Nicaragua has appointed an ambassador to Afghanistan, marking a rare move to strengthen diplomatic ties with the Taliban regime. The appointment comes despite the Taliban’s lack of formal recognition by the international community, including the United States. This move has raised questions about Nicaragua’s stance on human rights and women’s rights in Afghanistan.
A video has been shared on social media claiming to show an International Court of Justice (ICJ) judge ordering Germany to withdraw its support for Israel in a genocide case brought by Nicaragua. However, this video has been taken out of context. The person in the video is not a judge but a registrar who read out Nicaragua’s request for provisional measures, which the court has not yet ruled on.
