U.S. Counterterrorism Efforts Destabilizing African Nations

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:10:38 GMT

Vice President Kamala Harris wrapped a historic tour of Africa last week, where she positioned the U.S. as a reliable and trustworthy security and economic partner. This week on Intercepted, host Murtaza Hussain is joined by investigative reporter, Nick Turse, to discuss his latest reporting on U.S. counterterrorism efforts in Africa. Since the war on terror was launched, the U.S. government’s ventures in Africa have been more focused on military aid than economic support. Harris’s trip comes after a decade of China investing in infrastructure and critical resource mining throughout the continent and the administration’s concerns over the growing influence of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group. But America’s 20-plus years of counterterrorism support in the region hasn’t resulted in better security. In that time, terrorist groups have risen and U.S.-trained African officers have attempted at least nine coups, eight of which were successful. Hussain and Turse discuss the impact of U.S...

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:10:38 GMT

(CNN) — Esto es lo que significa servir y proteger a las personas en un país inundado de armas.Las desgarradoras, pero aleccionadoras imágenes de la cámara corporal de dos agentes de Louisville, Kentucky, que intervinieron en el tiroteo de este lunes, muestran las demandas que se imponen a los policías que responden a los tiroteos masivos que proliferan en Estados Unidos y el terrible precio que pueden pagar.El video de lo que es efectivamente una batalla callejera más parecida a una zona de guerra en el extranjero que a una ciudad de EE.UU. con el sol de la mañana, ofrece un antídoto visceral contra el encogimiento de hombros colectivo que a menudo ocurre después a las masacres en el país.Esta es una escena cruda y aterradora, mezclada con coraje y heroísmo. Ofrece una revisión de la realidad sobre lo que se desarrolla en momentos de terror y deja, vacíos en comparación, los rituales políticos regulares posteriores a la masacre de “pensamientos y oraciones” y llam...

Bottoms up! Some MLB teams extend beer sales to 8th inning

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:10:38 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Thanks to the pitch clock, the action is moving much faster at Major League Baseball games. It also means a little less time for fans to enjoy a frosty adult beverage.To combat that time crunch, at least four teams — the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers — have extended alcohol sales through the eighth inning this season. Others, like the Miami Marlins and New York Mets, still have seventh-inning cutoffs, but haven’t ruled out changes.“Totally makes sense to me,” said Tom Lienhardt, who was sipping on a beer Tuesday night before the Brewers-Diamondbacks game at Chase Field. “Since the games are shorter, you’ve got to adjust.”Teams have historically stopped selling alcohol after the seventh.At least one team, the Baltimore Orioles, already sold alcohol through the eighth inning, or until 3 1/2 hours after first pitch, whichever came first. MLB games have been considerably shorter this season, largely thanks to a series of ...
