喀什米爾分離主義要角吉拉尼（Syed Ali Geelani）在昨（1）日以92歲高齡逝世。當晚，印度有關當局實施維安限制，防止當地暴亂。 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 在吉拉尼逝世的消息宣布後，其住家附近的主要清真寺透過擴音器播放公告，呼籲民眾一同遊行至吉拉尼宅邸。但印度軍隊在查摩與喀什米爾（Jammu and Kashmir）首府斯利那加（Srinagar）通往吉拉尼住處的道路上設置鐵絲網和路障，並部署數千名維安部隊在各個主要道路上，多輛裝甲車也在附近巡邏。同時，當地警方也表示，當地民眾一律不得離開住處，行動網路服務也被中斷。巴基斯坦總理伊姆蘭汗（Imran Khan）在推特上表示，「吉拉尼為他的人民和他們的自決權奮鬥了一生」，並表示巴基斯坦將降下半旗表達哀悼。 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❗️吉拉尼是非常堅定的喀什米爾分離主義倡議者，反對印度統治這個人口多是穆斯林的地區。1960年代初期，他因開始鼓吹喀什米爾與巴基斯坦合併而被印度政府視為眼中釘，之後更以喀什米爾議會成員的身份持續推展訴求，過去11年大多時間則被軟禁在家。一直以來，吉拉尼堅決不接受與印度政府直接談判，除非印度正式接受「喀什米爾是一爭議領土」且「並非印度不可分割的一部分」。喀什米爾被認為是全球最軍事化的地區之一，印度維安部隊在當地部署高達50萬人力。2019年新德里當局廢止憲法第370條賦予當地的「特殊地位」，並收回大部份的自治權，由「邦」降級為「聯邦屬地」，並將喀什米爾分為「查謨與喀什米爾」和「拉達克」（Ladakh），後者由中央政府直接管轄，此舉也導致喀什米爾地區至今仍不斷動盪。 ———————————— #印度 #喀什米爾 #巴基斯坦 #吉拉尼 #亞洲 #國際時事 #國際新聞 #國際內世鏡 #india #kashmir #pakistan #syedaligeelani #asia #insightintoissues- - 資料來源：美聯社、路透社、Al Jazeera、CNN News、ABC News、DW News 圖片來源：美聯社 - 補充資料： Obituary | Syed Ali Shah Geelani: A pro-Pak. ideologue who witnessed Kashmir’s chequered history（The Hindu）｜https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/obituary-syed-ali-shah-geelani-a-pro-pak-ideologue-who-witnessed-kashmirs-chequered-history/article36242516.ece

Honored to wear this “kindness” sweatshirt from @rebeccaminkoff for a special feature w @femalemag. 😍❤️ . The privilege to be seen and picked for the hard heart work. To be nominated, narrowed down, chosen to be a voice for the littles and the mamas. . I’m awkward and goofy and silly and there’s a little big girl at home whom I missed bedtime tonight that thinks her mama is the world. . So everyday, I have a choice on whether I will show up or not. I have a choice on who I will be today, will I be brave? Will I be kind? Will I be authentic? . I have a choice if I shine my light or if I shine His light. . So everyday, I just pray for the grace to say yes. . Yes even when I am in awe that I belong on this incredible list. . Yes even when I know that the final product is the result of many hands and heart that help me be my best. . Yes because someday, when Ella Grace figures out mama isn’t shooting her obituary but for a huge honor, I hope she’s proud of who I was and who I am. . Not for the fancy, but for the mama that comes home at night and strips off all the makeup and the pretty and just snuggles w her. The mama that builds this world for her that I will leave behind. The mama that I hope has role modeled for her that she can be anything. . That she can carve a career out of loving others, that generosity can be a growth strategy and vulnerability a strength. . That you can be kind, brave, authentic and Jesus-loving in business and still be successful. . That you can get in magazines not because or even if but because you are awkward, goofy, and silly. . You do you, Ella Grace. . It won’t always make sense to everyone, but if He calls you to it, you just say yes. . YES!!!!!!!!! 😭❤️🎉 . Thank you @heyyml @vasentaselvanayagam @racheldulis @imstevensunny @imsarahlian and so so many more for today. . . . #femalemagazine #mysuperfemale #rebeccaminkoff

I owe @phoonchiho a lot in life. (This is not an obituary! Please read on) He was the director/advisor in my college play and we became friends. We then started doing stand up comedy but I stopped. Chi Ho kept encouraging me, got me my first spot, and actually introduced me into the @maccomedians which has gone on to have sold out runs 9 years now. As we prepare for the 10th anniversary extravaganza, @phoonchiho this fearless nut has decided to also perform his one hour show ‘#Creepy’. I can’t believe it has taken him this long! I’m proud of him and I urge comedy fans to go check out his show at @theplatform.ttdi on 20 April. KL friends, don’t miss this chance to watch a very significant (albeit creepy) voice of the Malaysian comedy landscape. 2 shows on 20 April - 5pm and 9pm. Go go go Chi Ho go! 📷: @imyourdedy @allisamazing
