This bill requires the Secretary of State to submit a report to Congress on designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. It cites numerous findings that support this designation, including: that several countries have already designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group; the Muslim Brotherhood's founding philosophy incorporated violent jihad and terrorist operations; and that some of its leaders and affiliates have been involved in terrorist attacks or designated as terrorists by the U.S.
This document is a thread by Imam Mohamad Tawhidi listing evidence of links between the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist acts or affiliations. Over 20 examples are provided spanning from the 1940s to recent years, including assassinations of political leaders in Egypt, bombings that killed hundreds in Syria and Egypt, and militant attacks on police and military forces. Several Muslim-majority countries are noted to have designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Connections between the Muslim Brotherhood and other extremist groups like Al-Qaeda and Hamas are also described.
The Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 aims to update terrorism offences to reflect the evolving threat and nature of radicalization, disrupt terrorism by enabling earlier police intervention, and ensure sentences properly reflect the seriousness of offences. Key measures include expanding terrorism offences to include online activity, increasing maximum penalties for preparatory offences, strengthening management of terrorist offenders after release, and conferring new stop and search powers at borders to counter hostile state activity. The Act is intended to ensure police and security services have the necessary powers to tackle terrorism and threats to national security.
The document discusses factors that may contribute to radicalization, including:
1) Grievances such as poor family relationships, bullying, and views on foreign policy combined with exposure to radical ideology.
2) Brainwashing and involvement in gangs and low-level crime.
3) Issues with cultural and religious identity for some young people, especially where parents lack English skills.
However, empirical evidence shows most British Muslims feel integrated and do not experience alienation from mainstream society. There is disagreement over whether a "vacuum in leadership" in Muslim communities has been a factor.

Sweden aligns itself with the EU statement and is committed to advancing gender equality as a fundamental human right. Sweden acknowledges that while it has made progress toward equality through policies like parental leave and access to healthcare, gaps still remain for women in areas like wages and unpaid work. Sweden also expresses concern about the global decline of democracy and attacks against human rights defenders and civil society groups. It highlights its feminist foreign policy and support for issues like reproductive rights. Sweden concludes by saying these are troubling times that require defending existing gender equality gains against forces trying to roll them back.

This document discusses poverty in Africa. It provides an overview of the types and quality of data available for measuring poverty on the continent. While data has improved, limitations still exist. The poor quality and limited availability of data pose challenges for accurately assessing poverty trends. The document also examines poverty from a non-monetary perspective, looking at indicators like health, education and living standards. Measuring multiple deprivations provides a more comprehensive view of poverty. Inequality in Africa is also discussed, including trends, unequal opportunities, and the rise of extreme wealth. Improving and expanding the data is key to better understanding and addressing poverty in the region.
