[Iran Press TV] Djibouti has accused neighboring Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age... of occupying a disputed territory along the two neighboring countries' borderline.
"Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... i peacekeepers withdrew on June 12 and 13. On the same day, there were Eritrean military movements on the mountain," Foreign Minister Mahamoud Ali Youssouf said on Friday.
Qatari peacekeepers had been in control of the disputed mountainous border crossing between Eritrea and Djibouti.
"They [Eritreans] are now in full control of Dumeira Mountain and Dumeira Island. This is in breach of the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... Security Council resolution," he said.
The minister said Djibouti had lodged complaints with both the United Nations and the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... , adding that its military forces were "on alert".
On the other side of the dispute, Nasredin Ali, a front man for Eritrea's biggest gang, known as the Red Sea Afar Democratic Organization, confirmed that Eritrean forces moved into the disputed region after the Qatari troops pulled out.
Qatari forces were deployed to the region after deadly festivities broke out between the Horn of Africa countries in 2008. The UN Security Council then requested both sides to withdraw from the area, before the neighbors accepted a Qatari request to mediate and deploy peacekeepers.

[Libya Herald] Jets roared low across Benghazi tonight as the airforce buzzed Suq al-Hout where the Libyan National Army (LNA) continues to make slow progress in house-to-house fighting.
Such straight-and-low flying is unusual. Air attacks are normally made from a height. But tonight there were no bomb kabooms nor the sound of strafing. The high-speed passes were evidently designed to alarm and intimidate the remaining murderous Moslems trapped inside the enclave.
While there are no reports of LNA casualties today, the bodies of at least two murderous Moslems were discovered. One was identified as Ihab al-Zuway, said to be a member of Ansar al-Sharia ...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet... , the other as Salahaddin Azzouz, whose nickname was "Talha" (Big Tree).
As the LNA advances the full extent of the damage to the historic Suq al-Hout district is becoming apparent. Hardly a building is untouched and some, such as the old internal security headquarters, built by the Italians in the 1930s, are largely destroyed.

Why can't the police just accept that they felt like they were women that day? Why are Muslim police officers so transphobic?
Oh wait. Is saying that Muslim police officers are transphobic being Islamophobic?

[Asharq al-Aswat] Bahrain’s prosecution convicted on Wednesday a Bahraini suspect of involvement with the terror group ISIS, revoking his citizenship and sentencing him to 10 years in jail.
The convict was proven radicalized and having pledged to using force against the government, rabble-rousing and spreading chaos, threatening to disrupt social and civil peace.
Bahraini prosecution condemned Yusef Albinali, cousin of ISIS self-proclaimed holy man Turki Albinali, of all plaintiffs pushed against him.
Albinali’s legal representative, Abdullah Hashem, said he plans on pushing for a discrimination claim, and expects an appeal for the verdict against his client.
Advocate General and Head of the Terror Crimes Prosecution, Ahmed al-Hammadi, said that the First High Criminal Court had sentenced a suspect to 10 years in prison, revoked his citizenship and confiscated most of his possessions.
The Advocate General confirmed that the defendant was afforded full legal rights throughout the trial, adding he has the right to appeal the ruling, and may challenge the Court of Appeals’ verdict at the Court of Cassation as guaranteed by Bahraini law.
The suspect stood trial over charges of joining a terrorist group, possessing a firearm illegally for terrorist purposes and disseminating false news, al-Hammadi said.

[NEWS.XINHUANET] About three gunnies of the Yemen-based al-Qaeda branch were killed after an unmanned U.S. plane fired a missile at a running vehicle in the southeastern province of Shabwa on Friday, a military official told Xinhua.
"The Arclight airstrike took place in Niqabah area of Shabwa province and one vehicle carrying al-Qaeda members was completely destroyed," the local military official said on condition of anonymity.
The military source said that the strike was launched on specific intelligence inputs provided by the Yemeni anti-terror unit and resulted in killing three terrorists.
He added that among those killed was the brother of Saad Bin Atef, the leader of al-Qaeda terrorist group in Shabwa province.
The mountainous areas in Shabwa and Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... provinces have been the scene of U.S. drone attacks and festivities between Yemeni security forces and gunnies of the Yemen-based al-Qaeda branch since the emergence of the group in the country eight years ago.

[IsraelTimes] Moscow says it’s verifying whether His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi among 30 killed in May 28 Arclight airstrike near Raqqa stronghold.
The Pentagon said on Friday that it had no supporting information to confirm reports from Moscow that its forces may have killed the leader of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group in an Arclight airstrike last month.
"We have no information to corroborate those reports," Pentagon front man Navy Captain Jeff Davis told Rooters on Friday, after Russia said it was verifying whether Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
was killed in the raid targeting a meeting of IS leaders just outside the group’s de facto capital of Raqqa, in Syria.
The Russian Defense Ministry said other senior group commanders may have also been killed, adding that the information about his death was still "being verified through various channels."
Asked about that claim at a news conference in Moscow, however, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said: "I don’t have a 100-percent confirmation of the information."
The Defense Ministry said the air raid on May 28 that targeted the meeting may have also killed about 30 mid-level holy warrior leaders and about 300 other fighters.
The ministry said the IS leaders were gathered to discuss the group’s withdrawal from Raqqa. It said the military began planning the hit after getting word that the group’s leadership was to meet in order to plan IS’s exit to the south.
The Russian military sent drones to monitor the area and then dispatched a group of Su-34 bombers and Su-35 fighter jets to hit the IS gathering.
"According to the information that is being verified through various channels, IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi also attended the meeting and was killed in the Arclight airstrike," the military said in a statement.
The Defense Ministry added that it had warned the US of the coming strike.
Syrian opposition activists reported Arclight airstrikes on May 28 south of Raqqa that killed more than a dozen people. The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks Syria’s war, said Arclight airstrikes on the road linked the villages of Ratla and Kasrat killed 18 people while the activist-operated Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently said 17 non-combatants were killed in the Arclight airstrike on buses carrying civilians. The Observatory said the dead included 10 Islamic State group members. It did not elaborate at the time.
The Russian ministry said that among other holy warrior leaders killed in the raid were IS leaders Abu al-Khadji al-Mysri, Ibrahim al-Naef al-Khadj and Suleiman al-Shauah.
Al-Baghdadi is a nom de guerre for a man identified as Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai. The US is offering a $25 million reward for information leading to his death or capture.
There had been previous reports of al-Baghdadi being killed but they did not turn out to be true. The IS leader last released an audio on Nov. 3, urging his followers to keep up the fight for djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... as they defend the Iraqi city against a major offensive that began weeks earlier.
As the forces of Evil take a pounding in their eroding strongholds, US officials and Syrian activists say many commanders have fled Mosul and Raqqa in recent months for Mayadeen, a remote town in the heart of Syria’s IS-controlled, Euphrates River valley near the Iraqi border.

Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group, a monitor said.
"Regime forces seized the Arak gas field" in the central province of Homs, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Arak, like much of the surrounding desert region of Badiya, had been in the hands of the jihadists since 2015.
The army is pressing an offensive to recapture the vast region, which stretches from central Syria to the borders with Iraq and Jordan.
The Arak gas field lies 35 kilometres (20 miles) northeast of the ancient city of Palmyra, which regime forces retook with Russian support in March after IS overran it in 2014.
The Observatory says the Syrian army now stands 25 kilometres to the south of the town of al-Sukhna, which lies even further northeast.
The recapture of al-Sukhna could allow the army to advance into the mostly IS-held province of Deir Ezzor.
On Saturday, the army said it holds more than 20 percent of the Badiya region, after reaching the Iraqi border for the first time since 2015.
The regime has lost control of many oil and gas fields since the start in 2011 of Syria's conflict, especially in the provinces of Homs and Deir Ezzor.
But the army has since regained some including the Jazal oil field, some 20 kilometres northwest of Palmyra.
