover cleaning. Cleaning is important, but go vote,” he chided.New Hope leader Gideon Sa’ar, formerly of Likud, urged supporters of Netanyahu’s party who were on the fence to back his right-wing list, rather than the Netanyahu-allied, far-right Religious Zionism.And Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman urged secular Israelis to head to the polls to weaken the ultra-Orthodox parties, as the Haredi parties issued an urgent call to their followers to vote, citing Liberman’s secularist policies.The latest election, like the previous three, revolves around Netanyahu. The ground has shifted since the last vote — with right-wing rivals defying him for the first time, and the centrist challenge mounted by Blue and White’s Benny Gantz having faded — but Netanyahu has so far managed to keep his footing, with polls showing him gaining ground at the expense of his rivals in recent weeks.Turnout is expected to be a key factor in the final results.The voting rate in particular sectors will likely be crucial. Netanyahu’s ultra-Orthodox allies tend to see a very high rate of turnout, while Arab voters are expected to be less inclined to vote after the partial breakup of the Arab-majority Joint List alliance, which achieved its best-ever showing last year.A number of small parties have polled dangerously close to the electoral threshold and may not win Knesset representation, which could swing the race in either direction.An Arab Israeli woman votes in the Knesset election at a polling station in Maghar, March 23, 2021. (AP Photo/Mahmoud Illean)-The anti-Netanyahu parties Blue and White and Meretz are particularly close to the 3.25% cutoff, which bodes well for the premier. The right-wing Religious Zionism party appears to be in slightly safer territory after climbing in polls in recent weeks. The Islamist Ra’am faction, which has not committed to either the pro- or anti-Netanyahu blocs, has also been hovering near the threshold.Tuesday’s vote is the second to take place under the shadow of the pandemic. The previous one, in March 2020, played out with the coronavirus storm only just beginning, and relatively few cases reported in Israel.Since then, the virus has swamped the country, killing over 6,000 people and crashing the economy.But the outbreak in Israel is now receding amid a world-leading vaccination campaign spearheaded by Netanyahu, who has been in office for 12 years. The historic normalization agreements he reached with Arab states since the last election will also likely play in his favor.His ongoing corruption trial and splintered government will not, however, as he contends with challengers on both his right and left flanks. Following the last election, his unity government with Blue and White chief Gantz began crumbling almost immediately, and elections were triggered over a budget impasse many blamed on the premier.Israeli voters, wearing protective masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic, wait in line to cast their ballots in Tel Aviv on March 23, 2021 on the fourth national election in two years. (GIL COHEN-MAGEN / AFP)-Netanyahu’s Likud is widely expected to be the largest party in the Knesset after Israelis cast their votes at some 15,000 polling stations around the country. Many polls predict ongoing political deadlock; a few in the final days of the campaign have forecast a potential slim pro-Netanyahu coalition after the vote.The country has taken precautions to accommodate its 6,578,084 eligible voters during the pandemic, with logistics turning the election into the most expensive in Israel’s history. A maximum of only 650 voters are allowed at each polling station, and special measures have been taken to allow COVID-19 patients to vote.For quarantined virus carriers, special shuttles have been arranged to take them to designated polling stations. The patients can only vote in those stations, which are designed to prevent infections, and they can only arrive using the state-run shuttles. Hospitalized patients can vote at the hospitals.Those in quarantine who have not been diagnosed with the virus can also vote only at special sites.A polling station has also been put in place for Israelis flying into Ben Gurion Airport Tuesday, since they must head to quarantine after arrival.The election comes amid tensions over the voting process and accusations of incitement from Netanyahu’s opponents.The head of the Elections Committee, Orly Adas, said Monday that vote counting will likely take several days — longer than usual — due to coronavirus precautions and the upcoming Passover holiday. She warned that the delay could be “fertile ground” for growing efforts to delegitimize the results.

Liberman: Haredim ‘flocking to polls’; Gafni: We’ll wipe anti-Semite’s smile off-Ultra-Orthodox UTJ leader calls Yisrael Beytenu chief an ‘anti-Semite’ in a heated war of words on election day-By TOI staff-MAR 23,21-Today, 5:18 pm

Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman clashed with the leader of the United Torah Judaism party on Tuesday as Israel went to the polls, with the latter calling the former an “anti-Semite.”Liberman said in a statement that “the ultra-Orthodox are flocking to the polls, now is the turn of the secular to go and vote” — a reference to a controversial statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the 2015 election, originally made about Arab voters.Liberman has campaigned for secularist values and repeatedly attacked the ultra-Orthodox leadership, saying it holds too much sway over the lives of non-Haredi Israelis. Haredi leaders have claimed Liberman has racist hatred toward their public, though the Yisrael Beytenu chief has insisted his beef is only with Haredi politicians and hegemony over public life.“We will wipe the smile off that anti-Semite’s face today,” UTJ’s Moshe Gafni said in a video, responding to Liberman’s comment.In 2015, Netanyahu published a video urging right-wingers to vote because Arab Israelis were “flocking” to the polls in “droves.” He later apologized for the statement“When [Netanyahu] said the Arabs were flocking to the polls, the whole country was buzzing and he had to recant,” Gafni said, adding that “now, this anti-Semite Liberman is saying that the ultra-Orthodox are flocking to the polls and everyone is silent about this terrible thing. The authorities need to prosecute him, but the country is silent.”In response, Liberman took to Twitter, writing again: “To the secular: The ultra-Orthodox are flocking to the polls. Go out and vote!”Last week Liberman came under fire for saying he’d dump Netanyahu and the Haredim “in a landfill,” during an interview with Channel 12 news.The leader of Yisrael Beytenu was asked if he would consider serving in a coalition with the ultra-Orthodox parties if it meant ousting Netanyahu.“There will be no such thing,” he responded. “Listen, we’ll send the ultra-Orthodox together with Bibi on a wheelbarrow to a landfill.”Yisrael Beytenu is a secularist right-wing party that was formed in 1999 by Liberman. The party has over the years pushed anti-Arab rhetoric and advocated for a two-state solution in which predominantly Arab cities become part of a Palestinian state and their residents lose their Israeli citizenship.In recent years, Yisrael Beytenu has emphasized a secularist stance, placing itself at the vanguard of the struggle to water down ultra-Orthodox influence. This has included advocating for civil marriage and for widespread mandatory IDF recruitment among the ultra-Orthodox. The party has a solid base of Russian-speaking immigrants, many of whom are right-wing yet secular.Formerly a close ally of Likud and the ultra-Orthodox parties, Yisrael Beytenu has fallen out with Netanyahu and since 2019 has said he refuses to join a coalition headed by Netanyahu, or one that includes Shas or United Torah Judaism, so long as they do not accept his secularist policies.Michael Bachner contributed to this report.

Analysis-As Biden mulls Syrian war policy, Russia poised to boost its regional influence-New administration has raised other Middle East issues as priorities while indicating Syria is a matter for the United Nations to deal with-By Ellen Knickmeyer-MAAR 23,21-Today, 3:16 pm

AP — The Biden administration is mulling over America’s role in Syria’s ongoing conflict as the US tries to break away from Middle East wars, but Vladimir Putin’s top diplomat already has been busy on the ground, trying to win support for a Syria approach that could establish Russia as a broker of security and power in the region.The new US administration has yet to say how it plans to handle Syria, which is now fragmented among a half-dozen militaries — including US troops — owing to a war that has killed and has displaced millions. The conflict includes al-Qaeda affiliates, Islamic State forces and other jihadist groups eager to use Syria as a base.Russia and Iran have intervened to prevent the collapse of Syrian President Bashar Assad, who has wielded chemical attacks, barrel bombs and starvation to crush what had started out as a peaceful uprising. The conflict just entered its 11th year.Dealing with Syria’s war will test the Biden administration’s determination to focus on Asia and not the Middle East. If the United States diminishes its presence, Russia and other hostile US rivals are poised to step in and boost their regional stature and resources.Hence Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s Middle East tour this month.Lavrov stood by as the foreign minister of a Gulf state generally friendly to Washington, the United Arab Emirates, delivered a message in line with Moscow’s position: US sanctions on Syria’s Russia-supported regime were blocking international efforts to rebuild Syria. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said it is time to welcome Syria back into the fold of Arab nations.In other words, Russia’s message is “the Syria war is over, Assad has won, Assad will be in power as long as he is breathing oxygen,” said Frederic Hof, who served as a US Syria adviser and envoy in the Obama administration.Hof said there was an unstated part of the message: Russia plans to be on hand as “Syria is built from the ashes,” benefiting from any international reconstruction resources coming in, and positioning itself as the broker to manage the security threats that Syria poses to the region.Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, left, and UAE’s Foreign Affairs Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan enter a hall for their joint news conference in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, March 9, 2021. (Russian Foreign Ministry Press Service via AP)Hof and James F. Jeffrey, a career diplomat under Republican and Democratic administrations who served as US President Donald Trump’s Syria envoy, argue for the United States to remain a significant presence in the country, citing Russia’s ambitions.If this is the security future of the Middle East, we’re all in trouble,” Jeffrey warns. “That’s what Putin and Lavrov are pushing.”The Biden administration is reviewing whether it should consider Syria as one of America’s most important national security problems.It’s shown no sign yet of doing so. Notably, where US President Joe Biden has spelled out some other Middle East problems as priorities — including Yemen’s war and Iran’s nuclear program, for which Biden appointed envoys — he and his officials have said and done little publicly on Syria.In Congress, Syria is at the heart of a congressional debate over whether to reduce or end the authorities given to presidents to conduct military strikes in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.It was the Syrian war that sparked that debate, when US President Barack Obama first considered military strikes there, said Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat and member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “Congress has sidelined itself in some of the most important decisions that a country can take.”One of Biden’s few public mentions of Syria since taking office came last week, when he listed it among international problems that the UN Security Council should do more on.Marking the 10th anniversary of the start of the Syrian conflict last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a statement with European counterparts emphasized the need for humanitarian aid for Syrian civilians and accountability for the Assad regime.US troops are helping protect an opposition enclave in northeast Syria, in an area that includes oil and natural gas. During Biden’s campaign last year, Blinken framed the military role as a “point of leverage” in negotiations over the international handling of Syria, rather than an ongoing force.Spokespeople with the National Security Council and US State Department declined to answer specific questions on Biden’s Syria policy, including whether the administration sees the Syria conflict as a major national security threat or plans to appoint an envoy.Biden follows Obama and Trump in seeking to minimize the United States’ military role in the Middle East and shift the focus of US foreign policy to Asia, where China has been increasingly aggressive.But the Middle East’s conflicts and the United States’ own strategic schemes have a way of pulling Americans back.Biden last month became the sixth consecutive US president to bomb a Middle East target, hitting an Iranian-allied militia in Syria that had attacked American and allied personnel in neighboring Iraq.Some current and former US diplomats for the Middle East have argued Syria is not a top security threat for the United StaTES-Robert S. Ford, an Obama administration ambassador to Syria with years of diplomatic experience in the region, concluded in a Foreign Affairs article last year that Washington should move toward pulling its troops out of northeast Syria, arrange for Russia and others to deal with jihadist fighters, and put the United States’ money toward helping the war’s refugees.But Hof and Jeffrey, two others who dealt with Syria for past administrations, argue against withdrawal.“If I were an ISIS [Islamic State] leader now trying desperately to organize an insurgency to come back” in Syria, “I would pray that that advice be taken,” Hof said. For the Islamic State group, “if you can have as your enemies the (Syrian) regime, the Iranians and the Russians, it doesn’t get any better than that.”A test of Biden administration intentions is looming, as Russia seeks to use its UN Security Council position to shut down a humanitarian aid route into part of Syria not under the control of the Russia-supported Syrian government, notes Mona Yacoubian, senior Syria adviser for the US Institute for Peace think tank.Maintaining or bolstering the US footprint in Syria will be important, Yacoubian said — not just as leverage in political negotiations, but also to shape the rules of the game for Russia’s presence in the Middle East. And other immediate goals for the international community remain: making life “more manageable and less miserable for Syrians,” she said.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)

Top Abbas advisers urge Palestinian statehood with ‘soft’ sovereignty-Hussein Agha and Ahmad Samih Khalidi, seasoned negotiators with Israel, propose Jordan and Egypt taking on security roles, and Saudi normalization if settlement expansion ends-By Stuart Winer-MAR 23,21-Today, 10:30 am

Two of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s top advisers on negotiations with Israel urged in an editorial that Palestinians abandon their campaign for an independent state and instead aim for a “soft” sovereignty that would see Jordan and Egypt take over responsibility for border security affairs.Writing in the latest edition of Foreign Affairs magazine, Hussein Agha and Ahmad Samih Khalidi said that the normalization deals between Arab states and Israel require that Palestinians rethink their approach to obtaining peace and statehood.“The prospects of securing ‘hard’ sovereignty, based on nineteenth-century notions of the nation-state, with full and complete control over land, borders, and resources, are remote,” they wrote.Palestinians may have to choose between the “self-defeating chimera of hard sovereignty” or “adopting softer versions,” they said.They argued that the pan-Arab confrontation with Israel was coming to a close with the agreements that had recently been signed between some countries and the Jewish state. In the meantime, the Palestinians, they warned, are being left behind.“It is plain that the Palestinians need a new approach—one founded on a reconsidered strategic vision and recalibrated aspiration,” Agha and Khalidi wrote. “It must redefine the Palestinian notion of sovereignty, review Palestinian views of security, and refrain from shirking responsibility or indulging in threats that are not credible.”“Under soft sovereignty, border security arrangements would need to be trilateral in both the West Bank (Jordanian, Israeli, and Palestinian) and Gaza (Egyptian, Israeli, and Palestinian),” they proposed.Jordan, through its history and geographical location, is inextricably tied to the West Bank, and Egypt, in a similar way, is tied to the Gaza Strip, they wrote.“New Egyptian and Jordanian roles can be effective supplements at a time when the Palestinians on their own have been unable to secure their land from further Israeli encroachment,” they said, calling for both those countries to be directly involved in any future peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.Both living in London, Agha and Khalidi have long been involved in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.In their Foreign Affairs op-ed they cited Israel’s recent normalization agreements with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco and wrote that Saudi Arabia has also taken “unprecedented steps in that direction.”Oman may also be set to normalize, while other Arab governments “maintain important, albeit discreet, ties with Israel.”“Further moves toward normalization appear to be only a matter of time,” they predicted, accusing the Arab governments that have already taken the step of acting out of self-interest.Normalization has undermined what was once a common Arab position, laid down in the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative based on land for peace, that ties to Israel would only be established after full withdrawal to pre-1967 lines. Israel, they said, now has little incentive for peace with the Palestinians.“Bereft of effective Arab strategic depth—that is, the willingness of Arab states to lend their backing to the Palestinian cause—the Palestinians must now think hard about how to reorder their struggle, how to address what has brought them to this point, and how to change it,” they said.They noted that initial Palestinian anger at the normalizations has faded and that the Palestinians themselves have weakened their ability to object by insisting on a national right to “independence of will.” Such a policy allows other nations to “claim the right to answer to their own sovereign will and forge their own path.”“In short, Palestinian diplomacy has failed massively,” they wrote. “It takes exceptional talent to transform an almost complete consensus among Arabs and Muslims on the future of Palestine and Jerusalem into just another matter on a packed Arab agenda.”But despite their skepticism of the normalization between Israel and Arab countries, the two speculated that future deals might offer opportunities for the Palestinians, including conditioning Saudi relations with Israel “on Israel’s ending its de facto annexation of the West Bank through its settlement expansions.”That view diverged from the one offered Monday in an op-ed in the Palestinian Al-Quds daily by a former top Saudi adviser who stressed that the kingdom would only normalize ties with Israel after the establishment of a fully independent Palestinian state.Agha and Khalidi also attacked the Palestine Liberation Organization, the official representative of the Palestinian people, as having “lost all credibility as a decision-making or representative body,” as outdated, as no longer reflecting the politics of Palestinian society, and as “retaining a zombie form” compared to the Palestinian Authority, which is the true political center.Yet they also reserved criticism for the PA, which “has hardly offered a seductive model of good government, better life, or greater freedom.”However, they praised Abbas as having greatly reduced the notion of “armed struggle” among broader Palestinian society.Peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians have been frozen since 2014.

The Telegraph-At least 15 dead and 400 missing after massive blaze sweeps Rohingya refugee camp-Nicola Smith-Tue, March 23, 2021, 6:53 AM

At least 15 people have died and 400 are still missing after a catastrophic fire ripped through a squalid camp in southeastern Bangladesh that houses nearly one million Rohingya refugees, the United Nations said on Tuesday.he blaze on Monday night was the third fire to hit the Cox's Bazar camps in four days and the largest since more than 700,000 destitute Rohingya flooded into the camp from Myanmar to escape a brutal military-led ethnic cleansing campaign in 2017."What we have seen in this fire is something we have never seen before in these camps. It is massive. It is devastating," Johannes van der Klaauw, the UN Refugee Agency's representative in Bangladesh, told reporters.He added that 560 were injured in the blaze that broke out in Balukhali camp. At least 10,000 shelters have been destroyed, leaving at least 45,000 people homeless.Hundreds of firefighters and aid workers battled until midnight to bring the flames under control as they were whipped up by a strong breeze, and to try to pull refugees to safety as families tried to salvage whatever belongings they could carry as they ran through plumes of smoke.“The fire spread so quickly that before we understood what happened, it caught our house. People were screaming and running here and there. Children were also running scattered, crying for their family. It is the most horrific incident I have witnessed recently,” said Tayeba Begum, a Save the Children volunteer.On Tuesday, as survivors and aid workers surveyed the charred ashes of shanties once constructed from tarp and bamboo, children were confirmed to be among the dead and missing.Onno Van Manen, Save the Children’s Bangladesh country director, called the disaster “another devastating blow” for the impoverished refugee population. “The risks of fires in these extremely densely populated and confined areas are enormous,” he said.The authorities are investigating the cause of the inferno. Some activists have suggested that barbed wire fencing constructed around the sprawling camp last year to control entry and exiting, could have left people trapped.“Those same fences may have cost refugees' lives in a devastating fire today. Dhaka should remove the fences immediately,” said Matthew Smith, CEO of Fortify Rights, a human rights group.Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions.
