[AFRICANEWS] 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... ese army and its rival paramilitary force resumed peace talks last week in a new push to end the nearly seven-month conflict between Sudan’s warring factions.
The revived talks between representatives from the Sudanese army, led by Abdel-Fattah Burhan, and the Rapid Support Force paramilitary, commanded by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, are underway in the Saudi coastal city of Jeddah, the kingdom’s foreign ministry said in a statement Tursday (Oct. 26). The talks are being brokered by both Riyadh and Washington, the statement said.
The RSF and the army both confirmed on Wednesday (Oct. 25) that they would participate in the talks.
Sudan was plunged into chaos in mid-April, when simmering tensions between the military and the RSF went kaboom! into open warfare in the capital, Khartoum, and other areas across the east African nation.
The conflict has reduced the capital, Khartoum, and other urban areas into battlefields, wrecking the country’s already dilapidated infrastructure.
The previous peace talks were held in Jeddah earlier this year but broke down in late June. Washington and Riyadh accused both sides of failing to abide by cease-fire deals they had agreed to. Since April there have been at least 9 temporary cease-fire deals and all have foundered.
In its statement, the Saudi foreign ministry said it hoped the fresh negotiations will lead to another cease-fire agreement and also a political agreement that will "return security, stability and prosperity for Sudan and its people."
More than 9,000 people have been killed in the conflict, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data project, which tracks Sudan’s war.
The fighting has driven over 4.5 million people to flee their homes to other places inside Sudan and more than 1.2 million to seek refuge in neighboring countries, the U.N. migration agency says.

[KavkazUzel] Police in Cherkessk drew up reports of administrative violations against 34 participants in the protest against the arrival of refugees from Israel.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on October 28, a rally was held in Cherkessk in front of the government house of Karachay-Cherkessia , the participants of which called for not allowing refugees from Israel into the republic and organizing a collection of aid for Palestine. The rally participants stated that 500 people gathered at the rally. “We, five hundred people, ask for an official response to our appeal within two days,” they said.
Muslims of the North Caucasus did not remain indifferent to the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Thus, in Chechnya, the clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine; on October 28, the Muftiate of Dagestan reported on thousands of participants in prayers for the Palestinians. In Khasavyurt on October 28, security forces stopped an action against the arrival of refugees from Israel.
The police stopped an “unauthorized public event in the form of a rally,” which took place on October 28 in Cherkessk on Lenin Square, the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Karachay-Cherkessia reported today.
According to the police, not 500, but 80 people took part in the action. “The illegal actions of those gathered were stopped by police officers. 34 violators were taken to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the city of Cherkessk, where administrative protocols were drawn up against them on the grounds of an offense under Article 20.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (Violation of the established procedure for organizing or holding a meeting, rally, demonstration, procession or picketing). The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of a fine from 10 to 30 thousand rubles. Violation of public order and security was not allowed," says the publication on the ministry's website.
The police warned of administrative and criminal liability for participation in unauthorized mass events and reminded “the inadmissibility of violations of the law during meetings, rallies, demonstrations, processions and picketing.”
“Any attempts to violate public order will be immediately suppressed, and those responsible will be brought to justice in accordance with Russian legislation,” the message says.
You can read about who and how in the regions of the North Caucasian Federal District expressed support for Palestine in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus .”
Muslims in the North Caucasus republics mostly sympathize with Palestine, but support has not become unconditional , and the topic of the conflict is not the main one in society, scientists, activists and journalists from the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District previously interviewed by the Caucasian Knot indicated.
The Coordination Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus, commenting on the action held on October 28 in Cherkessk and calls to not allow refugees from Israel, called anti-Semitic actions unacceptable and called not to regard the opinion of their participants as the opinion of the people.
The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching the Iron Swords military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides .
The Islamic movement Hamas is recognized as terrorist in a number of countries: in particular, France and the European Union added it to the list of terrorist groups after the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg.
There have been a string of anti-Jewish incidents in Russia’s southern Muslim-majority regions, since the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas began, earlier this month.
Media sources in Moscow believe the unrest has been encouraged by Ukraine-based Telegram channels running information war operations.
...The unrest at the airport prompted a massive police response, with dozens of law enforcement vehicles spotted at the scene. Police clad in riot gear entered the airport, detaining multiple protesters, footage circulating online suggests. Some 20 people, including at least six police officers, were injured in clashes, according to local health authorities
Because Vlad really wants Jews - there are ads in all Russian language newspapers in Israel.

What does he want Jews for, Grom? Given that he just called in representatives of Iran and Hamas in support of Hamas — that’s not the kind of thing that would make Russian Israelis feel welcome, surely.

Ah. Spain and Portugal tried that in 2015, calling for applicants who could document that they were direct descendants of those who’d been expelled in 1492 (Spain) and 1497 (Portugal). Of 239,000 applications between the two countries, 90,000 were given citizenship — 36,000 by Spain and 54,000 by Portugal. It will be interesting to see how many actually move there and what effect they have.
[GEO.TV] On the day before the Khalistan Referendum, a large rally was held in Surrey, British Columbia, with members of the Sikh community marching for a two-kilometre distance carrying Khalistan flags.
The rally was held against India and a centre for voting was established at the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara.
During the rally, the participants rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud such as "Delhi bane ka khalasa," "Lay keh Rahain gay khalasa," "Punjab Banay Ga Khalistan" and "Azad Khalistan," with enthusiasm and fervour.
The participants also demanded justice for Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar, urging the authorities to take action against his killers.
The attendants appreciated the stance of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ...hereditary prime minister of the Great White North... who has publicly accused India of killing the Sikh leader and hunting several other Canadian Sikhs, condemning state terrorism ... any action taken by a non-Moslem state that constrains the violent impulses of Moslems or their allies ... by the Indian government that occurred within Canada.
Rally participants vowed to preserve the values and vision of Nijjar, who met a tragic end at the hands of Indian agents in June. They passionately rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud such as "Hardeep Nijjar tera khatil kon? Hindustan, Hindustan!"
Looking ahead, several thousand Sikhs are set to take part in the upcoming October 29 (Sunday) referendum. A mere three months ago, 135,000 Sikhs rallied in support of the Sikh cause at Gurunanak Sikh Gurdwara in British Columbia.
Addressing the Council of Khalistan, President Dr Bakhshish Singh Sandhu stated that the Sikh nation is seeking from India the identical right employed by India during the annexation of the Junagadh state in 1948.
He said the global community stands in solidarity with the Sikh nation in their pursuit of Punjab's freedom, which they intend to achieve through a referendum, wherein the right to vote would be exercised.

[Regnum] International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan said Israel was committing a moral and legal violation in Gaza. The court documented cases of crimes committed by the IDF in the region. This was announced by Palestinian government spokesman Ibrahim Milhem in a comment to Al-Qahera al-Ekhbariya TV channel.
Milhem called on the ICC to contribute to the investigation of crimes, in particular genocide, to which Palestinians are subjected.
The ICC prosecutor's office began an investigation into possible war crimes in Palestine back in 2021.
Alleged crimes in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict fall under the mandate of the prosecutor's office.
As Regnum reported, the Russian Foreign Ministry previously noted that the decisions of the International Criminal Court in The Hague do not have any significance for the Russian Federation. Russia does not recognize the ICC and its jurisdiction. The ICC is not part of the official UN structures and has no relation to the International Court of Justice, which also sits in The Hague.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized on October 29 for his dissatisfaction with the work of the intelligence services, which did not warn him about the Hamas attack. He admitted he was wrong to accuse them of failing to communicate the militants' intentions "under any circumstances or at any stage."
14 thousand civilians are taking refuge in the Al-Quds hospital in the Gaza Strip, which was shelled by the Israeli army.
On October 29, Israel launched a strike on the outskirts of the Al-Quds Hospital in the Gaza Strip. On the eve of the attack, the hospital management received a warning from the Israeli military about their intention to strike the hospital.

[Fortune] As the 3-week-old Israel-Hamas war enters what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says could be a "long and difficult" new stage, President Joe Biden is calling on Israeli and Arab leaders to think hard about their eventual postwar reality.
It’s one, he argues, where finally finding agreement on a long-sought two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict should be a priority.
"There’s no going back to the status quo as it stood on Oct. 6," Biden told reporters, referring to the day before Hamas militants attacked Israel and set off the latest war. The White House says Biden conveyed the same message directly to Netanyahu during a telephone call this past week.
"It also means that when this crisis is over, there has to be a vision of what comes next, and in our view it has to be a two-state solution," Biden said.
The push for a two-state solution — one in which Israel would co-exist with an independent Palestinian state — has eluded U.S. presidents and Middle East diplomats for decades. It’s been put on the back burner since the last American-led effort at peace talks collapsed in 2014 amid disagreements on Israeli settlements, the release of Palestinian prisoners and other issues.
Palestinian statehood is something that Biden rarely addressed in the early going of his administration. During his visit to the West Bank last year, Biden said the "ground is not ripe" for new attempts to reach a permanent peace even as he reiterated to Palestinians the long-held U.S. support for statehood.
Now, at a moment of heightened concern that the Israel-Hamas war could spiral into a broader regional conflict, Biden has begun to emphasize that once the bombing and shooting stop, working toward a Palestinian state should no longer be ignored.

The kindom of Transjordania was created by the British Mandate authorities to be a home for Arabs living in Palestine. (at the time Jews living there were called "Palestinians")

/\ The Cackler takes her on when Biden gives it up, or Biden takes her on then steps (or is hauled) off the stage. Too much media coverage of her to NOT be happening.

This complex conflict has been boiling over for 70 years, but Joe Biden has been solving problems like race relations in the US for 50 years. This is Joe’s time to shine. Nobody has tried putting a total moron in charge before.

Isn't this what we have had for the last 20 years or so? Gaza, as far as I know, has been self-governing for some time.

How do we get to a two state solution?
I recall when the Jews removed themselves from Gaza, it was billed as Land for Peace. After that disengagement, Hamas used the new lands to launch rocket attacks.
Fool me once, right?
So how do we get to a two state solution. I dont see a path with the current peace partners.
[HotAir] When Israel cut off most of the supplies, fuel, and electricity going into Gaza, they did so for very strategic reasons. At the same time, they cut off most communications inside of the Gaza Strip as well. There were plenty of complaints about this from the usual suspects, but military strategists have remarked on the effectiveness of the strategy. Now, however, a new player is entering the field. Elon Musk announced this weekend that he would be providing Starlink connectivity in Gaza. For the time being, he’s saying that he will only be offering the service to "internationally recognized aid groups" and the United Nations. But it seems rather obvious that Hamas will figure out a way to use this to their advantage against Israel.
...Musk freely admits that if he does this he will be doing it of his own volition. Nobody has contacted Starlink asking for service in Gaza. And it’s unlikely that the Palestinians would have any money to pay for the service even if they desired it. So what is it that Musk is up to here?
...It seems fairly clear that a lack of communications in the region is probably hampering civilian relief efforts by the UN and other groups. I’m sure it’s hard to organize the distribution of aid without being able to effectively stay in touch and direct resources to where they’re needed. And Musk has figured out how to operate his system in a war zone before. He’s been running Starlink for the Ukrainians almost since the beginning of the Russian invasion. But the Starlink ground stations require power to operate and the Israelis have also cut off almost all of the electricity.
...It feels like Elon Musk just can’t help himself. Whenever there is a major event that’s generating all of the headlines for a period of time, it seems like Musk and one or more of his companies wind up being involved. We saw it in Ukraine and now the same thing may play out in the Gaza Strip. Israel has already begun turning some limited communications back on, but they are attempting to strategically hinder Hamas. A lack of communications will make it harder for them to orchestrate the movement of rockets and fighters around the country. If an available communications channel opens up, they will no doubt find a way to use it for themselves. Perhaps Elon Musk should just sit this one out and not interfere in Israel’s counteroffensive. Stick to

Some men have shared their visions. Unfortunately, these men appear to be difficult to find today.
"I am collecting the history of our people as written into things their hands made and used .... When we are through, we shall have reproduced American life as lived, and that, I think, is the best way of preserving at least a part of our history and tradition."

Isn't Elon Musk in something of a No-Win here? If he provides Starlink connection to (quote)relief groups(un-quote) he is a Bad Guy and if he doesn't ...he's a Bad Guy. It looks like he just decided to get ahead of the PR Curve and incidentally score some free publicity.
