The emergence of in various geographies is an inextricable byproduct of the long and winding process leading us toward a multipolar world. These two things – resistance to the Hegemon and the emergence of multipolarity – are absolutely complementary. The Axis of Resistance in West Asia – across Arab and Muslim states – now finds as its soul sister the Axis of Resistance spanning the Sahel in Africa, west to east, from Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to Chad, Sudan, and Eritrea. Unlike Niger, where the change in power against neocolonialism was associated with a military coup, in Senegal, the power change comes straight from the polls.

February 18, 2024 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. Educate! Egypt, Israel, Nakba, Palestine, Refugees

Egypt is building an 8-square-mile walled enclosure in the Sinai Desert near Gaza to prepare for an influx of Palestinian refugees as Israel is vowing to launch an assault on Rafah, which borders Egypt and is packed with about 1.5 million Palestinians. The revelation of Egypt’s construction, which was reported by The Wall Street Journal and an Egyptian rights group, signals Cairo is caving to Israeli pressure to allow Palestinians to enter its territory. Egyptian officials told the Journal that more than 100,000 people would be able to fit into the camps they are constructing. If a mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza does happen, the Egyptian officials said they want to limit the number of refugees they allow in to between 50,000 and 60,000.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Friday that an Israeli ground operation in Rafah, located on Egypt's border and where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians are living in tents, was necessary to destroy the four brigades of Hamas' armed wing allegedly present there.

Intelligence obtained by Al Mayadeen indicates that the Paris Agreement touched on the prisoner exchange but completely neglected the ceasefire and the withdrawal from Gaza, whereas the Resistance’s agreement highlights those issues as pivotal.

The UN Security Council postponed for the second time a vote on a ceasefire resolution in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. The resolution was initially scheduled for a vote on Monday.

U.S. foreign officials warned that support for Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip is isolating Washington from its allies and could cost it diplomatically in the long run. On Tuesday, the National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby confirmed that the U.S. is “still working through the modalities of the resolution.”

December 9, 2023 Gerry Condon, Peace and Planet News. Educate! Despair, Egypt, Gaza, Genocide, Palestine, Rafah

Israel's genocidal assault on the civilian population of Gaza is not being carried out by carpet bombing alone. Electricity and water have been cut off. Desperately needed food, water and medical supplies are not being allowed in. Israel has deployed starvation as a weapon of war. Hundreds of big-rig trucks are lined up at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, waiting to deliver their cargoes of food, water, medicine, and basic necessities. This is the southern Gaza border, which is supposed to be controlled by Egypt. Israel has bombed the Gaza side of the border, however, and Egypt, a military dictatorship that relies heavily on U.S. military aid, has been slow to open its border.
