Footage of Trump mentioning WikiLeaks and its releases over 140 times in October 2016 alone has since resurfaced, suggesting that Trump’s recent claims of ignorance in regard to Assange and WikiLeaks are insincere at best.

The war has given rise to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Three-quarters of Yemen’s people require life-saving assistance and more than 8 million are at risk of starvation. Tens of thousands of people are believed to have been killed in the fighting.

The agencies are being sued under what is known as Directive 191, a government policy that requires American institutions to warn individuals of “impending threats of intentional killing, serious bodily injury or kidnapping”

Despite progress in peace talks and an appeal for calm, huge numbers of Yemeni residents have already responded to renewed Saudi coalition attacks by taking to the battlefield today.

Trump’s policy of not just exiting JCPOA, but of going that ‘mile’ further in seeking to overthrow Iran as well, through sanctions will eventually become seen as ‘the Albatross’ which Trump injudiciously – and without compelling need – hung about his own neck.

“This ban is illegal, will put people’s lives in danger and raises the alarm about President Trump’s disregard for separation of powers,” said Lee Gelernt of the ACLU.

The BDS movement has served as one of the most effective methods for drawing attention to Israel’s occupation of Palestine and apartheid policies — similar to the boycott movements that successfully targeted apartheid South Africa.

UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths said both the Saudi-backed government and the Houthis have shown a “renewed commitment to work on a political solution and have given firm assurances that they will attend the talks.”

While AQAP has benefitted from U.S. “counterterrorism” policies in the country, Yemen’s civilians have found little to no reprieve, as they are either targets of the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war in Western Yemen or targeted by drone strikes in the areas of Yemen under coalition control.

Following the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, much of the West has started turning its back on Saudi Arabia, and on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in particular.

The U.S. will likely do all it can to prevent an upcoming Syrian military offensive in Idlib, with the aim of protecting its own interests in Syria, even if it means backing a force of rebels united in their allegiance to al Qaeda.

While Israel experiences battlefield losses in Gaza, which it once completely dominated, its war against BDS is surely a lost battle.

The Guardian continues its relentless campaign of demonization against Nicaragua’s elected government with a falsehood-filled cover-up for the Catholic church leaders under fire for leading a violent coup.
