I wasn't able to access the article's actual content — the text provided is just the site's "access denied / JavaScript disabled" page, not the story itself, and my attempt to fetch the live page via WebFetch was not granted permission.

Could you either:
1. Paste the article text directly, or
2. Grant permission for WebFetch so I can retrieve it myself?

Without the real content I can't produce an accurate, neutral summary — I'd only be guessing at details like Mamdani's specific quotes, the timeline, or the reasoning he gave.
