[SUDANTRIBUNE] A Rapid Support Forces (RSF) unit assassinated journalist Muawiya Abdel Razzaq and three of his family members late Tuesday night at their home in the al-Droshab suburb, north of Khartoum Bahri (North).
Since the war began between the army and the RSF on April 15, 2023, numerous journalists have faced widespread violations from both sides, including arrest, killing, and looting, with the paramilitary forces being responsible for the majority of these abuses.
The Journalists’ Syndicate recorded 393 direct violations against journalists and media outlets, mostly occurring due to their work or affiliation with the profession. These violations included murder, physical assault, kidnapping, and detention, with at least one female journalist experiencing sexual violence, according to the union.
Hussein Mirghani, a resident of the al-Droshab, stated on Facebook, "In a crime that adds to the record of the criminal militia, four young men from southern al-Droshab were executed inside their home late last night: Tarek Yaqub, Murtada Captain, Ali Turki, and journalist Muawiya Abdel Razzaq."
He added that the victims had remained in the area since the outbreak of the war and had not left.
The Journalists’ Syndicate mourned journalist Abdel Razzaq, stating that he was killed by RSF’s gunfire along with three of his family members. The union strongly condemned the incident, calling on the RSF to immediately investigate this crime and bring the perpetrators to justice.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] Clashes reignited in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, on Wednesday, causing civilian casualties. Simultaneously, the Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... ese army conducted an airdrop of military equipment to fortify the city’s defences against the besieging Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The largest city in the Darfur region, El Fasher has endured over three weeks of intense fighting between the Sudanese army, allied armed movements, and the RSF. These festivities have resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries, along with widespread infrastructural damage.
In response, the Sudanese army’s air force executed an airdrop on Wednesday to reinforce the 6th Infantry Division, providing them with military equipment to strengthen their position against the RSF.
Meanwhile,
...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter wished he had thought to pack sun block... intermittent festivities using heavy weaponry resumed between the army, its allied armed movements, and the RSF within the city.
The joint force of the armed struggle movements, fighting alongside the Sudanese army, stated that they pursued RSF forces on the northern axis of El Fasher Wednesday morning. They released video footage showing their forces and army forces in the main market, denying RSF claims of reaching the market area or the western part of the city.
In retaliation, the RSF launched heavy artillery shelling on the southern side of El Fasher.

[AFRICANEWS] At least 100 people were killed, and dozens were maimed after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces attacked a village in Gezira province in Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... on Wednesday, officials said.
Women, children, and elderly were among the victims in the attacks by the Rapid Support Forces on Wad al-Noura village in Gezira, Mini Arko Minawi, the governor of Darfur province, said on X, formerly Twitter.
A grassroots group set up to protect residents in Wad Madani, the capital city of Gezira, said late Wednesday on social media that the paramilitary force, which has been fighting the Sudanese army for over a year, used heavy artillery to besiege and attack the village.
The Madani Resistance® Committee, which has been threatened and attacked by the RSF in the past, accused the paramilitaries of looting Wad al-Noura in the midst of the attacks which it said started Wednesday morning.
The RSF claimed in December that it had seized control of Wad Madani, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, and a haven for hundreds of thousands of people displaced by fighting.
The resistance committee said the RSF invaded the village, displacing residents, including women and kiddies, to other parts of the district of al-Manaqil.
The Sudanese transitional government in a statement on its Telegram channel condemned the attacks and called for the international community to hold the RSF accountable.
"These are criminal acts that reflect the systematic behavior of these (RSF) militias in targeting civilians, plundering their property, and forcibly displacing them from their areas," said the media office for the Transitional Sovereignty Council, which was set up after the ouster of longtime president Omar al-Bashir ...Former President-for-Life of Sudan He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself head cheese. He fell out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Hee was overthrown by popular consent in 2019. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it... in 2019.

[SHABELLEMEDIA] In a significant move aimed at curbing the rising incidents of Dire Revenge killings in central Somalia, a military court in Galmudug ...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth... State executed three men in a public square in Dhusamareb town on Thursday.
The execution comes after the court found the three men guilty of murdering Dr. Ahmed Hassan Osman and his younger brother, Koran teacher Liban Hassan Osman, in the Ilix area of the Galgadud region in December 2023.
The three executed men, Nur Abdi Mohammed, Shucaib Mohammed Farah, and Bile Abdullahi Hassan, were sentenced to death on February 27 this year after being found guilty of the crime.
The court determined that they had deliberately killed the two brothers, prompting their execution as a measure to address the increasing incidents of Dire Revenge killings in the region.
The execution of the three men has been met with mixed reactions, with some members of the community expressing support for the move as a necessary step to maintain law and order, while others have raised concerns about the use of the death penalty and the need for a more comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of such violence.
The Somali government, through its military court system, has been actively working to address the issue of Dire Revenge killings, which have been on the rise in central Somalia in recent months.
Allah is not likely to intervene at this point, but perhaps President Biden will do more than talk out of both sides of his mouth…
[GEO.TV] The leader of Hamas said on Wednesday the group would demand a permanent end to the war in Gaza and Israeli withdrawal as part of a ceasefire plan, dealing an apparent blow to a truce proposal touted last week by US President Joe Biden.
Israel, meanwhile, said there would be no halt to fighting during ceasefire talks, and launched a new assault on a central section of the Gaza Strip near the last city yet to be stormed by its tanks.
The remarks by Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh are apparently made in response to the Biden’s truce proposal. Washington had said it was waiting to hear an answer from Hamas to what Biden described as an Israeli initiative.
[GEO.TV] The Israeli military said Thursday that a soldier had been killed in the north where troops are engaged in near-daily border clashes with Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
The soldier "fell fighting in the north" on Wednesday, the military said in a statement, after two explosive drones were launched from Lebanon against the Israeli town of Hurfeish.
The army did not specify the exact location of the death of the soldier, whom it identified on its website as Staff Sergeant Refael Kauders, aged 39.
[GEO.TV] Israeli forces have killed two Palestinians in the occupied West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp, said the Palestinian health ministry and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
Earlier the PRCS said that during their storming of the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, eight Palestinians were injured by Israeli forces’ bullets, reported Al Jazeera.

[NYPOST] Israeli troops discovered an entrance to a Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... tunnel inside a child’s bedroom in Rafah on Thursday.
The IDF says it recovered a trove of weapons and explosives from the tunnel. The operation is the latest of what Israel calls its "precise, intelligence-based, targeted operations" inside Rafah.
"This week, the troops located a tunnel shaft inside a child’s room, and a butcher’s knife next to it. In addition, the troops identified six Lions of Islam near a school in the area of the troops. The Lions of Islam were eliminated by a UAV and tank fire," the IDF said in a statement.
Images released by the IDF show troops operating in the dense urban environment of Rafah. Images also show the cache of weapons, explosives and other equipment troops retrieved during the operation.
News of the operation comes the same day an Israeli strike took out Hamas and Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... Lions of Islam hiding at a United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... school for displaced Paleostinians in central Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... . Local officials say that the strike killed more than 30 people, including 23 women and kiddies.
Israel said it was targeting a Hamas compound inside the school containing 20 to 30 fighters and that many of them had been killed.

[An Nahar] Hezbollah is "dealing seriously with the threats that are being launched by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war team," a prominent Shiite Duo source said.
Hezbollah "will not stand idly by and has declared general mobilization among its fighters, who are now fully prepared to confront the Israeli threats, although it does not want war and is not seeking it," the source told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.
The source also noted that "Hezbollah’s strikes deep in Israel come in response to Tel Aviv’s targeting of areas in the depth of northern and western Bekaa."
"This what Hezbollah has said to top Lebanese state officials and the UNIFIL forces," the source added.
Good luck, guys. Seriously, may your end be swift and relatively painless, so that you don’t die tired.
