[SUDANTRIBUNE] 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... 's cholera cases have surpassed 5,000, the health ministry said on Saturday, as the outbreak spreads amid heavy rains and flooding. Gedaref state is appealing for urgent humanitarian assistance to establish isolation centers.
The epidemic began on Aug. 12 and has affected 38 localities across multiple states. The actual number of cases is likely higher due to disrupted surveillance systems following the conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The health ministry reported 285 new cases, bringing the total to 5,081, including 176 deaths. Kassala state recorded the most new infections (117), followed by River Nile state (61) and Gedaref (47).
In Gedaref, the outbreak has hit Al Faw, Al Mafazah, and Qalaa Al Nahal localities, with 266 cases and 26 deaths. Medical sources cited shortages of IV fluids, deteriorating sanitation, and disease vectors.
Al Faw Hospital is receiving cases from Wad Al Rakin in Al Jazirah state, partly controlled by the RSF.
Gedaref's health minister has appealed to organizations for rapid interventions, including medicines, IV fluids, chlorine, and isolation centres. He also urged ''Doctors Without Borders'' to assist with environmental sanitation and disease control.
[GEOTV] At least eight Afghan Taliban ...Arabic for students... fighters were killed and 16 others injured in the early hours of Saturday (September 7) when Pak forces retaliated against unprovoked cross-border firing from Afghanistan's Pilwasin area.
According to Geo News, sources linked with border security personnel confirmed two "key commanders" of the Afghan Taliban, Khalil and Jan Muhammad, were killed in the exchange of fire.
"Afghan Taliban opened fire towards Pak check-posts using advanced weaponry in Pilwasin on the morning of September 7."
Besides a spike in terrorist activities within the borders, Pakistain has witnessed a significant surge in cross-border attacks from the neighbouring country targetting security forces in recent months.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] 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... 's army and allied forces said on Sunday they had thwarted the ''largest drone attack'' on El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have besieged El Fasher since April, and in May launched a series of attacks in an attempt to seize the city, but were repelled by the army and its allies.
Leaders within the joint forces say the city has been subjected to around 131 attacks from the RSF and allied militias. The fighting and RSF shelling have led to numerous civilian deaths and the displacement of over 500,000 people, along with widespread destruction.
''Today, the defences of the joint forces and the army thwarted the largest drone attack carried out by the Rapid Support Forces on the city of El Fasher,'' Ahmed Hussein Mustafa, spokesperson for the joint forces in Darfur, told Sudan Tribune.
He said ground defences shot down around 30 drones, some carrying 120mm and 85mm shells, while others were reconnaissance drones equipped for photography. He added that the drones were flying over northeastern neighbourhoods before being intercepted and downed.
Mustafa said the joint forces destroyed 14 of the drones, while the army destroyed around 16.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] At least 21 people were killed and more than 70 injured in heavy artillery shelling by 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... 's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on a crowded market in the city of Sennar on Sunday, doctors said.
The RSF seized control of Sennar state's capital Singa in late June and has since been battling the army for control of Sennar city.
The Sudanese Doctors Network said in a statement the shelling targeted the city's main market, condemning it as a ''massacre'' of civilians.
Witnesses and military sources told Sudan Tribune the corpse count could exceed 150, with the shelling hitting the vegetable and fish markets, a public transport station and residential areas.
The RSF attack came in response to Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s by the Sudanese army on RSF positions in southern and western Sennar, as well as in Sinjah and al-Suki.
The paramilitary group has recently intensified attacks on civilian areas in Omdurman, El Fasher in North Darfur, and Sennar, leading to numerous deaths and destruction.

[PREMIUMTIMESNG] A High Court judge in Borno State, Haruna Mshelia, who was kidnapped in June, has been released.
Mr Msheila was kidnapped on 24 June by suspected members 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... , and released by his abductors on Saturday.
He was kidnapped while travelling from Biu town to Maiduguri with his wife, driver, and police orderly.
The attack, which occurred between Buratai and Gujba village, resulted in the death of his police orderly.
The judge's release was announced on a WhatsApp platform of Borno lawyers.
''Alhamdulillah, we have just received the news of the release of Justice Haruna Mshelia,'' the message read.
The statement said only Mr Mshelia was released. His wife and his driver remain in captivity. A follow-up message urged continued prayers for their safety.
It is not clear what the details of the release are and if any ransom was paid. The police are also yet to speak on the matter.
The Chairman of the NBA Maiduguri branch, Hamza Zannah, confirmed the judge's release to Humangle.
Mr Mshelia, a former private lawyer, was appointed to the Borno State Judiciary in May 2012. He was one of two High Court judges selected from private practitioners in the state. His colleague, Mohammed Fadawu, was recently elevated to the Court of Appeal in July.

[VANGUARDNGR] Survivors of the 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... massacre of worshippers at a mosque in Mafa village, Tarmuwa local government area of Yobe State have narrated their close shave with death, attributing surviving the dastardly attack to divine intervention.
Mafa is close to Shekau, the ancestral home of the late Boko Haram leader/founder, Sheikh Abubakar Shekau ....the lunatic leader of Boko Haram who was reported dead at least eleven times, pledged his body and soul to ISIS, told his fighters to hang it up once or twice, and been fired by the Caliph and refused to step down. Last seen in 2017, sneaking into Cameroon while wearing a burka. Eventually the got him, or so they say.... Recall that Boko Haram snuffies raided Mafa last Sunday around 4pm when worshippers were about to conclude their Asir prayers at a mosque and opened fire on the victims, after separating elderly and herdsmen from the congregation.
Sources revealed to Sunday Vanguard that the murderous Moslems were on a Dire Revenge mission after security operatives connived with some members of vigilantes/hunters and locals who raided one of their hideouts leading to the killing of a Commander and other Boko Haram members terrorizing Mafa and surrounding communities.
The Deputy Governor of Yobe State, Idi Barde Gubana, led government officials as well as traditional and religious leaders on Tuesday to Babbangida, the headquarters of the local government area to witnessed the burial of 34 victims recovered and brought into General Hospital Babbangida, while over 50 decomposed or mutilated bodies were given a mass burial in Mafa, as they could not be taken to Babbangida.
Gubana, who led the delegation on behalf of Governor Mai Mala Buni, who is outside the country on an official engagement, donated N30 million to victims and families of those who bit the dust and the injured ones.
The Deputy Governor, while sympathizing with the families of the victims and the villagers, prayed Allah to grant Aljannatul Firdaus to the souls of the departed, and also grant quick recovery to the injured victims.
Meanwhile,
...back at the bunker, his Excellency called the chief of staff and complained that the artillery was keeping him awake... President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Northern Governors' Forum and the military authorities have condemned the attack, assuring that more soldiers would be deployed to Yobe to counter renewed Boko Haram attacks.
One of the survivors, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said he escaped by the whiskers.
''I was lucky to come out of the mosques early, I saw them (insurgents) waiting, one of them shouted that I should go back but I bravely ran away'', he narrated.
''We counted about 87 corpses after the snuffies left, while other bodies were recovered as people ran for their dear lives to the bush. Unfortunately no security operative was present at the scene even after the attack.
''I am very grateful to Allah (God) for sparing my life as I am preparing to get married and settle down as a family man next month.''
Another survivor, who simply gave his name as Mallam Ali Isiaka and who attended the burial, said one of his sons was killed, but he thanked Allah (God) for saving his life.
He called on security agencies to do the needful as most of the people in the area are farmers who will soon start harvesting their crops. ''I thank Allah for everything. I pray that the souls of the departed including my son rest in Aljannatul Firdaus'', the survivor said.
''Most of our people here are farmers and herders. It is unfortunate that after the incident, many people fled the village, leaving their farmlands and hard earned properties due to fear of another attacks.
''We are calling on government and security agencies to come to our aid and provide protection for lives and property in Mafa and the entire Tarmuwa local government area''.
Our correspondent, however, observed that security operatives in the area had been degrading snuffies without giving adequate security cover to the community whose residents claimed that the murderous Moslems latest deadly attack was on suspicion that some members had been giving information on the modus operandi of the murderous Moslems to security agencies, hence the reprisal attack.

[Regnum] The American MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle was destroyed in the skies over Marib province by Houthi air defense systems. This was stated on September 7 by the military spokesman for the Ansar Allah movement, Yahya Saria.
“An American MQ-9 drone was shot down while it was carrying out hostile actions in the airspace of Marib province,” Al Masirah TV channel quotes him as saying.
The movement's representative clarified that this reconnaissance and strike drone was the eighth American drone of this type destroyed over Yemen since 2017.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 2, the Blue Lagoon I oil tanker under the Panama flag and the Amjad vessel under the Saudi Arabian flag were attacked in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen. Before that, Yahya Saria said that the Houthis attacked the Sounion tanker in the Red Sea and the Sw North Wind I dry cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden using UAVs, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.
The Houthis have been attacking ships linked to Israel and its allies since the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in October 2023, demanding an end to the IDF military operation in the Gaza Strip.

[JPost] A Turkish soldier was killed on Monday in a clash with fighters from the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in northern Iraq, and Turkish airstrikes killed many insurgents, the Defence Ministry said.
The airstrikes also destroyed 21 PKK targets, the ministry said in a statement without elaborating.
Ankara uses the term "neutralized" to mean killed.
The soldier was killed in a clash in the Gara region, and Turkish air forces targeted PKK bases in Gara, Hakurk, Metina, and Qandil, the ministry said.
The PKK, designated a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States, and the European Union, took up arms against the Turkish state in 1984. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the insurgency.

The Civil Emergency Service said in a statement that Morsi's death raised to 83 the number of its members killed by Israeli fire since October 7.
There was no immediate Israeli comment on Morsi's death.

[GEOTV] Jordan has closed the King Hussein bridge crossing with the occupied West Bank as it investigates a shooting incident in which three Israelis were killed, a Jordanian official told Reuters.
The incident occurred in a commercial cargo area under Israeli control where Jordanian trucks offload cargo entering the occupied West Bank from the kingdom.
[IsraelTimes] Thousands of people are celebrating on the streets of Amman, after a Jordanian truck driver killed three Israelis at the Allenby Bridge Crossing between Jordan and the West Bank this morning, claiming the gunman had avenged the deaths of thousands of Paleostinians in the war in 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... Videos posted to social media show fireworks being set off during the demonstration.
People wave Jordanian flags, and there are reports of Israeli flags being burned at the event.
Jordan has said it is investigating this morning’s terror attack, but has not yet condemned the shooting.
Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty in 1994 and have close security ties. Dozens of trucks cross daily from Jordan, with goods from Jordan and the Gulf that supply both the West Bank and Israeli markets.
[GEOTV] Israeli fighter jets completely destroy a number of residences in Khan Younis, a neighbourhood in the Gaza city, reports Al Jazeera.
Two Palestinians have been killed in the attack, a woman and her daughter. The attack has left the area destroyed with rubble scattered around the location.
[GEOTV] The Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, confirms on its Telegram channel that it has launched drone attacks at the Al-Zaourah compound of the Israeli military also targeting its Iron Domes, as per Al Jazeera.
The Iron Domes have the capability to shoot down incoming drones or missiles from the opposing territory.
The group confirms that it directly hit, killed and wounded Israeli soldiers.
Hezbollah says that this attack was in retaliation of Israel's attack on Southern Lebanese villages and towns including the Khirbet Selm which was earlier struck with three missiles from the Israeli army warplanes.

[Breitbart] Indonesian police have arrested seven people allegedly connected to an Islamic terror plot to attack Pope Francis
...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. That was to show how humble he is. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... during his visit to the country.
The coordinated arrests took place in Jakarta, the outlying cities of Bogor and Bekasi, the West Sumatra province, and the Bangka Belitung Islands province, according to a statement Indonesia’s national counterterrorism squad, Detachment-88, released Friday.
The statement included the initials of those detained — HFP, LB, DF, FA, HS, ER, and RS — and specified that the majority of the arrests occurred on September 2 and 3.
Detachment-88 front man Colonel Aswin Siregar said it is not yet clear if the seven suspects know each other or are members of the same terror cell.
"We have a mechanism to monitor and filter. We had tip-off information from members of the public," Aswin said.
Aswin told news hounds that legal action has been taken against the seven individuals "who made threats in the form of propaganda or terror threats via social media in response to the pope’s arrival."
"There was also a threat to set fire to the locations," he added.
One source told local media that the would-be assailants were upset about Pope Francis’s visit to Jakarta’s Istiqlal mosque as well as the government’s request that television stations refrain from the usual broadcasting of azan (Islamic call to prayer) while the pope’s visit was being broadcast live.
The source also said that some of those arrested had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... and that searches conducted in the house of one of the detainees yielded bows and arrows, a drone, and ISIS leaflets.
"One of the arrested is a bad boy who belongs to the same terror group that attacked Wiranto," the source said, referring to Indonesia’s former chief security minister, whom two Islamist Lions of Islam stabbed in 2019.
Pope Francis famously denied the existence of Islamic terrorism in 2017. "Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Moslem terrorism does not exist. They do not exist," he said.
The pope departed from Indonesia Friday to continue his 12-day trip in Southeast Asia, landing in Papua New Guinea. Later, he will travel to East Timor and Singapore.
[NAHARNET] Hezbollah said Sunday that it staged two separate rocket attacks on Israel's Kiryat Shmona and a third on the Shamir settlement further north, in response to the "massacre" in the southern town of Froun that killed three Lebanese Civil Defense members and wounded two others.
On Saturday, Lebanon's health ministry said three emergency responders were killed and two others wounded, one of them critically, in an Israeli strike on Froun.
The ministry said the attack had targeted "a Lebanese civil defense team that was putting out fires sparked by the recent Israeli strikes," while the Israeli military said it had "eliminated terrorists" from the Hezbollah-allied Amal Movement in Froun.
Lebanon's civil defense agency said three of its employees were killed in "an Israeli strike that targeted a firefighting vehicle after they had finished a firefighting mission."
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the attack, saying in a statement that "this new aggression against Lebanon is a blatant violation of international laws... and human values."
The Israeli military on Sunday morning announced it had carried out a series of air strikes on "Hezbollah military structures" and intercepted projectiles launched from Lebanon during the night.
In Froun on Saturday, an Israeli military statement claimed Israeli forces "struck and eliminated" Amal members who "operated within a Hezbollah military structure." The Amal movement for its part said two of its members were among the three Lebanese Civil Defense emergency responders killed in Saturday's strike. It said they were killed "while carrying out their humanitarian and national duty defending Lebanon and the south."
The Lebanese health ministry statement condemned the "blatant Israeli attack that targeted a team from an official body of the Lebanese state."
It added that the attack was "the second of its kind against an emergency team in less than 12 hours."
