The Medici family, a tale of Medieval social mobility:
-13th century: Family from a rural physician background ('Medici' = 'Medicine').
-Family turns to trade and does quite well for itself.
-Does so well that Giovanni de' Medici (1360–1429) founds a bank in Florence.
-His son, Cosimo, uses the family wealth to become the de-facto ruler of the Florentine Republic.
-Cosimo's political machine makes sure Florence continues to be ruled by his son and grandson.
-His grandson, Lorenzo the Magnificent (1449–1492), gets his own son appointed Cardinal; he will rise to be the next Pope, Leo X (the Pope who excommunicated Luther).
-After Leo X's death (and some other guy), Lorenzo's nephew becomes the next Pope, Clement VII (the Pope who vetoed Henry VIII's divorce, causing the foundation of the Church of England).
-Pope Clement VII uses his wealth and influence to arrange a marriage between Catherine de' Medici (Lorenzo's great-granddaughter) and the son of King Francis I of France.
-Francis dies, Catherine de' Medici becomes Queen of France (from 1547 to 1559), and mother of French kings Francis II, Charles IX, and Henry III.
- The Medici lines continue to rule France, the most powerfull European Monarchy.

Usman has reportedly been detained, along with the cowards who were with him.
And these are the same people who dare to preach about humility and respect? What a disgrace. A bunch of absolute cowards.
I always thought you were a bunch of mediocre individuals. Now you’ve removed every last doubt.
Honor, respect, and humility aren’t words you preach. They’re values you live by. And you’ve shown none of them.

The myth that Qatar is a relatively new country without any ancient history is a myth sold to us by British colonisers. Qatar’s history extends back to pre islamic (and even pre biblical times), especially beth qatraye which was a multilingual assyrian hub for trade nd literature

Is this supposed to be some brag? This is a KRG curriculum. A minority that constantly complains about occupation, genocide, displacement etc doing the same thing to another minority doesn’t look so great.
Simko’s campaigns killed more Kurds than Assyrians.

قضية أراضي تلكيف: الجذور التاريخية، التغيير الديمغرافي، وتباين المواقف
على صعيد الحديث عن أراضي تلكيف، خرج علينا قبل فترة البطريرك لويس ساكو (ساسوكي)على إحدى القنوات العراقية ليتهم حركة "بابليون" والميليشيات بمنع عودة أهالي تلكيف إلى مناطقهم. وهنا يبرز التساؤل:

日本は経済難民も偽造難民も認めていない。難民に該当するかは厳格な審査を行なっています。また、トルコ議会は殺人などの重犯罪に関わらなかったクルドPKKへの恩赦をする法律を成立させており、逮捕されるとされれば、殺人など重罪犯です。日本とトルコ政府に対する侮辱をやめるべきです。貴方は日本政府に重罪犯やテロリストを助けて受け入れろというのですか？どうしても助けたいなら、貴方の国で受け入れる努力をすればよい。
Around 80 Kurdish people living in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan, held a press conference expressing their fear of being sent back to Turkey under the revised immigration law.
Among them are several people whose refugee applications have been rejected multiple times, yet they still want to remain in Japan.
The Japanese government has launched the “Zero Illegal Stay Plan” to deport foreign nationals residing in the country illegally and crack down on illegal stays.
As a result, the illegal Kurdish residents living in Kawaguchi are now afraid of being sent back to Turkey.
During the press conference, Kurdish residents said that if they were deported to Turkey, they could face serious difficulties there.
During the event, a child said, “If we are sent to Turkey, our parents will be arrested right at the airport. We want to stay in Japan. Please help us.”
How long will people whose refugee applications have been repeatedly rejected continue demanding to stay in Japan?
