On June 15th, Wang Sicong was publicized by Sun Yining. Yes, it was the woman who chose to make the public record after she was injured. This is also the official public call of the woman Wang Sicong, and she began to challenge Wang Sicong.

From the beginning everyone supported Wang Sicong’s hand hammering woman, and now the woman has publicly hammered Wang Sicong, this farce has become clearer.

After seeing the public chat records of the woman, everyone knew how Wang Sicong was actually hammered. This time I don’t know how President Wang came forward to speak, and how to respond to the woman’s chat records!

It’s reversed! Wang Sicong was recorded by Sun Yining’s chat, and the details of the understanding of both parties were made public!

Wang Sicong reversed very thoroughly this time. Why did he say that? Because the content of the chat can be said to tell everyone what kind of person Wang Sicong is in private. From realizing to chatting slowly, to how the woman reveals what kind of person Wang Sicong is, this process is wonderful.

Even the woman directly left a message with Wang Sicong in the end: I really haven’t seen anything so refined by you!

Looking at the details of the chat, Principal Wang said this: Let me love you well, okay? Let me live with you, OK?

The woman said not to refuse your pursuit. I am very grateful and honored, but I don’t understand it either.

Principal Queen Wang said that I have all the chat records, so wait for you to be hammered. The woman responded: Why bother, you are really a lunatic, you can expose it as you like. I’m already a stinky fish and shrimp, it doesn’t matter, you are really a crazy.

Later, Wang Sicong was scolded by the woman, and then directly said that you were on the hot search, don’t thank me. It can be seen that President Wang is really rich in financial resources. He said that he wanted to expose the woman, but the woman was really exploded.

But maybe he really forgot, just as the woman said, you are already 38 years old and so naive. Now it seems that Principal Wang really has a rhythm of ruining if you don’t get it this time. Since love can’t be achieved, then ruin her.

Now that the woman’s chat history was exposed, everyone was on the woman’s side this time, and started to complain, Wang Sicong finally overturned.

Netizens leave a message: I hope everyone can treat her well, eat melons rationally, and put an end to online violence. I really vomit when I encounter this kind of evil capitalism. I thought it would be great to have a little money, and the desire to control is too strong.

This is the real thing that will be destroyed if you don’t get it. The principal is really amazing.

Anthony and his wife invited 9 people to a luxurious gala dinner at their apartment. Snacks such as fruit jelly are contained in large syringes, while drinks are poured into boxes labeled Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson – 3 companies that provide Covid-19 vaccines, according to NY Post. “We waited too long to meet everyone. It’s time to have fun again,” Anthony said. The party was planned by celebrity event organizer Amanda Orso. Orso said she has coordinated similar events in other cities like Miami, Florida. “It’s not too ostentatious or cheesy, but elevated to a more elaborate party,” Orso said. Laurence Anthony’s party was nicely decorated. Photo: NY Post. Like Laurence Anthony, Karina Freedman (51 years old, from Manhasset, Long Island), owner of two skin care clinics, also plans a “vaccination party” for mid-May 2021. “Everyone can finally get together and celebrate. Surely everyone will be very happy,” Freedman shared. Freedman plans to give attendees gift bags containing healing crystals with the wishes “Be happy, stay healthy, good luck”. While many people hire event planning services to assist with planning, others only do small parties with relatives and friends. Leticia Rossi and Guilherme Baglioli (living in Austin, Texas) moved into a new home in January 2020. Due to the pandemic, the young couple could not hold a housewarming party. When their areas reopened from March 10 according to Governor Greg Abbott’s decision, Rossi and Baglioli joined a group of close friends for a dinner at home. All had previously been vaccinated. “We finally got to hug and talk to each other. It’s good that everyone is at peace,” Rossi wrote on his personal Instagram page. However, experts say that gathering and partying at this time is too early and risks a stronger outbreak. Although vaccination has been widely conducted and the number of new cases has decreased, the Covid-19 epidemic is still raging in many places across the United States, according to The Guardian. In early March 2021, despite criticism from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Alabama, Texas and Mississippi still decided to lift epidemic prevention restrictions, according to the CDC. BBC. Florida beaches are packed with people. Photo: Reuters. In Florida, many young people flock here to party and celebrate spring break when the state lifts anti-epidemic measures. Quite a few people said they were “not in the at-risk group”. Therefore, they are not concerned about Covid-19. And in Las Vegas, after a long closure, pool parties are “covering” again as more and more people are vaccinated. “Four months ago, Las Vegas was like a ghost city. Now pool party participants have to distance themselves. We are required to wear masks outside the pool area,” Alyssa Waggoner (25 years old) told Insiders.

Alyssa Waggoner (25 years old) always spends at least once a year to Las Vegas. Sharing with Insider, she said she loved this city for swimming parties at Circa Resort and Casino. Waggoner received a second shot of Covid-19 vaccine before the trip. “Four months ago, Las Vegas was like a ghost city. Now, pool party attendees have a gap. We are also asked to wear a mask outside the pool area,” she said. For just $ 20, visitors have 6 swimming pool options to play around throughout the day. In addition, you can also watch TV with a 12-meter screen on the top of the casino. “We rent a bed and enjoy the luxuries. Due to the epidemic, you have plenty of space to swim. It’s like our entire pool is ours,” Wagoner said. Pool parties require guests to book very early. It is like setting a table for New Year’s Eve. After the long delays, pool parties are “covering” Las Vegas again as more and more people are vaccinated. However, the Center for Disease Control still recommends not gathering people to avoid spreading the virus. Cynthia Cruz (third from left) with friends at the pool party at the MGM Grand Hotel. Everyone, except at the pool, must wear masks, Cruz said. “We mainly play in separate groups. However, people talk to other groups as well. We maintain a safe distance when interacting with outside groups,” she said. According to Cruz, the plague helps her enjoy parties more. “We can relax instead of feeling like a canned fish in the pool,” she said. Nicole Van Esch (left) had noisy moments at the Flamingo hotel. This hotel requires guests to wear a mask when inside. The pool area has been arranged reasonably spaced so it is not required. Pool parties have changed a lot since they were before Covid-19 came along. It wasn’t as vibrant as it used to be. However, most visitors accept this fact because it ensures their own safety.

Our reporter/Li Mingzi Du Wei “Zhang Yu, a medical oncologist at the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University, reflects on the shady tumor treatment by his real name” is still under investigation. Zhang Yu said in an article that Lu Wei, deputy chief physician of General Surgery, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, performed unnecessary NGS gene sequencing on patients, prescribed inappropriate chemotherapy drugs, and recommended ineffective, expensive, and illegal NK treatments (1) A series of behaviors such as cell immunotherapy), which caused the patient’s cost to increase tenfold but died earlier. Regarding several controversial issues during the diagnosis and treatment, Ma Rong, the eldest daughter of the deceased patient Ma Jincang, and the doctor Lu Wei were interviewed by China News Weekly. How to seek medical treatment for advanced gastric cancer that has metastasized? Ma Rong did not expect that the progress of medical treatment to Shanghai Xinhua Hospital would be so fast. On the afternoon of July 1, 2020, Ma Jincang, accompanied by his wife and daughter, flew from Qinghai to Shanghai. Earlier, Ma Rong only told him that there was a tumor in his stomach, and he did not explicitly say it was a “malignant tumor.” Ma Jincang’s attitude towards “seeking a doctor” was very complicated and he was instinctive to survive, but he was also worried about hearing “There is no other way.” “It’s best to go back to my hometown for chemotherapy”. On the one hand, Ma Rong encouraged his father to “visit relatives” because his sister Ma Jincang was treating stomach cancer at Xinhua Hospital. On the other hand, Ma Rong asked his aunt’s cousin to tell Ma Jincang’s condition to his aunt’s attending doctor Lu Wei, and Lu Wei listened to it. Later, he decided to let Ma Jincang come to the hospital for treatment the next day. At about 8:40 am on July 2nd, Ma Jincang walked into Xinhua Hospital. Ma Rong’s aunt (ie Ma Jincang’s sister) was discharged from the hospital on the same day. His father Ma Jincang was admitted to the hospital. He lived in the same bed as his aunt and was admitted to the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Xinhua Hospital. The tenth floor. Ma Jincang was diagnosed with gastric cancer a month ago. Ma Jincang, who almost never went to the hospital, was notified that he was in advanced gastric cancer the first time he was “hospitalized”. The diagnosis at the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University showed “gastric malignant tumor”, as well as secondary liver malignant tumors and lymphatic secondary tumors. Malignant tumors, hypertriglyceridemia, hydrocele, etc. Because there is already metastatic cancer, the gastroenterologist recommends that you don’t need surgery and go directly to the oncology department for chemotherapy. Ma Rong was worried that local hospitals had limited conditions and misdiagnosis. He entrusted him to seek medical treatment in a third-class hospital in Beijing. The PET-CT examination once again confirmed the previous diagnosis. At the time of the Beijing epidemic, doctors in Beijing advised them to “go back to their hometown for chemotherapy. The cost of treatment in Beijing is high, not to mention that the beds don’t have to wait until when.” Ma Jincang heard that chemotherapy is very painful and uncomfortable, so after returning to his hometown of Haidong City, Qinghai Province, he did not go to the hospital for conventional chemotherapy. Instead, with the help and recommendation of relatives and friends, he tried some folk remedies. They even drove more than 300 kilometers and spent 40,000 yuan to buy a “small party”, “it turned out to be fooled.”

Regarding the Ma family’s motives for seeking medical treatment, Ma Rong explained, “Whoever does not yearn for birth, as far as the daughter’s affection for his father is concerned, even if the doctor says that there is a genius doctor on Snow Lotus Mountain, as a family member of the patient, I will look for it.”

At this moment, Ma Rong’s cousin found a new way. At that time, cousin Ma Rong, on the recommendation of his classmates, visited Lu Wei’s special needs clinic through an online consultation platform. After a few days of treatment for the aunt who also suffered from stomach cancer, her mental state and appetite improved.

In this way, under the recommendation of his cousin, Ma Rong took his father on the road to seek medical treatment again.

Should I do NGS sequencing and what should I do?

It takes no more than 1 hour from Ma entering the warehouse to receiving NGS gene sequencing.

At about 8:40 in the morning on July 2, after Ma Rong and his mother arrived at the hospital with his father, Lu Wei called Ma Rong and her cousin to a conference room. Ma Rong recalled that at that time Lu Wei asked her: “Is there no other hospital? Accept?” Ma Rong nodded in response. Later, Lu Wei told her: Your father’s condition is very serious and it is impossible to cure it, but according to my plan, it is no problem to live for three years. Work hard to live to five or six years.

This is the first time Ma Rong has heard from a doctor how long his father can live since his father was diagnosed. At least there is a glimmer of hope. In the conference room, Lu Wei instructed Ma Rong to “have a checkup later, people have just contacted.”

Later, a person who called himself “Manager Wu” hurried over, called Ma Rong to the safety exit of the stairs, stood in front of the window and took out the POS machine, and brushed away Ma Rong 18,600 yuan. The swiping voucher shows that the time is 9:29 on July 2nd.

Ma Rong recalled that at that time, Lu Wei called the nurse to draw blood from his father, but no one was in charge. Only one trainee nurse helped to draw two tubes of blood, which was later packed in plastic bags by “Manager Wu”. Ma Rong didn’t understand why he needed an institution other than the hospital for testing and secretly traded. His cousin told Ma Rong: “My mom did the same at the time. The results will be available a week later.”

“At the time, I couldn’t even call the name of the genetic test. After the blood was drawn, I asked Dr. Lu Wei, and he told me that it was a genetic test to find chemotherapy drugs faster. At the time, I didn’t say that a puncture should be done, nor did he say. You can take the organization for testing, I think it can be done just by drawing blood.” Ma Rong said in an interview.

However, Lu Wei explained to China News Weekly that he informed patients of the pros and cons of choosing blood and organizing tests. Lu Wei explained that when the patient came, there were multiple liver metastases from gastric cancer, multiple lymph node metastases in the abdominal cavity, and a huge metastatic lesion on the left clavicle. After taking musk for a month, it should be because the tumor was not controlled. The abdominal pain was severe and the pain was grade 6-8. , Can not eat, affect sleep. Therefore, the patient is reluctant to do another gastroscopy biopsy, and he cannot force it. The reason why NGS sequencing is done is to avoid ineffective treatment. The principle of helping patients choose a genetic testing company, Lu Wei said, is that the report can be understood by patients, the genes tested are more complete, and the results are reliable, but the price is relatively low.

However, Zhang Yu said in an article published on Zhihu that the NGS results of blood draws have almost no reference value. According to the routine, it is more accurate to detect the pathological tissue slices of the gastroscope used in the diagnosis of patients. In an interview with other media, Zhang Yu also added that the current clinical work found that NGS sequencing is extremely inaccurate in sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs and can only be used to screen targeted drugs instead of chemotherapy drugs. At the same time, the accuracy of NGS is very related to the collection of materials, especially for gastric cancer. It is very irresponsible to use blood for NGS. In the NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network) gastric cancer clinical practice guidelines, this “liquid biopsy” is more used in patients whose disease has progressed and it is difficult to obtain tumor tissue samples. It is used in the CSCO (Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology) 2020 version of gastric cancer diagnosis and treatment. In the guidelines, it is listed as the third type of evidence, which is the lowest level of evidence.

The chief physician of the Department of Oncology of a third-class hospital in Beijing told China News Weekly that at present, it seems that NGS examinations are more suitable for patients with advanced stages. Of course, different tumor types have different requirements. For advanced patients, such as targeted therapy, there are mutation sites after tumor recurrence, and there are a few percent of genetic changes. Through testing, finding special drugs for the changed sites can sometimes have miraculous effects. Generally, when chemotherapeutic drugs are used in the clinic, we do not completely follow the NGS test results. NGS has relatively little reference significance, and there are more references to NGS for targeted drugs and immunotherapy.

NGS is usually detected by tissue or blood draw. “But sometimes, for example, after recurrence, the tissue is not available and it is not suitable for puncture. Then the blood is used to replace the tissue. Some tumors have been studied accordingly, and the consistency of blood and tissue in some tissues reaches 70%- 80%. When tissues cannot be taken, replacing tissues with blood NGS also has certain reference significance. I suggest that patients should be punctured. After the tissues are formed, blood will be drawn for testing at the same time, so that the accuracy rate will be higher.” The Chief Physician of the Department of Oncology of the Top 3 Hospital said.

Is there any recommendation for NK therapy?

“Whether to recommend/guide patients to adopt NK therapy” is the biggest controversy in this incident.

Lu Wei told China News Weekly that for NK therapy, “My family and I talked about the principle. They learned about it from other sources and then came to consult and decide. I didn’t take the initiative to introduce it, and they certainly did not only consult me. A person is indeed not recommended by me, and I did not stop it out of hope that my life can be effectively prolonged.”

But Ma Rong recalled, “When I heard it for the first time, I couldn’t remember the word NK. This was introduced to us by Dr. Lu Wei.” Ma Rong, who had already returned to work in his hometown on the morning of August 1, After receiving a WeChat call from Lu Wei, suggesting to give Ma Jincang “strengthen (treatment)”, Lu Wei said on the phone: “In the beginning, work hard and add a NK cell therapy. For him, recovery is better and easier. It produces results, especially when he has insufficient immunity and poor digestion of tumors.”

Before that, on the evening of July 29, Ma Rong’s mother asked her on WeChat, “I have a 30,000 yuan needle, do you want to get it?” Ma Rong felt that the cost was too high and did not agree.

However, Ma Rong insisted that the first time he heard “NK cell therapy”, it was Lu Wei who said that because he was worried that asking twice would make the doctor unhappy, so he recorded the sound and planned to listen carefully after hanging up. NK pin”. Ma Rong remembered that at the time, Lu Wei explained patiently on the phone, “Chemotherapy is a policeman, NK injection is a mercenary, and tumor is a thief. It is equivalent to the police and mercenary fighting the thief together.” Lu Wei also mentioned on the phone that his After a patient received NK injections, the lesions disappeared. “Lu Wei said that NK works well, but it is very expensive. It costs 50,000 yuan per injection. I sympathize with us from afar. It can be cheaper, but don’t say he introduced it. Yes. He said on the phone that he would send my cousin the contact information and address.” Ma Rong said.

After hanging up, Ma Rong received a document introducing NK treatment from Lu Wei, which included the name of the company “Shanghai Jiakang”. Ma Rong thought at the time, since the doctor recommended it, let his father try it. In an interview with “Medical Circle”, Lu Wei explained that before accepting Ma Jincang and his sister, he had received another pancreatic cancer patient. This patient had received NK treatment. After further treatment at Xinhua Hospital, the tumor The index dropped exponentially and was discharged smoothly. The company providing NK treatment is “Shanghai Jiakang”. The actual controller is Xu Yibing. Xu Yibing and him met at alumni gatherings. This pancreatic cancer patient had experience in the same ward with sister Ma Jincang during chemotherapy. “They learned about NK therapy during the chat, come and ask me.” Lu Wei said that he told Ma Jincang’s sister and son the principle, and told that this is not a standard treatment, and it is more expensive, it is only in the experimental stage, and may not be effective. Afterwards, Ma Jincang learned that NK treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer was free, so they asked them to help communicate and reduce the cost.

As for Lu Wei’s claim that he was once a related shareholder of a company related to “Shanghai Jiakang”, Lu Wei said that during the postdoctoral period, he and Xu Yibing’s company had CTC cooperative research. The transfer of 10,000 yuan, but this is a scientific research contract, not a share, as to why I became a shareholder, I don’t know.”

On August 3, Ma Rong’s cousin, mother and younger brother went to the “laboratory” where Dr. Lu suggested NK injections. On the same day, Ma Rong’s mother told her, “That place looks like a beauty salon.” At that time, NK injections were tested. The manager of the office also told Ma Rong’s mother that if the rich come here for injections, the wrinkles and spots on the face can be removed.

On August 10, Ma Jincang and his sister went to get the first injection of NK. With the help of Ma Rong’s cousin, the laboratory manager said that “you can buy 5 and get 1 free.” Ma Jincang and his sister each had 3 injections. Since then, Ma Jincang received the remaining two NK injections on the afternoon of August 27 and September 18.

On September 27, when Ma Jincang was undergoing a gastroscopy, a doctor sighed that “the stomach was so bad that it was so bad.” At that time, Lu Wei comforted Ma Rong as “nothing (more and more serious).” By October, Ma Jincang’s physical condition was getting worse and worse. Ma Rong couldn’t help but doubt the efficacy of the NK injection. He called Lu Wei again and asked why his aunt and father did not respond after the NK injection. “Lu Wei was angry at the time. He said that he hadn’t said that it was 100% effective. Only 70% was effective. Your dad might be the 30%. After that conversation ended unhappily, Lu Wei told my dad that your daughter didn’t Trust me.” Ma Rong recalled.

Does the surgeon plan the chemotherapy regimen?

In addition to the controversial drug selection and dosage of the second version of the chemotherapy regimen, whether surgeons can lead medical chemotherapy is also a focus of this incident.

On July 15 last year, Lu Wei told Ma Rong that because Ma Jincang was in hospital for too long, he had been complained and introduced them to a private hospital called Zhongda Cancer Hospital for the first chemotherapy. According to the information provided by Ma Rong, the chemotherapy drug at that time was oxalibo + fluorouracil.

According to Ma Rong’s recollection, after the “unpleasant call” in October last year, Lu Wei’s attitude became cold and he changed his father’s chemotherapy regimen at the same time. Starting from the fifth chemotherapy, the patient’s chemotherapy regimen changed to a combination of pemetrexed, anlotinib, oxaliplatin, capecitabine and tamoxifen. At the same time, Ma Jincang on October 3 ” “Intravenous chemotherapy drugs” still write “Lu Wei” in the column of the operating physician.

Regarding the reasons for the replacement of chemotherapy drugs, Lu Wei said: After adopting the first-line treatment plan, the patient’s first 2 cycles of treatment are effective in symptom control, and “you can eat and sleep.” But the blood AFP continues to rise to more than 10,000, and it may be more than 7,000 when it comes. Therefore, during the 2-3 cycle, it is recommended to evaluate with the family members, “The evaluation shows that the liver lesions are in a stable state, and the supraclavicular lymph nodes have disappeared. However, the patient’s symptoms reappear.” After discussing with the patient, the family members said that the patient was young and decided to adopt Individualized treatment plan. Moreover, the patient’s NGS results showed low sensitivity to paclitaxel and high side effects of irinotecan, and then recommended the above-mentioned second-line drugs, referring to the Chinese and English literature and drug principles of this disease. After this, Lu Wei was sent to Hainan without further follow-up treatment. “In fact, the family members only partially implemented this plan. They should have multiple consultations, but the follow-up did not go on.” Lu Wei said.

But Ma Rong did not agree with this statement. “My father took the chemotherapy drugs for a long time, and I bought anlotinib from outside after taking it. Up to now, there are only one or two of each drug left.” Ma Rong said.

It is worth pointing out that Lu Wei is not an oncologist, but a general surgeon. A medical oncologist at a top domestic oncology hospital said that such authorization is not allowed abroad, but in China, it is not uncommon for surgeons to perform medical treatments and perform tumor chemotherapy in surgery. Another doctor told China News Weekly that surgeons cannot lead internal medicine treatment plans. As doctors who traditionally dominate tumor treatment, it is understandable that surgeons habitually write some plans for reference. The final internal medicine plan should be decided by multidisciplinary consultation. .

In Ma Rong’s impression, his father’s chemotherapy regimen does not seem to have undergone “multidisciplinary discussion.” Ma Rong recalled that every time she went to Lu Wei’s office to consult her father’s condition, Lu Wei would ask her to wait until after get off work, or after other doctors had left, or she would go into the corridor and say, “I feel he is evasive. The doctor asked him those questions.” Ma Rong said.

Is it a good doctor or a bad doctor?

At the end of October last year, Ma Jincang, who had undergone NK injections and the second version of the chemotherapy regimen, was already thin to the point. At the time, Ma Jincang always said that the back spine hurts. Ma Rong didn’t know that it was cancer pain, or even that his father had bone metastases. Before that, every time he asked Lu Wei about the progress of his father’s condition, Lu Wei said, “Yes. very good”.

Unwilling to reconcile, Ma Rong asked for leave to accompany his father in Shanghai, and on November 1 he went to the clinic of a doctor surnamed Zheng in the Oncology Department of Xinhua Hospital. At that time, the other party had read all the treatment records and told Ma Rong that he and Dr. Lu were in the same hospital. It is hard to say much, but “this treatment is ridiculous.”

After that, Ma Jincang underwent another chemotherapy. Ma Rong had already returned to the Qinghai class. His mother was illiterate, and every time he accompanied his father to see a doctor, he had to ask people around. Ma Rong couldn’t bear the tossing of the old couple, and he also followed the doctor’s advice to “take the old man back to his hometown while he was alive.” On December 24, 2020, Ma Jincang passed away in the arms of his wife at home. In March of this year, sister Ma Jincang passed away.

After the death of the two elderly people, on April 9, 2021, Ma Jincang’s eldest son also wrote a thank-you letter to Lu Wei. The letter stated that during the entire treatment process, “Dr. Lu Wei was very concerned about the treatment of the two elders”, “After the treatment, my uncle’s stomach seldom hurts and the bulge on his neck disappeared.” But Dr. Lu Wei thinks He is in a special condition and the laboratory test results are not satisfactory.” So he adopted a special medication plan, and informed him about the dosage, side effects, and time of taking the medication. The letter also stated, “During the treatment, Dr. Lu Wei never tricked us into spending high prices on treatment, but instead helped us save money everywhere.”

But on the same day, Ma Rong reposted Zhang Yu’s latest article on his Weibo and wrote: “If this will worsen the doctor-patient relationship, then the people really deserve to be deceived, and the world is the power of the strong. The doctors in the big hospital expected that we were from the countryside, and there was no way to get him, so we asked us to get a 30,000 injection of cell needles, giving us hope at a time, letting us down again and again, until Dad was gone. If this is the case, go to death if you get sick in the future, because when you go to the hospital, you will also die.” On April 2 before this, Zhang Yu published an article criticizing Lu Wei for the first time. Regarding the thank-you letter, Ma Rong said, “I don’t know, I didn’t write it.”

“Is NK treatment legal? Will the NK injection be as effective as Dr. Lu Wei said? If it is illegal and ineffective, why do doctors in large hospitals say such things to patients? We only ran from Qinghai to Shanghai for treatment. I only hope that this matter can be investigated clearly. Don’t wrong a good doctor or let go of a bad doctor.” Ma Rong said in an interview that this is her. The final appeal.

Somali Government soldiers patrol the streets of Mogadishu. (Photo: AFP / VNA) Security Council United Nations On April 23, (UN Security Council) passed a statement calling on factions in Somalia to end the violence and immediately return to dialogue in the spirit of considering this as an urgent matter and not setting conditions. This move shows that the Security Council is very concerned about the crisis situation in Somalia. In the release released, members Security Council All expressed concern about the continued political stalemate here and disagreement among leaders of this country over the issue of electoral patterns. Before that, on March 31st, after the emergency meeting, the Security Council was call upon Somali government please resolve the issues related to the electoral process. The legitimate administration of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, more commonly known as Farmajo, has caused controversy since February when his term ended with a new presidential election still not being conducted. By early April, a bill to extend his presidency by two years was introduced, bypassing the Senate after it was passed by the House of Representatives. Government opposition parties have voiced their opposition because it is an unconstitutional act to cling to power and the bill itself has been criticized by the international community. Somalia’s president and leaders of the five semi-autonomous states in the country last September reached an agreement that paved the way for presidential and parliamentary elections in late 2020 and early 2021 but This plan was broken by controversy surrounding the voting process and since then many rounds of negotiations have not been held to resolve this deadlock issue.

A view of the JCPOA Joint Committee meeting on April 6, in Vienna, Austria. Photo: Reuters

According to JCPOA regulations, Iran’s uranium enrichment level is at 3.67% and must not be stockpiled more than 300kg of raw materials. However, Iran has now enriched uranium by up to 20%, even claiming to be able to enrich as much as 90%. Iran’s enrichment of uranium to the point of making nuclear weapons has left powers like “sitting on a fire pan.”

Talks in Vienna, Austria, began last week in an effort to bring the U.S. and Iran back to the JCPOA. In 2018, the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the agreement. Now, more than two months after taking the leadership of the United States, President Joe Biden is making a “reversal” of his predecessor’s policy to “revive” the JCPOA.

International experts see the fact that the negotiators “revived” the JCPOA is a very positive signal, but in reality, the process is not easy with many obstacles. The negotiations will have a very complex scenario and developments, most evident in the form of negotiations when the U.S. and Iran do not directly have dialogue with each other.

The negotiation is carried out in the form of individual dialogue between the parties and communication through intermediaries. All JCPOA participants agreed to form 2 Working Groups. The first group will look at how the U.S. returns to the JCPOA by lifting sanctions on Iran. The second group will study how Iran will return to JCPOA compliance.

Analysts point out that the process of negotiating the JCPOA “revived” obstacles with 3 main issues. First of all is assurances about Iran’s shrinking of its nuclear program in accordance with the JCPOA, while specifically determining what sanctions the U.S. will lift on Iran. While Iran wants to lift most sanctions in exchange for its compliance with the JCPOA, the U.S. is only considering lifting sanctions related to the Iran nuclear issue.

President Biden’s administration insists the U.S. is willing to rescind sanctions on Iran that are believed to be inconsistent with the JCPOA but also stressed that the U.S. expects compliance with the deal on the part of Iran.

However, the Iranian side is unlikely to reverse its steps until U.S. sanctions are lifted. This is considered the second largest “barrier”. Namely, the order in which the U.S. lifted sanctions on Iran first and then Iran complied with the JCPOA again, or Iran complied with the JCPOA first before the U.S. lifted the sanctions. Although the process of “reviving” the JCPOA has shown very positive signs, the level of tension is still very high when the US and Iran will probably not give in to each other.

The third obstacle that is analyzed by experts is the schedule of negotiations. In June, Iran will enter the election of a new President and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will not be re-elected due to the end of his second consecutive term. Many are concerned that the successor to the President of Iran may not take the JCPOA as seriously as Mr. Hassan Rouhani. So if the process of “reviving” the JCPOA is not achieved in his final days in office, it is very likely that the new administration will not negotiate with the US on the deal.

According to experts, Iran’s confidence in the JCPOA has been “eroded.” It would be unacceptable for the U.S. to cancel the deal and now return without “paying the price” for its actions. Especially with 3 obstacles in the process of “reviving” in which analysts point out, to achieve this goal will surely need to make breakthroughs in the short period between now and before the Iranian elections in June. In a scenario where the JCPOA is indeed “collapsing,” experts believe, the parties will proceed with a new international agreement or treaty to replace the JCPOA.
