And if you too wondered, our progression,

π₯ The SDG Report 2024
UNStats | Aug 8, 2024
According to the report, with just six years remaining, current progress falls far short of what is required to meet the SDGs. Without massive investment and scaled up action, the achievement of the SDGs β the blueprint for a more resilient and prosperous world and the roadmap out of current global crises β will remain elusive. The lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, escalating conflicts, geopolitical tensions and growing climate chaos have severely hindered progress.

π₯ Israeli army raids and shuts down Al Jazeeraβs West Bank bureau
Al Jazeera English | Sep 21, 2024
Israeli forces stormed Al Jazeeraβs bureau in Ramallah, in the Occupied West Bank, early on Sunday, shutting down its operations. The Israeli militaryβs closure order accused the network of "incitement to and support of terrorism," according to Al Jazeeraβs bureau chief Walid Al-Omari. The closure order has been handed to the networkβs legal team for review. The initial statement ordered the officeβs closure for 45 days, a decision made by an Israeli general, requiring staff to vacate immediately with their personal belongings and Cameras. Further details are to be provided at Israeli military headquarters.
I truly donβt understand,
terms coined, morality, democracy,
as Israel would like,
for us to believe..
They also tore down,
a banner atop,
slain, proclaimed,
journalist,
Shireen Abu Akleh,
but donβt you fret!
weβll always honor,
always remember,
and that pure red,
liquid life,
invisible light,
never quite, washes clean
Okay now!
back to the future!
UN summit!
sure do hope!
weβre included!π€
60 pages, 56 actions,
six and a half,
hours so later!
buzzwords, catchphrase,
I too now memorized,
countries did pledge,
non-binding pact,
plus two annexes,
a Global Digital Compact,
and a Declaration,
on Future Generations,
adopted, blueprint,
albeit some very,
dramatic beginnings!
And then followed,
some pensive concern,
implementation..
such as protection,
civilians in conflict,
because hush now, we know,
theyβre violated daily today,
but sure! the future is bright!
and so multilateral!
multidimensional!
multiracial!
and multicultural!
blah blah blah,
a pace to match,
a changing world,
protect the needs,
and interests of..
generations facing,
persistent crisis,
oh please, may I interject?
propose we start?
with Falastin??
agreement comes,
as with child-birth,
some nine months so,
negotiations..

πΆ Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag And Smile, Smile, Smile
Palestine should be at the top of the agenda!
I'm really scared about what will happen in the West Bank that they don't want Al Jazeera reporting on.
Take care, Najwan, and thanks for doing your part.
Shukran dear Najwan. The IOF continue to break records in not only in criminality but also in stupidity. They think that by tearing down Our Beloved Shireenβs picture they would erase her memory from our collective memory.
