Update On Roughly Handled Shot Dog Snoops
Feb 4 2024 Share

The Association for Abandoned Animals released a statement and a batch of photos updating the public on Snoops, the dog which was shot around 10 days ago. 

Snoops was the second shot dog to be rescued in a matter of days, with the AAA explaining that the vet did a good job in helping Snoops recuperate. 

This despite ‘the animal welfare officers that dragged him and unlike the management of animal welfare that had the video (well) before us but tried to hush the whole story down’, AAA wrote. 

‘You can still feel and see the wounds caused by the lead pellets where they penetrated his body’, AAA stated. ‘Snoops is still a bit scared and a bit traumatised from all his ordeal, but he is such a lovely dog.’

Activist Protest Gaza Genocide: Form Mass Grave At Għadira Bay

Activist Protest Gaza Genocide: Form Mass Grave At Għadira Bay
Feb 4 2024 Share

Activists from civil society groups Moviment Graffitti and Youth for Palestine urged Malta to join an international court case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza and to implement measures like closing airspace and sea to Israeli warships and planes. 

The activists, at a symbolic protest in Għadira Bay, Mellieħa, accused Israel of conducting a “full-blown genocide” in Gaza, claiming over 33,000 Palestinians killed since October 7, displacement of almost all Gazans, and a blockade hindering essential aid. 

They highlighted Israel’s bombings of schools, churches, refugee camps, and hospitals, attributing it to a long-standing project to expel Palestinians. 

Despite Malta’s solidarity declarations, the activists criticized its failure to call for a permanent ceasefire within international institutions and reluctance to label Israeli actions as genocide. 

They urged the government to support South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and advocate for European sanctions against Israel until it complies with ICJ rulings. 

Labor MEP Alex Agius Saliba expressed support for Malta joining the ICJ case. Activists also called for closing Malta’s airspace and sea to weapons of war and promoting pro-Palestinian stances at the EU and global levels. The ICJ recently mandated Israel to allow urgent humanitarian aid into Gaza, a ruling Israel rejected.

Ian Borg Praised For Using Maltese During Visit To Ukraine

Ian Borg Praised For Using Maltese During Visit To Ukraine
Feb 4 2024 Share

OSCE Chairman-in-Office Ian Borg yesterday met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev. Malta, having assumed the Chairpersonship of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) for the first time, marked a historic moment.

Just last week, in his address as the chairman-in-office, Malta’s Foreign Minister Ian Borg declared that Ukraine would be a top priority for the organisation in the coming year. He emphasised a firm commitment to addressing Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, condemning recent intensified attacks and calling for Russia’s immediate withdrawal from Ukrainian territory within internationally recognised borders.

During discussions with President Zelensky, Borg focused on enhancing support for Ukraine, particularly in efforts to locate and return illegally detained civilians and displaced children. President Zelensky expressed gratitude to Malta for actively supporting the Peace Formula and for securing €50 billion in financial support for the Ukraine Facility.

As Malta assumes the Presidency of the OSCE, an organisation with 57 member states dedicated to promoting security and cooperation among its members, the commitment to addressing the Ukraine conflict remains a key agenda item.
