1/12 THREAD: The 911 call came into the U.S. Border Patrol’s station in Tucson, Arizona, around midnight. Joselino Gomez Esteban’s voice crackled through from somewhere in the Sonoran Desert. He said he was lost. He needed help. His nephew had collapsed and wouldn’t respond.
2/12 The Sonoran is the final stretch of a 2,000 mile migration from Guatemala. Each year, hundreds die trying to cross to the U.S. from Mexico. The Border Patrol tallied 294 deaths in fiscal year 2017, but experts believe the figure is far higher. Some who die are never found.
3/12 Finding Gomez, 43, and his nephew, Misael Paiz, 25 proved difficult. The older cell phone Gomez used didn’t provide GPS coordinates.

On the eviction plans of City Railway Colony and other informal/formal residential localities linked to restoration of #Karachi Circular Railway. #Thread
Similar drive was there when #Lyari Express Way was planned, people were displaced/relocated. Localities on both sides of the Express way were evacuated. People were given alternatives at far and distant locations in District West etc. But after the Express Way was built...
The evacuated lands on both sides of the Express way were acquired by builders and now you can see multi-storey buildings and prices of flats/apartments are many times higher than the alternatives provided to the people evicted. #Karachi

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

I like to wake up on my nephews playing and jumping over me while lying on my bed rather than anything else. Literally, anything else. ' Anything else 'is terrifying.' Anything else is 'frightening.'

#Chinese. #Drones. #Rhinos
The narrative is that "Africans poach" We do not. The truth is that Chinese in #Laikipia are a threat for locals, for Rhinos & Elephants. #Kenyans need to be on high Alert.
Thanks Micheal

#POACHING
Unfortunately, Chinese are invading #Meru as well - another Rhino Sanctuary through #thebigwhitelie of 'investing in' a 5 star hotel. Can we stop this via civil suit before Gov.Kiraitu Murungi @SenKiraitu sells our Heritage?
@MuthoniMicheni @alaminkimathi @muhimu07
MERU, KENYA: "Mayor Liu Xiaohua of Huangshan Municipal from #China has led a delegation of Chinese investors who want to build tourist resorts in Mt Kenya - To @SenKiraitu - this is a DANGEROUS move.

Let's talk about Operation Fast and Furious and why a special counsel is needed. Operation Fast and Furious was an Obama gun walking scandal in 2009. Certain gun shops were used to illegally sell guns to the cartel in order to track and take down Mexican human traffickers.
Before we move forward just think about that for a second. How do you track down the firearms? Only way is to track them down by their serial numbers. Two did show up at the scene of a gunned down Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
On December 14th, 2010, Agent Terry was on patrol with BORTAC, Border Patrol Tactical Unit when they encountered 5 individuals from the "rip off" crew and at least 2 had rifles.
