The Siege of the Alamo began February 23, 1836, when General Santa Anna's forces surrounded the fortified mission in San Antonio, home to leaders like James Bowie and Davy Crockett. For 13 days, the outnumbered defenders held out under heavy fire until a pre-dawn assault on March 6 overwhelmed them, killing nearly all. Though a loss, their stand inspired the 'Remember the Alamo!' cry that led to Texas victory at San Jacinto. Today, the 190th anniversary draws reflections on the chapel's legacy, family visits, and planned reenactments through March 6.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

On a crisp morning in 1836, about 200 Texian defenders inside the old mission faced down 1,500 Mexican troops demanding surrender. Lt. Col. William B. Travis fired back—with a cannon shot and his 'Victory or Death' letter.

On February 20, farmers from Ghana's Western North Region rallied at COCOBOD in Accra against a mid-season price drop from GH¢3,625 to GH¢2,587 per 64kg bag, triggered by global cocoa prices falling over 70% to around $3,200 per tonne. Placards highlighted broken promises of GH¢6,000 or GH¢7,000, while COCOBOD assured ongoing payments of over GH¢1.09 billion in arrears.

On Thursday, Jackson Hinkle's X post labeling Taiwan a 'fake country' under China drew sharp rebuttals and support, spotlighting Taiwan's limited diplomatic recognition by only 12 UN members and the Holy See amid the unresolved Chinese Civil War. Taiwan governs 23 million people democratically, holds multiparty elections, maintains a 215,000-strong military, and receives U.S. arms support, including a recent $330 million package. Public opinion strongly favors the status quo or independence, with over 80% rejecting China's 'one country, two systems' model, reflecting broader geopolitical divides.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Influencer Jackson Hinkle declared Taiwan a 'fake country' that belongs to China, igniting a heated online clash viewed over 65,000 times. The post amplified longstanding tensions between China's unification claims and Taiwan's 76 years of independent self-governance.

Yad Vashem's post referenced an order by Nazi governor Hans Frank requiring Jews aged 10 and older in occupied Polish territory to wear white armbands with a blue Star of David starting December 1, 1939. The Auschwitz Memorial, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, and others objected to the phrasing, insisting it specify German occupation to accurately reflect Poland's victim status during World War II. Poland summoned Israel's ambassador on Monday amid longstanding sensitivities in Holocaust narratives. Yad Vashem noted its linked article clarifies the German authorities' role, but has not altered the original post.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Marking a grim 1939 anniversary, Yad Vashem described a Nazi decree forcing Jews in Poland to wear badges—omitting that the country was under German occupation at the time. The Auschwitz Memorial quickly pointed out this key historical detail.

Simeone insists on competing everywhere, but insiders suggest resting stars like Griezmann for the Camp Nou clash amid a packed schedule including Club Brugge playoffs.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

The comedian reposted a pro-separatist reel on February 17, styled as Premier Danielle Smith's words, though her office clarifies she seeks sovereignty within Canada, not separation.
