1/4 New Report Out Today! The Croatian-Bosnian border has become a site of frequent border deaths, with many drowning in rivers and others going missing in mountainous and forested areas. This is not a coincidence but the result of deliberate weaponization of a hostile borderscape.

6/8 The construction of the wall began in 2021 in the Çaldıran district and moved southwards to the districts of Özalp, Saray, and Başkale. By 2026, it covered 204 km out of the 295 km border with Iran. Over 220 km of roads were built to support access to the wall and patrolling.

1/3 This testimony describes a pushback from Croatia to Bosnia on the 16th of October 2023. Nature is weaponized to directly inflict harm against people on the move, while allowing authorities to evade accountability.
1/8 From the late 2000s to the mid-2010s, the Turkish state built new military outposts, known as kalekol, and new observation towers equipped with surveillance technologies. The satellite images show the emergence of a kalekol in the Çaldıran district between 2010 and 2015.
1/5 Our research suggests that people on the move are pushed towards “mine-suspected” areas during crossings and Pushbacks.
5/8 Since 2018, interventions by the Turkish state have radically changed the landscape. Ditches, 3-metres deep and surrounded by barbed wire, appeared in the late 2010s. More were dug in parallel with the wall. At places, satellite imagery shows up to four rows of ditches.
7/8 The wall, 3m high and 2.8m wide, is made of concrete blocks transported to the border and is topped with barbed wire. Built after other infrastructures, it takes on unusual shapes in some areas where it surrounds pre-existing surveillance pylons and observation towers.

Civilizational erasure well underway not in London, Paris or Berlin but in the United States itself — not through immigration or cultural mixing, but through the corrosion of truth and justice at the highest levels of American power. open.substack.com/pub/joearmst... #Trump #power #history #empires
We know budget repair is needed to reduce the high interest costs Australia is paying on national debt, but Australians are already doing it tough & cutting income support would only hurt those most vulnerable. A 25% gas export tax is a modest proposal for the use of our national resources.
