djellaba (traditional robe). It is a symbol of the war against Iran. My life is only a succession of dramas, he says.
Although he is only 57-year-old, this Syriac Christian with white hair and no teeth already looks like an old man. I can t afford to get treatment for myself. The $500 per month from my disability pension barely manages to feed my family, Najeeb explains.
A massive exodus
He s been unemployed for four years, but once dreamed of opening a restaurant. All my friends talked me out of it. And rightly so. No one would eat at a Christian-run place, he says.
An Anti-Imperialist Father and His American Diplomat Son that Malley’s appointment would constitute Biden’s “first foreign policy blunder.”
The suggestion that Malley is outside the Beltway mainstream is false. In fact, he’s a denizen of the American foreign policy establishment: credentialed by Yale and Harvard Law school, a clerkship on the Supreme Court, and stints on Bill Clinton and Barack Obama’s National Security Councils. Prior to joining the Biden administration, he ran the International Crisis Group, a prestigious conflict-resolution think tank based in Washington, DC. What distinguishes Malley is not his radicalism. Instead, as this previously unpublished June 2008 lecture reveals, it is his willingness to grapple with radicalism in particular the radicalism of anti-imperialist struggles in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East and for the most intimate of reasons.
Purported phosphine on Venus is more likely to be ordinary sulfur dioxide, a new study shows.
In September, a team led by astronomers in the United Kingdom announced that they had detected the chemical phosphine in the thick clouds of Venus.
The team’s reported detection, based on observations from two Earth-based radio telescopes, surprised many Venus experts.
Earth’s atmosphere contains small amounts of phosphine, which may be produced by life. Phosphine on Venus generated buzz that the planet, often succinctly touted as a “hellscape,” could somehow harbor life within its acidic clouds.

The mastermind of the Easter Sunday attacks was Naufer Moulavi, a mentor of NTJ leader Zahran Hashim, Minister of Public Security, Dr. Sarath Weerasekera said yesterday, when asked by a journalist whether there had been a foreign hand behind the attacks. Former Jamaat-e-Islami leader, Rasheed Hajjul Akbar too had played a main role, the Minister said.
The Minister said so at a press briefing in Colombo on the future of the report on the PCoI on the Easter carnage.
Weerasekera also said that there was no concrete evidence to prove that Pulasthini Rajendran alias Sarah Jasmine, the wife of Atchchi Muhammadu Muhammadu Hastun, who detonated a suicide bomb at St. Sebastian’s Church, Katuwapitiya on 21 April 2019, had escaped to India.
