Ground Report: Tibetan Refugees in Paris: Story of Faith, Exile, Resistance in face of Chinese Wrath

Inside a peaceful Parisian park lies a powerful story of faith, exile, and identity. Every year, Tibetans gather at the Pagoda of Vincennes for the Sakya Monlam prayer—thousands of kilometers from their homeland. As tensions rise with China over the Dalai Lama’s successor, refugees like Tenzing and Lobsang share their fears, hopes, and ties to India—whom they call their “second homeland.” This is more than a spiritual gathering—it's a silent resistance for a forgotten people. #Tibet #Paris #TibetanRefugees #DalaiLama #ChinaVsTibet #TibetInExile #HiddenTemple #BoisDeVincennes #TibetanCulture #HumanRights #FaithAndResistance #IndiaTibet #TibetanDiaspora #FreeTibet #TibetanVoices #TibetanPrayer #ChinaPolitics #ExileStories #Buddhism #SpiritualResilience

Dalai Lama at 90: China’s Challenge and the Future of Tibetan Leadership

As the Dalai Lama turns 90, he declares his successor will not be born in China—defying Beijing’s succession claims. China, which once called Tibetan Buddhism “poison,” insists it will approve any reincarnation. India backs the Tibetan leader, with PM Modi and Minister Kiren Rijiju supporting religious autonomy. The threat of two Dalai Lamas—one genuine, one Chinese-appointed—echoes the Panchen Lama crisis. With global attention rising, the future of Tibetan Buddhism hinges on protecting its sacred, sovereign traditions. #DalaiLama90 #Tibet #ChinaTibet #ReligiousFreedom #TibetanBuddhism #PanchenLama #DalaiLamaSuccession #IndiaSupportsTibet #BeijingVsDharamshala #ModiOnTibet #TibetanRights #GlobalFaith #FreeTibet #SpiritualLeadership #CommunistChina #CulturalHeritage #KirenRijiju #TibetUnderThreat #ChinaInterference #SacredTraditions #TibetanStruggle #AsiaGeopolitics #TwoDalaiLamas #ReincarnationBattle #DalaiLamaStatement Also Read Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu [Video]

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition. #Russia #Palestine #Israel #France #Macron #UN #TwoStateSolution #MiddleEastConflict #Kremlin #PalestinianStatehood #GazaWar #Netanyahu #MarcoRubio #USIsraelTensions #UNRecognition #WorldNews #GlobalDiplomacy #EastJerusalem #WestBank #PalestineRecognition

Macron Recognizes Palestinian State, Enrages US, Israel |France Accused of Backing Hamas 'Terrorism' [Video]

Macron Recognizes Palestinian State, Enrages US, Israel |France Accused of Backing Hamas 'Terrorism'

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism. As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow? The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount. #Macron #FrancePalestine #IsraelPalestine #GazaWar #Hamas #MiddleEastConflict #UNRecognition #TwoStateSolution #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #Netanyahu #USIsrael #PalestineStatehood #EmmanuelMacron ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.346~GR.125~
