[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Videos and images circulated recently online have revealed a warehouse stocked with Emirati ammunition and missiles in the city of Wad Madani, 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... This comes after the Sudanese Armed Forces regained control of the strategic city, driving out the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The footage shows members of the Sudanese army inspecting the warehouse filled with large supply crates, with one soldier claiming that all the weapons present originated from the UAE.
On Saturday, the Sudanese Armed Forces, in coordination with allied gangs, declared their capture of Wad Madani, the capital city of Al Jazirah State, which had been under RSF control for a year. The RSF has been engaged in a civil conflict against the Sudanese army since April 2023.
Meanwhile,

In my youth it was The People's Democratic Republic of Aden for this particular city in Yemen.
, according to informed sources.
The sources explained that the STC's elements entered the ''Presidential Council office'' at the palace, expelled the employees, and prevented them from returning to their offices.
They also mentioned that the storming and expulsion of the ''Al-Alimi office'' was ordered by the UAE after the factions took control of three gates of the Maasheq Palace at the end of December, following festivities with the ''Presidential Protection Battalion'' loyal to al-Alimi.
Recently, the labor unions loyal to the STC threatened that al-Alimi and government loyal to the Saudi-led coalition would not be allowed to return to al-Maasheq Palace in Aden, amid calls from to form a ''Southern Government'' in response to the economic collapse and the deterioration of various services.

It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... A study conducted by the ''MMC'' (a global network), which specializes in migration research, showed that the smuggling of African migrants colonists to Yemen generates about $30 million annually for organized smuggling gangs.
The study indicated that about 100,000 migrants colonists attempt to cross Yemen annually, making this route a major target for smuggling gangs that operate in an organized manner from Djibouti.
This trade is considered one of the most dangerous types of illegal immigration in the world, as migrants colonists put their lives at risk on a dangerous journey across the Red Sea.
During the past year, hundreds of African migrants colonists arrived on the coasts of Shabwa and Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same.

Just before Christmas when I ordered lots of green coffee beans from a site in Oakland CA (Oakland where much of our good coffee enters the USA), They had 3 types from Yemen. They have not had Yemen coffee in years so somehow Yemen coffee is on the world's market again even though they lob missiles and drones like confetti.

So Yemen coffee beans are kinda like South African blood diamonds trafficed thru Oakland?
#2
Oakland is just where most beans come into the USA. But blood diamonds might be correct. Last time green beans from Yemen on the market were about $25 a pound. This time the most expensive were $14/lb and the cheapest were $10/lb.
Compare to the best Colombian at $8.50 with lowest green Colombian at $6.50. This is like $55 roasted to $70 roasted in your local high quality store for Colombian. Most cost if after roasting. So if one could find roasted Yemen on the market it would be way over $100/lb.

TW .. Nobody else grows beans the way Yemen does. I would never drink Yemen coffee. They rot the fruit and leave the rotten fruit to burn off the beans when they roast it. Sometimes the save some of the rotten fruits and make a tea out of the putrid fruit. It's truly a disgusting way to prepare a food source and drinking it is an acquired taste.
Two suspects have been arrested in Azerbaijan for planning to assassinate a senior figure in the country’s Jewish community, according to Israel’s public broadcaster Kan. The plot was discovered and foiled by Azerbaijani security forces.
According to the report, the two were offered $200,000 by representatives of another country, likely Iran, to kill a member of the Jewish community. The primary suspect, a drug trafficker, had recently traveled to another country and met with its security services.
A source within the Azerbaijani Jewish community told Kan that the target was a well-known figure who actively promotes cooperation between the predominantly Muslim country and Israel.
Iran is actively seeking to lure local agents to attack Jewish and Israeli targets. Earlier Tuesday, the Israeli National Security Council warned citizens to be on high alert for such attempts.

[Regnum] Twenty-seven people have been charged in the case of the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall near Moscow, said Alexander Bastrykin, Chairman of the Investigative Committee. The Investigative Committee press service reported this on Tuesday, January 14.
“Twenty-seven defendants have been charged in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus,” Bastrykin said in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
On March 22, 2024, terrorists broke into Crocus City Hall and opened fire on visitors and employees of the concert hall. They also started a fire. Their actions killed 144 people, and injured 551 more. The Investigative Committee opened several criminal cases, including under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Terrorist act"). 12 people were arrested.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, in June 2024, the media reported that Turkish intelligence services warned Russia and helped prevent a second terrorist attack in Moscow after the attack on Crocus City Hall. According to these data, the new attack (on the shopping center) was being prepared by the same group - Vilayat Khorasan
…a.k.a. ISIS-K…
(a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation), associated with the Islamic State (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation).
In December 2024, law enforcement officers detained four Batalkhadzhin terrorists (the movement is recognized as terrorist and banned in the Russian Federation). It was established that they helped to organize a terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall. During the search, weapons were found on them, and correspondence with the leaders of the organization hiding abroad was found on their mobile phones.

My dear Israeli friends, I wish you all Godspeed in getting back what folks and their remains you can, and the grim realities that will reveal. And I trust that once you have done that, what follows reflects exactly what needs to be done!
[IsraelTimes] IDF confirms carrying out joint attack with Shin Bet, doesn’t give further details; analysts and Palestinian security forces warn airstrike could undermine PA counterterrorism op.
Israel on Tuesday carried out a dronezap in Jenin, amid a campaign by the Paleostinian Authority to clamp down on terror factions in the northern West Bank city.
The Paleostinian Authority health ministry reported at least six dead in strike, including a teenager.
The IDF released a statement confirming it carried out the attack in a joint operation with the Shin Bet, without immediately providing further information.
The strike was in the Jenin refugee camp, which has been overtaken by various gangs over the past year.
It was the first strike that the IDF has conducted in the camp where the PA’s own security forces have been operating for roughly a month, trying to clamp down on terrorist activity.
The Israeli strike risks undermining the PA effort, analysts and its security apparatus warned.
"The pre-planned intervention ... thwarts all efforts being made to maintain security and order and restore life to normal," said Anwar Rajab, front man for the Paleostinian forces, in a statement.
"It reflects the occupation’s premeditated intentions to disrupt every national endeavor aimed at protecting our people."
Paleostinian security forces entered Jenin in early December and set up checkpoints around the city and adjacent refugee camp, hoping to strengthen the PA’s position before a shakeup of Paleostinian politics that is expected once the ongoing Gazoo

In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... strengthen their hold.
At least 13 people have been killed in Jenin since the counterterrorism mission began, including six Paleostinian security officers and one gunman, officials say.

[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Tuesday said they had lost contact with three fighters after clashes with Syrian National Army (SNA) militants in northern Syria.
“Four of our fighters were wounded, and communication with three others was lost,” the SDF said, adding that the clashes resulted in the killing of 28 Turkish-backed SNA fighters and the injury of 36 others near Manbij.
“Our forces successfully targeted mercenary gatherings 24 times and shot down one suicide drone,” the SDF added.

The clashes are especially intense near the crucial Tishreen Dam and Qere Qozaq bridge on the Euphrates River that leads to the symbolic Kurdish city of Kobane on the Turkish border.
Turkey considers the People’s Protection Units (YPG), the backbone of the SDF, as the Syrian front for the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and has threatened to carry out a military offensive against them.
