Looking for information on the Maurice family from Kabwe, Zambia - Catholic
Goans who returned to Goa around 1972-73. Mr. Maurice worked for Zambia
Railways. They were close family friends, and I'd be grateful for any clues
about where they resettled. I can be contacted at [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>  or [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> . Thank you.

Ladakhi activist and education reformer Sonam Wangchuk said on Tuesday that
a meaningful and productive dialogue on Ladakh?s demands for statehood and
Sixth Schedule protections would require flexibility from all sides."

"One of Israel?s most highly regarded and world-renowned professors of
history and international relations, Avi Shlaim, says that Donald Trump is
'Netanyahu?s poodle', adding that Netanyahu 'plays him like a fiddle'.
Prof. Shlaim says that Donald Trump is the only American President who is
gullible enough to become part of Netanyahu?s plan for regime change in
Iran. However, Prof. Shlaim believes that regime change is almost
impossible to achieve from the air and what is far more likely is that the
regime will survive and if Mojtaba Khamenei remains the supreme leader he
is likely to be more ruthless and a hardliner.

Prof. Shlaim also believes that the regime only needs to survive to, in
effect, win, whereas America if it doesn?t win has, in effect, lost. Prof.
Shlaim has spoken with context and detail and if you want to understand all
the different issues that arise out of the present US-Israel-Iran war and
if you want answers to the questions that many people have been asking for
the last twenty days than I recommend you see this interview. Prof. Shlaim
has explained things simply, clearly and very effectively. He has a very
clear view that runs right through the interview and it?s a very easy
interview to follow. You will learn a lot from it. This is particularly
true of those who haven?t followed the war or understood the issues
involved closely. This is your best opportunity to find out."
