Sudan's North Darfur faces humanitarian collapse
[AFRICANEWS] 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 war-torn North Darfur, desperation is mounting as tens of thousands flee escalating violence. Displaced residents are calling for urgent humanitarian aid, warning that the situation in overcrowded camps is deteriorating rapidly.

The United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
' International Organization for Migration (IOM) says humanitarian operations in the region are on the brink of collapse, threatening to leave thousands without food, water, or shelter. Aid groups say time is running out to prevent further suffering.

In Tawila, about 70 kilometers from El-Fasher, newly arrived families are struggling to survive in barren displacement camps with little access to clean water, sanitation, or medical care.

''We are in urgent need of water, it's more important than anything else right now,'' said Sohaiba Omar, displaced from El-Fasher. ''We also need toilets and medicines, as people here are sick and suffering. We need mattresses and blankets, too, since it's winter and we came with nothing.''

Volunteer Batoul Mohammed described the dire food shortages. ''Some people say they haven't had any food. We call on international organizations to support charity kitchens so they can reach more displaced people,'' she said.

The IOM has appealed for increased funding to address the growing crisis, warning of ''an even greater catastrophe'' if its call goes unanswered. The Rapid Support Forces' (RSF) recent capture of North Darfur's capital, El-Fasher, left hundreds dead and forced tens of thousands to flee amid reports of atrocities, according to aid groups and U.N. officials.

Women Fleeing Sudan's Al-Fashir Report Rape, Killings and Child Disappearances
[AFRICANEWS] In Sudan's North Darfur, new accounts from women fleeing the city of Al-Fashir reveal horrifying scenes of violence and abuse after its capture by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

According to UN Women, survivors describe killings, systematic rape, and the disappearance of children, atrocities that unfolded as the RSF cemented its control over the Darfur region in its brutal war with the Sudanese army.

Anna Mutavati, UN Women's Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, says sexual violence is now being used deliberately and systematically as a weapon of war. ''Women's bodies have become a crime scene in Sudan,'' she warned. ''There are no safe spaces left.''

The situation is equally dire for those still trapped. Around 11 million women and girls are facing acute food insecurity. Many risk sexual violence even while searching for wild leaves and berries to eat.

Famine has now been declared in Al-Fashir and the southern city of Kadugli. The UN Human Rights Chief says he fears ongoing executions, rape, and ethnically targeted attacks.

Since late October, at least 82,000 people have fled Al-Fashir and surrounding areas but aid agencies estimate as many as 200,000 civilians remain trapped inside the besieged city.

The UN is urging immediate international action to stop the violence and prevent an even greater humanitarian catastrophe.

Malian armed forces have neutralized Abou Salam Oumarou, a high-ranking commander of the jihadist group JNIM, whose head was valued at 18 million US dollars.
In other French reports he is described as chef d'équipe du JNIM, for those who speak military French and wish to be more precise. But at US $18 mil head money, he is definitely a Big Turban, regardless. Congratulations to the Malian army — may your good luck and improved skills continue to pay off.

Nigeria, US and UK probe $235m cocaine seizure at Lagos port
[AFRICANEWS] Nigeria's anti-narcotics enforcement agency said on Tuesday it is working with its U.S. and British counterparts to ''unravel the cartel behind the importation of 1,000 kilograms of cocaine'' discovered at a port in Lagos.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said the cocaine was found in an empty container last weekend. It is said to be worth over 338 billion naira ($235 million), representing one of the largest drug seizures in the country's history.

''In a swift response to the Agency's request, officers of the US-DEA and UK-NCA, have already joined the ongoing investigation of the largest single seizure of cocaine at the Tincan Port Lagos,'' Femi Babafemi, spokesperson for the agency, said in a statement.

The seizure was formally transferred to the NDLEA on Tuesday after its initial discovery by port operators.

Nigeria is considered a significant regional transit hub of narcotics in West Africa and has also gradually become considered as a key producer, according to the United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
Office on Drugs and Crime.

''The essence of collaborating with our international partners on this case is to ensure no stone is left unturned and every gap is sufficiently covered so that ultimately we can get all the criminal masterminds of this huge consignment brought to book wherever they are located across the globe,'' Brig. Gen. Mohammed Buba Marwa, the NDLEA chairman, said of the investigation.

Britain
London police say 5 arrested at dueling protests outside Bob Vylan concert
[IsraelTimes] London police say five people were arrested during a protest and counter-demonstration outside a concert by contentious duo Bob Vylan last night, including one individual held over chants against the Israel Defense Forces.

The concert took place in northwest London, home to Britain’s largest Jewish community.

“One man from the pro-Palestine protest was arrested in relation to chants referencing the IDF,” police say.

“One person from the Stop the Hate protest was arrested on suspicion of common assault following an altercation involving another protester,”the Metropolitan Police say, referring to the group that organized a protest against the concert.

“A further three people, two from the Stop the Hate protest and one from the pro-Palestine protest, were arrested on suspicion of breaching Public Order Act conditions.”

In video shared on social media, a woman wearing an IDF t-shirt said she was detained “just for standing in the street.”
The Bobbies were showing their even-handedness.
British police said yesterday that they were continuing to investigate comments made on stage by Bob Vylan during a performance at the Glastonbury music festival in June.

The performance by Bob Vylan included chants of “Death, death to the IDF,” and a tirade about working for “fucking Zionists” in the music industry.

Europe
France Foils Terror Plot by Three Young Salafist Women to ‘Pay Homage’ to Bin Laden
[Breitbart] Three young Islamist women have been arrested in La Belle France on suspicion of plotting terror attacks in Gay Paree to pay "homage to Bin Laden" and to mark the 2015 Bataclan theatre attack.

La Belle France’s National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) has charged three women, aged 18, 19, and 21, with a "criminal terrorist conspiracy" following a months-long investigation involving wiretaps and other surveillance, which uncovered plans for a potential suicide kaboom in Gay Paree.

According to a report from Le Gay Pareeien, citing surveillance summaries from the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI), the three young women all identified with the Salafist hardline branch of Islam, which calls for a strict and literal adherence to the Qur’an, Sharia law, and often promotes the idea of holy warrior jihadism to advance the faith.

The DGSI found that the three women rarely left their homes and would only do so while completely covering their faces with a niqab. Instead, the three suspects are said to have spent the majority of their time inside, watching Islamist propaganda videos on platforms such as Snapchat, Telegram, and TikTok.

They were further described as being solitary with suicidal tendencies, while one is reported to have suffered a rare spinal injury that left her bound to a wheelchair. They are all said to be Frenchies; however, no further details about their ethnic backgrounds have been made public.
A VBIED Wheelchair? These kids are sooo creative
The 19-year-old suspect, only identified in the Gay Paree press as "B." due to French judicial reporting restrictions, is believed to have been the ringleader of the suspected terror ring. She first drew the attention of authorities with her TikTok account, which she reportedly used to promote pro-ISIS, jihadist-themed content to her 20,000 followers.

In one instance, she is said to have proclaimed that she was ready to carry out "an operation with another sister (Moslem woman)" and had said that she was in search of "equipment" and training to either attack a concert hall or bar in Gay Paree with guns or an explosive boom jacket.

In another instance, she reportedly told one of the other suspects in an intercepted phone conversation, supposedly in jest, "I want to blow everything up there... I want to pay homage to Bin Laden!"

According to the authorities, the plan was to kill as many people as possible and for her to become a martyr. Investigators noted that it bore resemblance to the November 2015 terror attacks in Gay Paree, in which jacket wallahs and button men targeted a stadium, restaurants, bars, and the Bataclan concert hall in a coordinated attack, leaving 130 dead and hundreds injured.

The attackers were later identified as mostly French and Belgian nationals of North African heritage, some of whom had received training from ISIS in Syria. The attack, which was the deadliest terrorist attack in French history and the deadliest incident on French soil since the Second World War, may have served as an inspiration to the alleged suspects, given that its tenth anniversary is set for this week.

During a search of the alleged leader of the female Islamist group, police discovered a notebook, reportedly outlining various elements of a terror plot in Gay Paree, including potential targets, as well as the ingredients needed to manufacture a boom jacket and the cost of a Kalashnikov, the same gun used to mow down innocent concert goers in 2015 at the Bataclan.

In a police interview, she said that she wanted to "live under Sharia law" and that she "preferred religious laws" to the secular laws of the French Republic. "B.", who reportedly pledged allegiance to ISIS, also said that in her envisioned terror plot, she would attack a police officer to be bumped off and become a martyr. However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
she went on to claim that she had abandoned the plans, saying that she was "impulsive" and "incapable of following through."

The wheelchair-bound 21-year-old suspect, identified as "K.", who is reported to have pledged allegiance to "B.", said that she knew of the plot, but had attempted to persuade the ringleader to leave the country and move to Algeria rather than carrying out a terror attack in La Belle France. Both "B." and "K." are said to have told police that the third suspect, known as "A.", was not aware of the plot.

The three women have been remanded to custody while they await trial.

Germany arrests another alleged member of Hamas cell
[IsraelTimes] German prosecutors say police arrested another alleged member of a Hamas cell plotting attacks on Israeli or Jewish institutions.

The man, identified as Lebanon-born Borhan El-K. was arrested late yesterday while entering Germany from the Czech Republic, the federal prosecutor’s office says.

Prosecutors allege that in August, “he procured an automatic rifle, eight Glock pistols and more than 600 rounds of ammunition in Germany” and had them transferred to another suspect, Wael F. The latter was one of three men who were arrested in Berlin last month on suspicion of procuring firearms and ammunition.

Danish police also searched addresses in and around Copenhagen connected to Borhan El-K. and another suspect.

A further suspect was arrested last week in London at the request of German authorities.

Hamas has denied any connection to the alleged plot.

Turkiye says 20 troops killed in Georgia plane crash
Final death toll after yesterday’s event.
[GEO.TV] Turkiye's defence ministry said on Wednesday that 20 soldiers were killed in the crash of its military aircraft in Georgia a day earlier, as inspectors continued to seek clues what caused the NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
member's cargo plane to go down.

The C-130 plane took off from Azerbaijan for Turkiye and crashed in Georgia on Tuesday.

Ankara has not yet provided a reason for its deadliest military incident since 2020. It said Ottoman Turkish and Georgian authorities began inspections at the site, in the Sighnaghu municipality of Georgia's Kakheti district, at 0330 GMT on Wednesday.

Initial footage from the scene showed chunks of twisted metal strewn across a grassy knoll, while unverified footage on social media showed the plane breaking apart in mid-air and then corkscrewing towards the earth in a blaze.

On Wednesday, the Ottoman Turkish Defence Ministry released a list of the 20 soldiers killed in the crash.

The leaders of Azerbaijan and Georgia, as well as the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, have all conveyed condolences. Tom Barrack, the US Ambassador to Turkiye, has also expressed his country's solidarity with Turkiye after the crash.

India-Pakistan
Day 3: New Delhi car blast death toll rises to 12, JeM-led group of 25 plot: 32 VBIEDs for coordinated attacks in multiple locations
[GEO.TV] India's anti-terrorism agency spearheaded on Wednesday the third day of investigations into a car blast in the capital, as a hospital official said the corpse count had increased to 12.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called the earth-shattering kaboom on Monday evening a ''conspiracy'', and has vowed that those responsible will face justice.

Police are yet to give exact details of what caused the intense explosion near the historic Red Fort in the crowded Old Delhi quarter of the city, one of India's best-known landmarks and the site of the annual Independence Day speech by the prime minister.

It was the most significant security incident since April 22, when 26 mainly Hindu non-combatants were killed at the tourist site of Pahalgam in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
(IIOJK), triggering festivities with Pakistain.

''Twelve people have died and more than 30 are injured,'' Ritu Saxena, the chief medical officer of Delhi's LNJP hospital, told AFP.

India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) is leading the probe into the earth-shattering kaboom, which came hours after police said they had arrested a gang and seized kabooms and assault rifles.

Home Minister Amit Shah, after chairing security talks following Monday's blast, said he had instructed officials ''to hunt down each and every culprit behind this incident''.

Indian police are investigating whether there is a link between this week's car blast in Delhi and the earlier arrest of a group of seven men from the restive IIOJK region, found with arms and bomb-making material, three sources familiar with the probe said on Wednesday.

Delhi Blast Live Updates: Suspects had planned serial attacks; were prepping 32 vehicles, agencies say

[HindustanTimes] Delhi Blast Live Updates: Intelligence agencies on Thursday revealed a larger terror conspiracy linked to the Red Fort car blast. The suspects had allegedly planned to prepare around 32 old vehicles with explosives to carry out coordinated attacks across multiple locations.

Delhi Blast Live Updates: As the heart of Delhi reels from the shock of the high-intensity blast near the national capital's historic Red Fort that left at least ten people dead and over twenty injured, the authorities are unravelling the details of the terror incident. The blast, which occurred just outside the bustling Lal Quila Metro Station around 6:52 PM on Monday, ignited a massive fire and devastated multiple vehicles in one of the city’s most heavily guarded zones. Authorities have rushed investigators from multiple agencies, including the NIA and Forensic Science Laboratory, to probe it as a terror incident.

THE DELHI RED FORT BLAST PROBE
The NIA has taken over the probe and found live cartridges and multiple kinds of explosives on the scene. Investigators believe that the prime suspect, Dr Umar Nabi, likely panicked after the multi-state “white collar” terror module was busted in Faridabad, and the blast got triggered while he was transporting explosive material in an i20 car.

The investigators conducted a DNA test to determine the identity of the driver of the car. According to a PTI report, the DNA found in the car matched with Dr Umar Nabi’s mother, placing him firmly on the scene.

Using this money, the group purchased over 20 quintals of NPK fertiliser worth approximately ₹3 lakh from areas including Gurugram and Nuh to prepare IEDs. Investigators also said Umar had created a 2-4 member group on the Signal app, which included Adil and Muzammil, to coordinate their activities.

Intelligence agencies on Thursday revealed a larger terror conspiracy linked to the deadly car blast near Delhi's Red Fort that claimed 10 lives, with sources saying that the suspects had allegedly planned to prepare around 32 old vehicles with explosives to carry out coordinated attacks across multiple locations.

According to intelligence agency sources quoted by ANI, the ongoing investigation has expanded after it was found that the accused had already begun work on modifying an i20 and an EcoSport vehicle for potential use in the attacks. Investigators are now examining whether other similar vehicles were being readied as part of a broader plan to execute serial blasts.

"After the i20 and EcoSport, it came to light that preparations were underway to ready 32 more old vehicles which could be fitted with explosives," an intelligence source told ANI.

Delhi Blast Live Updates: Diaries recovered from accused Umar and Muzammil indicate plan for explosions
Delhi Blast Live Updates: Security agencies have recovered the diaries of Delhi blast case accused Dr Umar and Dr Muzammil, which mention the dates November 8 to 12, indicating that the planning was underway for such an incident during that period.

According to sources quoted in an ANI report, the diary also contained the names of approximately 25 individuals, most of whom hailed from Jammu and Kashmir and Faridabad.

According to the information from the diaries, it can be said that the blast was to be carried out as part of a well-planned conspiracy.

Minister confirms Afghan national involved in Islamabad deadly suicide attack
Follow up to this story from yesterday.
[GEO.TV] The jacket wallah who attacked the Islamabad court premises and killed a dozen people was an Afghan national, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry said on Wednesday.

''I can confirm that the attacker was an Afghan national [...] Pakistain is a responsible state and does not blame others needlessly,'' the minister said on Geo News' programme ''Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath''.

The deadly blast outside the district court buildings on Tuesday killed 12 and injured more than 30 people, with the district court remaining closed today, and security was stepped up at other court buildings across the city.

''The attacker was neither Pak nor did he know the Pak language. He did not even have an idea about Pak currency,'' the state minister mentioned.

Chaudhry, saying that he could not provide further details as it could hamper the investigation, noted that based on concrete evidence, Pakistain blamed India and Afghanistan for attack in the country.

The minister revealed that cab and bike riders, employed with online ride-hailing services, confirmed to authorities that the suicide bomber was unaware of the language and the currency.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
‘ISIS-inspired’ 18-year-old Arab Israeli indicted on terror charges
[IsraelTimes] An 18-year-old Arab Israeli has been indicted on terror charges, after being arrested last month on suspicion of plotting an attack, police announce.

The defendant allegedly drew inspiration from the ISIS terror group and had been learning how to manufacture explosives, though it is unclear if he succeeded in making a functional bomb. Police also found several weapons in his possession.

Police investigators and Shin Bet agents conducted the investigation with the assistance of officers from the Tira and Taybeh police stations, law enforcement says. The suspect resides in the Triangle, a cluster of Arab locales in central Israel.

He will be tried in a juvenile court, police say, meaning that he was apparently a minor at the time of the offenses. Prosecutors are seeking to extend the suspect’s remand until the end of legal proceedings.

IDF says it killed several gunmen on Israeli-held side of Gaza’s Yellow Line
[IsraelTimes] In separate incidents, military says soldiers spotted armed operatives near them in Rafah and Khan Younis, opened fire; Kushner, IDF both said working on Gaza contingency plans

The Israeli military said it killed four terror operatives on the Israel-controlled side of the Yellow Line in the southern 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 a rusty 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 on Wednesday, including several button men detected near troops.

In one incident, the Israel Defense Forces said that troops operating in the Rafah area to demolish Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
tunnels opened fire on four terror operatives who were spotted near them.

"Immediately upon detection, the troops on the ground shot up the terrorists," the military said, adding that no soldiers were hurt.

Later, the IDF said that three of the four armed terror operatives were confirmed to have been killed in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
that was directed by the troops shortly after the initial encounter. The condition of the fourth gunman was unknown.

Some 100-200 Hamas holy warriors are estimated to be holed up in tunnels in southern Gaza on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line. The US has pressured Israel to allow them safe passage back to Hamas-held areas of Gaza, though Israel has not agreed as of yet.

In a separate incident, the IDF said it killed a terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line demarcating the military’s withdrawal and approached troops in the Khan Younis area.

The military said the operative "posed an immediate threat" to the troops, who then opened fire "to remove the threat."

The IDF said it remains deployed in Gaza "in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat."

Since the ceasefire went into effect last month, at least 245 Paleostinians have been killed by Israeli fire, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.

Three Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza during the same period.

KUSHNER, IDF SAID WORKING ON CONTINGENCY PLANS FOR GAZA
While the ceasefire has continued to hold despite periodic flareups, White House Middle East adviser Jared Kushner and the IDF are working on contingency plans for Gaza in case US President Donald Trump

’s 20-point plan stalls, Israel Hayom reported Wednesday.

Kushner told an Israeli source this week that he is working on a plan B for Gaza, according to the report, pointing at the complexity of disarming Hamas and finding countries willing to send troops ready to confront the terror group militarily.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said at last week’s security cabinet meeting that the military is also preparing an alternative plan to Trump’s, and that he will present it soon to the ministers, the Hebrew-language daily reported.

The Trump plan was supposed to progress to a second phase after the release of hostages last month, however the two sides remain at an impasse over the fate of the 100-200 Hamas button men trapped in Israeli-controlled Rafah, as well as the fact that the terror group is still holding on to a number of bodies of slain Israeli hostages.

Iran Flooding Judea & Samaria with Advanced Weapons


Text:

A Washington Free Beacon exposé reveals that Iran is now arming terror cells in Judea and Samaria with drones, rockets, and explosives, aiming to replicate Hamas’s October 7 massacre from within Israel’s heartland.

🔹 Israeli intelligence confirms the Quds Force is smuggling arms through Jordan and Lebanon.
🔹 Terror factions, including Islamic Jihad, Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, Hamas, and others, now possess anti-tank missiles, RPGs, and explosive drones.
🔹 A Hebron weapons depot uncovered missile production facilities, showing terrorists can now manufacture advanced weapons locally.
🔹 The Foundation for Defense of Democracies calls Judea & Samaria Israel’s “soft underbelly.”

If Gaza was the warning, this is the next front.

Clashes erupt in Syria’s Suwayda amid ongoing ceasefire violations: War monitor
[Rudaw] Clashes and sporadic skirmishes broke out across Syria’s southern Suwayda province on Tuesday, signaling renewed ceasefire violations in the Druze-majority region, a prominent war monitor reported.

Druze fighters and forces affiliated with the interim government engaged in gunfire using machine guns on multiple fronts west and northwest of Suwayda city, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), said, adding that "no casualties have been reported."

Moreover, a dronezap reportedly targeted an ammunition depot near the Druze fighters’ positions west of the city.

Separately, Suwayda24, a local outlet that focuses on the Druze-majority province, reported that festivities had erupted on Monday along Suwayda city’s western axis after pro-government security forces reportedly opened fire on a civilian from the al-Hmaydan tribe working his land alongside other farmers.

"The incident caused material damage to their transport bus and sparked an exchange of heavy gunfire between the two sides," said the outlet.

Late last month, a passenger coach on the Damascus-Suwayda road was fired upon "by unidentified button men," leading to several casualties.

The violence underscores continued tensions in Suwayda, where rival armed factions continue to defy local ceasefire efforts despite repeated calls for restraint.

Clashes between Druze fighters and Bedouin tribes erupted in the southern Syria province in mid-July, escalating with the involvement of Damascus forces and Israel before a ceasefire was announced on July 19.

Since then, Syrian security forces have been deployed across the province, while Druze factions remain in control of Suwayda city.

UN Special Envoy to Syria Geir Pedersen in late July reported that despite the ceasefire, numerous violations have been recorded. He warned that the situation in the Druze majority province remains "tense and volatile."
