Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.
The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.
Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.
I don’t know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia’s youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.

https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.

https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a ‘propaganda tax’, if you don’t believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.

FOCAC 2024: The People’s Republic of China wants to grant financial aid without compensation of 17 billion CFA francs to Burkina Faso
spoiler
The day after the holding of the 9th Forum on Sino-African Cooperation (FOCAC) , the Youth Club for the Promotion of Sino-Burkinabè Cooperation (CJPC-BF) organized, this Saturday, September 28, 2024, a reflection workshop dedicated to the restitution of the work of said Forum. The objective of this workshop is to better understand the results of this forum and to take advantage of the opportunities it presents for Burkina Faso.
The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) is, according to Lu Shan, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Burkina Faso, of importance between their country and Burkina Faso. “I think this summit allows China and Africa and more specifically Burkina Faso to raise the level of their relationship. (…) This summit allows us to draw up the roadmap for Sino-Burkinabe cooperation,” he stressed.
He also indicated that through this 9th FOCAC, concrete initiatives in favor of Burkina Faso have been taken. "China will grant a customs tariff of 0 to 100% of Burkinabe products and also an aid without counterpart of 17 billion CFA francs and also a food aid of one billion CFA francs , " said the Chinese diplomat.
While stressing that both parties (Burkina Faso and the People’s Republic of China, editor’s note) must increase the volume and quality of cooperation, Lu Shan welcomed the holding of the reflection workshop devoted to the restitution of the 9th FOCAC.
“I think that this (the 9th FOCAC reflection workshop, Editor’s note) demonstrates the keen interest that Burkina Faso has in Sino-Burkinabe cooperation ,” he said. This workshop, according to Abdoul Razahagou Dene, national general coordinator of the Youth Club for the Promotion of Sino-Burkinabe Cooperation (CJPC-BF), aims to better understand the results of this forum and to take advantage of the opportunities it presents to Burkina Faso, particularly through the involvement of young people.
According to him, it will be a question of proposing initiatives and taking ownership of the commitments made during this 9th FOCAC. “This workshop must thus result in strategic recommendations so that our country can, in a proactive manner, benefit from infrastructure, financing and partnerships, while consolidating our cultural and diplomatic ties with China ,” Abdoul Razahagou Dene suggested.
In other words, according to the vice president of the organizing committee of the said workshop, Stéphane Zongo, it is a question of bringing the decisions taken during the 9th FOCAC to the entire Burkinabe population and also to local actors. “And depending on the decisions that will be taken, make a report so that the decisions that will be taken are based on what the population is asking for ,” said Stéphane Zongo.
