Controversy Over Border Rejection of Somali RefugeesCSU suspects staged asylum case; Pro Asyl denies claims; Berlin court rules border rejection unlawful in June 2025 decision.
- The CSU parliamentary group accuses Pro Asyl of orchestrating support for three Somalis before their entry into Germany.
- The asylum case is described as 'absurd' due to inconsistent age claims and possession of new phones, suggesting possible staging by activists.
- Pro Asyl rejects the allegations, emphasizing its role in legally assisting refugees and denying any advice to discard documents.
- Berlin's administrative court ruled the refusal at the border unlawful and mandated that the asylum seekers cannot be sent back without determining the responsible EU country.
To me, this clearly has the hallmarks of a staging by asylum activists.— Alexander Hoffmann, head of the CSU parliamentary group, comments on the accusations against Pro Asyl and the case of the three Somali asylum seekers.

- Mohamed Aden Sheikh, a former health minister, reflected on Somalia's drastic decline following the fall of the socialist regime in the 1990s.
- The military takeover in 1969 initially sparked growth but quickly devolved into a brutal dictatorship, culminating in a protracted civil war.
- Somalia serves as a cautionary tale of how mismanaged power transitions can lead to chaos and ongoing instability when a dictator is deposed without viable alternatives.
- Siad Barre's authoritarian rule resulted in national ruin, leaving the country grappling with the consequences while hopes for democracy and unity remain unfulfilled.
When a Somali writes about what has been happening in his country since 1991, he can only do so with a heart full of sadness, anger, and even a bit of shame.— Mohamed Aden Sheikh reflects on the turmoil in Somalia in his memoir, expressing deep emotional pain over the state of his homeland.

- Alibaba, JD.com, and Meituan are aggressively expanding into instant retail, focusing on delivery times of 30 to 60 minutes.
- Intense competition compels these e-commerce giants to offer significant subsidies to attract consumers while vying for market share.
- JD.com and Alibaba have each pledged 10 billion yuan in subsidies to enhance their instant delivery services.
- The companies are leveraging their existing courier networks to operate efficiently in a highly competitive market.
In the past people would go to JD.com to buy a mobile phone and they would deliver to you in the same day, then suddenly they could go to Meituan and have the new Apple iPhone delivered within 30 minutes. That posed a direct threat to JD.com and they moved into food delivery in response.— Jason Yu, General Manager at CTR Market Research, explains the impact of competition in the food delivery sector.

- The U.S. government has ended duty-free access for low-value shipments from China and Hong Kong.
- U.S. Customs is prepared to enforce new tariffs on shipments under $800, while the shipping industry expresses concerns about potential delays.
- The new regulations require airlines and vessel operators to provide proof of import taxes before shipping goods from China.
- Some regulations have been relaxed, which might complicate package inspections, particularly for shipments containing potentially illegal items.
Without it being electronic or having an HTS code, the whole system that's used to inspect and to prioritize things that should be pulled for inspection doesn't work.— Lori Wallach, director of Rethink Trade, discussing the challenges of screening packages after the end of the de minimis exemption.
