[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Sudanese transitional authorities approved a law late on Thursday to "dismantle" the regime of former president Omar al-Bashir ...Former President-for-Life of Sudan He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself head cheese. He fell out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Hee was overthrown by popular consent in 2019. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it... , responding to a key demand of protest movement that helped overthrow him in April, state TV reported.
The Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA), which spearheaded the protests against Bashir, welcomed the law, saying it included the dissolution of the former ruling party and the confiscation of its funds and property.
"It is an important step on the path to building a democratic civilian state," the group said in a statement.
Implementation of the law will be a crucial test of how far transitional authorities are willing or able to go to overturn nearly three decades of rule by Bashir, who took power in a 1989 coup.
The law was passed during a joint meeting of Sudan’s sovereign council and cabinet that lasted several hours.
The meeting saw disputes over an article that bans people who took leading posts in the former regime from practicing politics, sources with knowledge of the proceedings told Rooters.
Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok said on Twitter that the law was not an act of Dire Revenge, but was rather aimed at preserving the "dignity of the Sudanese people."
"We passed this law in a joint meeting to establish justice and respect the dignity of the people, and safeguard their gains, and so that the people’s looted wealth can be recovered," he added.
Hamdok’s government was formed in September after a power-sharing deal between anti-Bashir groups and the Transitional Military Council that ruled the country immediately after Bashir’s overthrow.

Sounds like Brexit Britain is shrugging off the Blair/Brown/Cameron herd mentality and acting like a pack.
We'll know it's entered the government when the RoPers mosque has been pulled down to refurb into a civilised building.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] French police started moving migrants colonists from an illegal camp site in northern Gay Paree on Thursday, as the government aims to show it is taking a tougher stance on illegal immigration.
Local police said in a statement they would be moving between 200-300 people from the site in northern Gay Paree’ Porte d’Aubervilliers, and put them up in shelters.
Since the closure of a huge migrant camp in Calais in 2016, many refugees have moved to Gay Paree. Authorities have repeatedly dismantled illegal campsites only to see them pop up again in different areas a few months later.
Earlier this month, President Emmanuel Macron’s government pledged to clear out some migrant tent camps, impose quotas for migrant workers and deny newly-arrived asylum seekers access to non-urgent healthcare, in a response to voters’ concerns about immigration.

[DAWN] An antiterrorism court (ATC) in Lahore on Thursday convicted and sentenced to death the controller of the Data Darbar suicide kaboom on May 8 that had left 12 people, including five Elite Force personnel, dead.
The convict, Mohsin Khan, was sentenced to death on 22 counts ‐ 11 under the Pakistain Penal Code and 11 under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) ‐ and to life imprisonment under the Explosive Substance Act.
Additionally, the convict has been ordered to pay compensation "at the rate of Rs0.4 million per murder" to the heirs of the dear departed and Rs50,000 to each of the injured in the attack.
The case was registered on a complaint of the counterterrorism department. During today's hearing, the court ruled that the convict's crime had been proven by the prosecution.
According to prosecutor Abdul Rauf Wattoo, Mohsin and the jacket wallah had entered Pakistain from Afghanistan through Torkham on May 6. "Both belonged to a banned outfit," the prosecutor told the court.
He said that kaboom was found in the convict's possession when he was captured.
Retracing the events of the bombing, the prosecutor said that on May 8, at around 8:45am, the bomber had blown himself up near gate 2 of the Data Darbar shrine, near a vehicle of the Elite Force. "Eleven people, including security personnel, had been killed, and 30 had been left injured," he said.
The prosecutor said that Mohsin hails from Shabqadar tehsil of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Charsadda district.
Both the controller and the bomber had arrived in Lahore on May 8 and had acquired residence near the shrine.
Mohsin was arrested by the CTD on May 21. He is being held in Lahore's Central Jail.
His death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... "shall not be executed till its confirmation by the Lahore High Court", according to the ATC judgment.
[CNN] Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi will resign after nearly two months of anti-government protests, according to a statement from his office. CNN posts actual news? Wonder how this fits in with impeachment?
People set off fireworks as they celebrated his resignation in Baghdad's Tahrir Square, after anti-government protests, which began on October 1, swept through the country against alleged government corruption and Iranian involvement in the country's affairs. So now the Persians know how long it'll take.
In the statement, Abdul Mahdi said he would submit a resignation request to parliament "to consider its options, with the knowledge that those near and far are aware that I had already made this decision known." Originally he was gonna resign by the end of the year, which would have given him time for his financial arrangements and to buy his plane ticket.
He called on Iraq's government to "act in the interests of Iraq; to preserve the blood of its people; and to avoid slipping into a cycle of violence, chaos and devastation." Yesterday he sent General al-Shammary to "restore order" in the south. He did that by shooting everybody in sight. Shammary was recalled that very evening. Now AAM announces his resignation the very next day.
Abdul Mahdi said his resignation was in response to the Friday sermon of Iraq's top Shiite holy man, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, who referenced the "failure of respective agencies to handle developments over the past two months." "Ummm-allah-ballah-wallah! The PM's a bloody-handed crook! Inshallah! It is written! Salami, salami, baloney!"
Abdul Mahdi had initially agreed to resign on October 31 on the condition that a successor was agreed to replace him. CNN reports. He agreed to resign on October 31st, target date the end of the year.
DAYS OF VIOLENCE
The news comes after the Iranian consulate in the southern city of Najaf was attacked on Wednesday. Mahdi ordered an investigation on Thursday into the deaths of at least 31 people. An indignant populace attacked it and burned it to the ground.
More than 1,000 people were maimed over three days of demonstrations across Iraq from November 26 to November 28, the country's Independent High Commission for Human Rights said Thursday. Previously, one poor guy was shot in the head with a tear gas cannister.
In total, around 380 people have been killed and 17,745 injured in Iraq since the protests began, according to Ali al-Bayati, a member of the Independent High Commission for Human Rights of Iraq. Protesters have demanded the government step down and hold early elections under direct supervision of the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... , activists told CNN. Something for Jimmy Carter to do once the swelling goes down in his brain...
Many Iraqis blame the current political parties in power for their economic hardship. At least the Iranians can blame the Great Satan and our sanctions. All the Iraqis have is the rapacity of their politicians--the ones they elected.
Officials have imposed curfews, internet blackouts, and deployed lethal force in attempts to quash the protests. The government said it only shoots when attacked, but demonstrators have disputed that. And posted videos to back them up.
[Aljazeera] Baghdad, Iraq - Iraqi security forces on Thursday shot dead at least 44 people in the country's south in one of the bloodiest days of violence since the anti-government protests erupted in early October.
At least 33 protesters were reported killed in Nasiriya city after security forces used live ammunition and tear gas canisters on crowds while another 11 people were killed in Shia holy city of Najaf, where an Iranian consulate was torched a day earlier by angry protesters.
Security sources told Al Jazeera at least 233 people were wounded in the crackdown on protests in Nasiriya.

Iraqi television announced the premier had "withdrawn" Shummary from the post by the afternoon.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Israeli military says it has demolished the homes of four Paleostinians suspected of killing an Israeli soldier.
Israeli forces tore down the homes in the West Bank village of Beit Kahil, northwest of Hebron. Israel says the four are suspected of being involved in the fatal stabbing Cpl. Dvir Sorek in August.
Clashes erupted during Thursday’s demolition, with Paleostinian protesters hurling rocks and burning tires at Israeli troops.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Paleostinian protests along 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 Hamaswith 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... -Israel border have been cancelled for the third week, organizers said on Thursday, amid declining turnout and fears of a fresh conflict in the Gaza Strip.
A statement by the organizing committee said it had decided to postpone this Friday’s marches to "avoid giving an opportunity to the Zionist enemy (Israel)" and due to "the very dangerous security conditions" after a deadly flare-up in Gaza earlier this month.
It argued that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was looking for an opportunity to divert attention after being indicted on corruption charges and a new conflict with Gaza could help him do so.
The protests, which began in March 2018 and are backed by Gaza’s Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,, initially attracted tens of thousands of people weekly, but numbers have declined dramatically.
The rallies were cancelled the two previous weeks after a flare-up between Israel and 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... , a Hamas-allied holy warrior group in Gaza.
