[NYPOST] Two fresh busloads of migrants colonists rolled into New York City after being shipped in by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too... on Wednesday — as the number of asylum seekers arriving in the Big Apple continued to surge.
The first bus — carrying 41 migrants colonists, including 15 kids — arrived at Manhattan’s Port Authority terminal at about 7 a.m. from the US border town of Laredo, Texas, migrant advocates told The Post.
A second busload of asylum seekers, which carried 27 adults and 23 children from the same Texas town, pulled into the station just after 1:30 p.m.
The buses were sent to the Big Apple by Abbott, his office confirmed Wednesday — just days after Mayor Eric Adams said the Lone Star state would be ramping up how many migrants colonists it would ship to the sanctuary city.
"What Gov. Abbott is doing is clearly shameful," Manuel Castro, Commissioner of the NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, said after greeting the migrants colonists as they hopped off the buses.

What's missing from all these accounts is the fact Gov. Abbot doesn't send them anywhere they don't want to go.

[Garowe] A court in Kenya has jugged Book 'im, Mahmoud! a man suspected to be an informer of al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... murderous Moslems after he admitted to being in the East African nation illegally, in the latest high-profile security-related judgment which also exposes the country's mostly non-existent border.
The man, Alion Edin Marsack, was arrested at Wargadud township of Mandera along the Kenya-Somalia border on 21st April and was subsequently detained at Elwak Police Station according to court documents.
He was arraigned at a Mandera Court on two counts of being in the country illegally and entering the country through a place that is not designated as a point of entry or exit, the police report confirmed.
Despite the three-year imprisonment for being in the country illegally, detectives are still investigating what the convict might have been up to in the country. He was arrested following a tip-off from hawk-eyed members of the public who also suspected his presence.
During his interrogation by detectives from the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit, Marsack confessed that he was recruited by the terror group in 2018. He told detectives that he had undergone various training including collecting information for facilitating attacks.
According to detectives, he might have been sent from El-Adde to do surveillance in the country before carrying out an attack. The 39-year-old mason reportedly admitted to having participated in five al-Shabaab attacks within the Gedo region of Somalia.
The al-Shabaab holy warriors are on the receiving end from Somalia with the country now set to launch the second phase of operations against the group. Kenya is fully participating in efforts to stabilize Somalia having contributed over 3,500 soldiers to the country.
[GOOBJOOG] The two warring sides in the Sudan conflict have agreed to a seven-day ceasefire according to South Sudanese officials.
The announcement comes even as air raids and shootouts continue in the capital Khartoum — disrupting a previous short term truce.
On Tuesday, South Sudan Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement saying President Salva Kirr who has been pushing for end of hostilities in Sudan alongside other IGAD states leaders stressed the importance of a longer ceasefire to allow room for peace talks to commence.
President Kirr said in the statement that the two sides, the Sudan Armed Forces led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support forces (RSF) led by General Mohammed Hamdan "Hemedti" Dagalo, had agreed to the proposal to extend the ceasefire.
However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... the announcement remains unclear as reports of festivities emerged from Khartoum over the past 72 hours.
"Previously, we have had a three-day ceasefire followed by another three-day ceasefire, which was followed by an extension of the three-day ceasefire. This one is supposed to last for seven days. Both sides have agreed that they will have a ceasefire and that they will not fire unless they are fired at or unless there are military movements. All ceasefires have been conditional," an official told local media in Khartoum.
The army and the RSF has however stated that there are conditions set for the talks when they happen setting ground for difficult peace negotiations as fears of even severe implications on civilians trapped in the conflict continue to rise.
Sudan’s war has forced 100,000 people to flee over its borders and fighting, now its third week, is creating a humanitarian crisis, UN officials said earlier on Tuesday.

Since when does the Sudan's Muslim military pay attention to anything a southern Sudanese has to say? Absurd!
[American Greatness] As Title 42’s expiration date nears, massive migrant bus convoys are heading to the United States border from Panama with the help of the United States government, UNICEF, and the European Union, longtime war correspondent Michael Yon reports. Alarmingly, many of the migrants are carrying serious diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and tuberculosis, according to Yon, who has been reporting on the situation from Darien, Panama.
Migrant camps funded by the U.S., UNICEF and the EU can be found throughout the Darien Gap, according to Yon.
“So yeah, we’re paying for it and we’re not hiding it,” he told independent journalist Emerald Robinson. “I mean, the American flag is right on it.” Yon said people often ask who is doing this. “I keep telling them, it’s the United States. How many times can I say it!” he laughed. “It’s our own occupational government doing it.”
Darien, a major hub for human trafficking and illegal immigration, is where migrants are put on buses and transported to the U.S. southern border. According to Yon, 30 to 40 luxury buses (which amounts to 1,500 to 2,000 illegal aliens) are leaving Darien each day. The numbers, he said, are increasing because the migrants are aware of the impending policy change (Title 42) that further opens the border to them.
[AlAhram] Belgian police on Thursday arrested seven people suspected of supporting the Islamic State (IS) group and plotting a "terrorist attack", prosecutors said.
Almost all the suspects are ethnic Chechens, and three of them possess Belgian nationality, prosecutors said in a statement.
"The exact target of the planned attack has not yet been determined," they said.
Police, backed by elite units, raided nine addresses in several towns in western Belgium in an operation led by an investigating judge specialised in terrorism cases.
The judge will decide "at a later stage" if there is sufficient evidence to charge the suspects, the statement said.
"Possible charges are attempted terrorist assassination, participation in the activities of a terrorist group and preparation of a terrorist attack," it said.
Prosecutors added that all seven arrested "are suspected of preparing a terrorist attack in Belgium".
They all "belong to a group of strong supporters of the IS".
The police raids took place in the city of Ghent and the smaller towns of Roeselare, Menen, Ostend and Wevelgem.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for suicide bombings in Belgium on March 22, 2016 that targeted Brussels' airport and the capital's metro, killing 32 people and wounding hundreds.
Those bombings occurred months after the November 2015 attacks in Paris that were planned by the same IS cell and which killed 130 people.
Chechnya, a republic in Russia's North Caucasus region, has a predominantly Muslim population.
It is ruled by pro-Kremlin strongman Ramzan Kadyrov, who supports Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine and who has sent his militia there to fight.

[GEO.TV] Six soldiers of the Pakistain Army embraced martyrdom and three gunnies were eliminated in a fierce shootout that broke out in a remote part of the mountainous North Wazoo district, the military said on Thursday.
The statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military's media wing read: "A fire exchange took place between gunnies and own troops in general area Dirduni, North Waziristan District."
It added: "Three gunnies were sent to hell while injuring another two".
The six brave who — having fought gallantly — before they were martyred include: Havaldar Saleem Khan (age 36 years, resident of District Tank), Naik Javed Iqbal (age 37 years, resident of District Kohat), Sepoy Nazir Khan (age 26 years, resident of District Bannu), Sepoy Hazrat Bilal (age 25 years, resident of District Mardan), Sepoy Syed Rajab Hussain (age 22 years, resident of District Orakzai) and Sepoy Bismillah Jan (age 22 years, resident of District Khyber).
The military wing’s statement further added that a search operation was underway to clear any active threats holed up in the area.
"Sanitisation of the area is being carried out to eliminate any gunnies found in the area."
Moreover, the statement concluded with a resolve to ensure that terrorism was eliminated from the country.
"Security Forces of Pakistain are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve," the ISPR statement added.
[GEO.TV] At least eight people, including five teachers, were killed in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Upper Kurram Tehsil, the district administration said Thursday, in the latest incident of violence in the northwestern province.
Local police said that in the first incident in Parachinar, which falls in Upper Kurram and is the capital of Kurram district, a teacher was killed whilst in a moving vehicle.
Separately, unidentified button men shot seven people, including four teachers, in the staffroom of Government High School Tari Mangal. All the educators were at the building for performing their exam duties.
The district administration said the three others killed were drivers who brought construction materials to the school.
Following the shootings, the authorities have imposed emergency in all hospitals in the area.
The teacher, named Mohammad Sharif, who was killed inside the car also belonged to the same school, said the police. The teacher was shot while he was travelling on Shalozan Road.
The bodies of those killed were sent to their ancestral villages for burial, the administration added.
Following the incidents, the ongoing matriculation exams — which kicked off on April 28 and are being held under the supervision of Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Kohat — were postponed till further notice. All educational institutions were also closed till further notice.
The police are searching for the killers, but have not been able to track them down so far.
Meanwhile, ...back at the cheese factory, there was only one thought in the mouse's mind: I can do this! I can do this! Then the trap sprung... citizens of the area held a protest over the killings in front of the local press club.
School shootings are rare in Pakistain. Over 140 people, mostly students, were killed in a gun-and-kaboom at an army school in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... in December 2016.

[Shafaq News] A PKK/KCK terrorist Ahmet Gumus, also known as Cudi Engizek was "neutralized" in a Ottoman Turkish intelligence operation in Iraq's northern Gara region on Thursday.
Security sources told Anadolu News Agency that Gumus, on the Ottoman Turkish National Intelligence Organization's target list, was involved in various attacks on Ottoman Turkish security forces and was developing weapons systems for the group. He also trained PKK/KCK assassins and worked as a bodyguard for the group's leader, Murat Karayilan, for a period.
Gumus had joined the group in 1999 and had been the head of PKK/KCK training camps. He operated in eastern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... between 1999 and 2007 in regions such as Gabar, Besta, Herkol, Cudi, and Kato Mountain and was trained in Greece as one of the group's top assassins.
[Shafaq News] A shepherd was killed in the Saladin Governorate of western Iraq on Thursday by an bomb, a security source reported.
The source revealed that the device was planted on the road between al-Sharqat and Tulul al-Baj.
Security forces have initiated an investigation into the attack.
Such attacks have become frequent in Iraq, with citizens, security forces, and convoys transporting logistical supplies for the US-led coalition forces being targeted.
ISIS is known for carrying out bombings and other violent mostly peaceful attacks in the country, but it is unclear whether they are responsible for these specific bombs. Other gangs and Lions of Islam also operate in the country, making it difficult to attribute these attacks to a particular group without further investigation.

[IsraelTimes] IDF says serviceman pushes attacker back after being stabbed in shoulder in flashpoint northern West Bank town, before opening fire
An Israeli soldier was lightly hurt in a stabbing attack in the West Bank town of Huwara on Thursday, the military and medics said.
According to the Magen David Adom ambulance service, the soldier in his 20s was treated at the scene for a stab wound to his shoulder, and taken to Beilinson Hospital in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikvah.
The Israel Defense Forces said the maimed soldier managed to push the female Paleostinian attacker away, before he and a soldier stationed with him in the Paleostinian town shot her.
The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said the woman was taken at death's door to Rafidia Hospital in the West Bank city of Nablus, where she was later declared dead. The ministry named her as 26-year-old Eman Ziyad Ahmed Odeh.
Huwara has long been a flashpoint in the West Bank as it is just about the only Paleostinian town that Israelis regularly travel through in order to reach settlements. There are plans to build a bypass road for settlers to avoid having to travel through the town, but the construction work has been stalled.
There have been several shooting attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers in the town in recent months, including the killing of two brothers in February.
The attack on Thursday came hours after Israeli security forces killed three Paleostinian button men in nearby Nablus. Two of the men were accused of killing Lucy Dee and her daughters Maia and Rina in a shooting attack in the Jordan Valley last month.

[IsraelTimes] Troops surround home in Nablus, reportedly fire missile in effort to flush out suspects, who are killed in ensuing firefight along with another gunman.
Two Paleostinians accused of killing Lucy Dee and her daughters Maia and Rina in a shooting attack in the Jordan Valley last month were rubbed out by Israeli troops Thursday morning in the West Bank city of Nablus along with a third Paleostinian gunman.
In a joint statement, the Shin Bet security agency, Israel Police, and Israel Defense Forces said troops entered the Nablus Old City in order to arrest Hassan Katnani and Ma’ad Masri, the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,holy warriors who allegedly carried out the deadly attack on April 7.
Members of the police elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit surrounded the home where the two holy warriors were believed to be hiding. The forces fired a shoulder-launched missile at it, according to Paleostinian media, in a tactic known as a "pressure cooker," to flush out wanted suspects. "Get some!" That oughtta do it
Some reports also claimed a miniature drone flew into the building. A senior IDF officer confirmed that drones were used during the raid, but said they have been used in practically every recent similar operation in the West Bank.
Armed festivities took place around the home, and the two bad boyz were potted along with another gunman, Ibrahim Hura, who had aided them in hiding, the statement said.
Israeli forces also seized three assault rifles from inside, the statement added.
Paleostinian media published footage of what they said were three bodies being retrieved from the home. The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry confirmed that three men were killed in the incident.
The three members of the Dee family were dual Israeli-British nationals who lived in the West Bank settlement of Efrat, just south of Jerusalem, after moving to Israel some eight years ago.
The Paleostinian button menshot up the victims’ car near the settlement of Hamra in the northern Jordan Valley, as they were heading north on a trip to Tiberias on April 7. The vehicle crashed on the highway’s shoulder, and the holy warriors then fired at the car again at close range. The daughters, 20-year-old Maia and 15-year-old Rina were declared dead at the scene, while Lucy, 48, was rushed to a hospital at death's door but died three days later.
The vehicle apparently used by the holy warriors was found by PA security forces in Nablus several days later.
A senior IDF Central Command officer told news hounds that the operation on Thursday was carried out with "precision and professionalism," leading to a quick raid with no injuries, despite it being nearly a month since the deadly attack.
"We consider this matter very important, the time that passes from the moment of the attack to the elimination... the speed with which the incident is dealt with is what thwarts terrorism, so time is important," the officer said.
"It is important for us to make it clear to the other side that there are no cities of refuge anywhere in [the West Bank]. Even places that they apparently think are safe — are not," he said.
The officer noted that there has been an increase in intelligence alerts of potential terror attacks in recent weeks. "We need to make sure that the rate of thwarting [attacks] is higher than the rate of alerts," he said.
"I have said in the past that we have the possibility of being able to carry out more significant operations in [the West Bank] and if it is necessary, we will go into action," the officer added.
Paleostinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have killed 19 people since the beginning of the year and left several more seriously hurt.
At least 99 Paleostinians have been killed since the beginning of the year, most of them while carrying out attacks or during festivities with security forces, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under circumstances that are being investigated.
