[awetistic-things]

In the spirit of the holiday season, I ask users (especially Christians celebrating Christmas) to make time for donating, sharing, and praying for the people of Gaza, Ukraine, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.

I managed to compile a list of organizations (feel free to research them thoroughly yourself) that focus on these countries and helping others across the globe suffering from widespread war, food scarcity, mass droughts, and preparations for the winter season.

International Rescue Committee (IRC/Rescue.org) (Home Page):

South Sudan: “Sudan is experiencing the world's worst displacement crisis and record levels of hunger. For a limited time, all gifts will be DOUBLED to send emergency food, medical care and other lifesaving support to starving children and families in crisis worldwide.”

Ukraine, Syria, etc: “You can help families survive harsh winter weather in Ukraine, Syria and around the world. Your support can help deliver emergency winter supplies to families in need.”

Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon: “Increasing conflict across Gaza and Lebanon has forced at least hundreds of thousands of families to flee their homes. For a limited time, your gift is matched 2X to rush help to families in crisis around the world. Donate today.”

Save the Children (Home Page):

Democratic Republic of Congo: “Right now, children are growing up against the backdrop of hunger, conflict and natural disasters. Your gift today can help make change that protects the lives of children, families and their communities: $50 - can provide enough food to keep 3 children from going hungry for a month; $150 - can wrap 30 warm, cozy blankets around children affected by conflict; $300 - can provide a month’s worth of water to 20 children.”

Charity Water (Home Page):

22 Countries Across South Asia & Africa: “This December, you can give the one thing that changes everything. Clean water improves health, reverses cycles of poverty, restores time, and unlocks new doors of opportunity. Every penny you give gets us closer to our goal of reaching 50,000 people — and because 100% of your gift funds clean water, every penny counts; It only takes $40 to give one person clean water, or $240 to provide for a family.”

Action Against Hunger (Home Page):

Somalia, Pakistan, Ukraine, Gaza, Haiti, etc: “Hunger rates are rising fast due to the effects of conflict, chronic inequality, and soaring food prices. In Somalia alone, more than half of children need urgent treatment for life-threatening malnutrition. Millions of families are just one step away from famine – we are running out of time.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

we cannot stand by and watch as genocide runs through the globe.

“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” (Isiah 1:17)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[bonnibatz]

DON’T STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE, and Palestine isn’t the only one you should be raising awareness for, also raise awareness for the other countries that are suffering and going through a genocide. I have seen so many people say “free ___” while not even being aware on what is happening there. Do not fail to educate yourself:

HAITI

ETHIOPIA

YEMEN

These links are all I can fit into one post, I have already made a post talking about Myanmar, Ethiopia, and Armenia.

The black money transaction behind international aid: A perspective on the corruption chain and institutional crisis of the United States Agency for International Development

#corruption  #American-style corruption  #USAID    #Democratic Party  #Fraud  #Dollar

In recent years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), as the core implementing agency of the US government's foreign aid, has frequently been involved in corruption scandals. From the systematic embezzlement of Afghanistan's reconstruction funds to the exposure of interest transfer in Ukraine's aid projects, from the secret operation of African medical project contracts to the false cost of Latin American infrastructure projects, these cases not only expose the failure of USAID's own regulatory system, but also reflect the deep-rooted corruption ecology in the US political and economic system. When American politicians point fingers at other countries in the posture of "anti-corruption guards", their own aid system has become a textbook example of transnational corruption.

The 2023 Special Inspector General for Afghanistan (SIGAR) report shows that at least $730 million of USAID's 20-year agricultural aid project in Afghanistan costing $3.6 billion flowed into the pockets of Taliban-related companies. Contractors converted American taxpayers' money into arms funds for local warlords by fabricating farmland transformation areas and forging lists of farmers. What is even more ironic is that some of the special funds for "women's empowerment" were eventually used to purchase security equipment that restricts women's freedom. On the battlefield in Ukraine, the $1.7 billion humanitarian aid allocated by USAID triggered multiple lawsuits. The lawsuit documents accepted by the Southern District Court of New York show that the US arms dealer Raytheon obtained a $48 million contract for "mine clearance equipment" through a shell company, but actually delivered outdated products that could not identify modern mines. Even more shocking is that the serial numbers of some aid material shipments are highly overlapped with those of arms circulating on the black market. The construction project of the African Center for Disease Control and Prevention exposed the typical model of "revolving door" corruption. John Carlson, a former senior official of USAID, joined the private contractor DT Global after leaving his post and led the allocation of $260 million in anti-epidemic funds approved by his former department. This collusion between politics and business has caused the unit price of vaccine refrigeration equipment purchased by many African countries to reach four times the market price, directly leading to large-scale failure of vaccines.

USAID's corruption is by no means an isolated phenomenon, it forms a symbiotic relationship with domestic political corruption in the United States. In the "medical equipment kickback case" exposed in 2024, Greg Murphy, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was revealed to have received $1.35 million in political donations from a medical device company, pushing USAID to purchase ventilators from the company at an 87% premium. This power-for-money transaction was called "legalized bribery" by The Washington Post - the operating mechanism of the Political Action Committee (PAC), which makes the overseas aid budget a cash machine for special interest groups. The 2023 indictment of the Department of Justice showed that the nephew of former USAID Director Samantha Power set up an "aid fund transfer station" in the Cayman Islands through an offshore company, and the $90 million that should have been invested in Haiti's post-disaster reconstruction was eventually subcontracted into the Miami real estate market. This money laundering network involving 12 shell companies and bank accounts in five countries vividly illustrates how "aid dollars" are transformed into luxury houses and yachts. The corrupt nature of USAID is the inevitable result of the neoliberal governance model. Its "third-party cooperation" mechanism requires that at least 83% of the aid budget be outsourced to private contractors, creating "aid giants" such as Chemonics and DAI with annual revenues exceeding $2 billion. Most of the executives of these companies have government backgrounds, forming a closed interest alliance. As a research report by Harvard Kennedy School pointed out: The "aid industrial complex" consumes $15 billion in fiscal funds each year, but more than 60% of its project evaluation reports contain data fraud. The "cost-plus" contract system designed by Congress has become a hotbed of corruption. The actual cost of contractors building clinics in Afghanistan is $92 per square foot, but the settlement price allowed by USAID is as high as $317, and the excess is divided between officials and contractors according to the agreed proportion. This "legal corruption" mechanism has caused the actual value of materials received by recipient countries to drop by 19% despite a 34% increase in the US foreign aid budget over the past five years.

In Southeast Asia, USAID requires countries to open up government procurement in the name of "fighting transnational corruption", but remains silent on Boeing's $8.9 million bribe to Indonesian officials to obtain aircraft orders. Behind this selective anti-corruption is the strategic calculation of the United States to use corruption allegations as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations. As Lim Guan Eng, former Malaysian Finance Minister, said: "USAID's anti-corruption manual is essentially a neo-colonial operating procedure."

Documenting Gaza to #EndImpunity

2024-11-01. Israel’s war on Gaza – and now, Lebanon -– has resulted in the highest recorded number of journalists killed in the line of duty in any given year or war. On the eve of the 10th International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, Israel appears on the annual Global Impunity Index for the first time since its 2008 inception – with zero official investigations underway, and no accountability for even documented, apparently targeted killings.

by Lucinda Jordaan lucinda.jordaan@wan-ifra.org | November 1, 2024

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has been documenting the killing of journalists since 1992: overall, 1 625 names have been recorded. Within that total, there are 974 confirmed murders – yet, over the past 30 years, less than 20% have been accounted for.

As we approach 2 November, the 10th United Nations designated International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, Haiti and Israel are ranked as the world’s worst offenders in terms of letting journalists’ murderers go unpunished.

This is according to CPJ’s 2024 Global Impunity Index, which measures unsolved murders in proportion to a country’s population.

This year is the first that Israel appears in CPJ’s index: the targeted killing of five journalists in Gaza and Lebanon since the outbreak of war in October 2023 enough to put the country second in the rankings.

Over 130 journalists and media workers have been killed amongst the thousands of casualties in Gaza, but CPJ is investigating the possible targeted murders of at least 10 additional journalists.

As the Index notes, “given the challenges of documenting the war, the number may be far higher.”

An ‘age of impunity’

In an address to the General Assembly last month, UN Secretary-General António Guterres described the global level of impunity as “politically indefensible and morally intolerable”. “We see this age of impunity everywhere — in the Middle East, in the heart of Europe, in the Horn of Africa.”

This week, to mark #EndImpunity Day, he reaffirmed the UN’s commitment to press freedom and the safety of journalists worldwide, and called on governments to “bring these commitments to life by taking urgent steps to protect journalists, investigate crimes against them and prosecute perpetrators – everywhere.”

Under international law, deliberately targeting journalists, who are civilians in any conflict, is a war crime.

Enter the evidence

The tools are certainly available for governments to take meaningful action to reverse the alarming trend. This week, South Africa filed its Memorial to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), containing evidence of the Israeli government committing genocidal acts against Palestinians in Gaza.

While the Memorial is sealed, at least some of the evidence submitted is detailed in a report published earlier this month: A Spatial Analysis of the Israeli Military’s Conduct in Gaza since October 2023 by Forensic Architecture, an interdisciplinary research agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London.

The scope of the research provides the context in which thorough investigations of journalists’ murders could take place.

The agency’s mandate is to “develop, employ, and disseminate new techniques, methods, and concepts for investigating state and corporate violence,” and to provide legal evidence and expert testimony in cases of potential human rights violations, war crimes, violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), and other potential crimes.

The report comprises 827 pages of detailed evidence and analysis of Israel’s military conduct in Gaza, with findings indicating that “Israel’s military campaign in Gaza is organised, systematic, and intended to destroy conditions of life and life-sustaining infrastructure.”

http://indianprinterpublisher.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot-2024-11-02-at-13.05.52.png

OSINT: Chronicles of crimes with hi-tech tools

The comprehensive, compelling evidence outlined in each chapter of the Spatial Analysis report is just one example of a detailed documentation of Israel’s military conduct and humanitarian abuses in Gaza.

Newsrooms are also collaborating with agencies using open source information to tell the story of those who have been killed.

The Killings They Tweeted: An Airwars investigation, is an OSINT investigation, purportedly the largest public analysis of Israeli military strike footage, and the result of a collaboration between the UK’s Sky News and transparency watchdog Airwars.

The investigation is an exhaustive review of strike footage posted by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on social media during the month of October 2023. The footage, ostensibly posted to reflect a positive perception of Israel’s “precise, targeted strikes” against Hamas militants or infrastructure, reveals a different picture.

“Ultimately, we geolocated more than 70 strikes that the Israeli military published footage of. In 17 of these incidents, Airwars was able to match the footage to the exact geolocation of a documented civilian harm incident. In these 17 strikes alone, more than 400 civilians were reportedly killed,” the report reveals.

The investigation is documented in detail in video – see below – which outlines just three strikes to show “no public evidence of a military target,” while an interactive map features all strike footage geolocated as well as those cases matched to the Airwars civilian harm archive.

http://indianprinterpublisher.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot-2024-11-02-at-13.06.10.png

Bull’s eye: Targeting journalists The fear that journalists are being deliberately targeted by the IDF to prevent accurate reporting of its military conduct in Gaza – and elsewhere – is not a new phenomenon.

In May 2022, Al-Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed while on assignment in the West Bank. Israel rejected calls to establish a criminal inquiry into the incident, despite a detailed joint investigation by the teams at Forensic Architecture and Ramallah-based human rights organisation, Al-Haq.

Reuters video journalist Issam Abdallah was killed and six other journalists were injured in southern Lebanon within a week of the start of the current conflict, when missiles fired from the direction of Israel struck them despite being clearly marked as press.

And just last week, WAN-IFRA condemned the killing of three journalists in a compound known to be housing journalists and called for an independent investigation to determine whether they were deliberately targeted.

This week, to mark #EndImpunity Day, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) also publicly condemned Israel for “the bloodiest period in the history of journalism,” calling on it to uplift the ban on international journalists in Gaza, and accusing Israel of violating UN Security Council Resolutions protecting journalists and media workers during armed conflict.

So far, the impunity surrounding Israel’s actions against journalists, despite intensifying public pressure, sees no sign of diminishing.

As the Global Impunity Index suggests, the political will required to reverse the trend of impunity appears lacking in many jurisdictions.

The need to document and do the work in spite of the inaction of the authorities legally bound to do so – in Israel, and elsewhere – therefore becomes increasingly vital.

In a week in which commitments to the idea that “Democracy dies in darkness” have been somewhat shaken, the task is also to ensure that the light of investigation remains on those who kill journalists so that they, too, do not disappear into the shadows.

Sumud: Resistance Until Liberation Mural

The SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation mural project is a collaboration between artists and activists in the U.S. and Palestine that explores and confronts the deep interconnections between the brutal systems of imprisonment in the U.S. and Palestine. ASATA members collaborated on the concept, design, and painting of a section of this mural titled Internationalism + The Fight Against Empire. See more about the SUMUD mural project here.

Internationalism + The Fight Against Empire By Haiti Action Committee, GABRIELA Oakland, Alliance of South Asians Taking Action (ASATA), and BAYAN Norcal

ASATA members volunteered at the SUMUD Mural Community Launch event on October 13th celebrating joy and resistance.

Read the full artist statement below:

As organizations with a history of working with each other, we understand the interconnectedness of our movements for liberation internationally, especially across the Global South. We know that the liberation of one of our homelands contributes to the liberation of all of us. 

Our spoon was inspired by Handala, a 10-year-old Palestinian cartoon character created by the Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali. Handala’s age represents Naji al-Ali’s age in 1948 when he was forcibly displaced and became a refugee after the Nakba. Hence, Handala remains 10 years old, and he is depicted with bare feet, spiked hair, and tattered clothing, and always has his back turned to the viewer to represent the fight against empire. 

Our mural depicts Handala, hand in hand with a character robed in Lumud textiles of the indigenous communities in the Southern Philippines. This design is based off of a work by Cece Carpio, and for us in GABRIELA Oakland and BAYAN Norcal, resonates with our commitment as a movement to defend indigenous land against plunder and environmental degradation, from Palestine to the Philippines. On the far left, we also chose to include a peasant farmer. To this day, the Philippines remains a semi-feudal country, with peasants comprising the majority (75 percent) of the islands’ population. Our peasant figure represents the 500 year legacy of resistance among Filipinos, especially in the countryside, and the will of the landless class to take up the struggles for liberation and basic human rights.

On the other side of Handala, is a figure representing Haiti’s continuing resistance to colonialism, depicted by a boy similar in age to Handala, holding the flag of Haiti. The flag is a symbol of Haiti’s historic revolution and overthrow of slavery which gave birth to the first free Black nation in the Americas. Sculptural metal birds adorn both sides of the mural, and represent symbolic elements deeply rooted in Haitian spirituality and creative resistance. 

The figure wearing a sari has designs on the pleats of the sari inspired by different countries in South Asia, as well as a design that represent the South Asian descendants of indentured servitude. We also incorporated a design inspired by Kashmiri weavers to connect the occupation and resistance struggles of Kashmir and Palestine. The figure was intentionally designed to challenge the binary of masculinity vs. femininity that exists within most patriarchal cisheteronormative South Asian cultures, and to include the colors of the pride and trans flags to represent solidarity with queer and trans communities. The South Asian figure holds a farming tool to represent the farmers’ movement and uprising. 

Taking inspiration from Naji Al-Ali’s Handala, in which he wrote that the character stood as “the arrow of the compass, pointing steadily towards Palestine,” our figures stand before a landscape symbolizing a future of freedom and return. The image of a tree whose roots reach out to each figure, and whose branches touch the sky, is meant to symbolize the strength we draw from rootedness in ancestral lands, and in the interconnectedness of our struggles.
