Thanks for pointing this out!

This article is terrible too though. The entire article is a tweet clarifying that the judgment doesn’t represent the official government position and then… random, unnamed Twitter users talking shit. The subheading is a quote from “social media user” (a well-known authority on such matters!). I can’t find the original comment. They don’t link to any of these comments. I wonder why!

The second quote, attributed to “one Kenyan user” (though it’s just a pro-Palestinain/anti-Israeli account), is a post with 150 views and 10 likes. The final quote, by “another”, is from a post that has 25 views and zero likes. They’ve really got their finger on the pulse!

They’re just finding randos to feed you the story Erdogan wants to tell you. Tellingly, Pakistani and Iranian propaganda channels are also quoting these nobodies too.

I had posted this elsewhere but feel it is relevant to your comment. It describes Erdogan’s position towards the conflict, and could provide some context to your reminder. Worth the read.

Good to know this didn’t happen. Thanks.

Maybe it’s intentional. I remember reading that spam mails with lots of mistakes in them filter out everyone but the intended target audience of idiots who fall for them. This is Turkey’s state propaganda outlet, basically their Al Jazeera, so it’s not that far-fetched to think that they are filtering out people who are naive enough to post and upvote this garbage publication.

Chad is actually a separate country northwest of Uganda. Don’t think they’re involved.
