Richenel, volledige naam Hubertus Richenel Baars (Amsterdam, 20 april 1957 – Amsterdam, 13 maart 2020), was een Nederlands zanger die vooral in de jaren tachtig bekend was. Zijn carrière begon toen hij door een vriend met een eigen band werd gevraagd om als zanger in te vallen, hiervoor werkte hij bij een bank. Als lid van de discoformatie Luxor was hij daarnaast lokaal bekend als zanger en danser, vaak in "extravagante gewaden van eigen ontwerp". Dankzij zijn androgyne uiterlijk was hij een opvallende verschijning. De eerste single Statue of Desire werd niet erg populair. Zijn tweede single, L'Esclave endormi, was echter vooral in Engeland een grote hit. https://hvdommelen.nl/r/Richenel.html

Henri Vanhanen wrote that an armed and masked group had infiltrated Latvia, a NATO member, from Belarus. According to him, the armed men had first attempted to force about 20 migrants across the border and threatened Latvian soldiers. Later, masked individuals had damaged border infrastructure and taken surveillance cameras before returning to Belarus. Vanhanen stated that Latvian authorities had confirmed the events, but the identity of the infiltrators and any possible connection to the Belarusian or Russian state were still under investigation. Vanhanen regarded the events as a reminder that the next crisis at Finland's eastern border could differ from the events of 2023. He called for preparation against armed provocations, sabotage, and deliberate border crossings, and highlighted the resources available at the border, the operations of the Border Guard, and the speed of decision-making in the Defense Forces. He wrote that the integrity of the national border could not be negotiable and that there must be an immediate response to deliberate border crossings. https://t.co/8BnhxJJ5jb #Latvia #Nato #kriisi (translated)

Jan Betlach stated that Naama Abu Rashid was, in his opinion, the youngest known victim of the massacre on October 7th and lived for 14 hours. Her mother, Sudjúd, an Israeli Bedouin in her ninth month of pregnancy, according to his post, was traveling with her husband in labor pains to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba when their car was fired upon by Palestinian terrorists at the Magen intersection. Sudjúd was hit in the stomach, and the child was injured even before birth. According to Betlach, doctors tried to save both the mother and the child; Naama was born alive but died after 14 hours. Betlach claimed that the attackers did not care that the family was Arab and Muslim, nor that Naama was a newborn. He urged people to remember her name when commemorating the victims of October 7th. He marked the post as another part of a series about the actions of Palestinian terrorists. #Paměť (translated)
