𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟐 - The Philippines celebrated its 126th year of independence from the colonial ruling of Spain, but true sovereignty was achieved on July 4, 1946. Initially a Commonwealth under U.S. supervision from 1935, the Philippines had limited self-governance. This era, marked by preparations for full independence, culminated in the establishment of the 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬. On July 4, 1946, Manuel Acuña Roxas (our great grandfather) was inaugurated as the first President, signifying the nation's complete autonomy from American rule.

Takaful question of the day: suppose we were to organise the Takaful operators globally such that participants voluntarily gave their surplus for helping out in Gazza. How do we actually do this? I think the first step is to organise the collection on a country basis. Perhaps in Malaysia this could be the Malaysian Takaful Association. Then what, are there rules or regulations on moving such money overseas? Assuming this is ok, who do we trust to get the money to the people? Honestly speaking the country I trust most there is Jordan. I believe Jordanian language and culture is most similar to Palestine, and the palestinian refugees there are integrated into society. There are also Takaful operators there. Do we get a Takaful operator there to be on the ground coordinating aid? Would it be possible to get the funds to a Takaful operator in Palestine itself or would they have been wiped out by now?

This is a crucial and international issue that dates back to the communism era where USSR decided to give as a present this strategic territory to the Azers ignoring in the same time ,the ethnic destabilization that might occur. Nowadays it is quite implausible to generate a new political equilibrium that will considerate all parties sensitivities'.

#StopTransnationalRepression - 👮 Lao police have handed over 17 Myanmar nationals to junta soldiers at the northern Golden Triangle border, in what is a disturbing first for the state. 🤝 Furthermore, the collaboration of the Lao government and the illegal junta to hunt down dissenters across the border means that these activists and refugees have nowhere to escape. 💰 Since the military coup, over 40, 000 Myanmar nationals have sought refuge in Laos, many working in Chinese-controlled special economic zones notorious for casinos where money laundering, human and drug trafficking are rampant. ☠️ Sending these young migrants, activists, defectors or human rights defenders back to Myanmar exposes them to arbitrary arrest, detention, torture and other human rights violations. 📣 States MUST honor the principle of non-refoulement and refrain from turning back those who have well-founded fears of persecution. ✊ Manushya Foundation condemns this gross human rights violation, and stresses that we must hold states and law enforcement accountable for this unjust asylum system, and regional persecution.

My inaugural ISS (ENACT) publication 😊 delves into Kenya's challenges in combatting money laundering and terror financing. Click the link below for further details. Summary: The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) placed Kenya on its 'grey list' for the second time on 23 February 2024 due to strategic deficiencies in combating money laundering and terrorism financing. This listing highlights weaknesses in regulation over sectors like real estate and legal firms. Additionally, the US Department of Treasury sanctioned 16 entities in Kenya for terror financing ties. Kenya's grey-listing poses risks of reduced investor confidence and challenges in financial transactions. Efforts to enhance oversight, prosecute suspects, and improve international cooperation are vital for financial redemption. #moneylaundering #terrorfinancing
