Canada and the Catholic Church have failed to reckon with their legacy of residential schools, experts say, after a First Nation found the remains of 215 children buried under a former residential school.⁣

A statement was issued last week confirming that the undocumented remains of the children, some as young as three, were found under the former Catholic-run Kamloops Indian Residential School, one of the largest of its kind in Canada. ⁣

Up to 500 students were enrolled at the school, which ran from 1890 to 1978, at any given time. ⁣

Residential schools, run by Catholics, Anglicans, and others, were used by the Canadian government to forcibly assimilate an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children. ⁣

It amounted to genocide, something Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has acknowledged. ⁣

Findings published by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) five years ago detailed how students were systematically stripped away from their families and forced to attend residential schools, where they were often punished for speaking their Indigenous languages or expressing their identities. ⁣

The Canadian government flew flags at half mast at all federal buildings on Sunday to honour the 215 children found, but a lot more needs to be done. ⁣

Meanwhile, the Catholic Church has never apologized to the survivors of residential schools, despite pleas from Trudeau for the Church to do so. (The Anglican, Presbyterian, and United churches apologized in the 90s.) ⁣

In a brief statement issued Monday, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops said it expressed their “deepest sorrow for the heartrending loss,” and called the discovery “shocking,” but didn’t acknowledge the Church’s complicity. ⁣

Neither the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, nor the Holy See Mission, which represents the Vatican at the United Nations, responded to requests for comment.⁣

Executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, Cindy Blackstock, told CTV it’s time for the Church to “really accept full responsibility for reparations to families.”⁣

Border police wanted to detain these two men. Their neighbors wouldn't let them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Sumit Sehdev and Lakhvir Singh, have been freed after an eight-hour standoff with local residents and protesters after being detained by immigration enforcement officials.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
On Thursday, immigration enforcement officers in bundled the men into a police van – but were prevented from driving off when a local resident climbed underneath the van. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
He remained under the van for several hours, when it was confirmed that Sehdev and Singh would be freed back into their community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Over the course of the day, hundreds of south side residents had surrounded the van – forcing back police lines and facing off with dozens of officers. Police had deployed around 20 vans, horses and vehicle removal units to the scene.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
After the initial blockade of the van, word spread quickly on social media, and the crowd began to swell. As worshippers left the local mosque, where the neighbourhood’s large Muslim community had been celebrating Eid, they joined the lines.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Protesters sat in the road blocking police who attempted to clear the area and refused to move.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Behind the scenes, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and SNP Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf were heaping pressure on the Home Office. By 5.20PM, an agreement was secured for the two men to be freed without charge and escorted to the local gurdwara, within a police cordon.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“I am so glad that my fate brought me here to Glasgow, where the people are so connected they will come out onto the streets to help one of their own,” Singh said after his release.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For many in the crowd the demonstration was about showing their disgust at the UK government’s “hostile environment” immigration policy – a set of measures designed to make life so difficult for migrants without indefinite leave to remain that they “voluntarily” leave the country.⁣⁣

Israel’s military has said air and ground forces have launched attacks on targets in the Gaza strip following days of airstrikes.⁣

Palestinian families were forced to flee neighborhoods on the outskirts of Gaza City on Friday as Israel unleashed heavy artillery fire at what it said was a large network of militant tunnels.⁣

Meanwhile Israel has gathered troops along the border and called up 9,000 reservists.⁣

Hamas, the ruling organization inside , have fired around 1,800 rockets, and the Israeli military has launched more than 600 airstrikes, toppling at least three high-rise apartment buildings, as well as shelling some areas with tanks stationed near the frontier.⁣

The Gaza Health Ministry says the death toll has risen to 119, including 31 children and 19 women, with a further 830 wounded.⁣

Hamas have confirmed 20 deaths in their ranks, though Israel says that number is much higher.⁣

Seven people have been killed in Israel, including a 6-year-old boy and a soldier.⁣

The Israeli military said in a statement early on Friday, that “air and ground” troops had “begun attacking in the Gaza strip”.⁣

It later issued a statement clarifying that there were no troops inside the Gaza Strip, suggesting it was not a ground invasion but artillery and tank fire from the border.⁣

“We were planning to leave our homes at night, but Israeli jets bombarded us so we had to wait until the morning,” Hedaia Maarouf, who fled with her extended family, told AP. She added: “We were terrified for our children, who were screaming and shaking.”⁣

Tensions escalated this week over ahead of a court ruling on whether authorities are allowed to evict dozens of Palestinians from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Last weekend Israeli police stormed the Al Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem, one of Islam's most revered locations. It is also the holiest site in Judaism, known as the Temple Mount.⁣

Two weeks into the wave of protests roiling , hundreds of people swept up by police are missing, and the authorities have been largely silent on their fate.

Many of the missing are believed to be in clandestine detention centers, beyond the reach of basic legal protections.

Police are sweeping up protesters at blockades, leaving NGOs scrambling to find as many as 435 people who have gone missing during the unrest.

The unrest grew out of a protest against a proposed tax reform and provoked a brutal police crackdown, leading to the deaths of at least 41 demonstrators.

The police violence enraged many Colombians and transformed the protests into a national movement revealing deep discontent with the country’s inequality, poverty, and police abuse.

“I’m not afraid [for myself]. I’m afraid that nothing will come from the strike and that all the people who have died," said Mayra López, one of the demonstrators who was arrested and detained.

Many missing demonstrators haven’t been reported dead or arrested, and NGOs are working frantically to find them. Some in Cali are crowdsourcing information to find the missing protestors using Facebook, Twitter and other social media. While Colombia’s human rights ombudsman has reported 168 disappearances, one NGO estimates that there could be as many as 435 — many of them concentrated in Cali, where much of the unrest has been centered.

Some of those who have returned from these detention centers reported being subjected to physical abuse, according to the Working Group on Forced Disappearances, a collective of Colombian human rights organizations.

“The detainees are not allowed to have contact with the lawyers so all this has become enormously difficult,” said Elmer Montaña, a former prosecutor for the Cali Attorney General’s Office who is now the executive director of the Defense of Innocents Foundation in Cali.

“The only thing we have been aware of is that the number of people reported as disappeared increases by the hour, the vast majority of them young people who have participated in blockades or rallies.”

Before she left for school, 12-year-old Zahra Sultani took her family’s laundry to a nearby hill where there was water in her neighbourhood.⁣

After completing the errand, Zahra went to class. But she never returned. Zahra’s mother, and dozens like her, spent the weekend burying their daughters after three bombs at a school in Afghanistan’s capital killed at least 60 people.⁣

Most of the victims were teenage girls leaving their school in Kabul’s Dasht-e-Barchi area, with close to 1.5 million people, most of them ethnic Hazara.⁣

The Afghan Ministry of Interior Affairs confirmed that the first explosion was from a su***de car bomber, followed by two IEDs planted near the school’s front gate. The car bomb detonated right in front of the school, and when the students started to run in panic, the other two devices exploded.⁣

Many of the victims were buried in a mass funeral overlooking their school on Sunday, on a hilltop known as the Education Martyrs Cemetery, which is dedicated to people who lost their lives in pursuit of an education. Many tombstones there have girls’ names on them, testifying to the long struggle for more inclusive schooling in the country.⁣

The bombing comes as violence escalates across following U.S. President Joe Biden’s announcement of American troop withdrawals this September.⁣

No one has claimed responsibility for the blasts so far. A Taliban spokesman denied involvement in a message to the media.⁣

Amid the darkness, there were stories of hope. Courageous teachers worked quickly to get students safely out of school.⁣

Yalda Yusufi, a ninth-grade student and survivor, provided a dramatic account.⁣

“During the bombings, we were just getting out of school. When we heard the explosions, we were asked to go to the back of the school,” she said. “The teachers guided us to a safe area in the hillside until the explosions stopped.”⁣

“I feel strongly about going to school. The Taliban and Daesh [ISIS] want us to stop studying, to become backwards, illiterate, but I will never accept that,” said ninth-grade student Taiyeba Nabizada.⁣

Nepal’s COVID-19 crisis is so bad that officials are now asking mountaineers who climb Mount Everest, the world’s tallest peak, to bring back their empty oxygen cylinders. ⁣

As multiple private and public hospitals run out of oxygen and hospital beds, even resulting in COVID-19 patients sleeping on floors or in corridors, the government says it urgently needs 25,000 cylinders. ⁣

And it has its eyes on the oxygen cylinders that climbers take to breathe on Everest.⁣

“At the moment, we have 408 climbers at the base camp pushing to summit, and each person has about 4 cylinders, while their Sherpa climbing guides usually carry 3, and there are also solo travellers who carry their own cylinders,” Kul Bahadur, the General Secretary of the Nepal Mountaineering Association said in a statement. ⁣

“So roughly, we can expect about 2,500 cylinders to come back after this expedition.”⁣

Over the weekend, Nepal reported a daily spike of 8,777 infections, which is 30 times more than the number recorded last month. And the government is trying to prepare. "We also need oxygen plants, compressors and ICU beds urgently," Samir Kumar Adhikari, a health ministry official told Reuters. ⁣

Adhikari added that Nepal had requested China to supply about 20,000 oxygen cylinders. ⁣

So far this climbing season, which started in March, climbers and their Sherpa guides have used an estimated 3,500 oxygen cylinders to scale the summit. At Everest's peak, 29,029 feet up, each breath pulls in less than a third of the oxygen of a breath at sea level, so cylinders are essential to make the climb possible.⁣

“Climbers generally need to use this oxygen when they reach 7,300 metres above sea level, and carrying these cylinders down is a difficult task.” Shiva Bahadur Sapkota, mountaineer and General Secretary of the Everest Summiteers Association said.

Sapkota added that even though there is a rule that stipulates all objects carried by climbers to have to be brought back, cylinders are often left buried under a thick layer of snow in cases of avalanche, accidents or frostbite.⁣
