[SUDANTRIBUNE] Eight Darfur former rebel groups announced a joint plan on Sunday to regain control of Darfur cities currently held by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group in the region.
In recent months, the RSF seized control of four state capitals: Nyala of South Darfur, Geneina of West Darfur, Daein of East Darfur, and Zalingei of Central Darfur. Only El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, remains under the control 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. The country is currently enjoying a civil war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which used to be part of the army but then they got another ambitious general and you can guess the rest... ese army.
The three-day conference, held in the Barkal area of North Darfur, brought together signatories to the Juba Peace Agreement, including the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) led by Minni Minawi, the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) led by Gibril Ibrahim, the Gathering of Sudan Liberation Forces (GSLF) led by Abdallah Yahiya, the Sudanese Alliance led by al-Bukhari Ahmed, SLM of Mustafa Tambour, JEM of Bakhit Dabajo, SLM-Transitional Council of Mustafa Rassas and the SLM- Leadership Council. Additionally, the Sudanese Popular Body for Supporting the Armed Forces and Building Sudan and Darfur Region Popular Support and Resistance® Body.
According to a joint statement, the conference produced "a strategic plan with humanitarian, social, political, military, and security aspects. The goal is to retake cities under militia control, improve civilian protection, and preserve the unity of Sudan’s land and people."
The statement emphasized the movements’ commitment to collaborating with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), the national army, and other legitimate state institutions "to prevent the collapse of Sudan.
The groups also pledged to engage with international actors, including embassies, diplomatic missions, and human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. and humanitarian organizations. They aim to "raise awareness of the war’s realities and associated violations, rectify misconceptions, and expose the RSF’s crimes."
The statement condemned countries supporting the RSF, specifically the United Arab Emirates and the Chadian government. It further denounced "agents" — foreign countries and Sudanese political forces — accused of seeking to divide the nation and bolster the RSF’s image despite its alleged crimes.
The conference called for documenting RSF crimes and violations to ensure perpetrators face fair trials, upholding the principle of accountability.
Among the signatory groups, the SLM- Transitional Council led by Hadi Idris and the GSLF led by Tahir Hajer have refused to join the army and instead call for neutrality. The holdout faction of the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Abdel Wahid al-Nur also maintains its stance of neutrality in the ongoing conflict.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] 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. The country is currently enjoying a civil war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which used to be part of the army but then they got another ambitious general and you can guess the rest... ’s Assistant Military Commander, Lieutenant General Yasir al-Atta, suggested on Sunday the armed forces may lead the country for "several years" following a claimed military victory.
During an inspection of military operations in Omdurman, al-Atta stated, "After our imminent victory, we will enter a founding period without reliance on political parties." He emphasized the Sudanese people and "young popular resistance" would be the driving force.
His comments raise concerns about a potential extension of military rule. His statement echoes previous statements by military leaders rejecting any power-sharing with the pro-democracy forces during the post-war period.
Al-Atta further asserted, "We will establish a state based on national principles, not for those serving foreign interests or betraying the nation. Those who wronged Sudan will be held accountable."
The General visited operation centres alongside the Mobile Command, signifying military support for ongoing war efforts. He declared the operations are progressing as planned and victory is inevitable.
Al-Atta also criticized "evil countries and diaspora Arabs," potentially referencing the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Sudan accuses the UAE of supplying weapons, equipment, and funding to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group. These accusations have been formally presented to the UN Security Council, prompting a session scheduled for Monday.
The UAE has consistently denied these allegations, claiming a lack of evidence.

[AFRICANEWS] Leaked photographs of the son of Libya's late dictator Muammar Qadaffy ...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest... and the tiny underground cell where he has been held for years in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... have raised concerns in the north African nation as Libyan authorities demand improvements.
The photos showed a room without natural light packed with Hannibal Qadaffy's belongings, a bed and a tiny toilet. "I live in misery," local al-Jadeed TV quoted the detainee as saying in a Saturday evening broadcast, adding that he is a political prisoner in a case he has no information about.
Two Lebanese judicial officials confirmed to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on Monday that the photographs aired by al-Jadeed are of Qadaffy and the cell where he has been held for years at police headquarters in Beirut. Qadaffy appeared healthy, with a light beard and glasses.
A person who is usually in contact with Qadaffy, a Libyan citizen, said the photos were taken in recent days. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media outlets.
Qadaffy has been held in Lebanon since 2015 after he was kidnapped from neighboring Syria, where he had been living as a political refugee. He was kidnapped by Lebanese murderous Moslems demanding information about the fate of prominent Lebanese Shiite holy man Moussa al-Sadr, who went missing during a trip to Libya in 1978.
The fate of al-Sadr has been a sore point in Lebanon. His family believes he may still be alive in a Libyan prison, though most Lebanese presume al-Sadr, who would be 95 now, is dead.
A Libyan delegation visited Beirut in January to reopen talks with Lebanese officials on the fate of al-Sadr and the release of Qadaffy. The talks were aimed at reactivating a dormant agreement between Lebanon and Libya, struck in 2014, for cooperation in the probe of al-Sadr. The delegation did not return to Beirut as planned.
The leaks by al-Jadeed came after reports that Qadaffy was receiving special treatment at police headquarters and that he had cosmetic surgeries including hair transplants and teeth improvements. al-Jadeed quoted him as saying: "Let them take my hair and teeth and give me my freedom."
Qadaffy went on a hunger strike in June last year and was taken to a hospital after his health deteriorated.
Libya's Justice Ministry in a statement Sunday said Qadaffy is being deprived of his rights guaranteed by law. It called on Lebanese authorities to improve his living conditions to one that "preserves his dignity," adding that Lebanese authorities should formally inform the ministry of the improvements. It also said Qadaffy deserves to be released.
After he was kidnapped in 2015, Lebanese authorities freed him but then detained him, accusing him of concealing information about al-Sadr's disappearance.
Al-Sadr was the founder of the Amal group, a Shiite militia that fought in Lebanon's 1975-90 civil war and later became a political party that is currently led by the country's Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri ...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... Many of al-Sadr's followers are convinced that Muammar Qadaffy ordered al-Sadr killed in a dispute over Libyan payments to Lebanese militias. Libya has maintained that the holy man, along with two traveling companions, left Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... in 1978 on a flight to Rome.
Human Rights Watch issued a statement in January calling for Qadaffy's release. The rights group noted that Qadaffy was only 2 years old at the time of al-Sadr's disappearance and held no senior position in Libya as an adult.

...A couple of brief Reality Checks(TM):
* Young Mr. Quadaffy is every bit as insane as his Jheri-curled dad was, and by most accounts I've run across, every bit as sadistic and then some. A closet-sized cell is a delightful touch for this palace-raised goon.
*Moussa el-Sadr achieved Norwegian Blue status decades ago, but the Quadaffys had...how shall I put this? - a thing about the remains of their enemies. The Quadaffy kids were in charge of the bodies of several enemies of the state, including the two USAF aircrew lost during ELDORADO CANYON in 1986 - only one of whom has come home. Dad also spent years and millions looking for the missing members of the crew of the Lady be Good - whose wreckage he recovered out of the middle of the desert and secured in Benghazi ever since. There are reliable reports of a secure morgue facility where Dad could come and look at those remains and gloat any time he wanted.
[AFRICANEWS] The State Court is expected to rule in about ten days on the lifting of the immunity of the ousted president, Mohammed Bazoum, to stand trial, particularly for "high treason."
Mohammed Bazoum's defense team urges the State Court to reopen the debate to allow the ousted president's lawyers access to the case file, communicate with their client, and prepare his defense. Since the military coup, Mohammed Bazoum has remained detained at the presidential residence in Niamey with his wife.
In their document, the lawyers cite various national and international texts ratified by Niger that "mandate strict respect for the rights of the defense." They also question, in terms of legal interpretation, the designation of "former president," which would potentially enable the lifting of his immunity: he has not completed his term, resigned, or passed away, they note.
[BBC] French President Emmanuel Macron has urged Rwanda to "halt its support" for the M23 rebels wreaking havoc in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... In a joint presser with DR Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi, who is on a visit to Gay Paree, Mr Macron said: "Rwanda must halt its support for M23 and withdraw its forces from Congolese territory."
The M23 first began operating in 2012 ostensibly to protect the Tutsi population in eastern DR Congo, which had long complained of persecution and discrimination.
The UN, EU and US have said that Rwanda, which is also led by Tutsis, is backing the M23. The government in Kigali has repeatedly denied this.
Last March, when asked to condemn Rwanda's reported support for the rebels, Mr Macron said he had been "very clear about the condemnation of the M23 and those who support it".
[IsraelTimes] Country’s higher education minister criticizes decision, insisting there were no antisemitic remarks or violence at the Sciences Po demonstrations
The Gay Paree region authority sparked controversy Tuesday by temporarily suspending funding for Sciences Po, one of the country’s most prestigious universities, after it was rocked by tense pro-Paleostinian and anti-Israel demonstrations.
"I have decided to suspend all regional funding for Sciences Po until calm and security have been restored at the school," Valerie Pecresse, the right-wing head of the greater Gay Paree Ile-de-La Belle France region, said on social media on Monday.
She took aim at "a minority of radicalized people calling for antisemitic hatred" and accused hard-left politicians of seeking to exploit the tensions.
Regional support for the Gay Paree-based university includes 1 million euros ($1.07 million) earmarked for 2024, a member of Pecresse’s team told AFP.
On Tuesday, the university’s acting administrator, Jean Basseres, said he regretted the decision.
"The Ile-de-La Belle France region is an essential partner of Sciences Po, and I wish to maintain dialogue on the position expressed by Mrs. Pecresse," he told French daily Le Monde in an interview.
In an echo of tense demonstrations rocking many top United States universities, students at Sciences Po have staged a number of protests, with some students furious over the Israel-Hamas ...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... war and ensuing humanitarian crisis in the Gazoo
Islamic 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. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation. Strip.
La Belle France is home to the world’s largest Jewish population after Israel and the US, as well as Europe’s biggest Moslem community.
University officials called in police to clear a protest last week. On Monday, police broke up a student protest demanding an end to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza at Sorbonne, another top French university.
French Higher Education Minister Sylvie Retailleau said on Tuesday the French government had no plans to suspend funding for Sciences Po.
Speaking to broadcaster La Belle France 2, she estimated the state’s funding for the university at 75 million euros ($80 million). She said there had been "no antisemitic remarks" and no violence had been committed during the demonstrations.
Both Basseres and Retailleau also said there were no plans to suspend Sciences Po’s collaboration with universities in Israel.
’COUNTER-TERRORISM METHODS’
Critics on the left denounced Pecresse’s announcement.
"It’s shameful and an absolute scandal," said Mathilde Panot, the head of hard-left La Belle France Unbowed (LFI) deputies in parliament, adding the behavior of the students was a "credit to the world and a credit to our country."
Panot and Rima Hassan, a Franco-Paleostinian activist who is running on the LFI list for European elections, were on Tuesday questioned in an investigation into suspected justification of "terrorism" over comments on the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel.
Several hundred people staged a solidarity rally in support of the two women on Tuesday morning.
"In what democracy are counter-terrorism methods used against political activists, community activists and trade unionists?" Panot, 35, told her supporters, who chanted "Resistance®" and waved Paleostinian flags.
"I want to tell the pro-Israeli lobby organizations behind these complaints that they will not silence us," added 32-year-old Hassan.
[FoxNews] Sen Ted Cruz's office says the Texas Republican remains committed to Israel no matter the 'harassment or intimidation' he faces at home.
Anti-Israel radicals have protested outside of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz’s Texas home more than a dozen times in recent weeks, with the agitators reportedly tied to the Students for Justice in Palestine group occupying college campuses nationwide, Fox News Digital exclusively learned.
Cruz’s home in Houston has been the target of 14 protests since February, including a protest on Friday when one suspect was arrested. Cruz’s office said that the senator remains resolute in his support of Israel, while brushing off the protesters' tactics of "harassment or intimidation."
"Senator Cruz will continue to stand with Israel and support Israel's right to defend itself and utterly eradicate Hamas. No amount of harassment or intimidation by terrorist supporters will change that," a spokesman for the senator said.
Student agitators have infiltrated college campuses nationwide in recent weeks, including radicals on Columbia University’s campus taking over the campus’ Hamilton Hall building, while schools such as UCLA, Harvard and Yale are working to clear student encampments where protesters demand their elite schools completely divest from Israel.
The protests are associated with groups tied to far-left organizations backed by dark money and liberal mega-donor George Soros, Fox News Digital previously reported. Namely, the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) has had a large presence amid the protests on Columbia University’s campus, as well as on the campuses of UCLA, Tufts and the University of Texas at Austin in Cruz’s home state.
The NSJP is a national group with at least 200 chapters across the U.S. and regularly compares Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to Nazi Germany and the Jim Crow era in the U.S. and accuses Israel of genocide, Influence Watch reported. NSJP's origins stretch back to 1993 on UC Berkeley's campus, according to NGO Monitor.
The national chapter celebrated Hamas' initial attack on Israel in October, describing it as an "historic win for the Palestinian resistance," The New York Times reported in October.
"This is what it means to Free Palestine: not just slogans and rallies, but armed confrontation with the oppressors," the group continued at the time.
The NSJP operates under a fiscal sponsor called Westchester Peace Action Committee Foundation, which previously received a six-figure donation from a nonprofit bankrolled by the Soros network, Fox News Digital previously reported.
The group and its affiliates have been banned or censured by universities for their support of Hamas, including Brandeis banning the group following calls "for violence against Jews," while Rutgers University suspended the group in December, as did Case Western in March.
The protesters outside of Cruz’s home in recent months are tied to Students for Justice in Palestine, law enforcement told the senator, Fox News Digital has learned.
The Houston Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that law enforcement have repeatedly responded to Cruz’s home over the protests this year but outlined that the police department can only publicly confirm there have been assemblies outside the residence, not identify specific groups the protesters are affiliated with.
One protester was arrested on Friday evening, according to law enforcement. Cruz posted on X that evening that protesters were clanging cowbells and yelling for two hours on his street. Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris County Constable's office for additional details on the arrest but did not immediately receive a reply.
"This is America in 2024, and this is a result of the sickness that has taken over our universities. This is a result of cultural Marxism that has infiltrated and seized control of the faculty and the administration."
"So, this is going on right now. It’s nearly 11 pm. Pro-Hamas protestors have been screaming and cursing for 2 hours. Banging cowbells & blowing whistles," Cruz posted on Friday.
"When a neighbor who has small kids asked an officer to do something, the protesters screamed that she was a "f---ing b----!"
Cruz has previously been the ire of liberal protesters working to stage demonstrations outside his house in Houston’s Royal Oaks neighborhood, including in 2021 when 60 to 70 climate activists gathered. This year, the protesters have assembled on a near-weekly basis, condemning Cruz for supporting Israel, Axios reported.
"The point is to show that he does have constituents that don't align with his very bigoted views. … We don't support him being AIPAC-funded and his allegiance to a foreign government," one regular protester told Axios Houston in March.
They would be the constituents who’ve failed to keep him from being elected and reelected to various things since 2008? Scarey.
[HILL] Former President Trump made unfounded claims Tuesday that pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University contained "paid agitators" as nationwide college campus protests escalate.
Hundreds of New York Police Department officers, many with batons and in riot gear, cleared Columbia University’s protest encampments on Tuesday evening, including arresting students who occupied a campus building.
Trump claimed in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity during the police operation that many of the protesters did not believe in what they were protesting for.
"I really think you have a lot of paid agitators, professional agitators in here too, and I see it all over," he said. "You know, when you see signs and they’re all identical. That means they’re being paid by a source."
"You know, these aren’t hand-painted signs where people would go to their basement and paint something because they really believed that. These are all signs that are identical that made by the same printer," he continued. "And you know, when you see that that means there’s somebody at the top that’s paying, or a group that’s paying, and they’re doing a great disservice to the world, but they’re doing a great disservice to our country."
There is no evidence that any protester at Columbia University or any of the nationwide pro-Palestine protests are a paid demonstrator or otherwise not an authentic protester.

Material aid to a designated terror group, e.g., Hamas, is a crime per section 2339 of Title 18 U.S.C.
"(1) Unlawful conduct.—
Whoever knowingly provides material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both, and, if the death of any person results, shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life. To violate this paragraph, a person must have knowledge that the organization is a designated terrorist organization (as defined in subsection (g)(6)), that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act), or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorism (as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989)."
Of course, to enforce this would require the US DOJ to actually, uh, enforce it.

MAIL - The group behind pro-Palestine student protests at Columbia received 'over $3 million a year' – and is linked to organizations accused of funding terrorist organization Hamas, a new think tank has revealed.
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a campus group with more than 250 chapters across the country, is one of the main organizers of a protest that brought the Manhattan university to a standstill.
The new report by the think tank Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), reveals the group got millions from several charities with alleged links to Hamas.
The 73-page report, exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, also pointed out explicit pro-Hamas statements, chants and placards by protesters, and asserted that the demonstration has crossed the line from criticism of the Israeli government to bald-faced antisemitism.
The report also called for a law enforcement and government investigation into SJP.
[FoxNews] Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data is revealing the more than 45 cities in the U.S. that hundreds of thousands of migrants have flown into via a controversial parole program for four nationalities — with the vast majority entering the U.S. via airports in Florida.
During an eight-month period from January through August 2023, roughly 200,000 migrants flew into the U.S. via the program. Of those, 80% of them, (161,562) arrived in the state of Florida in four cities: Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa Bay, according to DHS data obtained via a subpoena by the House Homeland Security Committee and provided to Fox News.
The policy was first announced for Venezuelans in October 2022, which allowed a limited number to fly or travel directly into the U.S. as long as they had not entered illegally, had a sponsor in the U.S. already, and passed certain biometric and biographical vetting. The program does not itself facilitate flights, and migrants are responsible for their own travel.
In January 2023, the administration announced that the program was expanding to include Haitians, Nicaraguans and Cubans and that the program would allow up to 30,000 people per month into the U.S. It allows for migrants to receive work permits and a two-year authorization to live in the U.S. and was announced alongside an expansion of Title 42 expulsions to include those nationalities. By the end of February 2024, more than 400,000 nationals have arrived under the parole program, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently said the program is a "safe and orderly way to reach the United States" and has "led to a reduction in numbers of those nationalities."
"It is a key element of our efforts to address the unprecedented level of migration throughout our hemisphere, and other countries around the world see it as a model to tackle the challenge of increased irregular migration that they too are experiencing," Mayorkas said.
The top 15 cities migrants flew into during the eight-month window are:
1) Miami, Florida: 91,821
2) Ft. Lauderdale, Florida: 60,461
3) New York City, New York: 14,827
4) Houston, Texas: 7,923
5) Orlando, Florida: 6,043
6) Los Angeles, California: 3,271
7) Tampa, Florida: 3,237
8) Dallas, Texas: 2,256
9) San Francisco, California: 2,052
10) Atlanta, Georgia: 1,796
11) Newark, New Jersey: 1,498
12) Washington, D.C.: 1,472
13) Chicago, Illinois: 496
14) Las Vegas, Nevada: 483
15) Austin, Texas: 171
DHS also revealed in the subpoena response that as of October 2023, there were about 1.6 million applicants waiting for DHS approval to fly to the U.S. via the parole program.
DHS said in its subpoena response, "All individuals paroled into the United States are, by definition, inadmissible, including those paroled under the CHNV processes."

Tipping Florida, what else could explain the focus? An honest mind might see this as a criminal conspiracy under color of authority, but I'm sure the DOJ-NSD is all over it...
[GEO.TV] Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has appointed Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... President Rana Sanaullah as his adviser on political and public affairs.
President Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari ...former president of Pakistain, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in... approved the appointment of the PML-N stalwart as the prime minister's adviser, according to an official statement issued on Tuesday.
The statement posted on president’s official account on X, formerly Twitter, said that Sanaullah will have the status of a federal minister.
"The president approved the appointment of Rana Sanaullah Khan on prime minister’s advice under Article 93-1 of the Constitution," the post read.
It is pertinent to mention that the PML-N stalwart served as the interior minister during the previous government, but lost in general election 2024 on the National Assembly seat (NA-100) in Faisalabad ...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after... Sanaullah's appointment comes a day after Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar’s designation as deputy prime minister as an additional charge to his existing post.
It may be noted that the former interior minister had recently expressed the possibility of being given role in the federal government.
While speaking on Geo News programme "Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath" on Monday, the politician said that Nawaz would decide about giving a ministry to him after concluding his China visit.

[IsraelNationalNews] The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Tuesday rejected a request by Nicaragua to issue Germany emergency orders to desist selling arms to Israel, by 15 votes to one, The Guardian reported.
The decision, according to the judgment read in court in The Hague, is largely based on a significant decrease in recent German arms sales to Israel, the largely defensive nature of arms recently sold, and the extensive internal German government processes to consider if arms would be used to prosecute war crimes or genocide.
Nicaragua last month filed a case at the ICJ that seeks an end to German military and other aid to Israel, based on claims that Berlin is "facilitating" acts of genocide.
[GEO.TV] The UN human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... chief said on Tuesday he was "troubled" by heavy-handed actions taken by US security forces during attempts to break up pro-Paleostinian protests on college campuses.
"I am concerned that some of law enforcement actions across a series of universities appear disproportionate in their impacts," Volker Turk said in a statement sent to journalists, in which he made reference to arrests and sanctions of students.
"It must be clear that legitimate exercises of the freedom of expression cannot be conflated with incitement to violence and hatred," he added.

...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.
