Retired French Lt. Gen. Michel Yakovleff likened joining Trump's naval coalition now to buying a cut-price ticket for the Titanic after it hit the iceberg—a sharp warning amid the U.S.-Iran crisis choking global oil flows.

Yakovleff, a NATO veteran, listed five reasons to decline: need for unified command, clear goals, restored trust, shared political risk, and avoiding reinforcement of failure—sparking divided online reactions from praise as a takedown to dismissals of French input.

UN Expert Praises Somalia's Rights Record, Draws Backlash for US Criticism

News

A UN counter-terrorism expert spotlighted Somalia as a rights protector amid its Al-Shabaab fight, then slammed the US for aggression—prompting swift online mockery.

Zusammenfassung

Ben Saul, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in counter-terrorism, praised Somalia during a Geneva Human Rights Council session for strengthening rights protections via its 2023 Counter-Terrorism Act, despite facing an existential threat from militants. He contrasted this with US actions described as raining death on Iran and Venezuela. Critics highlighted Somalia's poor Freedom House score of 8/100 and reports of abuses, while questioning Saul's mandate funded partly by China and accusing the UN of bias. The exchange revealed tensions in evaluating rights amid ongoing violence and heavy US aid to Somalia.
