Three days on and more questions than answers are emerging on how a rusty trawler carrying "hundreds" of people sank off the Greek coast in the deepest part of the Mediterranean Sea. 

On Friday, the United Nations called for an urgent investigation into the incident as hundreds were feared missing - including 100 children onboard the vessel.

Greek officials said it recovered the dead bodies of 78 men, women and children in the immediate aftermath of the shipwreck on Wednesday. Since then, no bodies have been found. 

Around 104 survivors - all men and primarily Syrian, Egyptian and Pakistani - were rescued after the incident, though as many as 500 more people are missing and feared dead.

But as Greek officials wrap up its search operation, many are asking if the Hellenic coastguard and its European partners could have done more to rescue people onboard the ship.

The United Nations has called for an urgent investigation into an incident when a boat holding hundreds of people sank off the Greek coast, as reports claim the coastguard ignored distress calls from the vessel. 

Greek officials said at least 78 people died, with hundreds feared missing, including a hundred children, after the sinking of a rusty trawler off Greeces Peloponnese peninsula on Wednesday.

Around 100 survivors - the majority Syrian, Egyptian, and Pakistani - have been recovered, though it is thought as many as 500 more people could be dead.

There were 100 children reportedly in the boat's hold.

On Friday, the Greek coastguard was continuing its search operations, set to conclude at the end of the day.

The UNHCR described the incident in a joint statement on Friday as the worst incident in several years to have taken place in the Mediterranean and its surrounding seas. 

UN human rights spokesperson Jeremy Laurence told reporters in Geneva that there is a need to investigate "people smugglers" and "human traffickers"...

The Arab-Iranian Dialogue as a prerequisite of these countries entry into the BRICS "IndyWatch Feed Asia"

The Arab-Iranian Dialogue

A three-day informal Arab-Iranian Dialogue has just taken place in Doha (Qatar). The conference, mostly held behind closed doors, acquired special significance because it took place shortly after events showing that the world may be ready to turn a new page in its history.  First, the top leadership of both countries Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei not only positively perceived the idea of Russian President Vladimir Putin to create a multipolar world, but are also actively implementing this plan. Second, both leaders vigorously advocate limiting the overwhelming and negative role of the United States in the entire Gulf region.

The Iranian participants included former officials and high-ranking representatives of universities and semi-official institutions. They offered different points of view on Tehrans regional policy. The majority expressed a new desire for interaction, reconciliation and cooperation. For the first time, they agreed to the idea of holding negotiations with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) on Irans nuclear program. They showed flexibility on some regional issues, which was even more evident during the negotiations on the sidelines of the main event.

It should be recalled that the relations of the Arab world with Iran were complicated during the era of Mohammad Reza Shah, and especially after the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. Since then, Tehran has been paying increased attention to its foreign policy and spreading the ideas of the Islamic Revolution in neighboring countries, especially the Arab world. Harsh, unjustified sanctions by the United States and European countries forced the Iranian leadership to militarize the Iranian economy in order to protect the countrys sovereignty, which led to the impoverishment of its people and brought the once prosperous country to the brink of collapse. But Tehran has successfully overcome all the obstacles of the Western world on its way to sovereignty and is following the path of protecting the Iranian...

Taliban Border Clashes With Neighboring States Of Afghanistan (Map Update) "IndyWatch Feed War"

Taliban Border Clashes With Neighboring States Of Afghanistan (Map Update)

Originally published by IslamicWorldNews

Since the onset of Talibans takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban-affiliated militants have conducted 26 clashes with Afghanistan neighbors. The armed conflicts have resulted in the death and injury of dozens of civilians as well as border guards from Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other neighboring countries.

The main root cause of the Talibans border clashes with Afghanistans neighbors is that the Taliban militants possess insufficient know-how regarding international border laws and regulations. More importantly, the Taliban rulers do not make any effort to prevent tensions with their neighbor states!

Afghanistan is a landlocked country, which does not have any access to free waters. And the prelude to the establishment of stability and security in such a region is cooperation with neighboring states in order to create appropriate condition for economic and political growth along with issues such as security and stability.

Unfortunately, following five decades of conflict and bloodshed in Afghanistan, the country is still involved in ethnic clashes as well as pursuit of self-interest by powerful individuals and one-dimensional governments. Hence, it can be predicted that the war-torn...

Asian central banks to ditch SWIFT, adopt Iran's alternative as de-dollarization accelerates "IndyWatch Feed World"

In the latest shot fired in the growing rebellion against US dollar dominance, the nine-nation Asian Clearing Union (ACU) has agreed to use Iran's financial messaging system as an alternative to the dollar-denominated SWIFT system that has long served as the globe's financial nervous system. "The secretary general of the Asian Clearing Union (ACU) says Iran's financial messaging system SEPAM will replace SWIFT, a dollar-based international system, in trade exchanges between ACU members beginning next month," Iran's IRNA News Agency reported. At a Tehran summit in May, ACU members agreed to establish a SWIFT alternative within a month. The adoption of Iran's SEPAM will be an interim measure, as the ACU will develop its own messaging system over the next several months. Established in 1974, the ACU now comprises the central banks of India, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan. Belarus and Mauritius applied for ACU membership at the May summit...
