Mikheil Kavelashvili, Georgia New President

by Admin Dec 15, 2024 Mikheil Kavelashvili,53, has been voted by the Georgian parliament as the next president of the country after a 17 days protest that crippled the country’s economic and political system. Mikheil Kavelashvili, 53, an ex-football player of Manchester City who played for the club for two years (1995-1997) emerged as the new Georgian president after 224 out of 225 members of the electoral college voted for him. Mikheil Kavelashvili, a former Member of Parliament from the authoritarian ruling Georgian Dream party was deemed the only candidate for the presidency. However, the other four main opposition parties bluntly rejected Kavelashvili as the President and boycotted parliament while insisting that the elections held in October were rigged. Salome Zourabichvili, the outgoing president of Georgia has been a critic of Kavelashvili and also condemned the October election that brought him as the President while she insisted that she is the only remaining legitimate constitutional leader of the country. On the other hand, Irakli Kobakhidze, the Prime Minister of Georgia has condemned the outgoing President for her derogatory remarks about the election, and Kavelashvili, the Prime Minister said Zourabichvili is acting in an authoritarian direction which is quite dangerous for the interest of the country. Kobakhidze said, “We have very strong state institutions, so we certainly have no difficulty in bringing the situation under full control”. Georgia is a country that practices a parliamentary democracy with the president the head of state, and the prime minister the head of Parliament. The country has been under constant protest after the parliament announced that the country’s accession to the European Union would be on hold until the year 2028. The decision by the parliament sparked raging nonstop protests for 17 days because the majority of Georgian citizens are in support of the country’s membership in the European Union.

The police further disclosed that the investigation included close allies of former President Jair Bolsonaro who were considered complicit in the failed attempted coup against President Lula. The investigation found that the former president, the former defense minister, and other close allies of the president in his administration tried to stop President Lula Da Silva’s inauguration after the 2022 presidential election. Paulo Gonet, the attorney general of Brazil said he has been going through the 884-page report that was submitted by the police against former President Jaie Bolsonaro and the 36 others named as co-conspirators. The 884-page report is drawn from a two-year thorough investigation carried out by the police. The police authorities are urging Attorney General Gonet to indict the former president and the 36 other accomplices involved in the failed coup attempt to stop the inauguration of President Lula and overthrow a democratic government. The police added that “The then-President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro, actively participated in the creation of the coup plan, being directly involved in the drafting of documents and strategies to remain in power, even after the electoral defeat”.

South Korean Parliament Impeach President Yeon After Failed Martial Law

President Suk Yeon of South Korea

by Admin Dec 14, 2024 Things have finally fallen apart for the embattled South Korean President Yeon after the Parliament voted him out of office on Saturday after the South Korean President escaped a first impeachment trial last weekend after he invoked martial law which failed after the parliament voted against it. President Yeon has been under fire since last week and has fought tooth and nail to cling to power after a failed martial law which backfired on him and caused a wild mass protest against him by the South Korean citizens as thousands took to the streets of Seoul the capital of the country. The protests began on the very night President Yeon declared martial law and saw thousands of South Koreans storm the parliament building to prevent the soldiers from taking over the parliament building and disrupting the lawmakers from voting against the president’s veto declaration of Martial Law. President Yeon had initially struck a deal to shorten the length of his term and also stay clear of local and international affairs of the country for him to remain as the president, a deal which didn’t go down well with some of his allies who resigned from their positions as a sign of protest against the deal and the treatment of the President as a second class citizen. A total number of 204 members of parliament approved the motion to impeach President Yeon. The failed martial law enforcement brought a storm of political crisis that has left President Yeon and his allies under a scrutinized investigation. In a different turn of events, the South Korean police stormed the presidential building in an attempt to search the president’s office but were met with stiff resistance from the presidential bodyguards that prevented the police from having access to the president’s office. Han Duck-soo, the Prime Minister of South Korea is expected to take over the country after President Yeon steps down as the President. The prime minister in his first speech after the impeachment of President Yeon said, “I will devote all my strength and effort to the stable operation of state affairs”. The prime minister is expected to hold an ad hoc cabinet meeting today. President Yeon in his acceptance speech of accepting the impeachment decision said, “Though I stop for now, the journey to the future I’ve walked for the past two and half years must never stop. I will never give up. I will take your criticism, praise, and support to heart and do my best for the country until the end.” Lee Jae-Myung, the leader of the opposition party in his speech to protesters outside the parliament building said “Today is proof that you are the owner of this country”. President Yeon is currently expected to be suspended from presidential duties as well as relinquishing all presidential rights until his full impeachment process is completed.

P.Diddy Accused Of Rape By Three Men

Sean P. Diddy Combs

by Admin Dec 13, 2024 A new turn of events in the Sean “P.Diddy” Combs sexual abuse scandal case has been going on for the past three months. Three new men have come forward to lay allegations of rape against the music mogul, alleging that the rapper drugged them and sexually abused them. The three men filed a separate lawsuit against the business mogul on Thursday in federal prosecutors in New York. The lawsuit reveals that the crime was committed between 2019 and 2022. Two of the men reported that they attended a party with P.Diddy and he offered them alcoholic drinks which made them unconscious and they woke up to find out that the rapper had raped them. In the defense of P.Diddy, his lawyers said that the new claims against their client were nothing but false accusations, they said “We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him”. However, the attorney for the three men Thomas Giuffra, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of them revealed that 60 different people have approached his office to file separate lawsuits against the rapper while most of the charges are sexual harassment allegations. Thomas Giuffra said his office swung into action and investigated the allegations against the rapper and decided to proceed with the three men’s claims. He further revealed that the men chose to remain anonymous because of fear of being identified and threatened by the associates of Mr. Sean Combs. In a separate lawsuit filed against Mr Combs, another anonymous plaintiff claimed that the rapper sexually assaulted him during an encounter in 2019 at Marquee nightclub in New York. The plaintiff who is referred to as John Doe, said, that he and 10 other people had joined Mr. Combs for a private after-party and he was given a drink by the musician, he became dizzy and unconscious but drifted in and out of sub-conscious and it was during the moment he found out that he was being raped by Mr. Combs while he saw a man and woman recording the incident. He further said that the couple later approached him and gave him $2500 and told him the money was from Mr. Combs. However, Mr. Sean Combs has been denied bail three times and is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Mobs Lynched and Hangs Three In Mexico For Robbery

Mexican Police

by Admin Dec 11, 2024 The citizens of San Juan Amecac County took laws into their own hands when they caught three men accused of robbing a lady of her belongings at a roadside. The men were beaten and hung up over a bridge till they gave up the ghost. The incident which was confirmed in a statement issued by the local government of San Juan Amecac said that “Three men died after being detained and lynched by residents for the alleged robbery and kidnapping of a minor.” The police responded to the incident late to save the lives of the victims who were lynched by over 300 people. The police said when they arrived at the scene the men appeared to show no signs of life in their bodies. Lynching has drastically increased in Mexico in recent years since the rise of crime and violence has increased dramatically due to the rise in cartel violence. In June, four men were lynched and then burned in the nearby city of Atlixco by a crowd that accused them of stealing a vehicle. Also in March, a woman was lynched and killed by the people who accused her of murdering an 8-year-old girl, while two men who were also involved in the murder were able to escape. In 2022, a political adviser was lynched and burned to death over the allegations of child trafficking shared via a chat group. However, an awful incident happened in 2018 when two innocent men were lynched and burned to ashes over a false allegation that they were child abductors. The case drew widespread condemnation but no one was prosecuted for the crime. Mexico has witnessed a surge in violence since the beginning of the year with different cartel clashes and public executions of political figures.

Police Raid South Korean President Office After Failed Martial Law

South Korean Police Tussling with the Presidential Guards

by Admin Dec 11, 2024 The South Korean police attempted a raid on President Yoon Suk Yeol’s office on Wednesday afternoon, a failed attempt by the president to impose martial law on the country last week. The police gained control over the building but failed to gain access into the president’s office which was guarded by security guards who were stationed at the presidential building. Eighteen investigators were sent from the Judicial Bureau to the presidential office on Wednesday to take over records related to the cabinet meeting held on the night of the martial law declaration. A list of the people that are to be investigated by the Judicial Bureau had the names of the president and the former minister of defense Kim Yong-hyun, who took responsibility for the declaration of martial law and has been arrested for treason. However, Kim Yong-Hyun attempted to commit suicide earlier on Tuesday night but was saved by the officers on duty who were able to restrain him from committing suicide. In a statement released by the Ministry of Defense to the Parliament, it was revealed that the former defense minister is fine and has no threat of life injuries. In protest of the decision made by the Judicial Commission to investigate the president, many officials who are allies of President Yoel have resigned from their positions and have tagged the investigation as a political “witch hunt” against the president who refused to resign after his failed martial law. In addition to the political crisis in the country, the ruling party decided to boycott a general vote to demand the resignation of President Yeon after he made a deal to reduce his presidential term and stay clear of any foreign or local affairs. The deal made by President Yeon did not deter the protesters from the streets and still calling for his resignation. Also, Park Chan-dae, the leader of the opposition party who also has a majority of seats in the parliament, criticized the deal and called it “an illegal, unconstitutional second insurrection and a second coup”.

Ukraine Used ATAMAC-S to Destroy Russian Oil Depot

ATACM-S MISSILES

by Admin Dec 11, 2024 Ukraine carried out overnight airstrikes on Russia’s military airfield and oil depots in the Azoz Sea region using the United States ATAMAC-S missiles for the third time this year since President Biden gave Ukraine the green light to attack Russian territory with United States missiles. The Russian Defence Ministry confirmed the incident, saying that a Pantsir missile defense system shot down two of the missiles fired by Ukraine and the rest were destroyed by electronic warfare. In a statement issued by the Ministry, it said “On the morning of December 11, 2024, the Kyiv regime launched a missile strike with Western precision weapons at the Taganrog military airfield in the Rostov region.” The statement further stated that “This attack by Western long-range weapons will not go unanswered and appropriate measures will be taken.” The Russian government has threatened to retaliate against Ukraine with utmost measures for the use of United States missiles to attack its territory. We can recall that on Nov 21 the Russian government retaliated against Ukraine by using a newly created hypersonic ballistic missile called “Oreshnik” to strike Ukrainian territory after the Ukrainian military used United States ATAMAC-S missiles to attack Russian territory. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the introduction of the new hypersonic ballistic missile is a direct response to the United States’ threat of allowing Ukraine to use its missiles to attack deep into Russian territory. However, United States officials have ruled out that the Russian new hypersonic ballistic missiles would not change the outcome of the war against Ukraine. Vladimir Putin said that the United States and its Western allies are interested in the escalation of the conflict rather than looking for a diplomatic alternative to de-escalate the war and Russia is willing to take all possible measures to ensure a total Russian victory in Ukraine. As the war rages on into what most experts consider to be the final and most dangerous phase the world looks towards the newly elected president of the United States, Donald Trump to find a way to quench the tension in the war. However, President Trump has threatened that he will ensure that the United States will cease being a member of NATO. In his recent interview with NBCS, the newly elected president said he would reduce the United States donations to Ukraine.

Syrian Rebels Names Al Bashar as the New Interim Prime Minister

Syrian New Prime Minister, Mohammed Al- Bashir

by Admin Dec 10, 2024 After the swift collapse of the Assad government and his subsequent departure to Moscow, the Syrian HTS rebels have begun to assemble a new government and have chosen Mohammed Al-Bashir as the country’s caretaker prime minister. Al-Bashir, who is the head of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham-led de facto government in Idlib province is expected to lead the new Syrian transitional government as the interim prime minister until March 1, 2025. This was disclosed during his televised speech on Tuesday morning in Damascus. The decision was made after a close meeting between the Syrian rebel cabinet and the Assad government officials on Monday. Al- Bashar in his speech said “Today we had a meeting for the cabinet and we invited members from the old government and some directors from the administration in Idlib and its surrounding areas, to facilitate all the necessary works for the next two months until we have a constitutional system to be able to serve the Syrian people.” The new Syrian interim prime minister further explains that “We had other meetings to restart the institutions to be able to serve our people in Syria”. Al Bashar who has been in charge of the Syrian Salvation Government (SSG) in the Idlib province of Syria with the leadership of the HTS rebels helped organize the 12 days offensive campaign that brought down the Assad government after 50 years of the Assad family reign in the country. Al-Bashir, who has previously held the role of development minister in the SSG now has the task of leading a war-torn country with different factions seeking help from different foreign governments. Prodesq gathered that the new Syrian Prime Minister Bashir is a trained electrical engineer, who later received a degree in sharia and law, and has also held several posts in the educational sector. The SSG, which has its ministries, departments, judicial and security authorities, was established in the northwest bastion of Idlib in 2017 to create a buffer between the people in the rebel-held area who were cut off from government services. However, Ahmed al-Sharaa the leader of the HTS rebel Mohammed Ghazi Al Jalali the outgoing prime minister of the Assad government in Damascus, both discussed the handling of power in the transitional period. The news of the appointment of Al Bashar was met with a wide celebration around Damascus, the Syrian capital.
