Day: December 26, 2024
People gathered in prayer and visited mass graves in Indonesia’s Aceh province on Thursday to mark 20 years since the massive Indian Ocean tsunami hit the region in one of modern history’s worst natural disasters.
The powerful earthquake off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra on December 26, 2004, triggered a tsunami that killed around 230,000 people across a dozen countries, reaching as far as East Africa. Some 1.7 million people were displaced, mostly in the four worst-affected countries: Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand. More than 170,000 people died in Indonesia alone.
In Thailand, people gathered at a memorial ceremony in Ban Nam Khem, a small fishing village in Phang Nga province that bore the brunt of the devastating wave that claimed the lives of over 8,000 people in Thailand.
In India, hundreds gathered at Marina beach in the southern city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu state. They poured milk into the sea to propitiate gods and offered flowers and prayers for the dead as drums beat in the background. According to official data, 10,749 people were killed in India.
In Sri Lanka, survivors and relatives of tsunami victims gathered at the coastal village of Pereliya and laid flowers at a memorial that commemorates the nearly 2,000 passengers who died when their train, the Queen of the Sea, was hit by the wave. Only a few dozen people are believed to have survived. Overall, more than 35,000 people died in Sri Lanka in the tsunami.

Nobody, not even Trump, can beat Putin in lying. The Swedish Defence Research Agency established that Russia used “coercive energy policy,” such as supply cuts, coercive price policy, & sabotage 55 times from 1991 until 2006. Gazprom was the dominant actor in 16 of these cases. https://t.co/qhmmMEgfT2

What a brilliant take…
So, we should focus on imposing real punishment and costs on those responsible for damaging NATO critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea…?
Hmm, I wonder who else that might apply to…?
