The United Kingdom has returned 32 gold and silver treasures stolen from the Asante Kingdom more than 150 years ago in what is today’s Ghana on a six-year loan, Ghanaian negotiators have said. The artefacts, comprising 15 items from the British Museum and 17 from the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), were looted from the court of the Asante king during the turbulent 19th-century clashes between the British and the Asante people. Ghanaian authorities have for years tried to reclaim gold treasures looted by British soldiers from the Asante kingdom, which is also known as Ashanti.

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS CALL FOR INVESTIGATION INTO MASS GRAVES, CIVIL DEFENSE WILL COOPERATE, SIGNS OF TORTURE ON BODIES IN GAZA

Gaza's Civil Defense ministry says it will cooperate with any independent investigation into the recent discovery of three mass graves containing hundreds of disfigured, decomposing bodies at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, in Gaza's south.

Mohammed al-Moghier, a member of the Palestinian Civil Defense, said his teams were prepared to compile an evidential report for an independent investigation in the crimes, telling reporters that "this can be the foundation for work to be conducted by an international investigation committee."

"We are ready to help their work in order to push the Israelis to refrain from committing crimes against people in Gaza,” al-Moghier is quoted as saying.

The horrific discovery was made following the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces (IOF) from the Khan Yunis area, after which three mass graves were found in the courtyard of the hospital complex.

At least 392 decomposing corpses have been recovered from the three mass graves so far, with only a fraction having been identified at the time of publishing.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary General, Stephane Dujarric, told Al-Jazeera News that while the international organization is collecting information on the mass graves, a mandate from the UN's legislative body would be required before evidence could be taken into custody.

“We’ve called for an international investigation. How that will take place? It’s unclear at this time. There are certain parts of this organisation that have the authority to do that,” Dujarric said.

“In the meantime, it’s important that all forensic evidence be well preserved,” Dujarric added.

The horrific discovery of the three mass graves is only the start, large numbers of the recovered bodies show signs of torture, reports say that 10 bodies had their hands bound, while at least 20 of the bodies showed signs they were buried alive, according the findings of a preliminary investigation.

While the international community has showed disgust and horror at the discovery, human rights organizations are calling on the Israeli occupation to allow investigators into the Gaza Strip.

In comments published on Al-Jazeera News, Donatella Rovera, a senior advisor with Amnesty International said, “the expertise, the skills, the resources – such as the ability to carry out DNA tests – none of that is available [in Gaza], and to make matters worse, there is the constant bombardment."

“Where there is evidence of a crime committed yesterday, it may be destroyed by a bombardment committed today,” she added.

According to Amnesty International, human rights investigators haven't been allowed into Gaza for many years.

“Something can be done immediately. That is for the Israeli authorities to allow independent investigators in immediately. If they have nothing to hide, they should have no reason in preventing them getting into Gaza,” Rovera concluded.

Take a good look at the countries leading/have started the legal battles to hold the IOF accountable -their fights to end IOF terrorism and war crimes, as this should have been done months ago, are now beginning.

So many Palestinian people have been genocided, and the rampant global government inaction has caused chaos, death, and destruction of Gaza... I just hope this leads to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. I truly do.

Just as a reminder as I've just noticed myself - arab.org has more pages to support on

In case you're unfamiliar with how this site works, it confirms ad revenue via your clicks, which allows them to donate money to various funds

These go to:

Children -> UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund)

Fight Poverty -> UNDP (United Nations Development Programme)

Environment -> Greenpeace MENA (Middle East and North Africa)

Palestine -> UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency [for Palestine Refugees in the Near East])

Refugees -> UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees)

Women -> UN Women

Do more with your daily clicks! You can help each one once per individual (perhaps per IP address?) per day, letting you help out with six things at once?

US-specific advice for helping Palestine below cut.

Side note I'm keeping beneath the cut since it's relevant to US folks only: if you're really determined to help Palestine, vote for Dr. Cornel West, Ph.D. for President of the United States.

He's the most openly vocal about a free Palestine and is the only candidate who has demonstrably shown he is the most committed and prepared to immediately cease US support to Israel.

Joe Biden isn't going to cave if he gets re-elected. We all know that. Voting third party is a lot less risky than you've been taught - the two party system can replace one or both parties with new parties if they lose public favour.

We have both the people and the ability to unseat the Democratic party and install Socialism, and between Socialism and Republicans, Socialism is going to lock in place immediately and become the dominant political force in America.

Cornel West's Platform

Cornel West's Volunteer Events

Cornel West's Ballot Access Tracker and Ballot Access Plans

Tumblr thread I have of Primary/Caucus polling dates in the US (includes US territories)

Not on your Primary/Caucus ballot? Write-in, "Cornel West," on your ballot, or urge your Caucus representatives to do the same.

In a state where it's difficult for Independent candidates to get ballot access? Dr. Cornel West, Ph.D. thought ahead and has created a new party for those states called the Justice for All Party.

(Addendum: Claudia de la Cruz is not a viable alternative. The Party for Socialism and Liberation has a Conservative 5th Column and has frequent issues with discrimination.)

Free Palestine. Vote for Cornel West.

A crowdfunding appeal has been launched to help a 29-year-old Black trans woman who lost both her legs after allegedly being thrown onto NYC subway tracks by her boyfriend. A statement from the New York City District Attorney confirms that the victim and her boyfriend were at the Fulton St. station in Brooklyn when the man is said to have seen the oncoming downtown train coming and “thrown” his girlfriend towards the tracks. “The victim was rushed to the hospital, where both of her legs had to be amputated. She also suffered from fractures to her ribs and a blood clot in her lungs,” the statement continues. When the police arrived, they found the woman under the train, reports Into. The woman has since taken part in an interview with trans activist Hope Giselle, and explains that she was on her way to a gender-affirming appointment when she alleges that she and her boyfriend got into an argument and he “threw” her onto the tracks.

48 million people in Sudan still can not contact their families across the diaspora. They're cut off from the internet, which includes their online banking services as well. Thousands of displaced Sudanese people were also recently turned away as asylum seekers:

This continues to be horrifying. Please keep talking about Sudan.
