‘Omar al-Mokhtar is considered the great symbol for the Libyan resistance (Jihad) against the Italian occupation. In 1922 he reorganized the Mojahideen and re-ignited the resistance against Italy after World War I when the [Fascists] thought that they succeeded in silencing the Libyan resistance. Omar Al-Mokhtar was ill [a] couple of times and many of his comrades asked him to retire and leave the country; he was [nearly] 80 years old. But he refused and kept fighting and he deserved a name given to him as “The Lion of the Desert.” On 16 September, 1931 the [Fascists] hanged Omar Al-Mokhtar in the city of Solouq and they forced the Libyans to watch their hero be hanged. No consideration to Omar Al-Mokhtar's old age, no consideration to international law and no consideration to world war treaties.’

(Source. Note that the ‘Mojahideen’ is not to be confused with the unrelated Afghan mujahideen.)

As paraphrased in the dramatization Lion of the Desert, to General Rodolfo Graziani:

‘We will never surrender. We win, or we die. […] You will have the next generation to fight, and after the next, the next. As for me, I will live longer than my hangman.’

— Omar al-Mukhtar (1862–1931)

-Two large tsps of instant coffee
-Dissolve with hot water in the bottom of the cup
-Stir, add milk
-Put ice in glass, move coffee to your glass

Cheaper than Starbucks
I'm gonna try this with ground coffee and different types of milk. Overall the coffee sets the taste and intensity while the milk sets the texture of the coffee. (Make coffee in a cup then move it to a glass when milk is added to avoid breaking the glass)

I've officially created a geopolitical discussion group on Matrix. I would like to affiliate it with this Lemmy community.

I read in the news that Peter Bourgon was officially excommunicated from Go "community spaces". I'm curious if this community space, [email protected], plans to comply with the ban. I think it would be useful to identify and support spaces that will not carry it out.

If you want you can use this image for the Lemmy community as well. There is a site that makes these for all country flags, and i prefer this version because compared to "flat" flag images, it's got a little bit of shading to make it visually pleasing. The file size is also impressively small.

Glad to see someone already created this sub. I hope it is managed well. I wanted to announce that I created the group "Free Palestine" on matrix.org

Hopefully we can collaborate with this community.

Has anyone dared to try this?

I have never heard of this, so I'm curious what it's about.
