[SUDANTRIBUNE] The United States will impose sanctions on 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... after determining its government used chemical weapons
...have not been used since WWI except for in Iraq, by the late, unlamented Saddam Hussein and in Syria, but really, honest, not by the Syrian government. And in Germany in WWII, but that was against civilians. Lots of them, just one of many reasons Hitler's also late and unlamented... in 2024, the State Department announced on Thursday.
The determination, made under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 (CBW Act), was delivered to Congress alongside a finding that Sudan is in non-compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), to which it is a party.
''The United States calls on the Government of Sudan to cease all chemical weapons use and uphold its obligations under the CWC,'' Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement.
Following a 15-day congressional notification period, the sanctions are expected to take effect around June 6, 2025, upon publication of a notice in the Federal Register.
The measures will include restrictions on U.S. exports to Sudan and limitations on access to U.S. government lines of credit.
The United States reiterated its commitment to hold accountable those responsible for contributing to chemical weapons proliferation.
The revelation of Sudan's chemical weapons use follows earlier reports of such actions. According to a New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... report published on January 16, 2025, senior U.S. officials indicated that Sudan's military used chemical weapons on at least two occasions against the paramilitary group it is battling for control of the country, the Rapid Support Forces (R.S.F.).
These weapons were reportedly deployed recently in remote areas of Sudan, targeting R.S.F. members, with U.S. officials expressing concern about potential future use in densely populated parts of the capital, Khartoum.
These revelations coincided with earlier U.S. sanctions imposed on Sudanese military chief Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan for documented atrocities, including indiscriminate bombing of civilians and the use of starvation as a weapon of war.

How curious! An article about a use of chemical weapons that does not name said chemicals. Perhaps I am being a CBW nerd, but dropping barrels of chlorine from the water treatment plant seems qualitatively different than using a nerve agent like Sarin, for example.
Or maybe the chemical in question was white phosphorus. Dropping it on civilians is a war crime, but WP is common in artillery shells used for marking and concealment thanks to all that pretty white smoke. Legitimate battle field use is often conflated with war crimes for media purposes.
Journalists, bah! Although, in fairness, the article does read like it was written by a chatbot.
Citing anonymous American officials, the newspaper said the weapon appeared to be chlorine gas, which can cause severe cause severe respiratory pain and death.
[BUSINESSDAY.NG] In response to escalating insecurity in Adamawa and across the North-East, the Nigerian Senate has urged the Federal Government to establish a military base in Hong Local Government Area.
This call follows a motion moved by Senator Aminu Abbas (PDP-Adamawa) and jointly sponsored by all senators representing the region.
The motion, titled ''Resurgence of Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... Activities in Hong and Gombi Local Government Areas, Adamawa and other North-East States'', highlights a troubling spike in attacks by the holy warrior group.
The Senate, while commending the efforts of security agencies, stressed the need for additional military reinforcement.
''We need a full-fledged military base in Hong to support existing personnel and repel further attacks,'' Abbas argued during Wednesday's plenary.

[VANGUARDNGR] The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has revealed that some bully boyz involved in the recent resurgence of Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... attacks in parts of Nigeria are not Nigerian nationals. He explained that these murderous Moslems carry out attacks in Nigeria and then retreat to neighboring countries to regroup before launching further assaults, taking advantage of Nigeria's mostly non-existent borders.
Speaking in Abuja during a discussion on a motion regarding the resurgence of Boko Haram activities in Hong and Gombi Local Government Areas of Adamawa State and other North East states, Akpabio stressed the need for constant vigilance.
He said, ''Our borders are very porous. Some of these bully boyz are not Nigerians. They cross our borders to launch attacks and then escape back to their countries to reinforce their ranks, especially when they find our defenses relaxed.''
The Senate has urged the Federal Government to establish a military base in Hong Local Government Area to bolster existing security personnel and prevent Boko Haram insurgency from spreading to other parts of the North and beyond.

[BBC] Islamists are infiltrating France's republican institutions and are a threat to national cohesion, according to a report presented to President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday.
It’s only been going on for two generations, but still — congratulations on noticing.
The report, drawn up by two senior civil servants, claims to find evidence for a policy of "entryism" by the Muslim Brotherhood into public bodies like schools and local government.
The French do like their philosophical jargon.
After a meeting of his security cabinet, Macron asked the government to come up with "new proposals" by early next month in light of the seriousness of the report's conclusions.
Secularism is a core tenet of France's national identity.
According to an Élysée official speaking off the record, there is a "new phenomenon - entryism - which is different from separatism".
While separatism implied Muslims living in a parallel society in France, "entryism means getting involved in republican infrastructure… in order to change it from the inside. It requires dissimulation… and it works from the bottom up," the official said.
In a copy of the report published in Le Figaro newspaper, the authors identified the Federation of Muslims in France (FMF)
…is that a name variant for the Muslims of France (Musulmans de France) or, like here, does France have a number branches of the Muslim Brotherhood in France?
as the main French emanation of the historic Muslim Brotherhood, which was founded 100 years ago to promote a return to core Islamic values.
…one of those core values is the conquest of the non-Muslim world (Dar al Harb) for Islam. Though the Brotherhooders are modern enough to prefer infiltration and colonization and the soft jihad of the law to the hard jihad of the sword until they’ve establish governance of the new territory.
They said the FMF controlled 139 places of worship in France, with a further 68 affiliated – in all around 7% of the total. The organisation also ran some 280 associations, in sports, education, charity and other fields, as well as 21 schools.
In accordance with the MB tradition — seduce ‘em with charity and lifestyle stuff, making religion secondary for the targets.
The aim of the movement was to set up "ecosystems at local level" to "structure the lives of Muslims from birth till death".
"[The movement's] officials, who are hardened activists, enter into a relationship with the local authority… Social norms – the veil, beards, dress, fasting - are gradually imposed as the ecosystem solidifies," the authors write.
"What happens is that religious practice become stricter, with a high level of girls wearing the abaya (long robe) and a massive and visible increase in the number of young girls wearing Islamic headscarves. Some are as young as five or six."
The Federation angrily rejected "any allegation that associates us with a foreign political programme, or with a strategy of 'entryism'".
"Confusing Islam with political Islamism and radicality is not only dangerous, but counter-productive for the Republic itself," the FMF said. "Behind these unfounded accusations there is a plan to stigmatise Islam and Muslims."
Yeah, yeah.
The report has been seized on by proponents of a strict enforcement of France's secular laws, which are meant to exclude all religion from public life.
Interior minister Bruno Retailleau, who on Sunday was elected leader of the conservative Les Républicains party, warned on Tuesday of "below-the-radar Islamism trying to infiltrate institutions, whose ultimate aim is to tip the whole of French society under sharia law".
Municipal elections are due in France next year, and Retailleau - who has won a reputation as a hardliner - has said he is concerned about the possibility of Islamic lists of candidates.
Far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon warned that "Islamophobia has crossed a line", accusing the president's security cabinet of adopting the "delusional theories" of both Retailleau and far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen.
The report's authors, who visited 10 different regions of France and four other European countries, concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood was losing influence in the Middle East and North Africa, and so was targeting Europe, backed by money from Turkey and Qatar.
"Having given a Western look to the ideology in order to implant themselves in Europe, (the Muslim Brotherhood) tries to lay down the roots of a Middle Eastern tradition while concealing a subversive fundamentalism," they wrote.

And the proof they’ll offer is that the French authorities put ever more armed guards around Jewish institutional buildings to protect them from attacks by the violent Moslem colonizers they’ve been coddling for two generation — which is considerably more than the nothing they do to protect French churches from the same predators.
[NAHARNET] Irish rappers Kneecap on Thursday denied supporting a proscribed group and vowed to "vehemently defend ourselves" after a member of the band was charged with a terror offence for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a London concert.
"We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves. This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction," the band said on X.
Liam O'Hanna, 27, known by his stage name Mo Chara, was on Wednesday charged with showing support for a proscribed group during a performance on November 21.
London's Metropolitan Police said officers from its Counter Terrorism Command launched an investigation after a video of the event surfaced online in April.
In its statement, Kneecap attacked the "establishment" for trying to focus attention elsewhere while the population 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 a rusty 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... suffered, and accused Israel of committing genocide.
"We are not the story. Genocide is. As they profit from genocide, they use an 'anti-terror law' against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage".
The charge follows growing scrutiny of Kneecap's performances after footage circulated online showing provocative political statements made by the band on stage.
One video appeared to show a band member shouting: "Up Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... , up Hezbollah."
Those groups, in Gaza and in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel... , are banned as terror organizations in the UK and it is a crime to express support for them.
The band, known for its confrontational style and Irish nationalist messaging, has denied supporting violence or banned groups.

La Belle France is ''indefectibly attached to the security of Israel''.
[NY Post] The father of the terror suspect accused of gunning down two soon-to-be-engaged Israeli Embassy staffers at the Capital Jewish Museum was honored by a far-left member of Congress with an invitation to President Trump’s joint address this past March, The Post has exclusively learned.
“Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-Ill.) said Thursday night.
In March, he hailed Rodriguez as “an outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.”
“Eric represents the very best of our community — someone who has served his country, continues to serve his fellow veterans and fights every day to protect the dignity of working people,” the congressman said in a statement at the time.
“His presence at the Joint Address is a powerful statement: we will not sit back while veterans and workers are treated as political pawns.”
Thinking waaaaay outside the box, moving the Overton Window to another galaxy… Secretary Noem just trumped [yes, I did — and on purpose, too] all the management clichés. Why on earth would anyone go to Harvard if they can’t rub elbows with international aristocrats? It’s not like the education is still something special.
[FoxNews] Existing international students must transfer or leave US as DHS demands protest footage and disciplinary records
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is eliminating the student visa program at Harvard University due to "pro-terrorist conduct" at campus protests, Fox News Digital has learned.
It's a severe consequence for what DHS claims is Harvard's refusal to comply with its requests for behavioral records of student visa holders.
"This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus," said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. "It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country."
Harvard may no longer enroll foreign students in the 2025-2026 school year, and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status to reside in the U.S. before the next academic year begins.
"As a result of your brazen refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas rhetoric, and employs racist ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ policies, you have lost this privilege," Noem wrote in a letter to Maureen Martin, the university’s director of immigration services.
Noem offered Harvard 72 hours to provide the information requested for an opportunity to regain its visa program for the next school year.
She called the move the "direct result of Harvard’s epic failure to comply with simple reporting requirements."
Harvard, meanwhile, asserted the termination was "unlawful."
"The government’s action is unlawful. We are fully committed to maintaining Harvard’s ability to host our international students and scholars, who hail from more than 140 countries and enrich the University – and this nation – immeasurably. We are working quickly to provide guidance and support to members of our community. This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvard’s academic and research mission," university spokesperson Jason Newton told Fox News Digital.
The records requested include any footage of protest activity involving students on visas and the disciplinary records of all students on visas in the last five years.
Noem said last month she had requested records related to visa-holding students enrolled in the university and Harvard’s counsel did not provide adequate information to meet the demand. After the DHS general counsel asked again for the information, Harvard provided an "insufficient, incomplete and unacceptable response," she said.
"Consequences must follow to send a clear signal to Harvard and all universities that want to enjoy the privilege of enrolling foreign students, that the Trump administration will enforce the law and root out the evils of antisemitism in society and campuses," said Noem.
Requested records also include footage or documentation of illegal, dangerous or violent activity by student visa holders, any records of threats or the deprivation of rights of other students or university personnel.
Harvard could not immediately be reached for comment.
Last month, Harvard announced it would allow foreign students to accept admission to both Harvard and a foreign university as backup amid the Trump administration’s threats to move to block Harvard’s authorization to host them. Typically, students must accept enrollment at Harvard by May 1 and can’t commit to another university.
At least a dozen Harvard students have had their authorization to study in the U.S. revoked over campus protest activity.
The Trump administration has already frozen close to $3 billion in federal funding to the university, largely dedicated to research, and launched investigations across the departments of Justice, Education and Health and Human Services. They claim that Harvard has failed to address campus antisemitism and eradicate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in its policies.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Congress this week that the State Department had probably revoked "thousands" of student visas by this point and would "proudly" revoke more.
"We're going to continue to revoke the visas of people who are here as guests and are disrupting our higher education facilities," he said Tuesday. "A visa is a privilege, not a right."
The crackdown on university policies comes after a wave of pro-Gaza student protests and encampments swept schools across the nation since the beginning of Israel’s offensive campaign to eradicate Hamas after the Oct. 7 attacks to pressure university administrations to divest from Israel.
[GEO.TV] President Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari
...former president of Pakistain, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in... and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday jointly conferred the baton of field marshal upon Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir during a special investiture ceremony at Aiwan-e-Sadr in Islamabad.
In recognition of his exemplary and exceptional leadership during Pakistain's recent military festivities with India and the successful execution of ''Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos'', the federal government on Tuesday elevated General Munir to the rank of field marshal.
The decision was made during a federal cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The government approved the promotion of COAS Gen Munir to the rank of field marshal for ensuring the security of the country and defeating the enemy via the best strategy and courageous leadership during ''Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos''.
The rank of Field Marshal, a five-star designation, is the highest position in the Pakistain Army, placed above the rank of a general.
Addressing the ceremony, the president said they gathered to honour the nation's armed forces and the heroes of the army, navy and the air force, who defended the illusory sovereignty, territory and integrity against unprovoked Indian aggression.
''The entire nation is proud of all of you,'' he added. The president added that it was a matter of great pleasure for him to confer the baton of field marshal upon COAS Asim Munir in recognition of his extraordinary services to Pakistain during the turbulent period and with full confidence in his command and character.
''I, as president of Pakistain, hereby promote General Syed Asim Munir to the full rank of field marshal and confer the baton of field marshal as supreme commander of the armed forces,'' he added.

[GEO.TV] Pakistan will not get water from rivers over which India has rights, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, a month after a deadly attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) led New Delhi to suspend a key river water-sharing treaty between the neighbours.
The suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), negotiated by the World Bank in 1960, was among a slew of measures announced by India against Pakistan last month after the April 22 attack that killed 26 men, mostly Hindu tourists.
New Delhi accused Pakistan of the attack without presenting evidence and launched missile strikes on Pakistani cities, triggering the worst military clashes in nearly 30 years before both sides agreed to a ceasefire on May 10.
"Pakistan will have to pay a heavy price for every terrorist attack ... Pakistan's army will pay it, Pakistan's economy will pay it," Modi said at a public event in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, which borders Pakistan.
The Indus treaty provides water for 80% of Pakistan's farms from three rivers that flow from India, but Pakistan's finance minister said this month that its suspension was not going to have "any immediate impact".
The ceasefire between the countries has largely held, with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar saying that there is no exchange of fire currently and "there has been some repositioning of forces accordingly".

[GEO.TV] Pakistain has stressed that escalatory statements and belligerent posturing serve no purpose other than exacerbating tensions after India's top leadership made baseless allegations. "And we should know!"
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said a day earlier that Pakistain would not get water from rivers over which India has rights, a month after a deadly attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... (IIOJK) led New Delhi to suspend a key river water-sharing treaty between the neighbours.
"Pakistain will have to pay a heavy price for every terrorist attack ... The Mighty Pak Army will pay it, Pakistain's economy will pay it," Modi said at a public event in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, which borders Pakistain.
In a statement on Friday, the Foreign Office said that Pakistain categorically rejects the baseless, provocative, and irresponsible allegations made by the Indian prime minister during the public address in Rajasthan.

[FoxNews] The U.S. Air Force conducted a routine launch of an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead on Wednesday morning, the military said.
The LGM-30G Minuteman III missile was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time, the Air Force said.
The unarmed missile, equipped with a single Mark-21 High Fidelity Re-Entry Vehicle, traveled 15,000 mph to a test range near the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, located about 4,200 miles from the launch site, the military said.

"Abbas' statements have refuted every excuse the Axis of Resistance® was hiding behind in order to continue carrying illegal weapons," Geagea said, adding that time has come for Lebanese people to have a real state with monopoly on weapons.
A joint statement by Aoun and Abbas said that both sides have agreed that weapons should only be with the Lebanese state, and the existence of "weapons outside the control of the Lebanese state has ended."
