Africa Horn
Two Sudanese Red Crescent volunteers killed in Sennar State
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The International Federation of Red Thingy and Red Islamic Thingy (IFRC) announced the killing of two 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 Red Islamic Thingy Society (SRCS) volunteers in the conflict-ridden Sennar.

Since the conflict in Sudan began in mid-April of last year, the Sudanese Red Islamic Thingy has lost six volunteers.

"The IFRC is deeply saddened to confirm the deaths of two SRCS volunteers, Babiker Fadl al-Mawli on July 5, 2024, and Aldow Jaber Ali on July 12, 2024," read a statement released on Wednesday.

Both volunteers were killed in the line of duty in Sennar State, added the international humanitarian network, without providing further details about the circumstances of their deaths.

The IFRC called for the protection of humanitarian workers, stressing that it is both a legal and moral obligation.

The statement urged all parties to respect international humanitarian law and protect aid workers. "The loss of our staff and volunteers is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by humanitarian workers in conflict zones."

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) clashed with the Sudanese army in the southeast state last June and took control of several areas in Sennar.

Africa Subsaharan
Warring parties agree to extend shaky ceasefire in eastern DR Congo
[AFRICANEWS] The United States late Wednesday announced the extension of a humanitarian truce
..The purposes of a truce are twofold: 1.) bring up more arms, ammunition, and reinforcements; and 2.) get the enemy to relax his vigilance. A truce is not the same thing as a ceasefire, and a ceasefire doesn't mean you have to stop shooting...
that had reduced fighting in eastern Congo even as violence and human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
abuses continue there, leading to calls for an end to the conflict to allow displaced people to return home.

The latest truce in the decades-long conflict that was to end on Friday has been extended by 15 days until August 3, the U.S. State Department said in a statement that urged all actors "to respect the truce" that had been violated since it took effect on July 5.

The violence concentrated in the eastern North Kivu province has resulted not just in arbitrary killings and arrests but also in sexual abuses with women and kiddies affected the most, according to Carine Kaneza Nantulya of the Human Rights Watch, who spoke at a briefing on Wednesday about the situation in Congo.

"The violence being committed against women and girls is not only in the areas of war but also when they go and try to find water or food outside of camps," said Nantulya.

The decades-long conflict in eastern Congo has produced one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with over 100 gangs fighting for control of the mineral-rich area near the border with Rwanda. A key actor in the conflict — the M23 group — is allegedly backed by Rwanda.

Along with other groups, the rebels are accused of carrying out mass killings in the conflict that has spread from the front lines to surrounding villages, and displaced at least 7 million people, many beyond the reach of aid. Aid groups have complained of insufficient resources even for those within their reach.

In recent months, people fleeing violence have also had to dodge artillery fire and dronezaps.

Arabia
Russia's new partner in the Gulf region has become the victim of a terrorist attack for the first time in history
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Kirill Semenov

[REGNUM] Six people, including four Pakistanis and one Indian, were killed and nearly three dozen were injured in a terrorist attack on the Shiite Ali bin Abi Talib mosque in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman. The attack came as Shiites mark Ashura, an annual day of mourning for Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. The terrorist group ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack. In particular, the terrorists' information resource Amaq reported on its Telegram channels that the militants "opened fire with machine guns at Shiites" and then clashed with Omani security forces. Three terrorists who carried out the attack and opened fire on the parishioners were eliminated. One police officer was also killed in the shootout.

And English Bobbies are not armed.
So it flee or Die.

As we know, England's former EU Open Border policy has allowed too many migrants to come in. Once here, they focus their numbers in areas, that then allow them to gain increased political say.

(Sounds like some Metro's in the USA?)

Now they are openly implementing their cultural ways, morals, community rules/laws and former country's aggressive ways. All pretty much as they please.

Kinda the same OPEN BORDERS Invasion Obama/Biden & The LSD's have inflicted on the USA. To the tune of between 10.4 to 14 Million based on latest figures.

#17  "Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."
Winston Churchill

#18  I think in Western elite circles the importance of the consent of the governed and a cultural consensus about principles of right and wrong are dangerously underestimated.

Western law enforcement is about dealing with the unusual and exceptional events. Law enforcement is not an internal occupation army.

Stability and the rule of law are a consequence of the consent of the governed.

If the consent goes away for whatever reason they vanish suddenly.

Fifth Column
Palestinian organisers lead diverse coalition march at US Republican convention
[NEWARAB] A coalition of hundreds of activists led by Paleostinian organisers held a rally and marched through downtown Milwaukee on the first day of the Republican National Convention.

In addition to pro-Paleostinian activists protesting US support of Israel's 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...
, the gathering drew union members, women's rights activists, members of the LGBTQ+ community, Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans.

"I'm here with Teamsters Local 344, and I'm here to protest with everyone else to show our city's discontent with holding an event like this here," Kris K., a Milwaukee-based employee with the United Parcel Service, told The New Arab, marching with other union members near the Milwaukee River, a short walk from the convention.

"Milwaukee isn't the kind of city where it makes sense to hold the RNC with their bigoted views and their regressive policies. The city is full of union people and working class people and people of colour who are not OK with the Republicans holding their convention here," the union member added.

The gathering, estimated to be around 800, started with a presser at Red Arrow Park, then a rally with speakers representing Paleostinians, Blacks and other groups, followed by a march through the city's downtown lasting over an hour. Demonstrators came from across the US to join the protests, though most appeared to be local or from the Midwest.

People carried Paleostinian flags, signs related to women's healthcare, and multiple other signs indicating the RNC wasn't welcome in Milwaukee. There were also a handful of signs in support of Biden, though most demonstrators focused on specific issues that the RNC opposes.

Standing on the sidelines of the march were small groups of counter-demonstrators holding signs denouncing gays, Moslems, child sacrifice abortion, and other issues that most of the marchers appeared to support.

Azmi Alaeddin, a 50-year resident of Milwaukee originally from Jerusalem, who immigrated to the US from Kuwait, marched at the front of the demonstration holding a tall Paleostinian flag. He told TNA that he came to protest US support for Israel's war in Gaza.

"It means a lot to me, but it touches me more, because those are my people. It could be me there. It could be my kids being killed there. I could be under the rubble," he said, adding that he had hoped the demonstration would be bigger.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israel parliament votes to oppose Palestinian state
[GEO.TV] An Israeli parliament vote to oppose a Palestinian state as an "existential threat", just days ahead of a visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington, brought Palestinian and international criticism on Thursday.

The 120-member Knesset late on Wednesday passed by 68 votes to nine a resolution that said a Palestinian state on land occupied by Israel would "perpetuate the Israel-Palestinian conflict and destabilise the region".

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

City on Thursday.

The airstrikes in Gaza City were part of the latest wave of bombardments in the Paleostinian enclave, with three others killed in the blasts that took out the Islamic Jihad terror commanders, according to the Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
-run ministry of health.

Islamic Jihad is among the holy warrior groups who helped Hamas carry out the brutal terrorist attack on Oct. 7 that left more than 1,200 people dead in Israel and triggered the start of the war.

The IDF also conducted airstrikes over Zawayda and the refugee camps in Bureij and Nuseirat, as well as the city of Deir-Al-Balah, the last major urban zone in central Gaza that has yet to see a ground assault.

Hamas officials, who do not differentiate between snuffies and civilians in their death tallies, said at least 21 people were killed altogether in the central Gaza airstrikes.

The bombardments came as IDF ranks pushed deeper into the southern city of Rafah, where the last bastions of Hamas are believed to be stationed.

The tanks advanced further into the western side of the city, where the IDF uncovered several entrances to Hamas’ tunnel network and killed several button men.

"The repeated mass casualty events resulting from the unrelenting hostilities have stretched to breaking point the response capacity of our hospital — and all health facilities in southern Gaza — to care for those with life-threatening injuries," ICRC Gaza subdelegation head William Schomburg said in a statement.

reports.
