[SUDANTRIBUNE] Amidst escalating violence and widespread abuses by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), an estimated 60% of residents have fled the Abu Shouk camp in El-Fasher, North Darfur. The camp, home to approximately 400,000 displaced persons, was overrun by the RSF on Wednesday, triggering a wave of killings, lootings, arrests, and arson, particularly in sections 27 and 28.
Adam Rijal, spokesperson for the Coordination of Displaced Persons and Refugees in Darfur, told 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... Tribune that the exodus began early Thursday morning, with thousands fleeing the northern sections of the camp "to unknown areas." Rijal detailed the extensive violations suffered by residents, including looting, robbery, and direct gunfire into homes.
The mass displacement is fueled by both the RSF’s brutal actions and the indiscriminate shelling of the camp by both sides of the conflict. The RSF was eventually repelled from Abu Shouk by a joint force of armed movements and pushed back to the Mali Gate.
Meanwhile,
...back at the the conspirators' cleverly concealed hideout the long-awaited message arrived. They quickly got to work with their decoder rings... intense festivities persist near Abu Shouk and the nearby Naivasha camp, causing numerous injuries and destroying homes. Eyewitnesses report the use of heavy weaponry, with the conflict showing no signs of abating.
El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, has been engulfed in bloody conflict for two weeks between the army, allied armed movements, and the RSF, resulting in a significant civilian corpse count. In a surprising development, an army position in northern El-Fasher abruptly withdrew, citing ammunition shortages, inadvertently allowing the RSF to infiltrate the Abu Shouk camp.
In an effort to bolster the army and its allies, a military source revealed a successful airdrop operation delivering military equipment to El-Fasher. However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... the situation on the ground remains dire, with the humanitarian crisis deepening as thousands of displaced individuals seek safety and refuge.

[Regnum] One of the Houthi operations was carried out against a target in the Mediterranean Sea, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Abdel Malik al-Houthi, said on May 23, whose speech was broadcast by Al Masirah TV channel.
The Houthi leader announced a strike on a target in the Mediterranean Sea
“One of our military operations this week was against a target in the Mediterranean,” he said.
According to the Houthi leader, a total of eight operations were carried out this week using 15 missiles and drones in the Red and Arabian Seas, the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. In total, he said, the number of ships associated with Israel, the United States and Britain that were attacked reached 119.
As Regnum reported, on May 18, off the coast of the Yemeni city of Moha, an oil tanker was hit by a rocket. After this, a fire broke out on board. The ship was flying the flag of Panama. It received minor damage and continued to its next port of call.
Later, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) clarified that the Houthis allegedly attacked the M/T Wind oil tanker, which was allegedly heading to China. The US military claims that the ship moored in Russia before the voyage. It was operated by a Greek operator but flew the Panamanian flag.
On May 15, the Houthis said they attacked the US destroyer Mason in the Red Sea with a missile. In addition, they also launched a missile attack on the commercial ship Destiny, which was heading to the Israeli port of Eilat.
On May 8, the head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, said at a military parade that the United States was sending “tempting offers” to stop the movement from attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea. He called these steps by the American leadership humiliating.
Indeed. Go Brandon.
Al-Mashat said the Houthis will continue their attacks in support of the Gaza Strip, whose residents are suffering from attacks by the Israeli army.

[KavkazUzel] The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Kantemir Nafedzov, a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria, finding him guilty of preparing a terrorist attack in Nalchik.
According to the prosecution, from July 7 to August 24, 2023, Nafedzov participated in the activities of the banned terrorist organization “Islamic State (The Islamic State is prohibited in Russia),” sharing its ideology.
As the court established, the young man then decided to commit a terrorist attack in Nalchik. To do this, he observed administrative buildings and the city railway station, taking photos and videos near these objects.
Nafedzov conducted preparations for the terrorist attack “under the leadership of another member of the terrorist organization,” according to a publication on the court’s official Telegram channel dated May 22.
It also follows from the verdict against a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria that on August 8, 2023, he recorded an oath of allegiance to the leader of a terrorist organization on his mobile phone and sent it to someone on the Internet.
According to the court, using a mobile phone, he also received instructions from a member of a terrorist organization on how to make explosives and an improvised explosive device based on them. From August 15 to 17, the defendant purchased components for a homemade bomb in Nalchik, and on August 23, having made explosives and a homemade bomb at his home, he hid them in a cache. The next day, security forces detained Nafedzov, seizing these items from the cache.
The court found Kantemir Nafedzov guilty, sentencing him to 15 years of maximum security, with the first two years to be served in prison.
Nafedzov was found guilty on four counts: preparation of a terrorist act (Part 1 of Article 30, Part 1 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of Russia), participation in the activities of a terrorist organization (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code), illegal trafficking in explosives (Part 1 of Article 222.1 of the Criminal Code) and illegal production explosive devices (part 1 of article 223.1 of the Criminal Code). The statement from the court's press service did not specify whether he agreed with any part of the charges.
Nefedzov is 25 years old, he was born in the village of Shalushka in the Chegem region of Kabardino-Balkaria, as follows from the entry in the Rosfinmonitoring register of extremists and terrorists. The "Caucasian Knot" does not yet have any comments from the accused regarding the court's verdict.
[SHABELLEMEDIA] In a significant move to combat terrorism, the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... Security Council has sanctioned three leaders of the al-Shabaab ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... holy warrior group following a request from the Somali government.
The decision was made public on May 23, 2024, and targets three individuals identified as key figures in the organization:
1. Abdukadir Ikrima, is a Somali citizen who also holds a Kenyan passport.
2. Mohammed Mohamud Mire.
3. Mohammed Omar Mohammed.
The sanctions involve the freezing of assets and a travel ban, aiming to disrupt the activities of these individuals and the organizations they represent. This action comes as part of the ongoing efforts to improve security and stability in Somalia, a country that has been grappling with terrorism and insurgency for years.
The Somali government has been working closely with international partners, including the United Nations, to combat al-Shabaab, a group known for its violent mostly peaceful attacks and control over parts of the country.
The sanctions are a significant step forward in this ongoing battle, demonstrating the international community’s commitment to supporting Somalia’s efforts to eradicate terrorism.
The UK government, through its mission in Somalia, has also expressed support for these efforts, emphasizing the importance of tackling terrorism for a safer and more secure future for all Somalis.
The move has been welcomed by many, who see it as a necessary step towards peace and stability in the region.
As of now, the impact of these sanctions on al-Shabaab’s operations and the response from the group remains to be seen. However,
the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... this action sends a strong message that the international community stands united against terrorism and is willing to take decisive measures to combat it.

[GEO.TV] The United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... has resumed transporting humanitarian aid arriving at a US-built pier off the coast of 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 after deliveries were halted for two days because some truckloads of aid were intercepted by needy Paleostinians.
Aid deliveries began arriving at a US-built pier on Friday as Israel comes under growing global pressure to allow more supplies into the besieged coastal enclave.
The UN halted transport for two days while it came up with a new route. WFP spokesperson Shaza Moghraby said on Thursday that deliveries resumed on Tuesday with 17 trucks arriving at the warehouse, while on Wednesday there were 27 trucks.
A US official said on Thursday that so far some 800 metric tonnes of aid had been delivered off the pier to a staging area. USAID said that as of Tuesday more than 307 metric tonnes of aid had been transported from "to onward points in Gaza."

And Hamas resumes hijacking and selling it in the markets.
[NEWARAB] Three U.S. troops suffered non-combat injuries in the effort to make a temporary pier off the coast of 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... into a conduit for humanitarian aid, with one at death's door at an Israeli hospital, U.S. officials said on Thursday.
The injuries were the first for U.S. forces during the latest operation to bring humanitarian aid to Paleostinians.
The pier was announced by U.S. President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity.... in March and involved the military assembling the floating structure off the coast. Estimated to cost $320 million for the first 90 days and involve about 1,000 U.S. service members, it went into operation last week.
U.S. Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, the deputy commander of U.S. Central Command, told news hounds that two of the troops had a sprained ankle and a minor back injury.
"Two were very minor, routine injuries. Those individuals returned to duty," Cooper said.
A third service member, injured on a ship at sea, was medically evacuated to a hospital in Israel, he said. A U.S. defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the individual was at death's door.
U.S. politicians have voiced concern about the risks to positioning U.S. troops off the coast of Gaza. Biden has said they will not step foot in the war-torn enclave itself.
The Pentagon has said it will prioritise the safety of U.S. military personnel.

[GEO.TV] Israel launched devastating air strikes on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

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... early Thursday while also saying it is ready to resume stalled talks on a truce and hostage release deal with Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... to pause the war raging since October 7.
The Gaza Strip's civil defence agency said two pre-dawn air strikes had killed 26 people, including 15 children, in Gaza City alone.
Agency front man Mahmud Bassal said one strike hit a family house, killing 16 people, in the al-Daraj area, and another killed 10 people inside a mosque compound.
Fierce street battles also raged in Gaza's Jabalia and Rafah where the armed wings of Hamas and its ally 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... said they had fired mortar barrages at Israeli troops.

[GEO.TV] Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... said on Thursday it was holding an Israeli colonel captured on October 7, who Israel had previously reported was killed in the attacks that day.
The Hamas armed wing al-Qassam Brigades said Colonel Asaf Hamami had been maimed during his capture. It supplied no proof, and did not specify whether he was still alive now.
The Israeli military reported months ago that Hamami, 41, a brigade commander, had been killed in the Oct. 7 attacks and his body was being held in Gazoo

❗Al-Awda hospital in Gaza is being forced to close following a terrifying four-day siege, the latest in a series of systematic attacks on healthcare by Israeli forces. Staff and patients were forced to leave one of the only hospitals still functioning in the north of Gaza. 1/4
[NEWARAB]Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that his government has "detailed, important, and even surprising plans" regarding Israel's front with Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , as quoted by Haaretz.
His comments come during a visit to the Israeli army's Northern Command where Netanyahu met its commander and divisional commanders.
"[The plans] are meant to bring security back to the north and return the residents safely to their homes."

[NEWARAB] As the Syrian regime retook the Damascus suburb of Harasta, one soldier from the elite Tiger Forces proudly proclaimed his intentions for the former opposition stronghold.
"Everyone is stealing, looting, not leaving anything... with God’s help, nothing will remain," he tells the camera.
During the same operation, numerous videos were shot showing mobs of uniformed and plain-clothed men stripping vacated homes of all their belongings, with washing machines, furniture, and even steel facades piled onto the back of trucks and military vehicles before they departed town.
"Farewell to Harasta," one soldier taunted the survivors in a video showing part of a convoy of military and civilian vehicles, some loaded with household items, leaving the neighbourhood. "This is how looting is done."
Such admissions are frequent in an explosive new report revealed by the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre, presenting evidence of widespread pillaging by regime soldiers as they 'liberated' rebel towns and suburbs.
