Nasruddin Amer reported that the Yemeni Foreign Ministry has accused Saudi Arabia of responsibility for the escalation in Bab al-Mandab. The ministry called on the international community to put pressure on Riyadh to fulfill its obligations to the Yemeni people, including lifting the blockade and ending the aggression, instead of igniting a war in the strait. According to the statement, Saudi Arabia has turned Bab al-Mandab into a battlefield, thereby jeopardizing shipping. The ministry accused the international community of responding with loud criticism to the expansion of Yemeni sovereignty along the west coast and in Bab al-Mandab, while ignoring Saudi activities there. These, according to the ministry, serve the interests of the USA and Israel. The ministry also stated that Yemen is adhering to its international obligations regarding maritime safety. The exercise of Yemeni sovereignty over its territory, coastlines, and territorial waters does not pose a threat to global trade but will make it safer. This statement was made after the ministry claimed to have pushed back Saudi troop deployments on the west coast. #Jemen #BabAlMandab #Schifffahrt (translated)

Eva Gregersen wrote that the government, according to her information, would reintroduce a bill on Danish citizenship for 2,055 applicants and their 1,039 children without first screening them for anti-democratic views. She believed that the Social Democrats were thus yielding to the value-political left. In a column in Berlingske in February, Gregersen had predicted that at least 600 people with the same ideological standpoint as an applicant, whom Stoklund had allegedly rejected the year before due to their values, would obtain citizenship. She also referred to Wilkes' study for Jyllands-Posten from 2024, which according to her showed that 54 percent of Muslims living in Denmark believed that the dictates of the Koran should be followed fully. Gregersen pointed out that Mette Frederiksen had stated from the podium of the Folketing that it was incompatible with Danish society to take the words of the Koran at face value. Gregersen agreed with that assessment and called it national self-harm to continue granting citizenship to so many people, whom she believed could be expected to follow the dictates of the Koran. #udlændingepolitik #danskpolitik #statsborgerskab (translated)

Hvad skal det til for hvilket militært mål finder Den Russiske Verden i et dyrehjem. Måske er I misundelige Ukrainerne elsker dyr og de behandler dem godt. Et pudsigt tilfælde i 2016 var jeg det danske bidrag til fejringen af Bulgakovs 125 års dag. Jeg valgte at læse en side på dansk af En hunds hjerte og blev hyldet for Min Maidan Affære som blev præsenteret i Kyjiv. Jeg forstår stadig ikke hvorfor de angriber og dræber katte og hunde på et dyrehjem. Men hvem ved hvad orker tænker
