  • A beginner’s guide to Philippine feminism

    Sister #Mary_John_Mananzan, the co-founder of women’s organization Gabriela, was a political activist in the Philippines before she became a feminist.

    It was only when she went to a women’s conference in Venice, Austria and heard discussions about incest and wife-beating that she felt the need to call herself a feminist. “It dawned on me, ‘My goodness these [abuses] are in the Philippines too,” she says. “[I realized] you cannot have a social transformation unless this gender question is resolved.”

    Another known feminist, #Ging_Deles, who helped develop one of the first laws protecting women in the Philippines, got into feminism in the ‘80s. She says that she was working in the social development sector, but after meetings of bigger social development conferences, women began gathering together. Through these smaller get-togethers, it became clear how the issues of women were largely different from men, urging them to further push for women’s rights.

    Mich Dulce, a designer and co-founder of the women’s community collective Grrrl Gang, shares that she got into feminism because of music. In a previous interview with CNN Philippines Life, she said: “The [feminist music movement of the ‘60s] was what led me to become a feminist. I was not born ‘woke.’ I lived in a bubble for such a long time.”

    Deles, Mananzan, and Dulce all call themselves feminists and yet they all had different access points to feminism. We all come from diverse contexts, so if you’re looking for an entry point towards understanding the women’s movement in the Philippines, here’s a list of literature, films, and video discussions that you can consume:

    “The Woman Question in the Philippines”

    According to Gantala Press’ Faye Cura, this booklet by Sr. Mary John Mananzan offers an introduction to the state of women in the Philippines. “It contextualizes the oppression of Filipinas within the country’s colonial/neocolonial history,” she says. “It [also] discusses the challenges faced by women today — inequality and discrimination, gender-based violence, trafficking, and poverty, as well as Filipina women’s constant efforts to overcome these through feminism and the women’s movement.”

    “Daloy I” and “Daloy II”

    Batis AWARE (Association of Women in Action for Rights and Empowerment) is an organization that advocates for the rights of Filipino migrant women. In 2016, together with the publishing outfit Youth and Beauty Brigade, Batis AWARE published “Daloy 1,” a zine that features writings of Filipino migrant women. In 2018, Batis AWARE and YBB published “Daloy 2,” which dives deeper into the issues of Filipino migrant women — their day-to-day struggles, the abuses they face, and the continuous fight for their rights, among others.

    “Centennial Crossings: Readings on Babaylan Feminism in the Philippines”

    While there is a scarcity of recorded historical data on pre-colonial Philippines, there have been pieces of literature that reveal the central role women play during this era. A significant icon of pre-colonial Philippines is the babaylan, a healer or shaman who is usually a woman. In the book “Centennial Crossings: Readings on Babaylan Feminism in the Philippines,” the editors Fe Mangahas and Jenny Llaguno shine a light on how babaylanism is the inherent source of a Filipina’s strength and that babaylanism may perhaps be the forebearer of the women’s movement in the country.

    “Amazons of the Huk Rebellion: Gender, Sex, and Revolution in the Philippines”

    Written by Vina Lanzona, this book details how women in the Philippines were central to the revolution against Japanese occupation. “[This] provides an in-depth narration and analysis of the life and heroism of women warriors of the Hukbong Bayan Laban sa Hapon (Hukbalahap),” says Faye Cura. “[It begins] at the onset of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines until after the war has ended and the ‘Amazons’ were vilified in popular imagination. A must-read for all Filipinos.”

    ... and so on...

  • Israël veut mettre Gaza à genoux
    Abdel Bari Atwan - 11 août 2018 – Raï al-Yaoum – Traduction : Chronique de Palestine
    http://www.chroniquepalestine.com/israel-veut-mettre-gaza-a-genoux

    L’accord visant à instaurer le « calme » à Gaza a en réalité pour objectif d’affirmer une domination israélienne absolue.

    De nombreuses personnes à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de la bande de Gaza s’attendaient à une annonce imminente du Caire concernant un accord « pour le calme » conclu entre le Hamas et l’État d’occupation israélien par le biais de la médiation égyptienne.

    Deux jours de raids aériens israéliens ont non seulement dissipé ces attentes, mais ont également révélé le véritable visage et les véritables objectifs d’Israël. Sa poursuite des tueries et des destructions visait à montrer que l’armée israélienne a toujours le dessus, que les négociations ne sont pas entre deux parties égales et que le prétendu accord est plutôt un diktat affirmant une domination israélienne absolue.

    Ce sont les dirigeants israéliens qui ont entamé la dernière escalade. Elle a délibérément cherché à humilier les membres du bureau politique exilés du Hamas venus de l’étranger pour discuter des termes de l’accord et formuler leur approbation finale par l’intermédiaire des dirigeants égyptiens. Les avions de combat israéliens ont perpétré un nouveau massacre dont les victimes comprenaient la famille Abu-Khammash. Trois de ses membres ont été mis en pièces par les missiles israéliens qui ont pénétré dans le toit de leur modeste maison à Deir al-Balah : Inas Abu-Khammash, enceinte de six mois d’une petite-fille, et sa fille, Bayan. Le père de Bayan a été blessé et leur voisin Ali Ghandour a été tué. Je connais cette famille, comme je connais la plupart des familles de cette ville immuable, car je suis née dans son camp de réfugiés. (...)

  • The late Inas and Bayan Khammash
    Haaretz.com - Gideon Levy - Aug 12, 2018 2:50 AM
    Imagine the reaction if Hamas had killed a pregnant Israeli woman and her baby daughter. But Inas and Bayan were Palestinians from Dir al-Balah

    https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-the-late-inas-and-bayan-khammash-1.6365468

    For Uri Avnery

    While the thirst for blood overtook social media; while commentator Shimon Riklin tweeted, “We want you to kill terrorists, and as many as possible, until the cries of their families overcome their sick murderousness”; while Minister Yoav Galant, a man whose hands are stained with a great deal of Gazan blood, declared with Biblical lyricism, “I’ll pursue my enemies and catch them, I won’t come back until they’re finished”; while Yair Lapid was writing, “The IDF must hit them with all its force, without hesitating, without thinking” – while all this was happening, Inas and Bayan Khammash were killed.

    They were mother and daughter. Inas was 23, in her ninth month of pregnancy; Bayan was an 18-month-old baby. They were killed when a missile hit their home, a rented apartment in a one-story building in Dir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip. The father of the family, Mohammed, was seriously wounded.

    Their killing didn’t slake the thirst for blood on social media in the slightest. It barely earned a mention in the mainstream Israeli media, which were far more concerned by the cancellation of a wedding in Sderot. That’s always Israel’s order of priorities.

    It’s not that the suffering of residents of Israeli communities near Gaza shouldn’t be given abundant coverage, but the complete disregard for the victims on the other side, even the killing of a pregnant mother and her daughter, is an act of collaboration with wartime propaganda. The complete public indifference to every killing, coupled with the thirst for blood that has become politically correct, is also evidence of an unparalleled nadir.

    It’s not hard to imagine what would have happened, both in Israel and abroad, if Hamas had killed a pregnant Israeli woman and her baby daughter. But Inas and Bayan were Palestinians from Dir al-Balah.

    Are there still any Israelis who glanced for a moment at their own loved ones and imagined the atrocity of killing a pregnant mother with her baby in her arms? Does the thought still pass through anyone’s mind here that Inas and Bayan were a pregnant mother and her baby daughter, like the neighbors across the way? Like your daughter and granddaughter. Like your wife and daughter.

    Can thoughts like these still arise even for a moment, given the onslaught of dehumanization, propaganda and brainwashing, which justifies any killing and blames the entire world, with the sole exception of those who committed it? Given the media, most of which just wants to see more and more blood being spilled in Gaza, and even does everything in its power so that blood will actually be spilled? Given the usual excuses that the Israel Defense Forces never intend to hit a pregnant woman and her daughter, they merely happen to do so, again and again and again and again?

    Given all this, is there still any chance that the killing of a mother and daughter will shock anyone here? That it will touch anyone?

    For almost 12 years, Gaza has been closed to Israeli journalists on Israel’s orders, and Israel’s fighting media accepts this submissively, even gladly. How badly I wish I could go to Inas and Bayan’s house right now, to tell their story and, above all, to remind the reader that they were human beings, people – a very difficult thing to do in the atmosphere of today’s Israel.

    On one of our last trips to Gaza, in September 2006, photographer Miki Kratsman and I went to the Hammad family’s house in the Brazil refugee camp in Rafah. A huge crater had opened up a few hundred meters from the miserable tin shack we entered. In the dim room, we saw nothing but a crushed wheelchair and a crippled woman lying on the sofa.

    A few nights earlier, the family heard airplanes overhead. Basma, then 42 and completely paralyzed, was lying in her iron bed. She quickly told her only daughter, 14-year-old Dam al-Iz, to rush to her so she could protect the girl with her own body. A concrete roof crashed down on them and killed Dam, her only daughter, who was lying curled up in her mother’s arms.

    Ever since Inas and Bayan were killed, I’ve been thinking about Dam al-Iz and her mother again.

    Le porte-parole du ministère israélien des Affaires étrangères, Emmanuel Nahshon, a publié jeudi au nom de l’Etat hébreu, une plainte cinglante contre les informations de la BBC concernant un article annonçant en Une la mort d’une femme gazaouïe enceinte et de sa fille dans des raids israéliens, sans mentionner les 150 roquettes tirées mercredi soir par l’organisation terroriste Hamas sur Israël.

    L’article en question, publié sur le fil Twitter du service d’information de la BBC World, titrait « Les frappes aériennes israéliennes tuent une femme enceinte et son bébé », faisant référence à la mort d’Enas Khammash, 23 ans, et de sa fille Bayan dans une frappe qui a eu lieu jeudi soir à Jafarawi, dans le centre de Gaza.

    "Ce titre est une déformation délibérée de la réalité (ce qui est l’équivalent poli de « ceci est un MENSONGE », si vous ne l’aviez pas compris)", s’est-il révolté dans un tweet.

  • » Israeli Missiles Kill A Pregnant Palestinian Mother And Her Child In Northern Gaza
    IMEMC News - August 9, 2018 4:33 AM
    http://imemc.org/article/israeli-missiles-kill-a-palestinian-mother-and-her-child-in-northern-gaza

    The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that Israeli army missiles have killed a pregnant Palestinian mother, and her infant daughter, 18 months of age, in central Gaza. The mother was nine months pregnant.

    Dr. Ashraf al-Qedra, the spokesperson of the Health Ministry in Gaza, has confirmed that the soldiers killed a pregnant woman, identified as Enas Mohammad Abu Khammash, 23 , and her child Bayan Abu Khammash, 18 months , in their home in al-Ja’farawi area, in Gaza’s Central District.

    He added that the bombardment also caused moderate wounds to Enas’s husband, Mohammad Khammash.

    Furthermore, the soldiers injured at least twelve Palestinians in ongoing Israeli bombardment of several parts of the Gaza Strip, and earlier killed one Palestinian, identified as Ali al-Ghandour, 30.

      (...) L’une des zones touchées durant la nuit dans la ville de Gaza était Deir al-Balah, où Inas – enceinte de près de neuf mois d’une petite fille – son mari Mohammed et leur fillette Bayan vivent depuis avril 2017.

      Mercredi, la famille avait décidé de dormir dans le salon sur un balcon donnant sur un petit jardin, ce qui permet à l’air frais d’entrer dans le petit appartement, surtout pendant les chaudes nuits d’été où l’électricité fait le plus souvent défaut.

      Vers 2 heures du matin, deux puissantes explosions ont été entendues, ont indiqué des voisins à Al Jazeera.

      « Dès que j’ai entendu, j’ai su que l’attaque visait la maison de Mohammed », a déclaré Khalid Abu Sanjar, l’un des nombreux voisins qui se sont précipités sur les lieux. (...)

  • The United States Was Responsible for the 1982 Massacre of Palestinians in Beirut | The Nation

    https://www.thenation.com/article/the-united-states-was-responsible-for-the-1982-massacre-of-palestinians-i

    On the night of September 16, 1982, my younger brother and I were baffled as we watched dozens of Israeli flares floating down in complete silence over the southern reaches of Beirut, for what seemed like an eternity. We knew that the Israeli army had rapidly occupied the western part of the city two days earlier. But flares are used by armies to illuminate a battlefield, and with all the PLO fighters who had resisted the Israeli army during the months-long siege of the city already evacuated from Beirut, we went to bed perplexed, wondering what enemy was left for the occupying army to hunt.

    This was a little more than a month after the August 12 cease-fire that had supposedly ended the war, and was followed by the departure of the PLO’s military forces, cadres, and leadership from the city. The trigger for Israel’s occupation of West Beirut was the assassination on September 14 of Israel’s close ally and Lebanese President-elect Bashir Gemayel, head of the Lebanese Front militia and a top leader of the fascist-modeled Phalangist party.

    What we had seen the night before became clear when we met two American journalists on September 17. They had just visited the scene of ongoing massacres in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, home to tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians as well as many Lebanese. They had taken with them into the camps a young American diplomat, Ryan Crocker, who was the first US government official to file a report on what they had seen. We found out from them that the Israeli army had used flares the previous night in order to light the way for the right-wing Lebanese militias whom the Israelis sent into Sabra and Shatila. From September 16 to 18, according to historian Bayan al-Hout’s authoritative account of this event, these militiamen slaughtered over 1,300 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians (for more on these and related events, see the revised 2014 edition of my book Under Siege: PLO Decisionmaking During the 1982 War).

  • 75 Palestiniens tués par les forces israéliennes depuis le 1er octobre
    IMEMC News, le 5 novembre 2015
    http://www.agencemediapalestine.fr/blog/2015/11/06/75-palestiniens-tues-par-les-forces-israeliennes-depuis-le-1er-

    Les tirs de soldats israéliens sur un jeune Palestinien d’Hébron mercredi ont porté à 75 le nombre de Palestiniens mis à mort depuis le 1er octobre.

    57 tués en Cisjordanie, 17 dans la Bande de Gaza et un dans le Néguev. Plus de 20 % de ces tués étaient des enfants.

    Le Ministère de la Santé a dit au début de cette semaine que 2.355 Palestiniens ont été atteints par des balles réelles et des balles d’acier enrobé de caoutchouc, beaucoup d’entre eux souffrant de fractures et de contusions à la suite de coups répétés assénés par les soldats et les colons paramilitaires en Cisjordanie, dont Jérusalem occupée.

    Le Ministère a ajouté que 1.125 de ces blessés palestiniens ont été frappés à balles réelles (dont 732 en Cisjordanie) et 975 ont été frappés par des balles d’acier enrobé de caoutchouc (865 en Cisjordanie), et plus de 5.000 Palestiniens ont souffert des effets de l’inhalation de gaz lacrymogènes.

    235 Palestiniens ont été blessés après avoir été agressés et battus par des soldats et des colons paramilitaires, et 20 l’ont été par des bombes incendiaires et des grenades à percussion.

    Dans la Bande de Gaza, 393 Palestiniens ont été atteints par des tirs à balles réelles, 110 par des balles d’acier enrobé de caoutchouc, et des dizaines ont souffert des effets de l’inhalation de gaz lacrymogènes.

    Le nombre d’enfants blessés en Cisjordanie est de 325 ; 165 ont été atteints par des balles réelles, 108 par des balles d’acier enrobé de caoutchouc, 19 ont été directement touchés par des bombes lacrymogènes, 33 ont été battus par les soldats. A Gaza, 170 enfants ont été touchés, la plupart à balles réelles.

    Vendredi 30 octobre, un bébé palestinien est mort de suffocation à Bethléem, après un tir israélien de gaz lacrymogène, le lendemain du jour où les forces israéliennes avaient envahi un faubourg de Bethléem en criant « Nous vous gazerons tous à mort ».

    HEBRON (Ma’an) — Two Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces on Saturday evening after allegedly carrying out separate stabbing attacks in Hebron and Qalandia in the occupied West Bank.

    Their deaths bring the total number of Palestinians killed on Saturday to five, in each case after they allegedly attempted to carry out stabbing attacks, although Palestinian sources have contested that at least one of those attacks actually took place.

    In central Hebron, a Palestinian was shot and critically wounded after he allegedly stabbed and moderately injured an Israeli soldier on Shuhada Street in the Old City.

    The Palestinian was taken to Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem where he succumbed to his wounds, a hospital spokesperson said.

    Israeli media reported that the Israel soldier was stabbed in the shoulder, and an Israeli army spokesperson said he had been evacuated for medical treatment.

    Meanwhile, at Qalandia checkpoint to the south of Ramallah, a Palestinian man was shot dead after he allegedly stabbed and injured an Israeli border police officer.

    Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld alleged that the Palestinian was shot with the “knife in his hand.”

    Israeli army spokesperson Peter Lerner said on Twitter that the Palestinian man was shot twice — once after stabbing an officer, and again after drawing “a second knife.”

    Rosenfeld said that the area had been closed off, and there were reports from locals that the checkpoint has been closed.

    Earlier on Saturday, 17-year-old Bayan al-Esseili was shot dead by Israeli forces after allegedly stabbing an Israeli police officer in Hebron, near the illegal Kiryat Arba settlement.

  • Third Palestinian shot dead after alleged attacks in Hebron, Jerusalem
    Oct. 17, 2015 12:48 P.M. (Updated: Oct. 17, 2015 3:20 P.M.)

    BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A Palestinian teen was shot dead Saturday by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron after allegedly stabbing an Israeli border police officer in the third alleged attack of the day.

    Palestinian locals said that Israeli forces opened fire at the woman close to the the Wadi al-Ghrus area near the illegal Kiryat Arba settlement.

    The teen was identified as 17-year-old Bayan Ayman Abd al-Hadi al-Esseili .

    Her family told Ma’an they were informed by Israeli authorities that their daughter had been killed after she stabbed a soldier.

    A border police woman sustained light injuries to her hand, according to Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld, who reported that a “female terrorist was shot at the scene.”

    Fadil Qawasmi , 18, was shot dead by an Israeli settler earlier Saturday morning on Shuhada Street in Hebron’s Old City, hours before a 16-year-old Palestinian was shot dead in occupied East Jerusalem.

    Both teens were shot dead for carrying out alleged attacks. No Israelis were injured in either incident.

    As Palestinians may only access Shuhada Street by passing through an Israeli military checkpoint with a metal detector, suspicions are being raised as to whether Qawasmi could have been carrying a knife at the time of the alleged attack.

    Local Palestinians are prevented from accessing the street in order to “secure” the area for around 600 Jewish settlers who have taken over homes and evicted residents in the area. The few Palestinian residents left living in the area must access homes from the back.

    Saturday’s attacks have brought the total number of Palestinians killed since the beginning of the month to 40. Seven Israelis have been killed by Palestinians in the same time period.

  • Saudi clerics slam ’Western-Russian’ Syria alliance | GlobalPost
    http://www.globalpost.com/article/6663680/2015/10/06/saudi-clerics-slam-western-russian-syria-alliance

    More than 50 Saudi clerics on Tuesday called for Islamic states to militarily back rebels against the “Western-Russian alliance” in Syria, a week after Moscow’s warplanes began air strikes there.

    “The mujahedeen... are defending the entire ummah (Islamic community). Trust them and give them moral, financial, military and political support,” said a statement signed by 55 Saudi clerics speaking out against the “crusader alliance”.

    Bien peu de monde s’intéresse à cette déclaration de 50 religieux saoudiens, qui pourrait pourtant donner à croire que leur pays est étroitement lié aux jihadisme en Syrie.

    Qu’en pensent nos dirigeants tellement amis de l’Arabie saoudite ?

  • Family: Israeli settler shoots, injures 6-year-old Palestinian

    QALQILIYA (Ma’an) — A suspected Israeli settler shot and critically injured a 6-year-old Palestinian near the occupied West Bank city of Qalqiliya, relatives said.

    Yousef Bayan al-Tabib was standing on the side of the road when the settler reportedly stopped his car, shot the child in the stomach, and fled the scene, relatives of the boy told Ma’an.

    The child, from the small Palestinian village of Izbeit at-Tabib — in Area C and around six miles east of Qalqiliya — was taken to the Qalqiliya Hospital for treatment.

    An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that the army had received reports of the attack and that Israeli forces had arrived on scene and were “investigating any indication that the attack happened.”

    The occupied West Bank was rocked by settler attacks on Palestinians and their property on Thursday night and Friday after a fatal shooting attack was carried out by alleged Palestinian gunmen.

    The attack left Israeli settlers Eitam and Naama Henkin dead in their car as they were driving in the Nablus area of the northern West Bank.

    • Cisjordanie : 10 Palestiniens blessés par balles dans un raid de l’armée

      Naplouse (Territoires palestiniens) - L’armée israélienne a poursuivi samedi sa traque des meurtriers d’un couple de colons en Cisjordanie occupée, et mené un raid à Naplouse au cours duquel dix Palestiniens ont été blessés par balles, selon des sources médicales et policières palestiniennes.

      Comme à chaque opération militaire israélienne, des Palestiniens ont protesté et des heurts ont éclaté, des jeunes jetant des pierres sur les soldats israéliens qui ont répliqué par des tirs de balles en caoutchouc, de grenades lacrymogènes et de balles réelles. Ces heurts se sont poursuivis après la fin des perquisitions, a constaté un photographe de l’AFP.

      Selon le Croissant-Rouge palestinien, dix personnes ont été touchées par des balles tirées dans les jambes ou le ventre, et quatre personnes ont été blessées après avoir reçu des coups.

      Les violences ont débuté lorsque des dizaines de soldats israéliens à bord de véhicules militaires sont entrés vers 02H00 du matin (vendredi à 23H00 GMT) dans le quartier de Dahiyeh, dans l’est de Naplouse, près du lieu de l’attaque qui a coûté la vie jeudi soir à un couple de colons, selon la police palestinienne.

      Les soldats ont arrêté huit personnes et mené des perquisitions, pénétrant de force dans les maisons et y causant des dégâts, a ajouté la même source.

      Interrogée par l’AFP, une porte-parole militaire n’a pas été en mesure de donner des informations sur l’opération menée à Naplouse.

      Par ailleurs, des affrontements sporadiques entre Palestiniens et une dizaine de colons se sont produits dans l’après-midi près du village de Bourin dans le nord de la Cisjordanie. Des colons venus notamment de l’implantation voisine d’Yitzhar ont lancé des pierres vers des Palestiniens qui ont répliqué de la même façon.

      Des soldats israéliens, qui se trouvaient au milieu, ont tiré des grenades lacrymogène en direction des Palestiniens, a constaté une journaliste de l’AFP.

      Les tensions, déjà fortes en Cisjordanie occupée, ont été ravivées après la mort des deux colons abattus par des tirs alors qu’ils roulaient à bord de leur voiture à proximité d’une colonie israélienne proche de Naplouse.

  • Ethiopia studies Mongolia’s artisanal mining | The UB Post
    http://ubpost.mongolnews.mn/?p=16066#comment-50024

    Representatives led by the Minister of Mining of Ethiopia, Tewodros Gebregzabher, are paying a seven-day visit to Mongolia to become acquainted with the nation’s artisanal mining industry and policies.
    On Tuesday, the Ethiopian delegation was received by the Ministry of Mining of Mongolia and introduced to the conventional and artisanal mining sector’s current conditions, as well as its legal environment and achievements.
    During their visit, the delegation will meet representatives from governmental and non-governmental mining organizations to exchange experience on legalizing and formalizing micro-mining, defining its economic contributions, as well as on land reclamation, and the working conditions of micro-miners.
    The Ethiopian team is also studying health and social insurance accessibility for micro-miners in Mongolia. They will meet micro-miners in Bayankhongor Province’s Bayan-Ovoo soum and visit the Monpolymet Group, which is engaged in gold mining land reclamation in Zaamar soum, Tuv Province. The delegation will also become acquainted with the progress of a sustainable micro-mining project which is being implemented in Mongolia with the aid from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

    Mongol News spoke with the Chairman of the Policy Coordination Department of the Ministry of Mining, B.Batkhuu, regarding Mongolia and Ethiopia’s micro-mining conditions.

    Major representatives of the Mongolian micro-mining sectors are small gold mining companies and individuals. A law on micro-mining was also approved to support them, but gold delivery to Mongol Bank is not increasing. Can you explain why?
    It is directly related to poor government policy. Gold reserves at Mongol Bank have drastically decreased, because of the 68 percent tax that was being imposed. At the beginning of 2000, gold delivered to Mongol Bank reached 20 tons, and it dropped to two tons as a result of this tax.
    Some companies were also illegally exporting gold to foreign countries. It was a good decision to cancel the tax in order to keep gold in the country. Now gold reserves are gradually increasing.

    En commentaire Satoshi Murao, cette mention de la mise en place de mesures anti-#ninjas dont je n’ai pas trace pour le moment.

    Mongolia is spearheading countermeasures on the artisanal/small-scale gold mining (ASGM) and the experiences should be shared with the world like this news.

  • Kuwait appoints new electricity minister - Politics & Economics - ArabianBusiness.com
    http://www.arabianbusiness.com/kuwait-appoints-new-electricity-minister-586415.html

    Ahmad Khaled Ahmad Al Jassar has been appointed as Kuwait’s electricity minister days after the former minister stepped down over a black-out.
    The former Kuwait Petroleum Corporation board member was sworn in at the Bayan Palace in front of Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah and Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al Mubarak Al Hamad Al Sabah.
    Abdulaziz Al Ibrahim resigned from the post last week, a month after a widespread power cut hit the Gulf state, although that was not formally given as the reason for his stepping down.
    Kuwait experienced a widespread power outage on February 11. At the time, Ibrahim had attributed the outage to a technical failure at a power station.
