CHINESE ENVOY TO THE UNITED NATIONS ACCUSES UNITED STATED OF ESCALATING TENSIONS IN RED SEA

The Chinese envoy to the United Nations accused the United States of escalating tensions in the Red Sea Saturday, adding that U.S. strikes do nothing to contribute to freedom of navigation through the Bab el-Mandeb straight where Yemeni forces have interfered with trade to and from Israel in solidarity with Palestinians under siege in Gaza.

The United States and the United Kingdom launched a series of drone and missile strikes Thursday night targeting installations belonging to the Armed Forces of Yemen, attempting to degrade their ability to respond to ships heading to or from ports in the occupied territories.

China's permanent representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, expressed grave concern over the U.S. strikes, saying in a statement "It is regrettable to see that the blatant military actions taken by the relevant countries against Yemen have not only caused infrastructure destruction and civilian casualties, but have also resulted in heightened security risks in the Red Sea."

"This does not contribute to the protection of the safety and security of the commercial vessels and freedom of navigation," Zhang said, adding that "The relevant military operations could also undermine the political process in Yemen."

The Chinese envoy referred to the United Nations Security Council, pointing out that the body never authorized any state to use military force against Yemen, and added that the military actions taken by the U.S.-led coation are in direct contravention of recently adopted Security Council resolution 2722.

"The current tense situation in the Red Sea is one of the manifestations of the spillover effects of the conflict in Gaza," Zhang, the Chinese envoy to the UN said.

"Allowing the conflict in Gaza to drag on while expecting it will not spread is wishful thinking and an illusion. What's more, calling for the prevention of the spillover of the conflict on the one hand, while adding fuel to the fire on the other hand by provoking military confrontation is self-contradictory and irresponsible," Zhang added.

"The Middle East region is already on the brink of extreme danger. The last thing we need at this stage is reckless military adventurism. The first thing we need is calm and restraint to prevent a further expansion of the conflict."

oooookay, I'm not super versed in dsmp lore and I don't even really know the whole events in chronological order. but!!!! I love your monarchy restoration au. your art is so gorgeous. and the emotions there ... man

can you please give me some guideline of what should I know from the og lore to understand your au? or maybe some summary of your au?

just talk about it I really want to interact!!! :D

hi, editing Li here, the summary ended up being over 2k words. then I realised you asked for a summary to the AU, which is part of the masterpost. I went over the lore in brief, I promise it's just brief despite the length and doesn't tackle All there is to the SMP

okay, lemme try and speedrun the lore of the dream smp - given that the story of monarchy restoration centers around the Dream Team, or at least the parts that I shared, I'll be focusing on them. this will get long and I'm really sorry jghdfjd

the core ideas you should know is that: Dream, George and Sapnap were close friends, but they drifted apart as time went on due to conflicts on the server. Dream crowned George as King, but then due to George doing badly as a king and this position putting him in danger made him dethrone George, which made the rift between them grow. they were once inseparable, and now George and Sapnap thought of Dream as obsessed maniac who no longer cared for them as people. after Dream got put in prison and tortured, he broke out, and this is where the lore of Monarchy Restoration diverges from the original story of the SMP and becomes an AU, as instead of reuniting with Punz as intended, Dream is too weak and injured to do much and runs into George, who takes him in.

now for the Actual Lore Recap:

at the very beginning of it all, there were two friends - Dream and George. they found a little piece of the world for themselves, and everything was fine. then a third came, Sapnap, and then more people joined, and they lived in the same house in the middle of the lake and things were okay.

months passed, and fights turned into splits in the community and a community turned to factions, and the conflicts of factions were intertwined with interpersonal fights. (the interpersonal conflicts? the disc saga, aptly named over 2 music discs that were used as a bartering chip and have a pretty good significance in the overall story. put a pin into that.)

the two factions at play were the (retroactively named) Greater SMP and L'Manburg which declared independence from the Greater SMP on basis of xenophobia. they lost the war against the Greater SMP, the final fight being a duel between Dream and the original owner of the discs (Tommy). a deal was struck after, where Tommy offered his discs in exchange for independence (or independance, if you want to stick to the original text)

an important aspect of this war is to note that Dream offered one of the people on L'Manburg's side a deal - they betray the faction and get to become the King of the Greater SMP. this establishes monarchy in the story. they accepted, betrayed their allies, got the role of a King with the promise of 'staying neutral and uninvolved in further conflicts'.

I'll breeze through the Manberg era for the most part (despite being the most interesting one, imo). L'Manburg ran a presidental election, the original leader (who wanted to take power by scamming the whole thing) lost, and the new leader of L'Manburg (renamed to Manberg, because they're not taking any L's anymore) exiled the OG president and his right hand man Tommy, things went bad. the two exiled men started a new faction (Pogtopia) that they hoped to use to take back their "rightful place" and were given support from Dream because the new Manberg was a little too expansive. (he ended up siding with Manberg last minute for Yet Unknown Reasons, we will get to them, again, put a pin in it)

the King of the SMP very vocally sided wih Pogtopia, which was a betrayal to the core principles of their position as King. the King was dethroned, and Dream put his best friend George on the throne, with him and Sapnap serving as his knights.

upon the defeat of Manberg by Pogtopia (since Manberg's authoritarian regime ended up driving people out and most joined Pogtopia, Dream and his people fought for Manberg only as mercenaries), one of the core allies of Pogtopia - an anarchist, the blood god himself, Technoblade - turned on his former allies because they told him it was about defeating a tyrant, but all they wanted was to kill one tyrant and put their own people in his place. Techno then fled into exile.

next chapter begins after the rebuild of L'Manberg, yet the L' is back, under a new rule given that the OG president uhhh Blew Up The Country with several megatons of TNT and then persuaded his father into killing him.

King George is vibing. he is unaware of all faction wars, builds himself a holiday house far away from everything, enjoys time with new friends, all while Dream grows more and more distant due to trying to keep what is left of his old life together.

the reason the home is important to mention is that, once peace has settled over the world, Tommy decided that the discs that he traded for independence are His, in fact, and he needs to steal them - or barter for them in any shitty way possible. he still had tons of grudges against Dream, and in one of these half-grudge fueled fuckeries, he and one other character set fire to George's holiday home.

Dream found it in ruin and still burning when he came see his friend with a bouquet of flowers. there are several interpretations to this, and since Dream himself never really specified, there's a speculation that he thought that this event maybe killed his best friend, and given that George is the King of the Greater SMP, an attack by the right hand man of the current L'Manberg president on the physical property of the King of a rival faction is de-facto a war declaration.

so we are presented with an ultimatum, where Tommy is either exiled or a war starts. (exile won. it was voted on by the fans we wanted that bitch Out. this is not quite as important but the dynamics shaping up between Tommy and Dream had a massive impact on the plot.)

while Tommy is in exile, George becomes rather friendly with a new budding faction on the server. his involvement with them means that his neutrality vow was broken, and given how frequently he got harassed by L'Manberg, Dream decided to dethrone George, and put the previous King back in power. this dethronement caused a huge rift to form between George and Dream (and Sapnap, who sided with George) and the three of them fell apart with the parting words from George to Dream being "Just say you hate me."

I'm sure this won't have any lasting effects on the man who was tearing himself apart to make the world the same as it was when it was just the two of them

now in brief: the L'Manberg cabinet decided to take revenge on Techno after he turned on them after they tricked him into helping them against Manberg. the punishment? execution. how did they achieve that? they hunted him down, threatened to kill his animals, told him he will get a court process but just set him up in a guillotine. Dream intervened and saved him, thus earning a favour from Techno because both of them are traumatized warriors with trust issues that rather treat kindness as currency. Tommy runs away from the place he was restricted to in his exile, moves in with the anarchist-in-retirement-gone-pacifist Techno, the two of them end up teaming up for the time being as Techno protects him from Dream. L'Manberg in the meantime decides to host a festival to show that they are peaceful now, and nothing bad will happen again :) it takes place a week after they unlawfully tried to execute Techno, and the festival is meant to serve as public execution of Dream. However, the festival is cut short when Dream storms in because the original house where he and his friends lived - known as the Community House - got blown up. he blames L'Manberg and Tommy, and after a short conflict that happens then he declares that L'Manberg has a day to evacuate and him and Techno agree to blow up the country. a second time. and completely now.

so L'Manberg is gone now and the members of the faction scatter. within days, Tommy receives an invitation from Dream to come get his discs (I didn't know how to include it, but after the whole 'setting George's house on fire' Tommy tried to barter for the discs and for Dream to ignore him setting the house on fire, all while trying to leverage things that Dream held dear. attachment to objects and people is a running theme in here. Dream then proceeded to give his "I don't give a fuck about Spirit, I don't give a fuck about anything actually" speech, basically telling everyone they have nothing to leverage against him and he will destroy them if he needs to and them holding something hostage won't bother him.) This sets the stage for the Disc Finale. Tommy and his best friend Tubbo make their way to a specific location, far away, all alone, where they are to fight against Dream to win the discs back. they lose spectacularly and Dream reveals his "grand plan" where he has a vault to gather "all the precious items people own to control them" (and I wrote "grand plan" because it was a farce. it was a show, it was staged, all just to get Tommy to leave him the fuck alone and stop meddling with his greater plan. what is the greater plan? fuck if I knew.)

the whole thing is then intercepted when a large group of people, one of which is Dream's right-hand-man Punz who was running errands for him before, and more importantly, Sapnap. he's beaten and just as he is about to be killed, he reveals his secret: the reason he sided with manberg, all those months ago, is because in exchange for his services he got a book of necromancy. he can now bring people back to life. because of this, he is locked up in an inescapable prison in case anyone needs to use the book.

Sapnap and George are very much under the impression that Dream doesn't care for them. Sapnap comes visit Dream once, promises to return, never does. George doesn't even bother coming in, instead sleeping his days away and it catches the eye of a deity who wears the same face as his beloved Dream, and he loses himself to the illusion of being reunited with his best friend in a world where everything is perfect.

another important thing to note is that Sapnap stumbles upon a Book Of Death (yes, its death note, sapnap is a weeb, it even functions the exact same.) the thing about the book of death and the book of necromancy is that they are both books that were placed into the world by the deity wearing Dream's face (known as DreamXD, or XD for short, yes it's a little silly) and XD reveals to another character (a somewhat-deity, Foolish) that the books and their owners are intertwined in a way, and if one were to die the other dies with him.

so we have three friends, one locked up in prison and seen as nothing more but an object to use (Dream), the other a man who watched his friends, his parents and his lovers fall apart (Sapnap) and a man who cannot face the world falling apart and the loss of his friends so he gives into an illusion created by god in his dreams. and all of them have a strange tie to a stranger god.

this very fractured relationship the three have, along with their ties to the god, were the main driving force behind making this AU.

the last thing you should probably know is that Dream was locked in prison for 10 months, starved, tortured, with little to no social contact until Techno was locked in with him, but with the use of some fun magic Techno managed to escape and then "return the favour" from when Dream saved him from execution, and broke him out of prison.

there's a lot of little nuanced things I probably forgot about but this is the core of it all I hope it helps

#   expediente   personal  de   koen navarro   :   declaración   policial   ,   02:14   ,   portland   police   station   .       ( @lacupulaint )

tensión se asienta en su cuerpo, la espera sólo ha logrado que nerviosismo se multiplique con cada minuto. manos persiguen el calor de la taza de café que sostiene, y koen se dedica a observar el líquido mientras considera sus opciones. nunca se ha sentido cómodo cuando se trata de la institución de la policía, no desde que entendió las injusticias que le sucedían a las personas de su barrio, cómo sus propios vecinos sufrían a manos de las personas que habían jurado protegerlos. sabe que está a miles de kilómetros lejos de casa y aún así no puede evitar recordar las palabras de su madre. mantén la calma, sé amable, demuestra que tienes educación. está demasiado consciente de su falta de privilegio en ese momento, cómo la mayoría sólo necesita una llamada para materializar un abogado o un padre influyente, mientras que toda su familia está en otro continente, y de todas formas no tendrían los recursos para ayudarlo. para peor, no puede quitarse la imagen del cuerpo inerte de su cabeza, el sonido de los gritos de sus compañeros al entender qué estaba pasando. pensamientos se interrumpen cuando dos policías hacen ingreso a la sala, y koen hace su mejor esfuerzo por mantener un semblante que demuestre serenidad. intercambia un saludo, que por suerte es recíproco, y poco a poco músculos se van relajando. 

¿qué estabas haciendo en el momento del accidente?

“ había recibido una llamada de mi hermana menor. ella vive en australia y... ” comienza relato, asegurándose de observar a los hombres a la cara al momento de hablar. teme cometer siquiera un simple error en ese momento. “ pensé que podría ser importante, entonces me alejé del grupo. ” la llamada había llegado a un fin precoz, porque pronto habían empezado a sonar los gritos. 

¿te encontrabas cerca o lejos de la escena del crimen una vez que comenzaron los gritos?

“ no lo sé, es difícil ubicarse ahí dentro. ” y prefiere ser honesto antes que sonar dubitativo, tan sólo recuerda sentir cierta desesperación al escuchar los gritos, intentando decidir si se trataba de una broma pesada o de verdad había alguien en peligro. para el momento en el que se encontró con la escena del crimen, las personas ya habían comenzado a arremolinarse alrededor del cuerpo, y los gritos se habían vuelto aún más desgarradores. 

¿cuál era tu relación con jack?

“ no teníamos ninguna. ” admite, hombros subiendo y bajando. “ él estaba en crimson y yo en carnelian. no debemos haber intercambiado palabras más de dos veces. ” y lo siguiente no pensaba admitirlo, pero impresión de jack siempre fue negativa. si bien koen intentaba no juzgar demasiado al resto, rumores eran demasiado oscuros como para ignorarlos, en especial cuando pensaba en propias hermanas menores y cómo se sentiría si fueran ellas las que estaban en esa posición. 

¿cuál fue tu última interacción con jack?

se siente extraño recordarlo, saber que pocas horas habían pasado desde la última vez que vio al crimson con vida, y que ahora su cuerpo yacía en alguna morgue, a la espera de que lo reconocieran sus familiares. “ lo vi antes de entrar al laberinto. estaba conversando con su grupo, probablemente discutiendo estrategias. ” no puede agregar mucho más, porque atención había estado puesta en propio equipo. 

piensa que lo peor todavía está por venir, que una pregunta inculpándolo saldrá de la boca de los dos policías que lo observan desde el otro lado de la mesa, pero no tienen nada más que agregar que una simple despedida. koen se pone de pie de alguna forma, y no es hasta que cruza el umbral de la puerta que nerviosismo desaparece por completo de su cuerpo, consciente de que finalmente estaba a salvo.

Cada 15 de marzo se celebra el Día Internacional Contra la Brutalidad Policial, para visibilizar los abusos cometidos por organismos policiales y otras fuerzas de seguridad, que atentan contra los derechos humanos fundamentales.

Tiene como finalidad ofrecer solidaridad a las víctimas de la represión policial y sus familiares.

Casos recientes de violencia policial en varias partes del mundo han reabierto el debate acerca del actual modelo policial, siendo esencial el respeto a los derechos humanos.

Origen del Día Internacional Contra la Brutalidad Policial

Esta fecha se creó en el año 1997, por iniciativa del Colectivo Opuesto a la Brutalidad Policial con sede en Montreal y el Grupo Black Flag, ubicado en Suiza.

La elección de esta fecha se atribuye a una agresión policial ocurrida en Suiza, contra dos niños de 11 y 12 años de edad.

Organismos policiales ¿control del orden público o represión?

Los organismos policiales fueron creados para el mantenimiento del orden público y el cumplimiento de las leyes, entre otras funciones. Sin embargo, el uso ilegítimo de la fuerza policial ha generado hechos deplorables, como lesiones físicas y la muerte de personas. Estas acciones son impulsadas por motivos de racismo, género, estatus social, entre otras causas.

Para frenar este flagelo es preciso que los ciudadanos conozcan sus derechos, así como cuál es el ámbito de la actuación policial, acorde a lo establecido en las leyes pertinentes.

¿Que se considera brutalidad policial?

La brutalidad policial es un término que se refiere básicamente a la violación de los derechos humanos por parte de organismos policiales, mediante la utilización de los siguientes métodos:

Insultos racistas y de otra índole.

Uso de la fuerza física.

Tortura.

Uso de la represión policial en eventos, tales como manifestaciones.

Homicidio premeditado, entre otros métodos.

Los organismos policiales utilizan armas, gas lacrimógeno, balas de goma y otros implementos para el control del orden público en protestas y manifestaciones. En la mayoría de los casos recurren a la fuerza policial, incurriendo en excesos con trágicos desenlaces.

Al respecto, la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) estableció en 1990 el documento "Directrices para la Aplicación de los Principios Básicos sobre el Empleo de la Fuerza y de Armas de Fuego por los Funcionarios Encargados de Hacer Cumplir la Ley". Ello con la finalidad de asistir a los Estados Miembros, en el papel que deben desempeñar los funcionarios policiales en el cumplimiento de sus funciones respetando los derechos humanos.

Posteriormente, Amnistía Internacional reeditó en el año 2015 el referido documento.

¿Cómo se celebra este Día Internacional?

En la celebración del Día Internacional Contra la Brutalidad Policial anualmente se lleva a cabo una marcha en Montreal (Canadá), entre otras actividades y eventos.
