Horrific.

Her name is Melek. A young Kurdish girl from Afrin Syria. She refused to marry one of Erdogan-backed Jihadists so they kidnapped her weeks ago, raped her and killed her. Her body was found in Aleppo’s countryside.

SHE WAS 16.

The same thing will happen to the Minneapolis PD when it's "abolished," just like every cop "punished" by being fired just gets hired by another force. It's why this solution must accompany a radical restructuring of all of society w/o a need for police. https://t.co/LrpNyIWO0t

I know.
Hopefully as-Sisi is growing some balls or gets replaced by someone, who has. He should not rely on France or UK, they have abandoned Egypt all the time against Turkey. Egypt should reactivate the good old alliance with Russia, they had under the Mamluks and under Nasser.
