What is the MENA region?
MENA is the acronym for “Middle East and North Africa”, regularly used in academic and business writings. It refers to a large region, from Morocco in northwest Africa to Iran in southwest Asia, which generally includes all the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. (1)
In a devastating and violent incident, a roadside bomb exploded near a convoy of foreign diplomats travelling through Pakistan’s scenic Swat Valley.

Il peut aussi frapper tout porte-avions à moins de 4000 kilomètres des points de lancement en Syrie, en Irak, en Iran ou au Yémen et peut-être d’autres endroits mystérieux – rendant leurs avions inutiles.
Les tensions au Moyen-Orient sont à leur comble, avec une attaque présumée du Mossad visant des milliers de bipeurs et d’autres appareils électroniques domestiques au Liban. Cette escalade survient alors que la guerre sanglante à Gaza approche de son premier anniversaire.
Prime Minister Robert Fico’s government coalition has de facto seized control of the parliamentary committee overseeing the Slovak Intelligence Service (SIS), traditionally led by the opposition, leading to fears about its impartiality and ability to investigate matters such as the alleged purchase of Pegasus spyware and concerns about bomb threats to schools.

The Israel Defense Forces are ramping up attacks over Lebanon clearly designed to wholly destroy Hezbollah; having struck some 1,300 targets to date, the Israeli operation has killed at least 550, wounded over 1,800, and already displaced thousands, sowing widespread panic.
As Lebanon continues to bear the devastating brunt of the Israeli campaign, Hezbollah will be increasingly at risk of losing credibility with those who want revenge for the widespread destruction and those angry at the militant group for unnecessarily dragging them into war.
Hezbollah has announced the martyrdom of the great jihadist leader Hajj Ibrahim Aqil (Hajj Abdul Qadir) on the path to Jerusalem. He has joined the procession of his brothers among the great martyr leaders after a blessed life filled with jihad, work, wounds, sacrifices, dangers, challenges, achievements, and victories.
Nous allons l’appeler le Système. Presque tout le monde est un adepte consentant ou non de cette secte. Sans s’en rendre compte. C’est pour votre «Sécurité», peu importe que vous en perdiez votre liberté.
Dans cette secte, faire de la production de fruits et légumes bio et les revendre n’est pas autorisé, sauf évidemment si vous payez un supplément. Par contre, vous pouvez empoisonner vos aliments avec des pesticides, cela ne pose pas de problèmes. Dans le Système, pour vous soigner, vous devez utiliser «la bonne méthode». Celle de médicaments chimiques et de chimiothérapie. Si vous utilisez des méthodes naturelles pour guérir vos patients, vous serez banni de l’Ordre des Médecins. Car vous ne fournissez pas d’argent à l’une des branches de la secte, c’est-à-dire Big Pharma, l’une des plaques tournantes du Système, aux côtés des Banques et de quelques autres.
