[SUDANTRIBUNE] On Thursday, 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 Air Force intensified its air sorties south of Khartoum, while the intensity of artillery shelling between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) increased in several areas of Khartoum, resulting in casualties and injuries.
Military aircraft bombed RSF positions in the vicinity of the Sports City, south of Khartoum, on Thursday evening, and in the area south of the belt, which includes the al-Azhari and Mayo neighbourhoods.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing flames rising from multiple locations south and west of the Sports City, and RSF soldiers were seen quickly evacuating the area.
Military aircraft also bombed RSF sites in the al-Manshiya neighbourhood, east of Khartoum, near the al-Manshiya Bridge linking Khartoum and the East Nile locality.
The escalation of fighting in Khartoum comes after the RSF seized control of the Jabal Aulia area, despite the destruction of the bridge that serves as a critical supply route from western Sudan.
Simultaneously, the RSF are mobilizing in Darfur, preparing to launch an attack on the North Darfur capital El Fasher, while armed movements aligned with the Sudanese army are massing tribal fighters to counter any foreseen assaults.

"Simultaneously, the RSF are mobilizing in Darfur, preparing to launch an attack on the North Darfur capital El Fasher, while armed movements aligned with the Sudanese army [read Misseriya and Rizaqat Arab] are massing tribal fighters to counter any foreseen assaults." If El Fasher falls then western Sudan is lost to the Arabs.
[SUDANTRIBUNE] In an unprecedented convergence of gangs, two holdout groups have arrived in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State, to join forces with the pace groups and 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 in protecting civilians from any attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Youssef Karjola, Chief of Staff of the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Abdel Wahid Nur (SLM-AW), and Abdallah Banda, head of the Sudanese Justice and Equality Forces (SJEF), arrived in El Fasher on Friday at the head of large military contingents.
The move comes amid heightened tensions in the region, as the RSF paramilitary forces have amassed troops outside El Fasher in preparation for a possible attack. El Fasher is the only major city in North Darfur that is not under RSF control.
Karjola was welcomed by several leaders of the joint forces affiliated with the Juba Peace Agreement signatories, including Sudanese Army Lieutenant Colonel al-Sadiq al-Fakka. al-Fakka is a former SLM-AW member who defected and signed a peace agreement with the North Darfur government in 2017, subsequently receiving the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Sudanese army.
In response to the RSF’s threat, three gangs that are signatories to the Juba Peace Agreement have also bolstered their military presence in El Fasher. These groups led by Minnin Minnawi, Gibril Ibrahim and Mustafa Tambour have pledged to work with the Sudanese army to repel any attack on the city.
The arrival of Karjola and Banda marks the first time since the SLM split in 2004 that a large number of gangs have come together to defend civilians in Darfur.
This show of unity of Darfur gangs, despite their past differences, underscores the shared goal of protecting civilians from the RSF’s brutal tactics. A military source in El Fasher, referring to the impending confrontation, has termed it the "Dignity battle."
"Coordination efforts have been made to ensure Karjola’s presence in El Fasher, putting aside old differences, to join his comrades in protecting civilians," emphasized the sources.
The SLM-AW, a holdout faction that has refused negotiations with the transitional government, maintains control over significant areas in Jebel Marra, spanning South and Central Darfur.
In a separate development, SJEF leader Abdallah Banda, an individual wanted by the International Criminal Court, arrived in El Fasher at the helm of a substantial military force originating from Libya. Despite not being a signatory to the peace agreement, Banda has expressed his support for the Sudanese army in its struggle against the RSF.
On November 16, the SLM faction led by Minni Arko Minawi and the Justice and Equality Movement, led by Gibril Ibrahim, also announced their participation in military operations alongside the Sudanese army to protect civilians. While Tambour’s group has joined the army for several months.
However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... the SLM-Transitional Council, headed by al-Hadi Idris, and the head of the Gathering of Sudan Liberation Forces, al-Tahir Hajer, have maintained a neutral stance towards the conflict, refraining from aligning with any of the warring parties.

Egypt is the only real country - not created by Sykes-Picot curving up of Turkish Empire - in the Arab world. Also, the only one that managed to produce real Arab intellectuals.
[IsraelTimes] US pro-Paleostinian demonstrators have held a loud protest outside a vacation home of AIPAC president Michael Tuchin in Los Angeles, setting off smoke bombs and branding him a "baby killer."
They also spilled red paint outside the home, signifying blood, and chanted "Fuck your holiday" at the head of the pro-Israel lobby.

"Now that HAMAS is getting tit for tat and its A$$ handed to it. The Iranian & Qatar funded Pro-HAMAS Racist demonstrators are staging a series of violent social gatherings along with their friends in the Main Stream Media.
The goal is to deflect attention and blame from HAMAS for its well documented murderous racial attacks, to the actual Victims."

Baby Killers - that would be Plan Parenthood that does about 1000x the business here and is supported by the likes who post crappy commentary and the Donks. Given the states of CA and NY allow butchery up to (and probably right after) birth, it makes funding preemie wards a bit redundant if they're not human. I detect a Grand Canyon hole in the selective virtue flashing.
[NYPOST] Around 2,000 protesters gathered for a pro-Paleostinian rally at Washington Square Park Friday with a laundry list of demands, including calling for a "permanent end to the occupation" 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 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... and dismantling the Israeli government.The assembled crowd railed against Israel’s ongoing military campaign in the Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... -controlled territory, waving Paleostinian flags and holding up signs bearing messages like "Free Paleostine," "Cease fire now" and "Israel thinks killing babies is collateral damage."
Protesters called on people to rebel against Black Friday by disrupting it and boycotting companies that support Israel. Chants from the crowd included, "1, 2, 3, 4, Occupation no more. 5, 6, 7, 8, Israel is a racist state," and "From the river to the sea, Paleostine will be free," which the Anti-Defamation League classifies as an antisemitic slogan.
The rally included members of multiple organizations, such as the Paleostinian Youth Movement, National Students for Justice in Paleostine, The People’s Forum, Nodutdol, al-Awda-NY, the Paleostinian American Community Center (PACC) — NJ, the ANSWER coalition and the International Peoples’ Assembly.
Manolo De Los Santos, a member of The People’s Forum, told The Post that his group showed up at the protest because they "refuse to be silenced," and consider Israel responsible for the war.

first, there has to be a Gaza to 'occupies'
First there's no more 'Gaza'.
Palestinian have proven they cannot govern themself and maintain any semblance of peace, so they lost it all. Current Palestinians would be moved elsewhere!

#1, Palestinians moving elsewhere--but no one, and I mean no one, wants them.
Just how many refugees has Egypt (which does border Gaza) admitted?

{Darth Vader Voice} "Your terms are accepted."
Bring in the bulldozers and then the Strip Mining Remediation teams. Within a year or two the Gaza Mediterranean Wildlife Sanctuary can open as a habitat for birds and native species.
"Why, yes, we can create a 'desolation' and call it peace!"
While you're at it, you might as well start paving Gaza. When President Trump invokes the War Powers act to build the "Peace" resort hotel complex, we'll need parking. With a little work and a lot less fighting, the place could be a paradise AND an economic engine. That is a better state than being a deleted expletive on the world's bum as it is now.

The [WH] officials said, "We don’t expect any Americans to be released today but remain hopeful" some will be released in the coming days.
"We don't know when that will occur, but we're going to expect it to occur," Biden said while addressing the release of hostages from his vacation in Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Fox (Rooters report) just said Hamas is not going thru with Day 2 releases
Frank, after Israel threatened to immediately restart the war this afternoon when there was no sign of today’s shipment, this happened late in the evening over there:
[IsraelTimes] Overnight, the IDF demolished the home of Kamel Abu Bakr, the terrorist behind a deadly Tel Aviv shooting in August, in the West Bank village of Rummanah. Abu Bakr killed Tel Aviv patrolman Chen Amir.
Separately, during an arrest raid in the Aqbar Jabr refugee camp near Jericho, the IDF says troops killed Mohammed Hinnawi, an Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... operative who "recruited a military squad and carried out several shooting attacks against IDF forces in recent months."
The IDF says it seized an assault rifle and military equipment in Hinnawi’s car.
Tensions in the West Bank have been high since Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... ’s October 7 onslaught on southern Israel and subsequent fighting in the 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... Strip. The IDF says troops have arrested some 1,950 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,100 affiliated with Hamas, since the war began.
[IsraelTimes] AP reports that Israeli troops fatally shot two Paleostinians and maimed 11 others as they headed toward the main combat zone in northern 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... despite warnings by the Israeli army to stay put.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
An News Agency that Dare Not be Named journalist says he saw two bodies and the maimed as they arrived at a hospital in the town of Deir al-Balah in the southern half of Gaza. The injured had been shot in the legs.
The shooting came hours after the Israeli military warned hundreds of thousands of displaced Paleostinians who sought refuge in southern Gaza not to attempt to return to their homes in the northern half of the territory, the focus of Israel’s ground offensive. The military had dropped leaflets on southern Gaza saying that returning to northern Gaza is prohibited and dangerous.
Despite this, since a four-day truce went into effect this morning, between hundreds and thousands of Paleostinians were seen trying to head to northern Gaza. The military said it responded with riot dispersal measures to attempts to move north. Witnesses asserted that troops opened fire in some cases.
[IsraelTimes] Members of Paleostinian gangs in the West Bank city of Tulkarem have reportedly executed two men accused of spying for Israel. Wrong ones. Try again
Pictures on social media show the bodies of the two men hanging from an electricity poll.
Two men were lynched in the West Bank on Friday after being accused of collaborating with Israel. The alleged "spies" were murdered in the street while others filmed the carnage. Their bodies were then hung from a tower as a large crowd cheered in approval.
Tweeted videos at the link.
Pro-Palestinian accounts on social media celebrated the killings by claiming it was an act of resistance, though no evidence has emerged to confirm the claims that the two men were actually spies working for Israel.
That this happened in the ostensibly more moderate West Bank says everything about the possibility of a "two-state solution," something that President Joe Biden again pushed following the release of the first group of hostages. The Palestinian Authority pretends to be more level-headed than its Hamas allies, but the reality is that more people in the West Bank support Hamas than those who actually live under their rule in Gaza.
Now ask yourself, how could a two-state solution be garnered with people who operate this way? Who do you even negotiate with when the streets are ruled by various terrorist factions who lynch people in the streets, hang them from electrical towers, and cheer their demise in such a deranged fashion?
The great irony of the global left being pro-Palesitian is that they are supporting the establishment of a fundamentalist Islamic state that murders people in the streets and deprives others of basic rights. A two-state solution is not going to result in a secular utopia where all live side-by-side. Rather, it's going to create another Afghanistan, except it'll exist on the borders of Israel.
That's an outcome that's untenable given the security situation at play. Those in the West Bank and Gaza have had decades to show they are viable peace partners deserving of a state. Instead, they've settled on intifadas punctuated by violent terrorism. They made their own bed, and until the reality on the ground changes, they will be made to lay in it.
Videos from the scene showed crowds chanting “traitors” at the men and “Allahu Akbar” (“God is greatest”). It is not clear where Palestinian Authority security forces were during the events.
The two were identified as Hamza Mubarak, 31, and Azam Juabra, 29. They were accused of providing Israel with information that led to a recent counter-terror raid that killed six as Israel clashed with local terror operatives.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says troops have arrested some 1,850 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,100 affiliated with Hamas, since the war began.
[IsraelTimes] The body of a Hamas ...always the voice of sweet reason... terrorist was found in the rubble of the Sderot cop shoppe almost 7 weeks after the terror group’s onslaught against southern Israel.
The cop shoppe in the southern city was the site of fierce battles during and after the October 7 invasion, as bandidosDeath Eaters holed up inside the building and Israel bulldozed it during the ensuing battle.
According to the Sderot municipality, the body was found during construction work to restore the sewage system that was damaged during the firefight. Police and explosives experts were called to the scene and neutralized the weapons found on the body before it was removed from the scene.

[Regnum] Since October 17, US troops at bases in Syria and Iraq have been attacked 73 times, a Pentagon spokesman said on CNN on November 24 .
On Thanksgiving Day alone, which is celebrated in the United States on November 23, there were four attacks on military personnel. It is stated that there were no casualties or damage.
During this period, US forces were attacked 37 times in Syria and 36 in Iraq.
The attacks began after conflict in the Middle East escalated. There are currently almost 900 US military personnel in Syria, and about 2.5 thousand are stationed in Iraq.
The Pentagon says it has contained any escalatory moves that could widen the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, despite continued attacks on US forces.
As Regnum reported , the US Department of Defense is concerned that the strategy chosen by the White House to counter attacks on American bases in the Middle East is not yielding results. The number of attacks on the military is growing, The Washington Post noted.
The Lebanese TV channel Al-Mayadeen reported on November 13 that Americans were killed as a result of strikes in eastern Syria. US military personnel at the Koniko oil field became victims of a missile attack.
In addition, in northeastern Syria in Hasakah, three drones attacked the American al-Shaddadi base.
In total, the Pentagon has 24 military bases and four points in Syria.

Well the Obama/Biden/LSD/MIC Assoc. does need a war to save any hope of retaining some power and $$$$ after 2024.
Given DOD recruitment is way down.
Wouldn't an OCONUS war/conflict drain off what we do have? Thus making it easier to launch 5th column attack using the 18 to 30 Anti-USA & illegals already here?
All the LSD's need is some more Citizen Gun and Ammo Controls or staged shortages to insure success.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
