(Turkey, Kirsehir Province)

Although native to the Eurasian steppe from Hungary to Manchuria, the centaur (Homo centauri) is now confined to Anatolia, the North American prairie, some pockets in the African Sahel region, and an immigrant population in Argentina and Australia. Unlike the Elves in the taiga, the centaur occupied what was believed to be prime agricultural land, and were transferred to Turkey, America, or Canada from the Soviet Union & Mongolia in the 1920s from Eastern Europe in the 1940s, and from China in the early 1950s. Likewise, the small Iranian population fled after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, leaving Turkey as the only Eurasian state with a significant indigenous centaur population. Historically, the centaurs of Eurasia had a very symbiotic relationship with humans, being employed by various settled empires as mercenaries against nomadic steppe tribes, with similar arrangements occurring in West Africa and Sudan on a smaller scale. They were provided with arms and other manufactured goods in exchange for military service as well as working as intelligent mounts for royalty, high nobles, and commanders. However, the service to human kings and emperors made them an enemy of the radical socialists of the early 20th century, who viewed them as barbarous and reactionary force, akin to the Cossacks. Few humanoid species have suffered such a rapid range collapse. The biology of the centaur is somewhat surprising. It is a rare example of gene reactivation in higher vertebrates. Genetically, the centaur is than the elves to humans, but human 'junk DNA' is activated in centaurs, forming their ungulate-like lower body. Due to their anatomy, the centaurs view pregnancy and birth as a minor inconvenience. Also the womb is distant from the birthing canal, the actual process of birth out of the wide quadruped hip bone is almost a trivial process, and the weight of the pregnancy is distributed over 4 legs. Centaurs do not slow down during pregnancy, but do avoid dangerous activities. The centaur males carry the children almost exclusively, because it is believed they can better 'protect' the unborn child during pregnancy than a female.

6/7/2024 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) — Images of members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) executing three Christian men in Borno state, Nigeria, are circulating on social media.

One image, allegedly shared on June 4 by the Islamic State group (ISIS) through its propaganda outlet, Amaq News Agency, shows the Christian men kneeling with their arms tied behind their backs before three masked gunmen. Another image shows the bodies of the believers falling to the ground under a cloud of smoke from the Islamic extremists’ machine guns.

The Islamic extremists reportedly abducted the men from a vehicle traveling along a highway that runs through the northern Nigerian state on June 3. Muslim passengers were allowed to leave. The terrorists reportedly abducted a fourth passenger, but their condition is unknown at this time.

The Rev. Ibrahim Abako, secretary of the Yobe State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, confirmed the deaths in an interview with Leadership Media Group, a Nigerian news outlet.

“On behalf of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Yobe State chapter, we condemn in totality the killing of three Christian youth along Damaturu-Biu Road Federal Highway,” the Rev. said.

In January, ISWAP, which formed in 2016 from defectors of Boko Haram, conducted eight attacks against Christian communities in several villages in Nigeria. During the attacks, 12 Christians were killed while other Christians were forced to flee from their homes that ISWAP militants burned down. These attacks are part of ISIS’ call in January for its affiliates to “kill (Christians) where you find them.”

"Country Report: Nigeria

January 2024

By Bhaswati Bhattacharjee

Since 2000, 62,000 Christians in Nigeria have been murdered in genocide perpetrated by Islamist jihadist groups including Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and Fulani militias. The International Committee for Nigeria refers to this genocide as the “Silent Slaughter.”" ... In a speech delivered on January 11, 2024 in the British House of Lords, Lord David Alton urged the U.K. government to promptly address the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Emeka Umeagbalasi, the director of Intersociety, alleges that the Nigerian government and Nigerian Army are complicit in the attacks on Christians. Due to genocidal massacres of Christians and moderate Muslims, and the Nigerian Government and Army’s failure to protect Nigerian citizens, Genocide Watch considers Nigeria to be at Stage 9: Extermination and Stage 10: Denial. Where is the massive Media Coverage that was here when 30,000 Civilians died from Israel because Terrorists hid behind them? Where is the "Free Nigerian Christians" Movement on the Woke Left, who claims that they are Anti-Genocide but does not raise awareness for the people that don't fit their Narrative?

Why is there no Anti-Nigerian Movement? When Israel responds to a GENOCIDAL TERRORIST ATTACK from an Organization that wants to wipe Israel and Jews off the Map, THEY ARE TERRORISTS, MURDERERS, GENOCIDAL MANIACS, LIARS, but when a Terrorist Group ruthlessly Murders 60,000 Christians, THEY SAY NOTHING. Really puts into perspective just how Evil and hypocritical the Left really is.

The Defence Headquarters, DHQ, said troops have depleted the power of the Islamic State for West Africa Province, ISWAP, terrorists in the Northeastern part of Nigeria, forcing the terror group on a recruitment drive for new fighters across the region.

The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj-Gen Edward Buba, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

He said the terrorists in the North West also suffered the same fate and were on membership recruitment on social media.

“Troops are aware of the situation and working with other security agencies and governments to thwart the plans.

“Troops are also deployed in strength to assist the police in ensuring a hitch-free off-cycle governorship election in Ondo State, slated for November.

“Indeed, troops’ presence is to ensure the security of citizens enabling them to cast their votes without any form of harassment or intimidation while keeping mischief-makers at bay.

“The NAF is already engaged in flying sensitive electoral material in support of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,” he said.

While giving updates on successes across various theatres of operation in the past week, Buba said troops killed 88 terrorists, arrested 228 criminals, and rescued 181 kidnap victims.

According to him, troops recovered 84 high calibre weapons, comprising 34 AK47 rifles, 15 fabricated rifles, 11 Dane guns, five fabricated revolver pistols, eight locally made pistols, three pump action guns and one magnum pump action.

The Defense spokesman added that troops recovered 2,393 pieces of ammunition, comprising 1,807 rounds of 7.62mm special ammo, 314 rounds of 7.62mm NATO, 146 rounds of 7.62mm PKM ammo, 77 rounds of 9mm ammo, 49 live cartridges, and 25 magazines, among others.

Speaking on troops successes in the Niger Delta region, Gen. Buba said troops destroyed 59 illegal refining sites and arrested 40 oil thieves.

“Troops recovered 942,420 litres of stolen crude oil, 175,075 litres of illegally refined diesel and 4,980 litres of petrol.

“Troops also discovered and destroyed 13 crude oil cooking ovens, 20 dugout pits, 73 boats, 25 storage tanks and 59 illegal refining sites, three barges, seven speedboats, and 73 drums, among others,” he added.

The March 22 terrorist attack targeting concertgoers in Moscow, which was later claimed by the Islamic State, was an eerily familiar shock for Russians. In 2002, approximately a year after 9/11, Islamist terrorists claiming allegiance to a separatist movement in Chechnya besieged the crowded Dubrovka Theater in Moscow. More than 130 people were killed in the operation to clear the theater.

Last month’s attack, which killed at least 144 people, opened multiple geopolitical fissures. The Kremlin, having caught—and tortured—at least a few of the suspected perpetrators, claimed that the terrorists were looking to head toward Ukraine, where Russia is embroiled in its own endless war. Online, the story took a life of its own as conspiracy theories overwhelmed facts.

As attention shifted eastward toward the Islamic State-Khorasan (ISK), the group’s branch based in Afghanistan, contrarian views, mostly in Russian media but amplified on social media platforms, of this being a false-flag operation designed by the West simultaneously took off.

In between such distractions, the victor was the Islamic State. The group’s spokesperson, known by his nom de guerre Abu Hudhayfah al-Ansari, released a 41-minute audio message a few days after the Moscow attack. Curiously, the message, titled “By God, this religion [Islam] will prevail,” mentioned Russia only in passing. It however congratulated Islamic State ecosystems and wilayas (Arabic for provinces), or offshoots, on a successful 10 years of the caliphate.

The message takes the listener on a world tour of sorts, highlighting the group’s presence across regions from Africa to Southeast Asia, challenging the notion that it is a spent force. Ansari also congratulated the group’s fighters for their campaigns against the Chinese, Russians, Sikhs, and Hindus. It also chastised the very idea of democracy—a long-standing ideological position for most jihadi groups.

Only a few hours prior to this, ISK had released a separate 18-minute propaganda video in Pashto targeting the Afghan Taliban’s outreach with India. This is particularly noteworthy after India facilitated the evacuation of Sikhs and Hindus from the country, specifically after ISK claimed an attack against a Sikh temple in Kabul in 2022. Islamic State propaganda has also long stoked communal divisions in India to instigate Muslims against the state.

The video took the format of a first-person narrative, discussing how the Taliban regime was working with the Indian state, which ISK views as an anti-Muslim institution. This was not the first time either the Islamic State or ISK had targeted India in its propaganda, but interestingly, the latter’s primary aim here was the Taliban’s behavior and not necessarily India, its democracy, or its perceived Hindu-nationalist political bent by itself.

The chaotic U.S. exit from Afghanistan and subsequent return to power of the Taliban in 2021 was a watershed moment. But the negotiated exit was not a difficult decision for the U.S. government, which was clear in its vision on what it wanted out of leaving, as Washington looked to pivot toward new areas of strategic competition in Asia.

The challenge fell to powers within the region, which were left to deal with an extremist movement in control of a critical neighboring state. For more than 20 years, Afghanistan’s neighbors, including China and Russia, benefited from the expansive U.S. and NATO military umbrella. This allowed them to pursue their own strategic interests such as developing influence within Afghanistan’s ethnic divisions and the power brokers representing these groups without any significant military commitment. On Aug. 30, 2021, then-Maj. Gen. Christopher T. Donahue was the last U.S. soldier to leave the country. Afghanistan was now an Asian problem.

But Russia, China, and Iran—the three primary adversaries of the United States, and by association Western geopolitical constructs—were in fact happy. After two decades, there were no massive U.S. military deployments on Iran’s eastern border at a time when its relations with Washington were at their worst. Tehran’s own history with Afghanistan, and specifically the Taliban, is confrontational.

Throughout the 1990s, the Iranians supported anti-Taliban groups, particularly rebel leaders such as Ahmad Shah Massoud and the Northern Alliance. Tehran was not alone, as others, including India, Russia, and Tajikistan among others, supported these groups against the Taliban and its sponsors in Pakistan.

Fast forward to 2021, and Iran decided to go the opposite way. It opened diplomatic and economic channels with the new regime in Kabul and looked to build support in exchange for a healthy level of anti-Western patronage and relative calm on the borders.

Iran’s two other closest allies in Moscow and Beijing followed suit. Iran, Russia, and China have all, in a way, recognized the Taliban as the quasi-official rulers of Afghanistan. Beijing has gone a step beyond, with Chinese President Xi Jinping officially accepting the accreditation of the new Taliban-appointed ambassador to his country.

Russia, still a little wary due to its history of fighting against and losing to the U.S.-backed mujahideen between 1979 and 1989 and more vocal in its criticism, accepted Taliban diplomats in Moscow in 2022 and is now even considering removing the Taliban from its list of banned terrorist organizations.

The stance these three states have adopted is a calculated risk; they see Taliban rule as a more palatable crisis to deal with than an expansive U.S. military presence at a time when great-power competition is once again taking hold of contemporary international relations.

Other countries, such as many of those in Central Asia, have also grudgingly taken the path of engagement with Kabul so as to try to avoid a return of regional conflict and proliferation of extremist ideologies by using the Taliban itself as a buffer as they try to keep one foot in and the other out the proverbial door.

Pakistan, long the Taliban’s patron, is already caught in a lover’s feud with its own protégés in Afghanistan as Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan continues a militant campaign against Islamabad. Meanwhile, India has begun to balance between naked strategic interest and the long-term costs of the political normalization of such entities.

A trend of political victories for militant groups such as the Taliban is expanding. In the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, the latter has in many respects come out on top by gaining more legitimacy than it ever expected despite the bloodiness of its attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Hamas has managed to move its own narrative away from being a proscribed terrorist group to being viewed as a revolutionary movement for the liberation of Palestine. Its political leadership, based out of Qatar, even condemned the terrorist attack in Russia.

The spectacle of an Islamist terrorist group publicly condemning another Islamist terrorist group underscores the absurdity of this situation. Hamas leaders, such as Ismail Haniyeh, have visited Iran and Russia to drum up support. Beijing, while asking for a secession of hostilities, has yet to denounce Hamas by name for its actions. At some level, all these states are happy to engage with such militant groups if it aids in the weakening of U.S. power and hegemony.

A significant level of global cooperation against terrorism, which was achieved in the aftermath of 9/11 and during the so-called global war on terrorism, is fast eroding. For example, up until 2015, Moscow had allowed NATO military supply flights meant for Afghanistan to use its airspace. Multilateral forums such as the United Nations are now repeatedly questioned over their purpose and worth.

For groups such as the Islamic State, this is a boon. Even though most of these competing powers see the group as a security threat that requires military solutions, a lack of uniformity creates a tremendous vacuum in which such entities can thrive. And while most of Afghanistan’s neighbors today are forced to view the Taliban as the “good Taliban,” considering its fundamental aversion to the Islamic State and its ideology (due to tension between Deobandis and Salafi jihadis), these new realities will make cohesive and effective global cooperation against terrorism far less likely.

This raises a critical question: Who is going to lead the global counterterrorism push? Militarily, the kind of capacity the United States deploys against terrorist groups remains unchallenged. From the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019 to the new Islamic State caliphs being degraded to faceless, often nameless personas, the U.S.-led Operation Inherent Resolve in Syria has been effective—and it continues to this day. But the expansion of Islamic State wilayas and their own individual clout, as highlighted by Ansari, challenges these successes.

In Africa, Russia is empowering local warlords and dilettantes to take on the Islamic State while it simultaneously cements its own presence, particularly as Western powers such as the United States and France struggle to hold on to their military footing. Propping up regimes in places such as Mali and Burkina Faso by offering political stability and pushing them to fight groups such as the Islamic State is a model both Russia and China seem to gravitate toward.

As the Moscow attack revealed, an era of increased rivalry between major powers that tolerate terrorist groups that target their adversaries could ultimately spawn a resurgence of Islamist terrorism. This new geopolitical landscape, by default, will give terrorist groups more chances of political compromise through negotiations than ever before.

The popular yet often frowned-on adage of “one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter” seems to be a winning formula for those who were widely seen as critical threats yesterday but now are aspiring to be the stakeholders of tomorrow.

Officially, Turkey’s state ideology is secularism imposed by Ataturk a century ago. However, for all intents and purposes, Ankara’s driving force is an extremely volatile mix of Neo-Ottomanism, political Islam and pan-Turkism. Erdogan is doing everything in his power to spread and implement these all over the place, be it Southeast Europe, the Middle East, North Africa or Central Asia. Turkey is punching way above its weight in doing so, but its geostrategic position allows this (at least for the time being). Namely, Ankara is trying to play all sides it’s engaged with in order to achieve its megalomaniacal expansionist goals, but its NATO membership still makes it an asset of the political West.

For years, I’ve been arguing that all the evidence suggests that Turkey is one of NATO’s “Trojan horses” and that its policies undermine regional stability, particularly in the South Caucasus and Central Asia, where Ankara is using its resources to radicalize young populations, resulting in a massive increase in the number of terrorists who join ISIS and other similar NATO-backed terrorist organizations operating all over the world. The latest events in Syria serve as a testament to that. Namely, yet another US/NATO invasion that started in 2011 (ever so euphemistically dubbed the “Syrian Civil War”) is now escalating once again, resulting in hundreds of casualties on all sides, as Turkish and NATO-backed “democratic opposition” terrorists are attacking the Aleppo Governorate.

Based in the occupied Idlib province, where the CIA and other Western intelligence services are working closely with the Turkish military, the terrorists seem to have been gathering troops and equipment to break the ceasefire established around half a decade ago. It should be noted that the occupation forces are also composed of Jabhat Al Nusra, now known as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group that has been infesting the area for nearly a decade and a half. To make matters worse, the Neo-Nazi junta in Kiev is also closely linked with the HTS and similar terrorist organizations operating under NATO support in Syria. Turkey supplies everything these terrorists need, including M113 APCs (armored personnel carriers) that were recently filmed advancing in the area.

Defence Headquarters Declares Nine Individuals Wanted for Terrorism, Releases Full List.   The Defence Headquarters of Nigeria has declared nine individuals wanted for violent extremism and terrorism activities in the North East region. Read Also: Police Officer Die In Tragic Lagos Accident (Photos) This announcement comes amid escalating security threats from groups like Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), which have caused significant unrest in the area for over a decade. Full List of Wanted Individuals The director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, disclosed that all the individuals listed are from the North East region, a hotbed of insurgent activities. The Defence Headquarters shared the names of the wanted persons as follows: Abu Khadijah Abur Rahman Dadi Gumba Abu Yusuf Musa Wa'a Usman Kanin Shehu Ibrahim Suyeka Ba Sulhu Idris Taklakse Read Also : Details Emerge as Military Confirms Emergence of New Terror Group, Lukarawas Call for Public Assistance The Defence Headquarters is urging the public to provide any information that could help apprehend these individuals. This call for assistance highlights the government's ongoing efforts to curb terrorism and restore peace in the region. The military's appeal follows a series of attacks orchestrated by Boko Haram, a group known for its attempts to establish an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria since its formation by Mohammed Yusuf in 2002. Long-Standing Security Threats Boko Haram's insurgency, coupled with ISWAP’s increasing presence, has devastated the North East, resulting in thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions. The recent declaration of these nine individuals as wanted is seen as a crucial step by the authorities in their counter-terrorism operations. Former Defence Chief Passes Away In a related development, the former Chief of Defence in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, Admiral Ibrahim Ogohi (rtd), has passed away. His death was confirmed by Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, the director of defence information, who stated that Ogohi died at his residence. Ogohi’s passing marks the end of an era, as he was a notable figure in Nigeria’s military history. This declaration by the Defence Headquarters is a significant move in the ongoing battle against terrorism. Authorities are hopeful that public cooperation will aid in the swift capture of these wanted individuals, paving the way for enhanced security in the region.
