Africa Horn
Sudanese army denies coup attempt, emphasizes unity
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Lieutenant General Yasir al-Atta, Assistant Commander-in-Chief of 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, dismissed rumours of a foiled coup attempt in the Wadi Saydna military region, asserting the armed forces’ unity behind leadership.

"The regular forces operate with one heart behind the leadership, following an organized hierarchy," al-Atta stated on Tuesday according to a statement by the military media.

Lieutenant General al-Atta sought to silence online rumours about the arrest of four officers during a meeting with the army’s Popular Support delegation. Conflicting reports swirled, with some alleging a coup attempt and others claiming they conducted attacks against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Omdurman without authorization.

While not directly addressing the alleged coup, al-Atta emphasized the unity and coordination within the Omdurman and Wadi Saydna, stating. He further confirmed the unwavering support of the armed forces for the head of the Sovereign Council and army commander-in-chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.

Sudanese army electronic platforms on social media vehemently denied the coup story, accusing the RSF of fabricating discord within the army after facing defeats in Omdurman.

About 13 children die each day at a camp in Sudan for displaced people
[AFRICANEWS] Thirteen children are dying each day of severe malnutrition at the Zamzam camp in 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...
's northern Darfur as a consequence of the 10-month war in their country, a medical charity said Monday.

The head of the U.N. refugee agency, meanwhile, warned that Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
may have to deal with a rise in the numbers of Sudanese refugees if a cease-fire agreement isn't signed soon between Sudan's warring sides and relief efforts aren't strengthened.

One child is dying every two hours in the camp, according to Claire Nicolet, head of emergency response in Sudan for Doctors without Borders, or MSF.

"Those with severe malnutrition who have not yet died are at high risk of dying within three to six weeks if they do not get treatment," Nicolet said.

MSF says that Zamzam, a camp of more than 300,000 people, was originally formed by people fleeing ethnically targeted violence in the region in 2003. However,
a woman is only as old as she admits...
since war broke out between Sudan's military and paramilitary forces in April 2023, camp residents have been cut off from vital humanitarian aid and medical care, the group said in a statement.

U.N. agencies and international aid organizations evacuated North Darfur after the war began in April, and have maintained only a limited presence since then, MSF said.

"Now, they have been almost completely abandoned. There have been no food distributions from the World Food Program since May. People are going hungry — and children are dying as a result," Nicolet said.

MSF said that it would rapidly increase the scale of assistance at the camp to provide treatment for children in the most critical condition. However,
a woman is only as old as she admits...
the scale of the disaster requires a far greater response than MSF can provide alone, the group said.

The head of the U.N. refugee agency said that without additional support, refugees from Sudan will attempt to make their way to Europe.

"The Europeans are always so worried about people coming across the Mediterranean. Well, I have a warning for them that if they don't support more refugees coming out of Sudan, even displaced people inside Sudan, we will see onward movements of people towards Libya, Tunisia and across the Mediterranean," U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said. "There is no doubt."

07.03.2020 Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy / Vice-President of the European Commission, is a worthless piece of EU propaganda. Although the camp is less than 10 miles from El Fasher, Darfur's largest city, it provides no information on the ethnicities involved, where they came from, and what UN intentions are to end the camp. Four years later the same holds true. Who are these people? Where are they from? Children die, why?

Djibouti steps up coast guard patrols amidst the Red sea crisis
[AFRICANEWS] The narrow Bab al-Mandab strait is all that separates Djibouti from Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, from where the Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
fighters have launched a series of attacks on Israeli-linked ships since November.

Djibouti has intensified coasties patrols along its strategic waterways as the Red Sea crisis unfolds.

"When you're securing something, not only the sea, and something happens, you need to increase the time before which is coming, and which is currently going on," Colonel Wais Omar Bogoreh, Djibouti Coast Guard Commander says.

"That's why we increase our capabilities, we increase how to secure the area more than before according to the situation currently going on in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab.

Djibouti has achieved economic growth during the past decade and the ongoing crisis could negatively impact the coastal nation.

The country hosts several foreign military bases, but it is not part of a U.S.-led coalition that has launched Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s against the Houthi group.

"We have a lot of friends of several countries working on the sea. And some of them have been [stationed] in isolation on the coast. We are working closely, we will collaborate and coordinate all the missions related to the security [...]," Cl Bogoreh says.

The Houthis who control southwest Yemen, say their attacks are aimed at ships with links to Israel and they to continue attacking targets until Israel’s deadly war on 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...
stops.

#2  When Sinwar is captured, what will happen to the remaining Hamas fighters?

Will they start surrendering in mass?

Or will a new 'leader' inspire them to continue fighting to the end?

#3  Sinwar is (tragically) still breathing and much of the remaining Hamas already seems better at hiding and/or surrendering than fighting to the death.

I noted that brave Muslim warriors are their bravest when attacking unarmed women and children.

'31 more captives in Gaza pronounced dead', murdered by Hamas & Friends
[GEO.TV] Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari Tuesday said: “We have informed 31 families that their captured loved ones are no longer among the living and that we have pronounced them dead.”

Amid the ongoing aggression on Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was heavily criticised by the Israeli demonstrators and family members of the victims for not prioritising the safe return of the captives.
