❤️ Mir Basri 🤣

"Mir (also transliterated as Me'īr and Meer) S. Baṣrī (; 1911-2006) was an Iraqi Jewish writer, economist, journalist, and poet. Among many public positions he held, Basri served as the head and central leader of Baghdad's Jewish community. Life Basri was born on September 19, 1911 in Baghdad, Iraq to Shaool Basri and Farha Dangoor (the daughter of the famous Chief Rabbi of Baghdad Ezra Reuben Dangoor). Basri was educated Baghdad at al-Ta'awun and the Alliance school where he studied Hebrew, English, and French. Following his secondary education, he trained as an economist and studied Arabic literature. In 1928, Basri joined the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, going on to hold a number of government positions including many relating to Iraq's Jewish community. In early January 1969, Basri, then-Chairman of the Jewish Council of Iraq, was detained for almost two months for interviewing an American who the Iraqi government alleged to be a spy. His detention has been characterized as motivated by antisemitic efforts to censor the Iraqi Jewish community. In the early 70's Basri, who had originally been unwilling to immigrate from his home country, left Iraq for Amsterdam. From Amsterdam, he immigrated to the UK where he lived until his death in 2006. Writing During his career, Basri wrote in a variety of genres, including poetry, biography, periodical, and essay and memoir. Much of his writing is centered on his identity as a Jew living in the Arab world during the establishment of Israel; themes of patriotism, homeland, Zionism, and religion are common. Basri described himself as being enthralled with Arabic, particularly Arabic poetry, and published much of his work in the language.

❤️ Wuthathi 🤣

"The Wuthathi, also known as the Mutjati, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the state of Queensland. Anthropologist Norman Tindale distinguished the Mutjati from the Otati, whereas AIATSIS treats the two ethnonyms as variants related to the one ethnic group, the Wuthathi. Language Wuthathi is considered to have been a dialect of the Uradhi branch of the Paman languages. A list of some 400 words of the Otati language was taken down by Charles Gabriel Seligman, and a further 60 by George Pimm, members of Cambridge Anthropological Expedition to Torres Straits in the late 19th century. Country The Wuthathi, according to Tindale, held sway over some of territory extending north from Shelburne Bay north to the vicinity of Orford Ness. The area around Shelburne Bay has been described as the some of 'the most beautiful coastal and island country in Australia, if not the world,' and was home to over 30 rare and threatened species of fauna as the double-wattled cassowary and the palm cockatoo. One report issued after the battle for the conservation of Shelburne Bay from silica mining had been won, stated of Shelburne, together with the Cape Flattery duneland: > The extraordinary landscapes of these two largest dunefields make a lasting > impression on all who view them. Active, large elongated parabolic dunes > rise like snow-clad hills above vegetation and/or lake filled swales. Low > ridges (<2m high) in repeated v-shapes form so called Gegenwalle ground > patterns within the dunefields, that are the best developed and largest in > the world. Donald Thomson places the Otati on the coast south of Oxford Bay down to Margaret Bay. Norman Tindale stated that the Otati dwelt in their traditional lands, measuring roughly , which extended from the southern part of Shelburne Bay, east and south to the Macmillan River, inland as far as the headwaters of the Dulhunty River. Tindale's distinction of the Otati with the Mutjati is not accepted by AIATSIS, which regards the two as variants of the one name. Mythology Wuthathi origin stories focus on their totem, the Diamond stingray, in Wuthathi called yama, which had been washed up on shore and flipped on its back during a tempest, exposing its pure white belly, a tale which apparently had an aetiological purpose for explaining the dazzling white silica dunes characteristic of the site. Lifestyle and economy The Otati were one of the Kawadji, or sandbeach people, like the Pakadji, Olkola and others, who lived along the coast facing the Coral Sea and fished for food in the rivers and ocean. History of contact The Wuthathi were uprooted from the Shelburne Bay area and forcefully herded by the Queensland Government down to the Lockhart Mission where they were forbidden to practice their customs or speak their language. The land they were dispossessed of was then leased out to white pastoralists. When word leaked out in 1985 that a joint Japanese Australian consortium, Shelburne Silica, proposed mining the white silica sand dunes at Shelburne Bay and was seeking a mining lease to work over of dunefields, in order to extract and export 400,000 tonnes a year for the Japanese glass manufacturing industry, the displaced Wuthathi and Australian conservation activists, the latter headed by Don Henry of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland, mobilized to challenge the plan through the courts. The consortium produced documentation claiming that the Wuthathi people were extinct, though one descendant, Alik Pablo, artfully demonstrated his knowledge of the bay when miners lawyers tested him with an upturned map to confuse him. Despite a ruling by the Mining Warden in favour of the indigenous people, the government of Joh Bjelke-Petersen persisted in ignoring the decision. Eventually the then Prime Minister Bob Hawke, included the Shelburne Bay in one of the four conservation areas he marked out as crucial to the national interest, the others being The Daintree Wet Tropics, Kakadu and the Tasmanian Wilderness. In 2016, after a century of dispossession, the Wuthathi right to 118,000 hectares of this spectacular coastal landscape was recognized.
