The school was operating with Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers positioned on its roof, with a diminished number of students and teachers and with the sound of fighting nearby. At the time, Taliban-controlled villages were only a couple of hundred meters away. After years of relative calm in the Nad-i Ali, the Afghan Local Police, with the support of the ANA, were maintaining the tenuous frontline against the ever-encroaching Taliban who had pushed closer than ever to the nearby provincial capital, Lashkar Gah. Now, Nad-i Ali was overrun by the Taliban three months after this photo was taken and has remained under their control since.: photo by Andrew Quilty, 29 March 2016

Thousands attend funeral of martyred student: Journalists working in difficult situation in IOK:Kashmir Media Service, 3 May 2018
Srinagar, May 03 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, thousands of people attended the funeral prayers of a student, Umar Kumhar, in Shopian district, today.
Umar Kumhar, a ninth class student, was killed and more than thirty people were injured when the Indian troops fired bullets, pellets and teargas shells on protesters during a cordon and search operation in Turkawangam area of the district, yesterday. The troops also damaged two houses and at least four cowsheds in the area. Thousands of people poured onto the streets as the body of the martyred student was taken for burial. They raised high-pitched pro-freedom and anti-India slogans. Multiple funerals were held for Umar to accommodate the huge rush of people. Eyewitnesses said that the martyr was laid to rest with his school uniform shirt over his body.
Complete shutdown was observed in Pulwama, Shopian, Islamabad and Kulgam districts, today, to mourn the killing of Umar Kumhar and other youth martyred by the troops. The Indian troops fired teargas shells in Khudwani area of Kulgam after youth pelted stones on the vehicles of the forces’ personnel. Clashes erupted between protesters and the Indian forces in Malangpora area of Pulwama district. Indian police arrested noted religious scholar, Qazi Ahmed Yasir, in Islamabad town to prevent him from visiting Turkawangam area to express solidarity with the family of the martyred student.
A report released by Kashmir Media Service on the occasion of the World Press Freedom Day, today, maintained that occupied Kashmir is one of the most dangerous places of the world where people associated with the press and media are performing their professional duties in the most difficult circumstances and situation. The report pointed out that ten journalists have been confirmed as being killed while performing their duties during the Kashmiris’ ongoing liberation struggle since 1989. They included Shabbir Ahmed Dar, Mushtaq Ali, Ghulam Muhammad Lone, Ghulam Rasool Azad, Muhammad Shaban Wakeel, Pervez Muhammad Sultan, Mushtaq Ahmed and a woman scribe, Aasiya Jeelani.
The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani, has said that many Kashmiri political prisoners were still languishing in jails given the fact that they had completed their incarceration period. He was talking to noted Indian civil society member and Chairman of Centre for Peace and Progress, O P Shaw, who called on him at his Hyderpora residence in Srinagar. The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference, Shabbir Ahmed Dar, and human rights activist, Muhammad Ahsan Untoo, in their meeting with O P Shaw said that the Kashmiris were offering huge sacrifices for a noble cause and no amount of Indian state terrorism could intimidate them to submission.
Delegations of different pro-freedom organizations including Salvation Movement, Voice of Victims, Kashmiri Affected Families and Pellet Victims Association met Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Chairman, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, and discussed the prevailing situation in occupied Kashmir. The leaders of Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party including Muhammad Abdullah Tari addressing a press conference in Srinagar expressed serious concern over the deteriorating health of the illegally detained party Chairman, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, in New Delhi’s Tihar Jail.
Hurriyat leaders including Muhammad Yasin Malik, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash and Javaid Ahmed Mir visited SMHS Hospital in Srinagar and enquired about the health of the youth injured in the firing of pellets and bullets by the Indian troops in different areas. KMS

'He Was Calm and Courageous.' Remembering Photographer Shah Marai: Massoud Hossaini, Time, 3 May 2018
When nine journalists were among the at least 25 people killed in a double suicide bombing in Kabul on April 30, I saw the blast through my camera. It was only because of luck that I survived, and then another photographer was shouting at me. “Marai is dead,” he said. “Marai is dead.”
My friend Shah Marai, Agence France-Presse’s chief photographer in Afghanistan, had a passion for his work that is rare to find in a war zone. He was calm and courageous, just trying to take his pictures. At 41, he was a mentor for younger photojournalists in Kabul, having joined AFP as a driver in 1996, five years before the Taliban was ousted, and later building a career with the agency to support his family.
After the attack, which the United Nations said was part of a “deliberate targeting of journalists,” I went to my office and sent my pictures. Marai was dead and I had to do my job, to say what had happened. In the afternoon, we went to his village, north of the city. Then we buried him. He had promised to bring all the local photographers there, to eat and be together in a good place, but it never happened until his funeral. During the prayers, I was looking at the sky and waiting for rain. If the rain came, it would mean Marai was crying, that even the clouds were crying.
Hossaini is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, now with the Associated Press
AFP chief photographer in Kabul, Shah Marai spent many years covering the Daily life, funerals, killing and destruction of his country, his images was published in the international newspapers.

For the zealot, Zionist West, International Law is dead. Democracy is dead. Personal privacy is dead. Free speech is dead. Free thought is dead. Morality itself is dead.
Therefore, there will be war.
Presently, with Syria and the Axis of Resistance so close to a complete victory over the terrorist invading army that’s supported by the Axis of Evil, Israel’s only chance at remaining a regional dominant entity is to gather its Goyim Western friends on the front lines of war-torn Syria. Israel desperately needs the Goyim slave nations of the West to fight there on its behalf because, like I have been saying for a good decade now, Israel is in an existential, geopolitical crisis that it thinks can be resolved through yet another war of aggression against its regional neighbors. It’s a gamble-war that the Israelis have no choice but to ignite, all due to their enemies gaining continuing strength and improved armory.
In the recent weeks, we’ve been hearing of much Western-Israeli-Saudi preparations, both militarily and diplomatically, for this coming war. But we don’t hear of the preparations of the Axis of Resistance and this is because the Axis of Resistance is already very ready for the big event. They sit in calm silent wait for the first bullet to be fired by the Axis of Evil. They do this because their religion requires that they be defenders and not assailants; and moreover, they do not want to be remembered by history as the aggressors in a war that they see as a physical and spiritual war of liberation from Imperialism, Colonialism and Zionism: a triple-headed evil that’s been violently imposed on them and their homelands for centuries now – since even before the dubious creation of the state of Israel.
Dear reader, recent events as well as something in my waters tells me that we are now on the threshold of this war that will end up physically devastating not just the region, but the very nations of the Axis of Evil as well – not to mention our global economy too: soon as the Straights [sic] of Hormuz gets closed by an assaulted Iran. The Axis of Evil is mistaken if they think they can contain a war in Syria when they start attacking Iranians there – and I’m not talking randomly shooting missiles at Iranian military stations or compounds like we’ve been seeing of late: I am talking about an all out war against Iranians in Syria, which is what the Axis of Evil is planning to do.
For lack of time, I wished today to write this article not as thoughtful analysis, but as a bell to announce that the Axis of Evil has more or less now lined up all their war ducks that will be quacking thunderously within the next couple of months – maybe even in less than a handful of weeks.
When this coming war occurs, expect Israel to lay in a bed of smokey ruin, regardless of the hits it delivers the Axis of Resistance. In fact, the destruction of Israel is the first thing that will happen in this war and this will indeed change the world as we know it: change especially the Middle East as well as the Jew-dominated Western world.
I am a hater of war but I am not a pacifist. I understand that gathered forces of evil must be confronted head-on and destroyed by any means necessary. This is why I personally support the Axis of Resistance in this war. As far as I’m concerned, a world without the terrorist state of Israel will be a better world, once the rebuilding and post-war healing begins.
Brace yourselves tight. The righteous patriots of the Middle East are about to begin their mission to liberate their land and take control of their own destiny.
A world without American Imperialism, European Colonialism and Jewish Zionism will enable the rest of humanity to live longer and in relative peace.

Really kind of funny when you think of it, but you might not want to and it's not all that hard to see why

Stephen Ratcliffe: from TEMPORALITY, Friday, May 4, 2018
5.4
pink red lines of clouds above black plane of ridge
sound of bird chirping on branch in left foreground
fifteen and twelve before a dozen, to have at least
seen when we look things, image falls away, “image”
twelve lines comma breaking the rhythm of each line
separate from connected to the line before after it
grey line of cloud above shadowed shoulder of ridge
five white egrets gliding to the right toward point
Stephen Ratcliffe: 5.4, from TEMPORALITY, 4 May 2018
... and for dessert ...

1610240465 | Finien Hotel, Butte, Montana 2016. This isn't a 'real' real photo. It's a light homage to both Robert Frank and Jason Eskenazi. The Finlen hotel is where Robert Frank took his "View from hotel window -- Butte, Montana" shot in 1956, which is plate #26 in his "The Americans" book. As to Jason Eskenazi, well the magazine I'm reading, DogFood, is his, and that's Robert Frank featured on the back cover in an astronaut suit. Also, for those who didn't know, Jason edited a book called "By the glow of the Jukebox: The Americans list" where he asked 276 photographers, including Frank himself, about their favorite photo from Frank's the Americans book. And this tiny little book has a wealth of information, not just about the analysis of Frank's seminal book, but also about what draws photographers to certain photos and why.: photo by cedrus' , 21October 2016
