🔥 The Biden administration will send 1,500 active-duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border starting next week, ahead of an expected migrant surge following the end of coronavirus pandemic-era restrictions.
Military personnel will do data entry, warehouse support and other administrative tasks so that U.S. Customs and Border Protection can focus on fieldwork, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday. The troops “will not be performing law enforcement functions or interacting with immigrants, or migrants,” Jean-Pierre said. “This will free up Border Patrol agents to perform their critical law enforcement duties.”
They will be deployed for 90 days, and will be pulled from the Army and Marine Corps, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will look to backfill with National Guard or Reserve troops during that period, Pentagon spokesman Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said. There are already 2,500 National Guard members at the border.
The COVID-19 restrictions have allowed U.S. officials to turn away tens of thousands of migrants crossing the southern border, but those restrictions will lift May 11, and border officials are bracing for a surge. Even amid the restrictions, the administration has seen record numbers of people crossing the border, and President Joe Biden has responded by cracking down on those who cross illegally and by creating new pathways meant to offer alternatives to a dangerous and often deadly journey.
For Biden, who announced his Democratic reelection campaign a week ago, the decision signals his administration is taking seriously an effort to tamp down the number of illegal crossings, a potent source of Republican attacks, and sends a message to potential border crossers not to attempt the journey. But it also draws potentially unwelcome comparisons to Biden’s Republican predecessor, whose policies Biden frequently criticized. Congress, meanwhile, has refused to take any substantial immigration-related actions.
🔥 Surveillance footage from inside the immigration detention center in northern Mexico near the U.S. border where 38 migrants died in a dormitory fire appears to show guards walking away from the blaze and making no apparent attempt to release detainees.
The fire broke out when migrants fearing deportation set mattresses ablaze late Monday at the National Immigration Institute, a facility in Ciudad Juarez south of El Paso, Texas, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said.
Authorities originally reported 40 dead, but later said some may have been counted twice in the confusion. Twenty-eight people were injured and were in “delicate-serious” condition, according to the National Immigration Institute.
The security footage, which was broadcast and later authenticated by a Mexican official to a local reporter, shows at least two people dressed as guards rush into the frame, then run off as a cloud of smoke quickly filled the area. They did not appear to attempt to open cell doors so migrants could escape the fire.
Authorities were investigating the fire, the institute said. The country’s prosecutor general has launched an investigation, Andrea Chávez, federal deputy of Ciudad Juarez, said in a statement. Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission also was alerted.
Migrants and activists gathered outside an immigration centre in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, where at least 40 people died in a fire to call for justice after CCTV was released appearing to show guards leaving the building while smoke filled a locked cell with detainees inside. Human rights groups have blamed poor conditions and overcrowding for the fire. The Mexican president has said the fire, which broke out late on Monday, was caused by migrants setting fire to mattresses after discovering they were being deported. Activists have frequently called for better conditions in detention centres as the US and Mexico attempt to cope with record levels of border crossings.

A huge solar storm is reported to be heading towards the Earth as per the National Aeronautics Space Agency’s (NASA) latest report. The report also suggested that the solar storm has a very high chance of colliding with the Earth’s atmosphere on Monday (March 28), however, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) believes that the solar storm could enter the Earth’s atmosphere a few hours early (around 6 am on Monday).
While space operations are expected to be disrupted by the solar storm which has erupted on the Sun’s surface, the functioning of satellites orbiting around the Earth’s surface is also expected to witness some problems. While a bright glow is expected to be seen in the areas around the UK, Dr Tamitha Skov, known for her space forecasts, shared her views on the solar storm’s collision with Earth and stated that the effects could reach the ‘mid-latitudes’. Furthermore, she even stated that the people living in New York, Southern New Zealand and Tasmania could see the northern light in the dark.
Billy Tates, an astronomer from the University of Tennessee, added that the solar storm can have an illuminating effect in the Earth’s atmosphere, but at the same time could also affect the navigation systems. Raising a warning to all, NOAA shared a statement that read: While storms create beautiful auroras, they can also disrupt navigation systems such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and create harmful geomagnetic currents (GICs) in the electrical grid and channels.
While a small magnetic storm was experienced last month, it ended up destroying several SpaceX Starlink satellites, orbiting around the Earth’s surface.
💭 Ethiopian Jews Can’t Get The Same Embrace From Israel as Ukrainians
👉 Courtesy: Ynetnews
Opinion: Ukraine crisis is clear evidence of a racial imbalance in how the world responds to tragedies; while many open their doors to Europeans, few do so when it comes to refugees from Ethiopia, or other countries with populations of color
The past few days I couldn’t stop crying about the situation in Ukraine. Watching the news, reading articles and hearing reports took me to dark moments in my past. My heart broke to see people being victims again in a war that they did not choose to be part of.
I have watched videos of fathers saying goodbye to their children, mothers trying to save their babies. When I watch the news it invokes painful memories of my own childhood, of my family’s history. I don’t remember the experience of escaping civil war and famine in Ethiopia as a child. However, I heard and learned about it over the course of my childhood through my father, my family and my community. With the very limited information that I had, I began to piece together the true history of my people.
I only had a few years of happy home memories before everything changed forever. This was after my family and I escaped, in 1990, from a war-torn Ethiopia where Jews were targeted, and settled in Israel, in the town of Beit She’an. My fondest memories are of gathering around the dinner table, talking about our days and laughing at my father’s jokes. I was too young to realize the realities of being a refugee and the racism around me. I was in a naive reality, before the horrors of the world were to enter my life.
My father got sick when I was still very young. I was around 10 years old when I heard him cry for the first time. I didn’t understand why, but the more I listened carefully the more I started to hear him. He repeated one name so often that I had to ask someone in my family who it might be. It was his nephew, who was killed in front of my father by agents of the Derg junta as my father watched, unable to do anything to save him.
The world around me shattered. I learned that the world is a cruel place, and that there are people who are meant to suffer unfathomable things when they don’t deserve it because of disconnected leaders with selfish agendas.
I was overwhelmed and overjoyed, then, to see how the world came together in condemning and isolating Russian President Vladimir Putin for what he is doing to Ukraine. The way Israel and the world acted so quickly to help Ukrainians to escape, and to help others to fight the war alongside them, was nothing short of extraordinary. When people started to advocate for Ukraine, I joined. I changed my profile picture on social media to the Ukrainian flag.
A few days later, however, someone from my Ethiopian community asked why I didn’t post the Ethiopian flag, when the government there has recently and regularly targeted civilians in a 16-month-old war against rebellious forces of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front.
I was ashamed. I had done what many white people do: I had brushed off what happened to my people, to Africa, to the Middle East, South Asia and Latin America. Why does the survival of one country matter more than another’s? Why does one group of people have more value than another?
When I realized my mistake, I felt rage and the urge to do something about it. I started to do research, make phone calls, ask questions. I reached out to everyone I knew in order to find out more about what is happening in Ethiopia and what we are doing about it.
There is clear evidence of a racial imbalance in how we respond to tragedies, not just in Israel but throughout the world. Many countries have opened their doors to the Ukrainian people, but not to refugees from Ethiopia, or other countries with populations of color.
Despite a pledge to speed up its evacuations of some of the relatives of Ethiopian Israelis who remain in the country in the midst of an escalating civil war, the Israeli government seems to be making it more difficult for Ethiopian Jews to make it into Israel. Case in point: The Israeli High Court has frozen the planned entrance of 7,000-12,000 Ethiopians into the country for more than a month. Meanwhile, the same government is preparing to receive several thousand Jewish Ukrainians, and to take in 5,000 non-Jewish Ukrainian refugees.
Preventing these Ethiopians from entering Israel keeps them in harm’s way while their case gets reviewed by the High Court, and it’s all because of those in Israel who question the Jewishness of those individuals. Ukrainians of any faith are rushed in, while Ethiopians of Jewish heritage are kept out.
The Ukrainian conflict is a perfect example of the world’s hypocrisy. It shows how little Black and brown skin matters. The voices of other refugees aren’t shared on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter. War in Ethiopia and other countries is not as appealing to the international media.
But it’s up to each one of us to be their voice. We’re seeing big companies, sports teams, celebrities and governments boycotting Russia and blocking Putin in every way they can. But my wish is that the world will also treat Black and dark-skinned people the way they treat those who are white. A world, for example, that won’t stand for border guards in a war-torn Ukraine preventing brown students from fleeing the country while allowing white Ukrainians to get out.
What is happening in Ukraine is appalling, and we should all absolutely unite to fight oppression and murder any time it happens, but we can’t only do this when it is appealing to our racial or economic biases. Ethiopia is worthy of our time; all suffering around the world is worthy of our time. If we cared about human life more than we care about oil and military spheres of influence and our own racial biases, there would be less suffering in this world.
Let’s be a megaphone for the voices that have been drowned out.
💭 In the video, armed men burning civilians to death in Western Ethiopia. Some of the men in the crowd are wearing Ethiopian military uniforms as well as uniforms from other regional security forces.
[Leviticus 18:21]
„Never give your children as sacrifices to the god Molech by burning them alive. If you do, you are dishonoring the name of your Elohim. I am Yahweh.”
The Bible instructs believers that the AntiChrist Beast will first come in as a Peacemaker who will have the ability to get Israel (New Testament Orthodox Christian Nations) to sign a seven year peace treaty, which will enable them to build a third Temple at Jerusalem in exchange for allowing their “former” enemies to move into their neighborhoods and live together as “friendly” neighbors.
[Daniel 11:21]
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Daniel 11:21 says that the Antichrist will “come in peaceably”. Many Christians think that this means that the Antichrist will be received as a great peace maker or even be accepted as a Jewish Messiah. I don’t think that the Bible tells us that the Antichrist will be received as a Jewish Messiah. Although he may already be being received as a Muslim Mahdi.
Daniel describes a leader who will come in “come in peaceably”. This is first applied to Antiochous Epiphanies. Antiochous Epiphanies was a prince in the Seleucid dynasty. The Seleucid dynasty ruled over one quarter of the Grecian Empire and ruled from Antioch of Syria. Antiochous Epiphanies’ brother was the king over the Seleucid dynasty. Antiochous Epiphanies’ brother was imprisoned in Egypt. While the king was in prison, the king’s infant son was made king. Antiochous Epiphanies proclaimed himself as co-regent with the young boy and then killed his brother’s son making himself sole ruler over the Seleucid dynasty. So Antiochous Epiphanies became king by treacherous means. That’s what the word “flatteries” means at the end of Dan 11:21. Antiochous Epiphanies became king without military conquest. He gained power “peaceably”.
Dan 11:21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Now that you have had our Bible history lesson let’s see what Daniel says about future events. Most Bible teachers also apply Daniel 11:21 to the actions of the coming Antichrist.
In the past seven years Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who actually is of Georgian ancestry has gained absolute authority over Turkey. He did so in 2014 by changing the Turkish constitution and eliminating the position of Prime Minister in Turkey. Ezekiel 38:1-3 say’s that the “chief prince” or primary governor of Turkey will lead the Islamic nations into Israel. In Ezekiel chapter 39 the “chief prince” of Turkey will lead the battle of Armageddon. So the Bible tells us that the “chief prince” of Turkey is the Antichrist. Since Turkish President Erdogan has eliminated any future Prime Minister in Turkey, then Erdogan will be the only primary governor of Turkey in the foreseeable future. I think that Turkish President Erdogan is in fact the Antichrist. He has already come to power by way of treachery and without military conquest, or “peaceably”. Erdogan will one day also rise to power over the next world empire. Erdogan is already recognized by most Islamic nations as the rightful Sultan over a revived Turkish ruled Ottoman Empire.
Many Christians have a fuzzy notion that the Antichrist will be viewed as a great peace maker. Not necessarily so. In reality the Antichrist will gain power by devious political means.

😈 Turkey, an Islamic nation trying to broker peace between Orthodox Christian brothers of Russia and Ukraine?
Antichrist Turkey and The UAE countries that have directly participated in the #TigrayGenocide by supporting the fascist Oromo regime of Ethiopia, now are trying to play a more active role in ‘mediating’ between the fascist Oromo regime of Abiy Ahmed Ali and Orthodox Christian Ethiopia which is Tigray. Countries like the UAE, Turkey, China, Russia,Ukraine support the Ethiopian central government with political, diplomatic, financial help and drones in its offensive against Orthodox Christians of Tigray. Mind boggling, isn’t it?!
💭 Similar circumstances, similar actions and actors, similar tragedies between the Russo-Ukraine war and the Ethiopian ‘civil war’.
Ethiopia managed to survive as a single state from the Aksum Kingdom (325 BC) to the reign of the fascist Oromo regime of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali. The country was not divided into two states in the civil war that broke out due to the Tigray problem. On the other hand, there are some similarities between the Ukraine and Ethiopia crises, such as the relations between the warring parties and the fact that they come from the same origin. So, can such closeness be a factor that stops or fuels a war?
Approaches
Ukraine, which gained its independence in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, is now the second largest country in Europe with a population of 44.9 million. The country has extensive agricultural lands as well as fields for many heavy industry sectors in its east. Both Russian and Ukrainian are spoken in the country. There are many social and political partnerships between the peoples of Russia and Ukraine, as well as their histories, structures, common customs and traditions. Despite the fact that the peoples of the two countries have a common history, culture and religion, after the independence of Ukraine, its relations with its western neighbors developed more than its relations with Russia. Ukraine enjoys closer relations with its European neighbors in Poland and other regions to its west.
On the other hand, the Tigray region is located in the north of Ethiopia. An independent territory within the federal system, ratified by the Ethiopian Constitution in 1994. The history of the region has striking marital dimensions. There are abundant mineral deposits, especially gold. The Tigrayans are Ethiopia’s third largest ethnic group (7 to 10 million people) in terms of population, after the Oromos and Amhars, who make up the majority of Ethiopian people. Although the Tigrayans and Oromos retain their own language, Amharic has been the dominant language among the Ethiopian people, with Christianity and Islam, the two major religions with the largest number of members.
On a regional scale and in contrast to the polarization factor and the attractiveness of Ukraine’s neighborhood with Western European countries, Tigray’s location adjacent to Eritrea creates a political dimension that is not far from sensitive for historical rivalry reasons, despite the similarities and commonalities of the two peoples.
Beginning of crises
As for the beginnings, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine started after the Ukrainian people’s revolution overthrew the pro-Russian former President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. After Russia lost its political hegemony with the fall of Yanukovych administration, Russia annexed Crimea using this situation and started to arm the rebel groups in the east of the country.
The danger that Ukraine posed for Russia after its independence and its orientation to Europe further increased the sensitivity of relations. The crisis erupted in its political and regional dimensions following Kiev’s intention to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The crisis in Ethiopia, on the other hand, began after the political transformation during the ruling People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front following the people’s revolution in February 2018, with the resignation of former Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn. On 27 March 2018, current Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed took office, with the decline of Tigrayan nationalism after nearly 30 years of domination and the political crisis in Abiy Ahmed and the neighboring country Eritrea.
💭 Ethiopia Declares State of Emergency as Tigrayan Forces Gain Ground
Bitter experiences
There were news in the media that Russia began to occupy Ukraine from the eastern Donbas region on February 24, 2020) (after the recognition of the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics). These were followed by reports that cities such as Mariupol (please look at map in the video below) and Odessa (on the Black Sea coast), Kherson (in the south of the country), Jitomir and Kharkov (in the northwest) were subjected to heavy bombardment. In the current war, military and civilian infrastructure has been destroyed in many parts of Ukraine. Several cities were occupied while services such as water and electricity were interrupted.
According to the information in the press, while people in various regions of Ukraine faced terrible situations, hundreds of civilians, including children, lost their lives, hundreds of thousands of people immigrated to Poland and other neighboring European countries.
On the other hand, the Ethiopian war, which started on November 4, 2020, (The genocidal war against Orthodox Christians of Tigray begun on Tikimt-ጥቅምት 24 ቀን 2013 ዓ.ም EC ) caused the Tigray region to be occupied by the fascist Oromo regime of Abiy Ahmed Ali and killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced only in beginning of the war tens of thousands to migrate to Sudan. Unlike Ukraine, no Tigrayan is able to leave Tigray due to a complete siege and blockade during the past twelve months.
💭 Ukrainians Blocking Africans From Getting on Trains | ዩክሬናውያን አፍሪካውያንን በባቡር እንዳይሳፈሩ አገዷቸው
A Very curious comparison: White ‘Christian’ Ukrainians block Africans from getting on European trains – while black African Christians of Ethiopia hinder their Tigrayans brothers and sisters from fleeing the besieged Tigray to safety, to Sudan. Wow! Do Africans really have the right to complain about the actions of the Ukrainians, or about the preferential treatment fellow Europeans give to them? Can Africans claim the moral high ground when they are still quite and do nothing while their brothers and sisters in Africa are barbarically abused, murdered and ethnically cleansed by fellow Africans for the past 15 months?! What a disgrace!
One other example: Headquarters of the African Union (AU) is in Addis Ababa, but protocol dictates that when a summit is held there — as it was last month — the host is the AU Commission itself, not Ethiopia. In breach of that principle, the AU invited monster war criminal Abiy Ahmed Ali to welcome Africa’s heads of state. The thematic focus of the summit was launching Africa’s “year of nutrition.” Cruel Abiy Ahmed Ali and every speaker spoke about the importance of food; none mentioned the starvation crimes perpetrated by their host in Tigray, even in passing. The AU’s own principles were tossed aside in a show of smug solidarity.
