[SUDANTRIBUNE] Foreign Minister Ali Sadiq has refuted reports suggesting an imminent cessation of hostilities agreement brokered by American and Saudi mediators between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Unconfirmed reports had emerged about a potential agreement following the resumption of talks in Jeddah between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary RSF.
Speaking to the official news agency (SUNA) on Friday, Sadiq clarified that the reports regarding the possibility of a truce in Jeddah are "inaccurate and do not represent the current situation".
"In reality, the indirect negotiations have not yet resumed in earnest, and any acceptance of a truce is contingent upon the rebels’ commitment to evacuating public facilities, vacating citizens’ homes, and ceasing activities such as looting, road blockades, and disruptions to people’s lives," he said.
Following the outbreak of the war in Khartoum, RSF elements have been deployed in residential areas, where they forcibly evicted civilians from their homes, looted their belongings and vehicles, and targeted banks and markets.
While the RSF had previously agreed to withdraw troops from the neighbourhoods, they failed to fulfil this commitment.

[Regnum] Members of the right-wing extremist group "Danish Patriots" held a rally outside the Iraqi embassy in Copenhagen on July 22, which included burning a copy of the Koran and desecrating the national flag of Iraq. The action was broadcast on the group's pages in social networks.
No more than five people took part in the action, judging by the frames of the broadcast.
Earlier, permission to hold a rally with the burning of the Koran at the Iraqi embassy in Stockholm was issued by the Swedish authorities. As a result, the protesters did not burn a copy of the sacred book for Muslims, but trampled it.
Another such action was held in Stockholm a month earlier, in June 2023. Attempts by extremists to carry out such actions and their approval by the Swedish authorities caused condemnation from a number of Arab countries, including Turkey and Egypt. In Baghdad, a mass protest rally was held near the building of the Swedish embassy. The protesters stormed the building. The Prime Minister of Iraq announced the expulsion of the Ambassador of Sweden.
The problem is that whole families of migrants move to Europe, including illegally, and there are clashes between ethnic Europeans and newcomers, and against this background, radicals organize provocations, Boris Dolgov, a senior researcher at the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ph.D. in History, noted earlier in an interview with IA Regnum. The Swedish authorities should have fought their radicals, but they are surprisingly indifferent to what is happening, the expert noted.
The Swedish authorities should also have fought those families of migrants which are not inclined to adopt Swedish ways, instead viewing thenmselves as conquering colonizers. Had they done so, there would have been no reason for the ethnic Europeans to protest.
As Jewish as Senator Elizabeth Warren is Native American.
[IsraelTimes] Fabian Wolff, who campaigns in support of BDS, says he’s not actually Jewish after embracing the identity based on a hint from his mother.
He was celebrated on the left as a prominent Jewish critic of Israel. But the German journalist and teacher Fabian Wolff has revealed that he is not Jewish after all, sparking criticism of the way he framed his political positions.
In other words, he is merely a plain vanilla Jew-hater instead of a self-hating Jewish tool of the PLO in another tentacle of their war against the existence of the Jewish state.
In a personal essay published on Sunday in Zeit Online, Wolff said that he had not known the truth himself until recently. He had written columns for the Juedische Allgemeine, Germany’s leading Jewish newspaper, for years.
Wolff, 33, explained in the essay titled "My Life as a Son" that his mother had once hinted that her maternal great-grandmother had been an Orthodox Jew. Based on this story, Wolff had embraced a Jewish identity and underwent a circumcision, he wrote.
It takes more than a small snip and an announcement, idiot. Being of Jewish descent is easy — probably half of Europe has as much Jewish DNA after over 2,000 years of residence — but actually being Jewish according to Jewish law requires a direct line of descent of mothers who had not converted to any other religion. A single great-grandparent might satisfy Hitler and other one drop of blood racists, but not the Orthodox Jewish rabbis who make the judgements in Germany, who would have required him to formally convert in order to legitimately claim the label. The snip happens last, not first.
But his mother, who died in 2017, had been mistaken.
"I will not speak from the position of a Jew in Germany, because I cannot and I am not," he wrote.
Wolff has been known for his support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel and his rejection of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism, which covers some forms of Israel criticism. He had, critics say, used his supposed Jewish identity as a shield against backlash from Jewish community organizations.
Indeed.
A few years ago, after Wolff signed an open letter in support of a German-Paleostinian journalist, he learned that someone had warned other signatories and members of the Jewish community that he was not Jewish, "based on private information," Wolff wrote. He said he took a step back from expressing his Jewish identity publicly and stopped taking writing assignments "if I had the feeling I was being asked first and foremost as a Jew."
It’s the only product he had to sell, so no wonder they bought it.
A long search through many archives led him to the conclusion that there was no truth to his mother’s story about having Jewish roots.
"In journalistic circles, the question was not when Fabian Wolff’s costume Judaism would be exposed, but only who would make it public first," wrote journalist Philipp Peyman Engel of the Juedische Allgemeine. "Because in September 2021, some journalists in Berlin received detailed research into the extent to which Wolff’s Jewish biography was made up from start to finish."
The episode spurred debate online about Wolff’s political stances. The fact that Wolff is not Jewish "does not change anything about his justified and important criticism of Germany and Israel," wrote one Facebook friend. Another answered: But "the man lied, faked a family history and made a career with it."
So when is he going to return the profits he stole from a genuine Jewish Israel-hater through his pretense? This kind of thing goes far beyond playing dress-up in another identity, after all.
In 2019, a German historian and blogger named Marie Sophie Hingst died by suicide after it was revealed that she had falsely claimed to be descended from Holocaust survivors.
Easier than actually apologizing for the lie, apparently.
[Nat'l Pulse, ht Insty] ’Mohammed’ was overwhelmingly the most common name among those arrested during the recent French riots, reports the French newspaper L’Opinion, which analyzed a sample of the most common monikers amongst over 2,000 arrested throughout the uprisings in late June.
Mohammed appeared 81 times in a sample of 335 arrests, 50 times more than second place Yanis —another name with Arab origins — which appeared 31 times. In fact, several Arab names were prevalent among the random sample of 335, with Yacin appearing 11 times, Ali appearing 13, and Ibrahim at 10.
The names were revealed after the French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin argued that many of the names arrested were more typical French names, including Kevin and Matteo. Yet, neither features prominently in the list revealed by L’Opinion.
"No one can ignore reality anymore... in spite of everything, most of the political class wants to believe that it is a social crisis when the root cause is obvious: immigration," asserts the former French presidential candidate, Eric Zemmour.
The riots in France were recently compared to the French Revolution of 1789 in terms of scale and destruction by the former French spy chief, Pierre Brochand.

[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah hailed the protests and sit-ins which were held in support of Holy Koran against the crimes of desecration.
Delivering a speech during the commemoration of the fifth night of Ashura ceremonies in the southern suburb of Beirut on Sarurday, Sayyed Nasrallah underlined the diplomatic measures taken by Iraq and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... against Sweden in this regard.
Sayyed Nasrallah also called for escalating the counter measures and cutting the diplomatic as well as economic ties with Sweden, adding that the Swedish apologies are not enough.
Hezbollah leader also warned Sweden that pursuing this escalation will be classified as a war declaration against Islam, calling on the Sweden officials to consider the remarks of the Supreme Fearless Leader of the Islamic Revolution ...Iran's doddering head theocrat... in Iran Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini... in this regard.
US MORAL SCHEMES
Hezbollah Secretary General indicated that the United States has started a long-term scheme to pervade homosexuality across the world, adding that the Western societies will pay the heaviest price and collapse.
Sayyed Nasrallah underscored the importance of coping with this scheme, noting that the Arab societies possess moral immunity to face the phenomenon which contradicts with the laws of nature.
Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that Ashira Revolution was aimed at promoting virtues and banning vices, adding that marriage and sustaining the personal faith help the Moslems to face the moral challenges.

That's what you get for living next to a Moslem ruled country like Pakistan.
Given reports that ISIS wives were forcing one another’s sons to impregnate them to create the next generation of Lion Cubs, separation seems a kindness rather than otherwise.
[AlAhram] Adolescent boys are systematically being separated from their mothers in detention camps in northeast Syria, a UN expert said, warning the practice was causing irreparable harm and violated international law.
Fionnuala Ni Aolain said that during a visit to the Kurdish-controlled camps, she had noted "the separation of hundreds of adolescent boys from their mothers without any legal procedure".
This appeared in particular to be happening to so-called third-country nationals, from countries other than Syria and Iraq.
This is "summary separation based on an unproven security risk that male children pose upon reaching the age of adolescence," she told journalists in Geneva after a five-day visit to Syria.
"Every single boy child I met was clearly traumatised by the separation from their mothers," she said, adding that she had seen separated boys as young as 11.
"This systematic practice of enforced separation ... is in clear violation of international law".
Ni Aolain, the special rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... while countering terrorism, is the first United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... rights expert to have gained access to detention camps and prisons in the northeast.
'CRADLE TO GRAVE DETENTION'
An estimated 52,000 people from 57 countries are reportedly being held in the squalid and overcrowded al-Hol and al-Roj detention camps for jihadists and their family members in Kurdish-administered territory.
Sixty percent are children, mostly under the age of 12, said Ni Aolain.
She acknowledged the intense political and security complexity of the situation.
But that in no way justified "the mass indefinite and arbitrary detention of children, particularly boys, in various types of facilities", she added.
Their repatriation needed to happen "urgently", she insisted, stressing that besides the US-backed local authorities, the home countries also bore responsibility for these rights violations.
Western governments have faced mounting criticism for not taking back more of their citizens who travelled to Iraq and Syria to volunteer for the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... jihadist group.
Ni Aolain acknowledged that there had been "some positive movement on repatriation" -- with numbers having come down from a high of over 70,000.
But she warned that at the current rate, "these facilities will on average, at a minimum, stay in business for 20 years".
The very painful lesson being don’t join the jihad — jihad is for losers.
"Think about that for a two-year-old who is currently living in this facility."
"There appears to be no understanding that it is an absolute contravention of international law to detain children in what appears to be an unending cycle of cradle-to-grave detention," she lamented.
'EXTREME ANXIETY'
Ni Aolain was able to visit and conduct interviews in both camps, although not in the al-Hol annex, which holds around 10,000 third-country nationals.
She called for broader access.
"We cannot hold 10,000 people in a box where no one sees what happens to them and their children," she said.
The security rationale for these separations did not hold up, she said, pointing out that grown men were allowed to remain in the general camp population.
At the same time, she said she had seen many young boys in adult male prisons she had visited.
And while repatriations have picked up, countries are generally only taking back women and kiddies, meaning that as these boys age, there will likely be nowhere for them to go.
"That means you're condemning the boy child in this facility to a life of imprisonment," she said.
The Syrian pound's value continues to drop against the US dollar across #Syria, as it has exceeded 12,000 SYP for each US dollar.https://t.co/JuSkiUz8zN
