The operation is launched by US President Donald Trump and is named after LeGend Taliferro, a four-year-old Black child who was shot dead in Kansas City, Missouri, on June 29 while sleeg in his apartment. The operation was announced by the United States Department of Justice on July 8, 2020 to help the local police battle the “sudden surge of violent crime” in the city. Over 200 arrests were made in the city, which has reportedly seen a 40 per cent spike in murders in the last year, after over 100 federal troops were ushered in.Since the killing of George Floyd at the hands of the police in Minneapolis on May 25, anti-racism protesters have been protesting on the streets of the city to seek police reforms. In early July, federal troops were moved into the city “to protect federal property”, but have often violently clashed with protesters and detained many in unmarked vehicles.
Greece and Italy will sign an agreement on maritime boundaries during a visit of Italian Foreign Minister to Athens on June 9, 2020. The deal follows months of tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean region over natural resources.
The deal is “an important development” and shows Greece’s constant goal is to delimit maritime zones with all its neighbors, with valid agreements that adhere to international law — unlike Turkey’s agreement with Libya, Greek Foreign Minister Nikolaos Dendias said in Athens, following the signing of the accord with his Italian counterpart Luigi Di Maio.
The agreement is an extension of a 1977 accord and opens the way for Greece and Italy to issue licenses for the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbon resources. The deal also paves the way for Greece to reach a similar deal with neighboring Albania.
The agreement comes amid tensions in the eastern Mediterranean over natural resources. The region has become an energy hot spot with big finds for EU member Cyprus, as well as for Israel and Egypt in recent years, and Turkey’s push to secure a of the resources in those waters has been seen as exacerbating strains in an already tumultuous region.
