They aren't comparable to Yemeni Hezbollah, at least in the context of domestic politics. Hezbollah is political party sometimes described as a "state within a state". Ansarallah is the state, regardless of who recognizes them. They control the parts of Yemen where 80% of the population lives.

Most bizzaro timeline is Syria and Israel vs Shia and Christian militias while the Lebanese Armed Forces scratch their asses and Lebanese Sunnis frankly do I don't know what. It would be a real test for the idea of Lebanese nationalism.

To be fair through, i24 isn't exactly the most reliable Israeli news source. I wouldn't post the story here right now without a better source, but it seems like talks are ongoing between Syria, Israeli, and the US.

I saw someone post coverage from i24 (Israel news channel, not the most reliable) that I believe was saying Syria was discussing giving Israel 1/3rd of Golan and leasing another 1/3rd for 25 years in return for Israel helping Syria take Tripoli and other parts or Northern Lebanon.

The DRC-Rwanda deal will also help the US government and American companies gain access to critical minerals like tantalum, gold, cobalt, copper and lithium needed for much of the world’s technology at a time when the US and China are actively competing for influence in Africa.

Ahead of the signing on Friday, US President Donald Trump said, “We’re getting, for the United States, a lot of the mineral rights from the Congo as part of it. They’re so honoured to be here. They never thought they’d be coming.”

Now US tech companies can buy the rare earth minerals they were already buying illegally from Rwanda without the extra legal risk.

My bad I didn't mean to respond to you.

 

Let us all reflect and embrace the posting that got us here on this special day.

EDIT: Apparently the prior portrait was not of Nat Turner, despite what Google and some other websites said.
