WORLD EXCLUSIVE – The CIA and MI6’s secret war in Kenya.

Two-part, months-long investigation by Namir Shabibi (@nshabibi)

dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-0…
REVEALED - A covert Kenyan paramilitary team armed and trained by the US and supported by UK intelligence is behind renditions and controversial killings of terror suspects in night-time raids in Kenya, Declassified UK can reveal.

rb.gy/trccxv
Britain’s MI6 plays a key role with the CIA in identifying suspects for a ‘kill or capture’ list and finding and fixing their location. MI6 also collaborates with Kenyan intelligence officers as part of a liaison cell codenamed ARCTIC.

rb.gy/trccxv
The clandestine Kenyan paramilitary counter-terror team paid and assisted by the CIA disguise themselves as aid workers on operations in refugee camps. Such covert tactics “shield perpetrators of abuses from any shred of accountability”. rb.gy/trccxv

🚨Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori will ask for permission to challenge the group's proscription at the High Court today.

Declassified is monitoring the hearing, and we'll be posting live updates here👇 Image
Context: Palestine Action was proscribed on 5 July, marking the first time in history that a civil disobedience group is branded a terrorist organisation.

The proscription came after activists sprayed paint into the engines of two Voyager aircraft at RAF Brize Norton.
Ammori was refused "interim relief" earlier this month, meaning Judge Chamberlain declined to temporarily suspend the proscription order pending future hearings.

She was then refused an appeal on the "interim relief" decision, meaning the order was permitted to come into effect.

What is Labour's new 'warfighting readiness" - as outlined in its 'strategic defence review' - all about❓

A thread.

The basic problem for Whitehall planners is that the current rulers of the world are losing their military advantage. Image
So UK officials, steeped in imperialist global intervention and believing they have a right to shape the world according to their interests, are finding this more difficult. Image
So they have to find ways to get the public to stump up more money to "shape the environment" in favour of the elite's interests. Image

🚨Julian Assange's final extradition hearing has just opened at the High Court in London.

Declassified is monitoring the hearing, and we'll be posting live updates here👇
A brief recap:

The US seeks the extradition of Julian Assange for 18 alleged offences relating to the obtaining and publication of sensitive information.

If extradited, Assange faces up to 175 years in a US supermax prison.
Assange's journey through the UK courts has been long and winding.

In January 2021, District Judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled against extradition on mental health grounds. This decision was overturned in December 2021 when the US provided assurances about prison conditions.

"I do not think I have ever seen the speed at which the situation has deteriorated in the Gaza Strip", the official said.

"There is a smell of death in buildings and from buildings... It is under bombardment every day. You wake up to the sound of drones". Image
"You meet walking zombies in Gaza because people just cannot believe the situation they are living in", the official added.

The level of hunger in Gaza is now "catastrophic". Image

🚨Day X: The final session of Julian Assange's extradition hearing has now opened at the Royal Courts of Justice.

Declassified is monitoring the hearing, and we'll be posting live updates here 👇
The court opens by acknowledging the numerous difficulties that journalists and members of the public had with following the proceedings yesterday, due to technical difficulties in the court.

This has been a common feature of Assange's hearings in the UK.
There is no sign of Assange in court.

Yesterday, Assange was too unwell to attend either in person or online.

In December, it was reported that the WikiLeaks founder broke a rib while coughing. He suffers from a chronic lung condition.

Assange is unwell and cannot attend in person or online.

In December, the WikiLeaks founder was so ill that he broke a rib while coughing.
For the defence, Edward Fitzgerald lays out grounds for appeal:
- extradition should not be granted for political offences
- would breach ECHR articles 7 & 10
- risks unfair & disproportionate penalties
