Ethnic clashes in #Sudan’s Blue Nile state in a deadly land dispute killed 105 people and wounded 291, the state’s health minister says.https://t.co/4t8hurez8Z
A campaign of raiding dozens of houses in the city of Aden, southern Yemen, by a security force affiliated with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) aroused widespread resentment among the residents, local sources said Wednesday.
The sources reported that members of the so-called “Security Belt” forces raided a number of citizens’ homes in Dar Saad district, under the pretext of searching for explosive materials, a few hours after an attack targeting a security belt patrol in the same district.
The STC armed factions stormed the house of the former Defense Minister, Abdullah Ali Aliwa, early today in Aden city, and arrested his son and a number of his grandchildren.
These factions did not explain the motives for storming the house of Aliwa, a prominent military man belongs to Shabwah province.
Saudi occupation forces confiscated on Wednesday dozens of fishing boats in the occupied Mahrah Governorate, eastern Yemen.
Local media sources confirmed that the Saudi forces launched a new campaign against the fishermen on the coasts of Al-Ghaydah, the capital of the governorate.
The sources indicated that the Saudi forces confiscated more than 20 fishing boats for citizens in the city. The sources indicated that the Saudi forces prevented the fishermen from fishing again on the coast of the city.
This incident comes within the systematic campaign led by the coalition forces against Yemeni fishermen for years, in a clear step to deprive the country of its marine wealth and exploit it for its benefit.
At least four civilians were injured in-Hodeidah province on Thursday when the US-backed Saudi-led coalition forces targeted a car they were traveling in, in flagrant violation of the Sweden agreement.
A security source in the province said that the coalition forces targeted a civilian’s car with a guided missile in the village of Al-Murayr in Jabal Ras area, injuring four civilians with varying degrees of injuries.
The source condemned the coalition forces’ continued violations of the Sweden agreement and the armistice declared by the United Nations.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] At least three members of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militias were injured on Wednesday, when gunmen attacked their police vehicle in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden.
This was reported by Yemen News Portal, based on testimonies of security sources.
According to the sources, the nmen, whom they described as “outlaws”, attacked a group belonging to the security faction that runs Dar Saad directorate while it was tracking down explosives, which resulted in the injury of three soldiers and destruction of their vehicle.
The source claimed that the security forces have arrested perpetrators and referred them to prosecution.
Dar Saad district has been witnessing conflicts between various factions. The border directorate between Lahj and Aden recently witnessed clashes and mutual attacks between the Security Belt forces and the faction of security director Musleh al-Tharhani.
Al-Tharhani forces also recently clashed with the so-called Al-Amaliqa Brigades over the issue of raising Yemeni flags.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The Saudi-led coalition aircraft on Wednesday resumed its airstrikes on Yemen, amid international movement to extend the UN-brokered truce, which reflects efforts to undermine it.
Official military source in Sana’a stated that the coalition warplanes launched, during the past hours, three air raids on Dhalea province, southern Yemen.
The official “Saba” news agency quoted the source as saying “the raids came as part of the violations committed by the coalition factions on the fighting fronts by creating new sites and fortifications.”
The new raids come a few days after the US president ended his tour in the region, which included holding a summit in Saudi Arabia, the first since he rose to power in the United States.
[FoxNews] The first of six people charged with setting fire to police vehicles in Philadelphia during the 2020 protests after the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police has been sentenced.
Ayoub Tabri, 25, was sentenced Monday to 364 days behind bars -- less time than he's already served in custody, and short enough to avoid triggering deportation proceedings for the Moroccan immigrant.
Lawyers for Tabri, of Arlington, Va., said the green card holder has been in the U.S. since he was 6 years old. A longer sentence, which he and the others faced under the original arson charges that carried a minimum sentence of seven years in prison, could have sent him to a country where he knew no one and didn't speak the language, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Former U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain had vowed to pursue the harsher arson charges against the six people arrested. After he left office last year, federal prosecutors worked out plea deals with a handful of those defendants, including Tabri and Lore-Elizabeth Blumenthal. Still, prosecutors argued for a longer sentence in court Monday.
Tabri pleaded guilty in March to one count of obstructing law enforcement during civil disorder, according to court records.
"The judge took into consideration the appropriate factors and imposed a just sentence," Nancy MacEoin, a federal public defender representing Tabri, said Tuesday.
Once released, Tabri will serve three years probation and have to pay about $87,000 in restitution for the Pennsylvania State Police car destroyed after he and others threw lit road flares into the vehicle.
Blumenthal, who pleaded guilty to two counts of obstructing law enforcement during civil disorder related to throwing a piece of burning police barrier at a police car, is scheduled to be sentenced later this month. Police used photos from the protest and social media profiles to find Blumenthal, 35, from Jenkintown, who was wearing a distinctive shirt investigators tracked down on Etsy and had a recognizable tattoo.
Attorney Paul Hetznecker declined to comment on the specifics of Blumenthal's case, but said the shift in prosecution against defendants facing charges from the protests is important.
"This reflects an evolution in the thinking of prosecutors in the justice department
...what a gentle way to describe being unprincipled political hacks...
about these cases and putting them in the appropriate context," Hetznecker said. "These cases occurred at an important flashpoint in our history, and they should be viewed that way."
The case against Blumenthal was widely criticized by civil rights advocates, who worried it was a signal of policies promoting heavier social media and internet surveillance of dissidents.
Did any of those wide civil rights advocates protest the exact same use of social media to hint down the January 6 protesters?
McSwain's initial charges also became a symbol of federal officials' zeal to pursue stiff penalties for those arrested during the nationwide protests.
Another defendant is scheduled for a plea hearing to lesser charges later this month. The three others charged in the police vehicle fires are slated to go to trial later this year.
US Attorney William McSwain announced charges against four men stemming from their alleged involvement in police vehicle arsons during civil unrest in Philadelphia over the summer.
Anthony David Smith, Khalif Miller, and Carlos Matchett have each been charged with two counts of arson and one count of obstructing law enforcement, U.S. Attorney William McSwain said on Thursday.
According to McSwain, the three men are accused of using a road flare to torch a Philadelphia police patrol car parked near City Hall on May 30, as violent mostly peaceful demonstrations unfolded in the city following the death of St. George Floyd ...the patron saint of Minneapolis, a sterling example for our children and indeed for us all. St. George was martyed by the Devil's agents in blue while standing on a street corner preaching tolerance and racial justice or something like that... Smith has been identified by the Workers World Party,
...a revolutionary Marxist–Leninist-Trotskyist political party in the United States founded in 1959 by Sam Marcy of the Socialist Workers Party....
as a high school teacher, community leader and organizer with Philly REAL (Racial, Economic and Legal) Justice. They say Smith has been a 'prominent organizer' of the Black Lives Matter Movement since 2015 and has led countless marches in that time.
So prominent he is now appearing in the Rantburg archives for the first time...
"Mr. Smith was not in any way targeted by my office, I knew nothing about Mr. Smith or his affiliations until the investigation was nearly complete," McSwain said. "We do not investigate people at the US Attorney's office, we investigate alleged criminal behavior."
According to McSwain, the three men are accused of using a road flare to torch a Philadelphia police patrol car near City Hall on May 30, as violent mostly peaceful demonstrations unfolded in the city following the death of George Floyd.
Also indicted on Thursday was Ayoub Tabri,
...known to his friends as Spliff, for some reason...
a 24-year-old man from Arlington, Virginia. Tabri is alleged to have thrown a road flare into a Pennsylvania State Police SUV positioned near the on-ramp for I-676, which caused the car to become engulfed in flames. He has been charged with two counts of arson, and one count of obstructing law enforcement.
As a result of Tabri's alleged actions, McSwain said an officer who was standing near the torched vehicle was hit by a thrown road flare and his uniform caught fire. The trooper was also burned on the hand when he reached into the engulfed cruiser to retrieve a rifle to prevent it from being stolen.
If convicted, all four defendants face a mandatory minimum of seven years in prison, and a maximum possible sentence of 65 years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $750,000.
"I want to be clear that we at the U.S. Attorney’s Office support peaceful protest — indeed, it is part of our job to protect First Amendment freedoms," McSwain said. "But violence is not speech. There is no right to riot, loot, rob, destroy or commit arson."

The people this gentleman was arrested with were led by an Antifa cadre, so I’m moving this to Page 1: WoT, Fifth Column. I’m not at home so I’ll add the details later.
[OneIndia] A Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT) terror network was unmasked and seven members of the outfit were arrested in Jammu and Rajouri districts, police said on Monday.
They said most of terror cases in Jammu province have been solved with the busting of the three LeT modules in two districts, a PTI report said.

A security source in Saladin reported that four members of the Federal police were killed, while five others were wounded, in an ISIS attack that took place earlier today, Wednesday, in Mutaybija,
...alternate spelling Matibija...
between Diyala and Saladin.
The source told Shafaq News agency that the terrorists used sniper weapons and medium weapons against the Federal police checkpoints, noting that the perpetrators fled after military reinforcements were brought to the site.
Mutaybija is one of the most dangerous ISIS sites between Diyala, Kirkuk, and Saladin. It is nicknamed the "Emirate of evil", and is still a safe hideout for the terrorists.
ICYMI: Turkish airstrikes have killed eight tourists in northern #Iraq and wounded over 20, Iraqi Kurdish officials say. #Turkeyhttps://t.co/4hjC0iiZdc
[DW] Iraqi officials have blamed The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... for an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... on the Kurdistan region that killed at least eight tourists. But Turkey has distanced itself from the shelling, saying it was a "terror attack."
The Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry referred to the airstrike as a "terror attack" and expressed condolences to Iraq.
Ankara went on to urge Iraqi officials to avoid making statements influenced by "terrorist organization propaganda," an apparent reference to the PKK.
The ministry added that Turkey was ready to cooperate in investigating the attack.
An earlier statement from Turkey's Defense Ministry said two Kurdish forces of Evil had surrendered to a Ottoman Turkish security point at the Habur border crossing, about 10 kilometers (16 miles) from Zakho — but made no mention of the shelling.

After General Mills zapped the Griswalds in the ending scene of Afghanistan Vacation, its the safe move.
[IsraelTimes] Victim, 41, attacked with screwdriver on bus near Ramot; civilian shoots stabber before officers reach area.
An Israeli man was moderately hurt in a suspected terror stabbing attack on a bus near Jerusalem’s northeastern Ramot neighborhood on Tuesday, police and medics said.
The 41-year-old man was stabbed in the head by a Paleostinian man, also in his 40s, while traveling on bus line 137, near the Ramot Junction, officials said.
He was taken to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, which said his condition was not life-threatening.
According to police, the assailant attacked the man on the bus with a screwdriver during the ride, as the bus left Ramot. The driver then halted and the passengers fled the bus, police said.
The alleged assailant was shot and maimed by a passerby, Meshi Ben Ami, a Ynet news site photographer, who noticed the incident shortly before officers arrived at the scene.
"I got out of the car, loaded my gun and realized it was a terror attack. The stabber came to me, I did not hesitate and fired one bullet at him. I heard him praying in Arabic," Ben Ami told the Kan public broadcaster.
The suspected stabber was taken to a hospital, where he was listed as being in moderate condition, police said.
A defense official told The Times of Israel that the stabber had a permit to enter Israel, but did not carry a BMC (businessman card) permit given to senior Paleostinian businesspeople, as several Hebrew-language media outlets reported. Rather, the brother of the assailant had a BMC permit, the official said.
Police added thon the lam numbers of officers arrived at the scene, and were investigating the circumstances. Jerusalem District Commander Doron Turgeman held an assessment at the scene.
A spokesperson for the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group praised the attack. In a statement, Hazem Qassem said the stabbing was an "act of heroism," adding that it was a "natural response to the crimes of the occupation against the holy places of Islam and Christianity in Jerusalem."
"The attack once again emphasizes the failure of attempts to stop the resistance in the occupied West Bank and the city of Jerusalem," the statement said.
Earlier this month, a Paleostinian man was arrested for allegedly attacking and seriously wounding an Israeli man near the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak.
Last month, a Paleostinian man was detained on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City after he allegedly attempted to stab officers before fleeing the scene.
Between mid-March and the beginning of May, a string of deadly attacks across Israel and the West Bank left 19 people dead.
