๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ A Palestinian named Ahmed Manasra was released yesterday from prison after completing his nine-and-a-half-year sentence on charges of attempted murder even though he hadnโ€™t killed anyone, his lawyer Khaled Zabarqa said.

He was arrested at the age of 13 for allegedly taking part in a stabbing attack against settlers. In 2021, he was transferred to solitary confinement where he developed mental issues and had to rely on psychiatric help.

๐Ÿณ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฑ โ€” JNIM released a video of its' leader Mahmood Barry, leader of JNIM in Mali, giving the Eid al-Fitr sermon.

โžก๏ธ Notably it seems the whole JNIM leadership was able to meet in the open, including Iyad Agh Ghaly, Muhammad Koufa, Abu Hamza al Shinqiti, Ag Hitta, Abu Talha al Libi.

โžก๏ธ Although pro-AES media has been saying the Akinci drone that crashed was actually supervising that meeting and that Algeria shot it down to protect the terrorists, the sermon was made on the morning of Eid so well after the crash.

โžก๏ธ And secondly the meeting was not held in Tinzawaten on the border with Algeria, it was rather in central Mali near the border with Mauritania.

โžก๏ธ Barry talked about the inability of AES countries of providing basic needs such as food electricity and water to the people, and that the juntas are plundering resources to give them to the Russians.
