These attacks, which began on April 6th, have resulted in civilian casualties, widespread displacement, and the burning of entire villages.

"The attack started at dawn on Saturday and targeted many villages," Ismail 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.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] Bloody festivities erupted in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, on Saturday between a faction of 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... Liberation Movement-Transitional Council (SLM-TC) and a breakaway group. The fighting caused casualties on both sides.
For months, the SLM-TC has been grappling with internal disagreements over its stance in the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Some leaders advocate for supporting the army, while others favour neutrality.
These divisions led to a split. A new faction emerged under the leadership of Salah Rasas, who, along with other political and military figures, declared their allegiance to the Sudanese army and readiness to fight the RSF. Meanwhile, ...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?
Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.
If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!... the SLM-TC leader, al-Hadi Idris, maintains a neutral position, refusing to side with either party in the military conflict.
Military sources informed Sudan Tribune that "a group affiliated with the SLM-TC, led by al-Hadi Idris, was attacked near Abu Shouk camp by a splinter group from the movement led by General Osman Abdel-Jabbar, while withdrawing from El Fasher." The attack resulted in the deaths of soldiers from both sides.
The Transitional Council’s military spokesperson issued a statement condemning the incident as a "treacherous attack" by armed forces and allied movements on a battalion affiliated with the SLM-TC while on a mission from El Fasher to the Korma military region. He claimed their forces repelled the attack, inflicting losses on the attackers, and successfully reached their destination.
The statement further announced casualties among their ranks and vowed a measured response against the aggressors, emphasizing that they would "pay a heavy price for this sinful and cowardly act."
In late March, the SLM-TC withdrew from the joint force formed by armed movements that signed the Juba Agreement. They attributed the decision to the "treasonous" defection of a group led by Lieutenant Colonel Abdeen Musa, who sought refuge with the Sudanese army in El Fasher. The SLM-TC considers this a violation of the Juba Agreement and its principles.

Tribune that "the RSF took control of the headquarters of the joint force affiliated with the armed movements that signed the Juba Peace Agreement and forced them to withdraw towards El Fasher and some nearby villages."
Pro-RSF outlets broadcast video clips showing the destruction of a large number of armed movement vehicles and the capture of a number of soldiers. The RSF Commander in Central Darfur, Ali Yaqoub, appeared in a video clip in front of the Mellit Administrative Unit.
With the capture of Mellit, the RSF has effectively gained control of all areas north of El Fasher.
North Darfur’s strategic hub, Mellit, sits just 60 kilometres from El-Fasher. This border town plays a crucial role in the region. It acts as a vital checkpoint for humanitarian aid deliveries to Darfur, designated by the government as a crossing point on the key al-Dabba al-Fasher road. Mellit also serves as a gateway for Libyan traffic and boasts one of the largest customs points in all of Darfur.

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Nigerien capital of Niamey demanding the departure of American forces stationed in northern part of the country.
The move came after the Nigerien authorities canceled the cooperation agreement with Washington last month which dated back to 2012.
According to Agence La Belle France-Presse, the demonstration was called by "Synergy", a group consisting of about ten associations that support the Nigerian authorities and local Islamic organizations.
Crowds gathered in front of the headquarters of the National Assembly in central Niamey, where several figures attended, including official junta’s spokesperson Col. Amadou Abdramane.
Many students participated in the demonstration, during which the protesters chanted, "Down with American imperialism," "Long live the Sahel coalition" (Mali, Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be.

After the expulsion of the French army at the end of 2023, Niger announced last March that it was abandoning "with immediate effect" a military cooperation agreement with the United States dating back to 2012, considering it "illegal."
Niamey then confirmed that the United States would soon present a draft on the withdrawal of its soldiers. Washington did not want to comment, simply stating that it had contacted the authorities in Niger "to obtain clarification."
It is noteworthy that about a thousand American soldiers are deployed in Niger and they have a large base for drones in Agadez in the northern country. Wonder why they haven't droned the chiboks?

Sometimes I play a game where I try to geo-locate an event just from the headline. In this case, in order of probability, it was Rwanda, Minneapolis and South LA. Melbourne was not even on the radar.

Other protests broke out on Monday morning on a Philadelphia intersection and on Highway 880 in Oakland, California.
