[SUDANTRIBUNE] Two prominent leaders in the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) coalition called on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander, Mohammed Hamdan Daglo "Hemetti," to immediately cease the human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... violations committed by his forces in al-Jazirah State.
The RSF took control of the region in late 2023 without resistance, but reports soon emerged of widespread abuses against civilians, including killings, looting, forced occupation of homes, humiliation, and conflict-related sexual violence.
In a press statement, Yasir Arman, a leading figure in the FFC, urged Hemetti to "condemn the crimes perpetrated by his forces on the island and take tangible steps to bring them to an end."
He warned of the escalating violence, stating, "These actions risk pushing the al-Jazirah’s youth to take up arms in self-defence, potentially fulfilling the plans of remnant elements seeking to reignite ethnic conflict. It is imperative to prevent 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... from descending further into an ethnic war, which would be even more destructive than the current conflict."
Arman advocated for a comprehensive meeting between the RSF leadership, politicians, civil society representatives, and tribal leaders from al-Jazirah State. He emphasized the need for swift action to stop the violations, establish clear internal mechanisms for accountability within the RSF, and develop a concrete plan for the removal of armed holy warriors from villages and residential areas.
"The ongoing war is fueled by the remnants of the previous regime who seek to exploit ethnic tensions," Arman asserted. "The RSF’s actions of killing and looting civilians only serve their agenda."
He further warned against the broader economic and social repercussions of these violations, citing the financial devastation faced by the middle class in Khartoum, the aerial bombardments of civilians in various regions, and the overall destabilization of the country.

[KavkazUzel] The appellate court upheld the sentences of four residents of Dagestan, sentenced to long terms in a colony for participation in a cell of a terrorist organization.
The Military Court of Appeal upheld the verdict of the Southern District Military Court handed down on March 31, 2023 in the criminal case of Dagestan residents Nasukhov, Rasulov, Gadzhimuradov and Nazhmudinov, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee reported on February 29 on its website.
The four defendants were found guilty of facilitating terrorist activities, organizing and participating in a terrorist community, participating in a terrorist organization, as well as illegal trafficking in weapons, ammunition, explosives and illegal manufacturing of weapons.
According to the investigation and the court, “in January 2019, Nasukhov I.M. created and subsequently led a clandestine cell of the international terrorist organization “Islamic State.” “The cell was distinguished by careful planning of criminal activities, a well-thought-out system of measures for its own security and conspiracy, as well as distribution roles between its participants. From October to December 2019, Nasukhov I.M., Rasulov S.Kh., Gadzhimuradov A.G. and Nazhmudinov N.N. detained... During the arrest, explosives and ammunition were found and confiscated from members of the group,” the publication says.
The court sentenced Nasukhov to 17.5 years in prison, Gadzhimuradov and Nazhmudinov to 17 years, and Rasulov to 16 years in prison. “The convicts will serve their sentences in a high-security correctional colony,” the committee said.

[NY Post] I'm sure this is just another hobbyist balloon from China America
Alaskan fishermen found what US officials will investigate as a potential spy balloon.
The commercial fishing vessel will bring the questionable object to shore sometime this weekend, three sources told CNN Friday.
The FBI will meet the ship when it arrives in port and take the unknown object to the agency’s lab in Quantico, Va., the outlet reported.
While the sources stressed to CNN that they do not know what the object is, the FBI said it resembles surveillance balloons used by foreign nations enough to look into further.
"The FBI is aware of debris found off the coast of Alaska by a commercial fishing vessel," the agency told The Post Friday night.

A shame the US government cares more about who rules some obscure eastern province of Ukraine than your own southern border
Why is the US military not guarding the border? Surely its entire reason for existing is to defend US borders?
Unless of course it isnt really your military anymore at all, just answers to a global cartel of corporates and billionaires, to protect their supply chaims and profits?
#4
Perhaps the budget of the pentagon, military and security state should be immediately cut to zero
Just close the doors, remove the security clearances, mothball the hardware
And send funds to a border force to defend US territory instead?
Ie their actual job?
Start again from scratch
No more mansions for the useless eaters of north virginia?
[IsraelTimes] Arab nations have failed to get immediate support for a UN Security Council statement that would have blamed Israeli forces for opening fire at Paleostinians waiting for the delivery of food and other humanitarian aid near 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... City and killing dozens of people.
Riyad Mansour, the Paleostinian UN ambassador, tells news hounds after an emergency closed council meeting on the deaths, that 14 of the 15 council members supported the statement put forward by Algeria, the Arab representative on the body.
The United States did not support the statement and US deputy ambassador Robert Wood tells a news hound who questions why, "We don’t have all the facts on the ground — that’s the problem."
He says there are contradictory reports and the US is trying to gather all the facts, including regarding the "circumstances around how people died" which is a key issue.
[WIRE] On Friday, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro sounded off on the Biden administration leaning toward letting the Palestinian Authority run the Gaza Strip.
"You know what Americans don’t like very much?" he asked. "When American allies lose. They do not like when America basically fosters terrorist victory ... The media may be disquieted by the ugliness of war, but the American people genuinely don’t like when America’s enemies, people who hate America, win. We don’t like war in our faces all the time. But there’s something we like even less, and that is losing wars."
"The media have basically controlled American foreign policy for four decades at this point. When America goes to war, the media immediately opines that the war is very ugly, very ugly."
"But here’s the problem. America’s enemies know that war is ugly and they know that Americans care that war is ugly — and so they attempt to leverage that. That’s exactly what Hamas is doing right now," he continued. "The way Hamas wins is not by winning. Hamas has only one plan to survive: Get enough Palestinian civilians killed that they can, then get the international community to pressure Israel to preserving Hamas. And we don’t actually have straight statistics from inside the Gaza Strip because Hamas is providing them, and Hamas lies all the time."

[IsraelTimes] First aid delivery operation to occur in coming days and continue over weeks ahead, says White House; US to also consider ’marine corridor’ for humanitarian aid deliveries.
Even though they’ve admitted this is a terribly ineffective way to deliver aid. You do you, guys!
How about instead, the US Food & Basic Supplies for USA citizens and issue a real COLA for those just trying to survive the DC SWAMP's Inflationary causing spending habits?
Let IRAN pony up for GAZA since they formed and financed HAMAS?
[IsraelTimes] After three months of fighting in Khan Younis, the IDF has withdrawn the Paratroopers Brigade from 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, replacing it with other forces in the area.
"Paratroopers Brigade, be proud of the many achievements you have achieved," says the commander of the 98th Division, Brig. Gen. Dan Goldfus during a ceremony this morning.
"We have not yet finished the war and our duties, we continue to dismantle Hamas ...always the voice of sweet reason... , destroy its systems above and below ground, strike it and defeat it," he adds.
The Bislamach Brigade — the IDF’s School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders — will replace the Paratroopers Brigade in Khan Younis.
The IDF will decide in the coming days where the Paratroopers Brigade will be sent next.
Life as usual continues. Even in the midst of war, the idiots hew to their particular idiocies.
[IsraelTimes] The illegal West Bank outposts of Sde Yonatan and Or Meir are evacuated and demolished by personnel from the Defense Ministry’s Civil Administration agency and Border Police officers, with several dozen officials dismantling rudimentary homes and sheep pens.
Sde Yonatan, close to the settlement of Michmash, northeast of Jerusalem, was built on private Paleostinian land, the Civil Administration says, and has been established and demolished several times in the last two years.
It was most recently demolished on December 26 last year.
Or Meir, situated close to the Ofra settlement not far from Michmash, was also established on private Paleostinian land. It too was recently demolished, with Civil Administration forces last removing the outpost on December 25.
The two outposts were inhabited by young settler activists who raised sheep on the surrounding land and were preparing the sites for greater numbers of settlers to take up residence, according to settler activists.
[IsraelTimes] Taking questions at his presser, Netanyahu is asked whether Defense Minister Yoav Gallant consulted with him before declaring yesterday that he would not advance any legislation on the IDF draft that does not resolve the issue of Haredi service to the satisfaction of all coalition parties. Netanyahu is reminded that the last time Gallant spoke out without consulting him — a year ago, when the defense minister warned that national divisions over the judicial overhaul had entered the IDF and constituted a tangible threat to Israeli security — he fired him.
Netanyahu dodges the question, and repeats that "the worst thing that could happen to us is a general election in mid-war," which would spell "defeat in the war."
"I am sure that the defense minister is aware of the implications of general elections and the grave danger to the State of Israel" if the war goals are not achieved. "So I’m sure we’ll find a solution."
He says the IDF has a clear plan for fighting in Rafah, including for evacuating civilians, and that it will be presented to the full cabinet.
Asked about US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run.... reportedly calling him an asshole and saying he is running the war with political considerations in mind, Netanyahu says the White House denied this. "Whether there were such denigrations, or briefings about them," he adds, "doesn’t influence me in the slightest."
Asked about National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s efforts to impose restrictions on prayer for Arab Israelis at the al-Aqsa compound on the Temple Mount during Ramadan, Netanyahu says "There was a preparatory discussion" at which Ben Gvir spoke his mind, and that "we will have an additional discussion at the start of next week."
"Ultimately, we ensure freedom of worship, in accordance with security conditions. We have no intention of stopping Moslem freedom of worship," he says. If Israel were not sovereign on Temple Mount, he adds, there would not be freedom of worship for the three faiths.
He says he has discussed his plans for boosting Haredi service with several Haredi MKs, and there are additional contacts. "There is a change [in their mindset] and an understanding that we have to shift to a different phase." What’s needed is "a framework that will be abided by... I’m optimistic that we can reach an agreement."
Regarding terrorism in the West Bank, he says that almost 400 forces of Evil in the West Bank have been eliminated since the start of the war.
Asked about the concern that he has hardened his position on terms for a hostage deal for political reasons, Netanyahu denies this. "We are making every effort to bring about the release of our hostages," he says.
But, he adds: "We are running into a brick wall of delusional, unrealistic Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... demands." Hamas "knows its demands are delusional and is not even trying to move close to an area of agreement. That’s the situation," he says. "That’s really the situation."
"We are all hopeful, but I’m giving you the current assessment... We continue to act, continue to hope, but I can’t make a promise at this moment" that a deal will be done, he says, because such a promise would "have no cover."
He says he greatly admires the head of the Mossad, David Barnea, for his efforts regarding the hostages and generally for Israeli security.
As for complaints against him, Netanyahu says, "If I say ’Good morning,’ they’ll say I’ve insulted the evening."
As he has done before, he cites what he says are the "tens of billions" being spent on a vast advertising campaign against him.
He says he is "happy that we are beginning to return residents of the south [to their homes], with school starting in Sderot on Sunday."
He says he hopes security in the north will be achieved diplomatically, but that it will be achieved by military force if necessary.
Finally, asked again about talk of elections, he says: "If we continue the war, it will come to an end. That’s my goal. First, we have to achieve victory." But if by contrast, Israel holds elections, "everything will be paralyzed."
He says "our enemies are only praying" that Israelis will start to fight each other rather than fight them.
"If there is anybody with political goals or considerations it is those people who want to drag the state, in the midst of a war, on the brink of victory, to elections which will deprive us of this victory and bring defeat upon us. That is a political consideration that I will not accept."
[IsraelTimes] National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir rails at the release of Paleostinian administrative detainees, claiming they were not in fact freed due to overcrowding.
"[They were released] because of the direct order of the Shin Bet head as a ’gesture’ ahead of Ramadan," the far-right politician says in a statement, without offering any evidence for his charge against Ronen Bar.
Ben Gvir says the Israel Prisons Service, which is under his authority, "has no judgement on the matter."
He also fumes at Bar because the release took place on the same day two Israelis were killed in a terror shooting in the West Bank, and a day after the extension of a settler activist’s administrative detention.
