  • Margus Tsahkna
    Margus Tsahkna “This is a hybrid attack. If we look at the very different spheres of life in which Russia interferes in our lives on our territory. Whether it is deliberate attacks through the special services on our public assets, on our monuments. Whether it is cyberattacks, or whether it is completely deliberate action in terms of jamming the GPS signal. Russia knows very well that the interference they are causing is very dangerous for our air traffic and, specifically, is also in breach of international conventions to which Russia is a party. So, this is a deliberate action that is disrupting our lives, putting people's lives at risk.” 15 hours ago
  • Osama Hamdan
    Osama Hamdan “It's clear from the Israeli paper that they are still insisting on two major issues. They don't want a complete ceasefire and they are not talking, in a serious way, about the withdrawal from Gaza. In fact, they are still talking about their presence … which means that they will keep continuing [occupying] Gaza. We have serious questions for the mediators. If there [are] positive answers, I think we can move forward. Stopping the attacks against Palestinians is not generous [Blinken claimed that the Israeli proposal was an 'extraordinarily generous' offer]. The attack itself is a crime, so when you stop a crime, you can't claim that it's a generous action from the Israeli side.” 16 hours ago
  • Tim Wu
    Tim Wu “ByteDance, for its part, maintains that it is not actually subject to control by the Chinese government. The weight of the evidence suggests otherwise: The Chinese state owns a “golden share” in the company, the firm is based in China, and studies suggest that the government shapes TikTok content in accordance with party preferences. ByteDance has said it has no plans to sell TikTok; but that might merely be a means of driving up the price. What the company now has is a golden opportunity to prove its independence for once and for all: by selling TikTok and taking the money.” 18 hours ago
  • Jens Stoltenberg
    Jens Stoltenberg “For months the U.S. was unable to agree a package and European allies have been unable to deliver ammunition at the scale we promised. Ukraine has been outgunned for months and forced to ration its ammunition.... More support is on the way.” 18 hours ago
  • Ting-yu Wang
    Ting-yu Wang “A visit to China by a group of 17 Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmakers is doing nothing regarding China's continuing military intimidation against Taiwan. The KMT members have become tools for Beijing's united front propaganda campaign. Beijing is manipulating Taiwan's parliament by using democracy to kill democracy. It is regretful that the 17 KMT lawmakers now in China are afraid to speak up for Taiwan, as we still face constant military threats from China and intimidatory gray zone tactics. We cannot see how the KMT's 'trip to promote peace and friendship' has achieved anything. Instead they are acting like sycophants by pandering to Chinese officials.” 19 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Timely support for our army. Today I don't see anything positive on this point yet. There are supplies, they have slowly begun, but this process needs to be sped up. Promptness in supply literally means a stabilization of the front line.... Together we must disrupt the Russian offensive.” 19 hours ago
  • Natasa Pirc Musar
    Natasa Pirc Musar “I am supporting him [Borut Pahor]. Pahor would be a good candidate. His political experience of 17 years in the highest positions in my republic shows he is capable of holding such a position. Slovenia is an ideal candidate for that [role, EU special envoy for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue], knowing the region, we know the mentality, the culture, because of the roots from the past and I can assure you that Slovenia never has a hidden agenda. That is our added value.” 19 hours ago

“The delegation from the transport ministry which has come to Balkh held talks with Uzbekistan officials on airport reconstruction and the railway. Talks were also held on Afghanistan's electricity bill debt to Uzbekistan, and we said when the banking system problems are resolved we will pay the bill and Uzbekistan should not cut the imported electricity.”

“I have worked for around 15 years in various media outlets. My job was directing and programming and I worked for 10 years at Khurshid TV. After I lost my job, and with the increased level of poverty and misery in our country, with the little money that I had I bought this cart to work and be prepared for the winter.”

“The situation is desperate and the amount of cash is dwindling. There is enough right now ... to keep Afghanistan going until the end of the year. Europe is going to be affected most severely, if Afghanistan does not get access to this money. You will have a double whammy of not being able to find bread and not being able to afford it. People will be desperate. They are going to go to Europe.”

“The acting foreign minister says Afghanistan is looking to the international community to help solve its financial woes. You are looking at a country that is heavily dependent on international aid with an evolving humanitarian crisis on the ground. It is asking the US lifts economic restrictions, unfreeze its assets or lift restrictions at the Afghan national bank. It says it needs to be able to pay its employees and be able to provide services to the Afghan people.”

“Afghanistan usually pays $20 million to $25 million a month in total to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Iran and now upaid bills stand at $62 million. These countries may cut the power supply any day they want. We've asked the UNAMA [United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan] in Kabul to assist the people of Afghanistan to pay the country's power suppliers as part of their humanitarian aid.”

“The decision on withdrawing $25,000 per month will create challenges for us. We call the decision unjust. A company cannot operate by $25,000 a month. A company has a lot of expenses.”

“We ensure that the aid [pledged by the international community at a UN meeting] will be distributed transparently to the people. We urge the Asian Development Bank and the Islamic Development Bank to support Afghanistan in the development sector, in education and in other areas.”

“Much of our business involving Afghanistan is low-value family and support remittances that support basic needs of the people there, so that's the grounding that we have and why we want to reopen our business... We are continuing to engage with the US government and others to understand their policies and what type of longer-term regulatory framework will be put in place as it relates to the Taliban.”

“Economic collapse could stimulate the production of more illicit drugs. If there is no way to fund a government, there won't be any more government jobs. A lot of people may head back to the land. Opium poppy cultivation is a very labour-intensive job. If there's more labour, there might be more opium. Whether that happens will be a function of how the Taliban chooses to run the country and how Western donors choose to engage with the Taliban. The imposition of widespread sanctions could well fuel an economic crisis that would lead to large numbers of refugees and increased levels of drug production, that would undoubtedly impact the region and Europe.”
