Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking. The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports. This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp. Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users. Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.

My understanding is that there is a fundamental contradiction in how Nepali communism is viewed outside Nepal. On the one hand, Nepali communism is thought of as a Chinese export, but on the other, it is widely viewed as a version of Indian communism, which is primarily rooted in caste and ethnic politics. This misconception, I think, stems from viewing Nepali social order as a mini version of the Indo-Gangetic society. Nepali civil war—to borrow the term from @Peter_Turchin—was likely a 'counter-elite' movement led by high-caste and relatively privileged people mobilising in the name of the oppressed and the disenfranchised. In that sense, the Nepali Maoist movement was much closer to West Bengal's Naxalite movement that emerged from labour movements and peasant uprisings. Of course, West Bengal is part of India, but it's much less based on caste politics than the rest of the country.

Bad versions of Western hospitality in Nepal - an example: view from my bed, in my hotel, in Nepal. I think I landed in Willy Wonka World! Nepalis try to make “Western hospitality” for westerners, but they simply have no idea what that means. So they end up doing things that are crazy, thinking it’s Western. Why don’t Nepalis act like Nepali, build like Nepali, be gracious like Nepali? Westerners coming here to see Nepal, not to see bad versions of what Nepalis think is Western. It’s ironic at best.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi says war with the United States is over.

BREAKING: President Trump publicly rebukes Israel over its war against Hezbollah. "Israel's fighting Hezbollah too long and too many people are being killed." Trump said he opposed strikes that destroy apartment buildings filled with civilians and revealed he urged Israel to let Syria take the lead against Hezbollah instead. "If Israel can't do the job without killing everyone else, he'll do the job. Syria will do the job."

2-2 . Iran is not settled yet. I can see a better football from them. Fighting US , Israel by self and qualifying for the World Cup. Get one more Iran.

1-1 now game on. Iran will get better and better from here.

Who is cheering for Iran? Thought their fans were stopped from going there. Is this the cheering music being played by the fantastic American propaganda ministry?

Death Penalty required.

Today’s ruling to uphold the UK government's proscription of Palestine Action is a travesty of justice. One by one, the very foundations of our democracy are being destroyed — all to oil the wheels of British complicity in genocide. Our government has participated in the mass murder of Palestinians. That is the real crime, and we must bring about justice.
