Peterborough nurse who went from refugee to ultramarathon runner
Shariqua Ahmed/BBCAfter completing a 27-hour ultramarathon, a former Afghan immigrant who works as an NHS caregiver wants to motivate more Arab people to play sports.
Fatima Painda, who lives in Peterborough, grew up in the city of Ghazni, in a mountainous area of Afghanistan, but fled to the UK when she was 14 to avoid the Taliban.
Ms Painda, a lieutenant girl at Peterborough City Hospital, embarked on a global going concern this summers, and she will be running roads and sprints across 26 places.
She wants to raise money and recognition for Afghan women who are facing unfairness and become a “voice for change.”
In August, she became one of the several Afghan people, “or even the first Afghan woman”, to finish the annual 100km ultra-endurance CCC culture in France– part of the UTMB World Series.
Mr Painda and her six sisters grew upward working on their family’s land after school, climbing rocks with associates and living a “beautiful” life, she said.
Her school was an hour-long move from her home, and she and her companions frequently chased lorries and jumped on them to prevent walking. She had her first working knowledge.
She and her home escaped after the Taliban seized the nation in 1996.
During their voyage, her home was shot at by the Taliban. At the Pakistani border, they were even robbed of their items.
Fatima Painda‘ I did n’t feel the need to fit in ‘
Fatima PaindaIn Peterborough, she attended Nene Park Academy and, in 2019, she graduated from the University of East Anglia.
She has been training at Peterborough Athletics Track for about 15 times with her coach Paul Harkins.
Mr Harkins described her as “inspirational” and said he had great dreams for her.
When we first moved here, I felt lost. I missed the hills”, Ms Painda said.
” My manager has been there for me through all of my downs and ups.”
” Yes, there is discrimination and restrictions. However, I did n’t think I needed to run because I did n’t need to. Running for me means you have tutors on and you rule the world.
” I did n’t feel the need to fit in or change… I know Muslim people who have faced prejudices.
” If a person who does n’t know me says something to me… I am not going to relate. I do n’t think it has anything to do with me, but they might be going through something on their own.
” Being that means is difficult.” But you have to be thus strong in your basis”.
Mr Painda juggles13-hour swings working in the patient’s A&, E office with her running, as well as offering individual fitness training.
She was praised for serving as a global role model for girls in the November issue of Women’s Going.
Over the years, she has been an ambassador for Free to Run, a charity set up to empower women through sport in Afghanistan and Iraq.
She claimed that she was fueled by her love for running and care.
Mr Painda hopes to be” a message for change” and an enthusiasm for other people, particularly from the Arab community.
She has also referred to her home as her “backbone” in honor of them.
” Living for people in Afghanistan is extremely difficult. It’s heartbreaking to see them being deprived of basic right”, she said.
” I actually felt that all the Afghan people were with me when I crossed that end range in Chamonix.” I felt but incredible and powerful. It was a lovely experience”.
She added:” There is so much going around in the universe – in Afghanistan, to Hazara persons, in Palestine, in Lebanon. But if we can spread compassion at any opportunity, we may get it.
I wo n’t stop raising awareness or promoting the issues. If I may modify one life, either through running or through medical and compassion, I did keep going.”
Thai govt sends letter of protest to Israel
Demands that no more Thai staff be stationed in high-risk places
Following a recent jet attack that left four Thai workers dead and one injured, the government has written to Israel in opposition.
Thai people are also being advised to delay non-essential go to Israel and another Middle Eastern countries at this time by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Hezbollah fired a rocket from Lebanon, which hit the city of Metula in Israel on Friday, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Maris Sangiampongsa, who announced on Saturday that the government had submitted the text after receiving information of the Thai staff ‘ deaths.
Thailand is urging all events to revert to a course of peace, he added as a member of the UN Human Rights Council. To reduce the number of Thai employees entering Israel for work, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Royal Thai Embassy in Tel Aviv collaborated.
The opposition email comes in response to reports that some Israeli companies are also assigning Thai workers to high-risk locations on short-term contracts, with some of the workers staying there for only two to three hours.
” Some of us have traveled abroad to work for a better life,” said Mr. Maris, “it’s entirely understandable.” However, the Middle East’s present situation is incredibly strange, with a substantial level of violence in the ongoing conflict.
Akkapon Wannasai and Prayat Pilasram from Udon Thani, Kaweesak Papanang and Thana Tichantuek, all of whom were identified as the four employees killed in the jet strike, were all from Nakhon Ratchasima.
Thana, 31, from Sikhiu region in Nakhon Ratchasima, had been working as a berry sorter near the Israeli-Lebanese borders for 11 months before his death.
His father, Charnchai Tichantuek, is mourning his decline, while his family, Jarung Tichantuek, said Thana had planned to return to Thailand in a month. She had urged him never to work in Israel, but he was determined, saying,” We could kill somewhere”.
However, the family residence of Kaweesak, 37, in Lam Thamenchai neighborhood, has become a centre of pain after receiving verification of the boy’s dying from the Thai consulate in Israel. His partner, Sumali Pimsri, 40, said his figure is expected to arrive in Thailand within a year.
In Buri Ram, Sulaporn Rungruang, Prayat’s girl, urged the government to quicken the relocation of his system and give compensation, as Prayat was the family’s main father. After two weeks in Thailand, Prayat, a local of the Krasang neighborhood, returned to Israel to fulfill his remaining employment contract.
Amnat Khemphet, a member of the Buri Ram Labour Office, said regulators, including authorities at Lamduan place, will coordinate with Israeli officials to practice payment requests and secure additional benefits for Prayat’s home.
Bangkok’s City Hall to enact new pet policy
Reduce to number of dogs, cat per household
PUBLISHED: 3 Nov 2024 at 09: 34
A new policy will be put in place by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) to limit the number of domesticated cats and dogs in the city.
Surachit Phongsinghvithya, chairman of the Bangkok Council, said on Saturday the government just approved an article to its rules on animal rights and release.
Chadchart Sittipunt, government of Bangkok, may receive the article for release in the Royal Gazette. The legislation does take influence 360 time after the announcement, he said.
Napapol Jirakul, a council member representing the Bangkok Noi region and the head of the special commission overseeing the change, claimed the change’s goal is to reduce annoyances, prevent disease, and maintain public health in Bangkok.
Bangkok may be designated to limit how many dogs and cats users can keep, according to their living space, he said.
The BMA will permit one or two animals for a property device or rental space of 20m2 to 80m2.
For houses or products larger than 80m²-200m², users can stay up to three dogs. Components with 200m²-400m² may include up to four dogs, while spaces larger than 400m² are allowed up to six dogs.
The rules even imposes specific limitations on certain canine species, including pit bull terriers, bull terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers, Rottweilers, and Fila Brasileiro. Users of these breeds may receive special authorization.
Additionally, it is against the law to raise dogs and cats on other people’s home or in public places without consent.
Also, each dog owner must include their dogs microchipped in line with Bangkok’s identifying criteria for pet possession.
The Public Health Act of 1992 and its modifications may punish those who violate the rules.
If their dog bites another individual or their dog, owners may be subject to up to one month in jail and fines of up to 10,000 baht. If a dog barks violently, causing a common problem, the user may experience a maximum sentence of one season’s imprisonment and a good of 10, 000 ringgit.
The BMA estimates that 198, 682 dogs and cats live in the capital, including 53, 991 owned puppies, 8, 945 stray dogs, 115, 821 owned cat, and 19, 925 stray animals.
To reduce the number of strays, the BMA’s Health Department runs a mobile animal system to deliver sterilization solutions for stray animals in each location. Aggressive puppies may get transported to the Prawet district’s Bangkok Dog Control and Shelter.
By implementing this rules, he said,” the problem of dogs and stray animals causing problems in Bangkok may be addressed, making the city safer for everyone and making pet owners more accountable for taking proper care of their pets.”
Activists plan to rally over Koh Kut island territory dispute
PUBLISHED: 3 Nov 2024 at 05: 38
Next week, activists are organizing rallies in Bangkok and Trat that will demand that the government understand its placement on the Thailand-Cambodge Koh Kut beach debate.
The Network of Students and People Reforming Thailand’s head, Pichit Chaimongkol, announced on Twitter that the team would hold a protest in front of Government House on Tuesday to protest any attempt to lose place to Cambodia.
We wo n’t lose Koh Kut, according to the Pheu Thai-led government. Can we consider them”? he wrote.
In order to inform the public about the Koh Kut dispute, Supitnattha Rangkatekaew, a part of the Vocational Student Group Protecting the Monarchy, said the group will keep a meeting on Saturday in front of the municipal house in Trat’s Muang area.
Phairat Soysang, the head of Koh Kut area, warned against presentations on the island itself, noting that protests had hurt hospitality, which is the region’s primary source of income.
He added that Koh Kut attracts more than 300,000 Thai and international visitors annually, bringing in many billion ringgit in revenue.
Tourism on the island is slowly recovering after the effects of the Covid-19 crisis, Mr Phairat said, stressing that Koh Kut belongs to Thailand under the 1907 French-Siamese agreement.
Koh Kut gained notoriety when Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ) leaders held a press conference on Wednesday to protest discussions regarding the joint development of oil and gas resources in the Gulf under the 2001 MoU framework, which they claim could lead to Thailand losing territory.
They stated that the PPRP may write to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra in an opened letter to urge her to block these discussions. The MoU was initially signed under her husband’s government, led by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Thirachai Phuvanatnaranubala, former finance minister and PPRP chair of an intellectual commission, argued the MoU includes a regional state by Cambodia that contradicts the 1907 French-Siamese agreement, rendering the MoU itself unlawful. The state asserts that no discussions have already begun.
Thailand’s state has assured Koh Kut that it will not fall to Cambodia. Phumtham Wechayachai, the government’s defense minister, declared that it would make every effort to protect Thai province.
Noppadon Pattama, a Pheu Thai Party listing MP, said the 2001 MoU, signed by then-foreign secretary Surakiart Sathirathai, established a model for negotiating sea places in the Gulf of Thailand claimed by both countries.
