The Army decrees a curfew throughout Iraq: for the UN, the situation is really dangerous

The Armed Forces of Iraq They announced a curfew in all provinces of the country from tonight until further notice. The decision by the Iraqi Executive came after massive demonstrations in favor of the Shiite cleric Muqtada Al Sadr, who announced that he would definitively withdraw from politics.

Following the religious leader’s announcement, tens of thousands of Al Sadr supporters took to the streets and stormed the Presidential Palace and the Government Palace, in the fortified Green Zone of Baghdad, the capital of the Arab country. According to the AFP agency, medical sources of Iraq they reported that at least two people died and 22 were injured.

Al Sadr supporters in the pool of the Republican Palace in Baghdad.

UNAMI (United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq) called on all protesters to leave Baghdad’s Green Zone, the area of ​​the city where the main government buildings are located, as well as the embassies of major foreign powers. “Today’s events show an extremely dangerous situation,” the Mission said in a note.

“We call on everyone to remain calm, cooperate with the security forces and avoid actions that could trigger an unstoppable chain of events,” said UNAMI, which extended the request to all political actors to lower tension and restore dialogue. “Iraqis cannot be held hostage to an unpredictable and unsustainable situation. “The survival of the (Iraqi) state is at stake”he concluded.

Source: (Euronews)

Background

Iraq He has been experiencing a political paralysis for almost a year. The parties in Parliament were not able to form alliances to appoint a president, a prime minister and a government. The proposals of Al Sadr (whose formation was the winner in the elections) were boycotted by the so-called Coordination Framework, an alliance of parties close to Iran. This already tense situation has worsened in recent weeks.

Why re-designating the Delaware National Recreation Area as a national park is a bad idea

To the editor:

There is a proposal to create a new National Park only 70 miles from New York City. Sounds fantastic right? So, why so much opposition? Well, the proposal to turn the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area into the Delaware River National Park and Lenape Preserve turns out to be a mind-boggling debacle of negatives.

Proponents claim there would be increased environmental protections, but the 70,000 acres of land in question is already a federally protected National Recreation Area owned and managed by the National Park Service. In fact there is not a single additional protection proponents point to that is needed or listed to be implemented.

Meanwhile proponents point out that as many as 1 million new visitors would be expected in the first year of the change. Environmental groups like the Delaware Riverkeeper Network point out that these new visitors and the infrastructure upgrades required to support them would have a significant negative environmental impact on water quality, sensitive riparian habitat, and the surrounding ecosystems.

Next, proponents claim that the change would lead to increased funding for the currently under-funded Recreation Area, but when pressed do admit that whether the land is designated as a Recreation Area, or a National Park has zero effect on the funding the area receives from Congress and the Department of Interior.

Proponents also have stated that creating a new National Park is a diversity, equity, and inclusion issue despite the reality that National Park status would risk limiting recreational activities and limit access to the remaining recreational activities through the requirement of entrances fees, permits, and the like—the Recreation Area is currently free to enter, and most activities are completely free to enjoy with the limited exception of specific use fees at life-guarded beaches and some boat launches. Low-income…

Native-Owned Fashion Featured in Marvel’s ‘She-Hulk’

Details By Neely Bardwell September 01, 2022

In Marvel Studios’ new streaming TV show She-Hulk, actor Mark Ruffalo, who plays the Hulk, is featured in several scenes sporting T-shirts created by Native-owned company Ginew USA.

Ginew is North America’s first Native-owned denim company and is owned and operated by couple Amanda Bruegl (Oneida, Stockbridge-Munsee) and Erik Brodt (Ojibwe). In addition to running Ginew, both Bruegl and Brodt are full-time physicians.

Based in Portland, Ore., the company’s self-described “Native Americana” products are a fusion of Native American style with Ojibwe, Oneida and Stockbridge-Munsee design elements in heirloom-quality garments and goods from premium materials.

“We’re the only American Indian-owned denim brand that we know of, in the world,” Brodt explained in an interview with Native News Online. “We started kind of like a little bit of lightning in a bottle. My dad shot a buffalo for our wedding ceremony, and we didn’t want to give purchased gifts away, so we made buffalo belts for all the people that were in the wedding ceremony. We kind of became a brand overnight.”

The line has since been featured in Vogue, GQ, and now on She-Hulk. Brodt explains that Ruffalo advocated for the brand to be featured. The actor has proven to be a strong supporter of Native issues, showing up at Carlisle Indian School for a repatriation transfer event and joining the protests at Standing Rock in 2016.  

“Mark Ruffalo had reached out to us ahead of time and connected us with people on his staff or team to get some designs of T-shirts, and they really kind of took it from there,” Brodt said. “I think it was his advocacy that got us included in The Hulk’s wardrobe.

Every…
