The impact would be even greater had the mainstream media covered Israel objectively i.e showing the IDF bombing civilians and residential homes,hospitals,church,mosques in vivid detail

also wall to wall coverage of nethanyahu, his cabinet ministers and his UK ambassador's horrific rthetorics and IDF soldiers dancing on the graves of dead babies,targetting and killing journalist and denying them medical care by blocking ambulances and so on


shyt like this never get any real coverage by mainstream media that's controlled by zionist

Palestine will be free one day inshaAllah. But i hope its soon so they can try and execute that scumbag for all his crimes against humanity.

African Ports Overwhelmed By Red Sea Reroutings​

By Wendell Roelf (Reuters) – Shipping companies sailing around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid Houthi attacks on the Red Sea face tough choices over where to refuel and restock, as African ports struggle with red tape, congestion and poor facilities, companies and analysts say.

Hundreds of large vessels are rerouting around the southern tip of Africa, a longer route adding 10-14 days of travel, to escape drone and missile attacks by Yemeni Houthis that have pushed up oil prices and freight rates.

The attacks by Iranian-backed militants have disrupted international trade through the Suez Canal, the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia, which accounts for about a sixth of global traffic.

South Africa’s major ports, including Durban, one of Africa’s largest in terms of container volumes handled, as well as Cape Town and Ngqura ports are among the worst performing globally, a World Bank 2022 index released in May found.

“Even the state that Durban is in now, it is still the most advanced and largest port in Africa, so ships rerouting around the continent have very limited choices for berthing for replenishment,” Alessio Lencioni, a logistics and supply chain consultant told Reuters.

Other large African deep-water ports along the Cape route, such as Mombasa in Kenya and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania are too ill-equipped to handle the expected traffic over the next couple of weeks, Lencioni said.

Maersk said vessels routed around the Cape will as far as possible try to fuel at origin or destination.

“In case there is a need for bunkering en route, it would be decided on a case by case basis with Walvis Bay (Namibia) or Port Louis (Mauritius) being the top options,” a spokesperson said.

CAPE OF STORMS​

Rough weather with high seas, common at the ‘Cape of Storms’ as well as the cyclone-prone Mozambique Channel, mean ships could burn through their fuel quicker, making refueling services crucial, shippers said.

“In Singapore, we’re delivering larger bunker volumes to vessels that will now be sailing longer voyages,” a spokesperson for TFG Marine, a unit of energy trader Trafigura, said.

Bureaucracy is a concern. In September, South Africa’s National Revenue Service detained five bunkering vessels in Algoa Bay on suspicion of contravening the Customs and Excise Act. BP, Trafigura and Mercuria have all been hit by suspensions pending audits.

Since South Africa’s first ship-to-ship offshore bunkering started in Algoa Bay in 2016, there has been a sharp rise in fuel volumes and vessels using it.

A spokesperson for Heron Marine, the TFG Marine affiliate operating in Algoa Bay, said the company is working with customers to manage their bunkering requirements. Mercuria and BP BP.L did not immediately respond to questions.

In anticipation of more marine fuel being needed, imports are expected to rise to around 230 kilotonnes in December, analysts say.

“South Africa is expecting a record high of fuel oil imports for December,” because of demand for refueling linked to the Houthi crisis, Younes Azzouzi, market analyst at data and analytics specialist Kpler said.

This and the NY Times story, after doing all the propaganda, slowly but surely they will now report what really happened.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

but surely they will now report what really happened.

You thought

 

[ALonelyDad]

You thought

it will be slow but eventually they will do it and then say they can't believe it happened and regret it, just like the Iraq war hopefully with the internet we can remind them of their original stances

Somehow Israel’s poorly planned out military response has overshadowed the slaughter of Oct 7. And if you’re unbiased and have seen the images or read about Israel’s 47 minute video of the atrocities, you’d know that whatever happened on Oct 7 was horrifying for Israeli civilians. And yet THAT is being overshadowed by Israel’s depravity because of just how egregiously inhumane Israel’s operation, which I might add was necessary and justified, has been.

Hamas slaughtered 1200+ people on a religious day. And THAT is being overshadowed. Nobody even talking about that anymore. That’s how bad Israel’s military response has been for their public perception. They’re DONE. Israel as a state will of course survive but it will take many decades to repair their reputation.

Israel's operation of genocide was not necessary or justified. The many times these people have gone on TV and called Palestinians dogs and want them killed so they can build settlements, laughing at torturing and killing kids etc. There's a special place in hell for these sick people. They're no different than the Nazis, isis, al Qaeda etc
