[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.
[IsraelTimes] Erdan opposes changes to wording in US initiative; pushback sure to irk Washington but unlikely to impact outcome given that Israel not a member of top panel
Ambassador to the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Gilad Erdan informed his US counterpart Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Thursday that Jerusalem opposes the Security Council resolution being advanced by the Biden administration that expresses support for the hostage-ceasefire proposal Israel made last week.
The opposition is not expected to influence the vote that could take place as early as Monday, given that Israel is not a member of the Security Council. However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... the resistance from Jerusalem is likely to irk Washington, given that the latter has repeatedly blocked initiatives at the Security Council deemed hostile to the Jewish state.
More substantial pushback could still come from permanent Security Council members Russia and China, which have been known to veto US resolutions, including ones pertaining to the Israel-Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... war.
Explaining Erdan’s opposition, an official in the Israeli mission pointed out that an updated version of the resolution refers to the hostage deal as one that will bring about a "ceasefire," as opposed to the original draft that described the end goal as a "cessation of hostilities, which Israel reads as less permanent in nature.
Israel also objects to the updated draft’s call for both sides to fully implement the latest hostage deal proposal. The earlier version only called on Hamas to accept the proposal. The updated draft does the same, but also notes that the latest hostage deal proposal is "acceptable to Israel."
The Israeli mission also does not like the updated version’s inclusion of the three phases of the hostage deal — steps that were already publicly laid out by US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.... last week.
Finally, the Israeli mission opposes a new clause in the draft that "rejects any attempt at demographic or territorial change in the 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... Strip, including actions that reduce the territory of Gaza, such as through the permanent establishment officially or unofficially of so-called buffer zones."
Israel has already advanced plans to create a security buffer zone on the Gaza side of the border, which some of its officials have insisted is temporary, a plan that has been condemned by the US and the international community.
The US resolution also expresses "unwavering commitment to achieving the vision of a negotiated two-State solution... consistent with international law and relevant UN resolutions, and in this regard stresses the importance of unifying the Gaza Strip with the West Bank under the Paleostinian Authority." The two-state framework is rejected by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, which has also worked to weaken the PA, likening the governing body to Hamas. However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... the Israeli official did not include this clause in the list of reasons for why Jerusalem opposes the resolution.
LAYING OUT THE ISRAELI PROPOSAL
The US drafted its resolution earlier this week, seeking to rally international support for the Israeli proposal submitted to Hamas last Thursday.
Convinced time is running out to secure a hostage deal and not wanting to go through the same motions in negotiations that have repeatedly ended in deadlock over the past six months, Biden chose a different strategy on Friday, giving a high-stakes speech in which he revealed key details of the Israeli proposal and called on Hamas to accept it.
The speech was aimed at forcing Netanyahu to stand behind the proposal submitted by his negotiating team.
The speech was aimed at forcing Netanyahu to stand behind the proposal submitted by his negotiating team. The premier authorized the offer but had avoided going public with its exact details, fearing backlash from his far-right coalition partners. Those fears were warranted, as National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have indeed gone on to threaten to topple the government if Netanyahu moves forward with the deal.
The move by Biden also placed the ball in Hamas’s court, as Washington has repeatedly highlighted that the Israeli offer is nearly identical to the one made by Hamas in the last round of negotiations.
The three-staged Israeli proposal envisions a first phase truce lasting six weeks during which the remaining living female, elderly and sick Israeli hostages are freed along with a number of bodies of those kidnapped on October 7. In exchange, Israel will release hundreds of Paleostinian security prisoners; withdraw the IDF from Gaza population centers; allow the unrestricted return of Paleostinians to all areas of the Strip; and facilitate the daily entry of 600 trucks of humanitarian aid into the enclave.
The main point of contention in previous rounds has been Israel’s insistence on being able to resume the fighting after hostages are released and Hamas’s refusal to free those it kidnapped unless Israel commits up front to a permanent ceasefire.
In an attempt to bridge this divide, clause 14 of the Israeli proposal states that during the first phase, the parties will launch talks on the terms of phase two — a permanent ceasefire — that they will aim to conclude by the end of the fifth week of the initial truce.
If the sides don’t succeed in reaching an agreement within that allotted time, the phase one ceasefire can be extended indefinitely, so long as the talks on the terms of phase two continue.
However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... if Hamas is found to violate its commitments under the deal, Israel can resume fighting.
If agreements are reached in the phase one talks, a six-week phase two can commence, during which Hamas will release the remaining living Israeli hostages, including young men and male soldiers. In exchange, Israel will release an agreed-upon number of Paleostinian security prisoners — likely an even higher number than those released in phase one, including some of the most notorious terror convicts — in addition to the IDF withdrawing completely from Gaza.
During the six-week phase three, Hamas will release the remaining bodies of hostages it is still holding while Israel will allow the commencement of an internationally backed Gaza reconstruction plan.
The US says that Israel has continued to stand by the plan, though Netanyahu has complicated talks by insisting that the proposal allows for Israel to complete its war aim of dismantling Hamas.
The comments have reportedly led Hamas officials to demand more ironclad assurances from the mediators that the deal will indeed lead to a permanent ceasefire, indicating that clause 14 is insufficient.
Hamas leaders could theoretically agree to go into exile during those phase one negotiations, rather than risk being killed on the battlefield. But the possibility appears to be less likely given the ideological nature of its leader Yahya Sinwar and the fact that he and his deputy Mohammed Dief have managed to evade capture for the past eight months.
The US has insisted the hostage deal proposal will help ensure Hamas is removed from power but has offered limited details about how that comes about if the terror group is the one making the agreement with Israel.
US officials speaking to The Times of Israel last month sought to differentiate between Israel’s goal of dismantling Hamas and what it views as a more realistic aim of dismantling the "threat of Hamas."
Biden argued that Israel has already done the latter and that Hamas is no longer able to carry out another October 7 attack during which some 1,200 Israelis were slaughtered and another 251 were taken hostage. 121 of those abductees remain in Gaza.
"Indefinite war in pursuit of an unidentified notion of ’total victory’ will only bog down Israel in Gaza, draining military, economic and human resources and further Israel’s isolation in the world," Biden said in his speech last week, making a direct attack on Netanyahu, who has repeatedly vowed to achieve "total victory" in Gaza.
US officials asserted to The Times of Israel last month that while the hostage deal it is advancing may allow Hamas to limp on in some form, the broader diplomatic initiative Washington is pushing would see the terror group marginalized in Gaza by alternative forces backed by America’s Arab allies.
Netanyahu has indicated that he opposes this approach, and while Arab officials insist Hamas will be willing to step away from the management of Gaza after the war, the terror group has yet to publicly express such a desire.
In the meantime, the US is aiming to first convince the sides to agree to begin implementing phase one of the deal, hoping that will provide enough momentum for the truce to be turned into a permanent ceasefire.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 36,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far. The toll, which cannot be verified, includes some 15,000 terror operatives Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 bandidosfaceless myrmidons inside Israel on October 7.
[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.

"Sadly, we saw some media outlets fall for Hamas’s tactics yet again before checking the facts," IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said during a presser in which he revealed the identities of nine terror operatives killed in the attack.
Those targeted were members of Hamas’s elite Nukhba force and of the Paleostinian 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... terror group who "directed terror attacks from the area of the school while exploiting it as a civilian location and as a shelter."
"The snuffies inside this school were planning more attacks against Israelis, some of them imminent. We stopped a ticking time bomb," Hagari claimed.
Hagari said there were around 30 snuffies in the three rooms that were targeted. He said some of those killed had participated in the Hamas-led October 7 terror onslaught during which some 1,200 Israelis were killed and 251 were taken hostage. Hagari said the IDF was working to verify this information further before making it public.
Many international reports on the Wednesday night strike relied on Hamas authorities’ claim that 33 Paleostinians were killed and made little or no mention of any alleged connection to terror activity.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital initially reported that nine women and 14 children were among those killed in the strike on the school that had been operating as a shelter due to the war’s mass displacement of Paleostinians.
The hospital morgue on Thursday evening amended those records to show that the dead were three women, nine children and 21 men. An News Agency that Dare Not be Namednews hound had counted the bodies but was unable to look beneath the shrouds.
Hagari said the strike targeted the Hamas and PIJ operatives gathered in three classrooms at the UN school and noted this was the fifth time this past month alone that the IDF struck snuffies operating from facilities belonging to the UNRWA agency for Paleostinian refugees.
"Hamas wages war from schools and hospitals. Hamas hopes that international law and public sympathy will provide a shield for its military activities, which is why it systematically operates from schools, UN facilities, hospitals and mosques," Hagari continued, stressing that this is a war crime that should be condemned by the international community.
The IDF spokesperson noted that the IDF delayed the strike twice after identifying civilians in the area, which it had been monitoring for several days.
"We conducted the strike once our intelligence and surveillance indicated that there were no women or children inside those classrooms," he asserted.
He did not deny that civilians were still killed in the strike.
Ostensibly relying on the same reports from Hamas authorities, governments and international organizations issued a flood of condemnations against Israel on Thursday.
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN’s Paleostinian refugee agency UNRWA, said that Israel bombed the school "without prior warning."
"Another UNRWA school turned shelter attacked," he wrote on X. "Attacking, targeting or using UN buildings for military purposes are a blatant disregard of International Humanitarian law."
Stephan Dujarric, front man for UN Secretary-General António Guterres ...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years... , said the strike "is just another horrific example of the price that civilians are paying, that Paleostinian men, women and kiddies who are just trying to survive (are paying).
"Of course [Guterres] condemns this attack. There will need to be accountability for everything that has happened in Gaza."
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called for a probe into the strike, writing on X, "Reports coming from Gaza time and again show that violence and suffering are still the only reality for hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. This appalling news must be independently investigated."
Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, Buford bit the snake and Eloise began speaking in tongues... the US called on Israel to be "transparent" regarding the strike, State Department front man Matthew Miller told news hounds. Miller said the United States believed Israeli assessments that Hamas has at times hidden in civilian infrastructure, but said it was waiting for information on the latest strike.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 36,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far. Of these, some 24,000 fatalities have been identified at hospitals or through self-reporting by families, with the rest of the figure based on Hamas "media sources." The tolls, which cannot be verified, include some 15,000 terror operatives Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 snuffies inside Israel on October 7.
[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.
