The girl was found critically ill in a makeshift clinic, suffering from an untreated infection following a sexual assault. Her family said Russian fighters had burst into their tent, forced everyone outside at gunpoint, beheaded the girl’s uncle and raped her inside. “We were so scared that we were not even able to scream anymore,” her aunt said. The family fled the next day after al-Qaida-affiliated JNIM militants ordered them to leave, travelling for three days before reaching Mauritania, where the girl collapsed.

Ukraine's Zelenskiy drops NATO ambition as Berlin peace talks begin
The move marks a major shift for Ukraine, which has fought to join NATO as a safeguard against Russian attacks and has such an aspiration included in its constitution. It also meets one of Russia's war aims, although Kyiv has so far held firm against ceding territory to Moscow. Zelenskiy met the U.S. envoys at talks hosted by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who a source said had made brief remarks before leaving the two sides to negotiate. Other European leaders are also due in Germany for talks on Monday.

Inside Kristi Noem's bitter feud with Trump's border czar
Noem, a former South Dakota governor, has spent millions of department dollars on a controversial campaign-style ad blitz that some insiders believe promotes her as much as the department's mission. That rankles career immigration officials, many of whom are loyal to Homan, a 30-year immigration-enforcement vet. Insiders have personally complained to Trump about Noem's management and the role of her top adviser, Trump campaign veteran Corey Lewandowski, who in effect runs DHS, the sources said.

Greece’s Broken Democracy Is a Warning for Europe
On the night of his election victory on July 7, 2019, new prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis declared that Greece was “returning to normal.” Leader of the right-wing New Democracy party, Mitsotakis promised a government of the “best and brightest” and drew a line under the previous four years of Syriza rule, vowing to erase its legacy piece by piece. More than six years on, that promised “normal” looks less like stability and more like a permanent state of managed scandal. Mitsotakis’s tenure has unfolded in a landscape marred by allegations of corruption, financial mismanagement, illegal surveillance, cover-ups, abuse of European Union funds, manipulation of the justice system, and a tightly controlled propaganda machine financed through state resources. It’s something we hadn’t seen since the fall of the military dictatorship. In that half-century of democracy, there has been no comparable case of a governing party that so stubbornly refused to police its own ranks, shielded itself from scrutiny with such discipline, and retaliated so aggressively against anyone who dares challenge its record. This is made all the easier by a weakened opposition — and a wider left that has been disorganized for years. This has given New Democracy a virtually free hand to reshape Greek politics. The Greek state in the postausterity era is starting to resemble a neoliberal authoritarian model of governance, in which market dogma and executive power march in lockstep while democratic accountability is treated as an optional extra. This has all been enabled and sanitized by the European Union, which today sells Greece as a model of responsible governance. In the current term, the European Parliament’s biggest bloc — the center-right European People’s Party (EPP), of which New Democracy is a member — has repeatedly moved to protect Mitsotakis and his government, blocking attempts to confront mounting evidence and allegations of systemic corruption — including those under investigation by Europe’s first chief prosecutor, Laura Kövesi.

The Poverty of Philosophy by Karl Marx Chapter Two: The Metaphysics of Political Economy PT. 1 The Method
Here we are, right in Germany! We shall now have to talk metaphysics while talking political economy. And in this again we shall but follow M. Proudhon's “contradictions.” Just now he forced us to speak English, to become pretty well English ourselves. Now the scene is changing. M. Proudhon is transporting us to our dear fatherland and is forcing us, whether we like it or not, to become German again. If the Englishman transforms men into hats, the German transforms hats into ideas. The Englishman is Ricardo, rich banker and distinguished economist; the German is Hegel, simple professor at the University of Berlin. Louis XV, the last absolute monarch and representative of the decadence of French royalty, had attached to his person a physician who was himself France's first economist. This doctor, this economist, represented the imminent and certain triumph of the French bourgeoisie. Doctor Quesnay made a science out of political economy; he summarized it in his famous Tableau économique. Besides the thousand and one commentaries on this table which have appeared, we possess one by the doctor himself. It is the “Analysis of the Economic Table,” followed by “seven important observations.” M. Proudhon is another Dr. Quesnay. He is the Quesnay of the metaphysics of political economy. Now metaphysics – indeed all philosophy – can be summed up, according to Hegel, in method. We must, therefore, try to elucidate the method of M. Proudhon, which is at least as foggy as the Economic Table. It is for this reason that we are making seven more or less important observations. If Dr. Proudhon is not pleased with our observations, well, then, he will have to become an Abbe Baydeau and give the “explanation of the economico-metaphysical method” himself.
