Well this verdict is certainly predictable yes.
Ecuador would like Julian Assange out of their embassy by the sounds of it.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
I think one of the conditions the septics had to give was that he wouldn’t do his time in a Supermax. Of course if they change their mind what are we going to do? Send a gun boat up the Potomac?

That would be hilarious, and probably do more damage to his legacy than any prison time. Guilty: a proportionate sentence for what you’ve done is : 60 hours community service…
Maximum penalty for espionage is the death penalty. Although I guess that’s ruled out as part of the extradition arrangements.

U.K.'s top court denies Julian Assange permission to appeal extradition to U.S.
Assange has sought for years to avoid a trial in the U.S. on a series of charges related to WikiLeaks’ publication of a huge trove of classified documents more than a decade ago.

ive not followed the latest - is he still under threat to be extradited to the USA?
presumably there is evidence to back up this CIA assassination plot - imagine that might help his case somewhat

fun fact: Latin orthography was only adopted for the Somali language in 1972. Prior to this Arabic writing was widely used but no writing style had been officially settled on. Hence there are strong similarities between written Maltese and Somali.

From the BBC via google translate:
The CIA has planned to kidnap the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, according to former intelligence officials.
The officials told the investigative program Yahoo News that CIA officials also discussed deporting the man, but there were concerns about how the law would fit an act of murder.
A senior official in the Donald Trump administration has discussed concerns about the move, according to the officials.
This news in the past 24 hours has been widely discussed by most of the media in Western countries, including the New York Times.
Yahoo first released the news on Sunday afternoon.
According to Yahoo's report, this was proposed by the director of the CIA at the time, Mike Pompeo, who later became the Secretary of State of the Donald Trump administration.
Some officials were very concerned, even feeling compelled to inform members of the US House of Representatives.
More than 30 former officials have been quoted in this latest report showing attempts to kidnap or kill Assange.

im sure the twitter thing i read said assassinate not kidnap - may have been hyperbole
eta; "This led to senior officials of the agency requesting "leave" to kill Assange, according to the investigation results."

That story's from two years ago and was widely reported at the time - did BBC Somali have something newer?
