Empty Shabbat table on National Mall showcases human toll of Middle East conflict

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:51:34 GMT

They don’t have a name. They don’t have an affiliation. But they’re hard to miss, especially with a multi-yard Shabbat table on D.C.’s National Mall.A group of concerned D.C. citizens set up a table Friday evening for Shabbat, or the Jewish sabbath, leaving more than 240 seats empty to represent those still missing after being taken hostage in the current conflict in the Middle East.The grassroot community organization flies flags from many nations at their dinner table and has both Jewish and non-Jewish members. They say all they want is an end to the bloodshed.“We’d love to have a peaceful resolution,” said group leader Ron Sokolov. “We’d love for there to be peace in Israel. Peace in the Middle East. And peace for Palestinians and the Jews in Israel.”Sokolov is the de facto leader of this grassroots community group, which he said sprung up organically through networking and word-of-mouth. He said they want to make it clear they’re not taking sides, or poli...

Taliban appeal to Afghan private sector to help those fleeing Pakistan’s mass deportation drive

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:51:34 GMT

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The Taliban Saturday appealed to Afghanistan’s private sector to help people fleeing Pakistan’s mass deportation drive.Pakistan is arresting and expelling all foreigners it says are in the country illegally, but the policy mostly affects Afghans because they are the biggest group of undocumented foreigners in the country.The Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Kabul urged Afghanistan’s private sector to step forward and help.Afghans forcibly expelled from Pakistan are facing the worst situation of their lives, with no opportunities, the ministry said. “The ministry invites the private sector to take action because of the profound humanitarian disaster caused by the forced migration of hundreds of thousands of the poor and needy. It is the duty of Islam and Afghans to stand up for their fellow countrymen.”Afghanistan is overwhelmed by challenges, including years of drought, a beleaguered economy and the aftermath of decades of war. Millions are already internally di...

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s military said they foiled an attack by militants on a training air base in eastern Punjab province early Saturday, killing all nine assailants.The troops’ “swift and effective response” thwarted the attack at Mianwali Training Air Base, keeping its personnel and assets safe, a military statement said, though three grounded aircraft were damaged and a fuel tanker destroyed in the fighting. The troops killed three attackers while they were entering the base, and another three were cornered and shot dead in an exchange of fire. The military said that the remaining three attackers who were hiding were killed during an operation to clear the area of militants. The attack comes a day after an ambush on a military convoy killed 14 soldiers in southwest Baluchistan province. Also on Friday, a bomb and gun attack on a vehicle carrying police left five dead and more than 20 wounded. No group has immediately claimed responsibility for Saturday’s at...

BENGALURU, India (AP) — Captain Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to field against Australia in Ahmedabad at the Cricket World Cup on Saturday.The defending champions have endured a nightmarish tournament with only one win in six games, and are languishing at the bottom of the points’ table with two points. After five losses, England is virtually knocked out of the tournament with only a mathematical possibility of making the top-four even if it beats Australia.Australia, meanwhile, is third in the table – equal on eight points with New Zealand – but ahead on net run-rate.

All-rounder Mitchell Marsh has also flown home for personal reasons, with a return date still unk...

ANÁLISIS | Esta ciudad nunca dormía. Sin embargo, con el endurecimiento del control de China ¿se acabó la fiesta?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:51:34 GMT

(CNN) — Mientras los dispersos clientes saltan de un bar desierto a otro, cuesta creer que las calles casi vacías por las que zigzaguean fueran antaño de las más animadas de Asia.Es jueves por la noche, una noche normalmente ajetreada, pero no hay multitudes entre las que moverse ni juerguistas que se desparramen por las aceras ni necesidad de esperar para sentarse. En algunas de las paradas de este silencioso tour de bares, ellos son los únicos en la sala.No siempre fue así. A juzgar por esta instantánea reciente, puede parecer inverosímil, pero Hong Kong fue en su día uno de los referentes de la vida nocturna en Asia, una ciudad famosa por su libertad, iluminada por luces de neón, que nunca dormía, donde Oriente se encontraba con Occidente y las multitudes salían de los bares durante toda la noche y hasta bien entrada la mañana, incluso en días laborables.Estas imágenes dieron la vuelta al mundo en 1997, cuando Gran Bretaña cedió la soberanía de su preciada excolonia a China...
