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 and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has risen to 345, with over 2,600 injured since the fighting began a year ago.

Wonder if that's what happened to our
Darfurian moslem?
[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... ese activists reported the deaths of 11 civilians in Omdurman on Saturday due to artillery shelling by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF, in turn, accused the Sudanese army of bombing the Khartoum oil refinery with explosive barrels, causing significant damage.
The attack on Omdurman, described as indiscriminate by local resistance committees, targeted civilians waiting for transportation and residents in the al-Manara neighbourhood. The shells were reportedly fired from RSF positions in Khartoum North.
The RSF also claimed that the army bombed the al-Gaili oil refinery, the largest in the country and under RSF control since the conflict began in April 2023. The RSF condemned the alleged attack as "systematic destruction and sabotage of public facilities."
Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, Bart was wondering if fisticuffs would be appropriate at this point... the Sudanese army conducted Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on RSF targets in El Fasher and Nyala, the capitals of North and South Darfur states, respectively. These cities have seen intense fighting in recent days, with El Fasher particularly under siege by the RSF.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) face widespread condemnation after video footage surfaced showing the execution of retired Lieutenant Mohammed Siddiq following his capture. Siddiq had gained prominence during the 2019 sit-in at army headquarters for defying orders and supporting protesters.
The RSF fighters announced in a first video the killing of the revolutionary officer, but a second video emerged showing Siddiq alive in captivity, being slapped after his defiant response, "From which side?" to a question about his opinion on the RFS.
The incident has sparked significant outrage on social media, given Siddiq’s role in the protests that led to the ousting of former President Omer al-Bashir.
The execution has been labelled "a war crime" by Yasir Arman, a leader in the Coordination of Democratic Civil Forces "Tagaddum." Arman also noted that the army has committed similar atrocities, emphasizing that "No one should bear the burden of another’s wrongdoing."
Hala al-Karib, regional director of the Network for Women of the Horn of Africa (SIHA), mourned Siddiq as "a symbol 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 revolution" and one of the first military to defy Bashir by refusing to shoot at protesters.
In 2020, Siddiq was forced into retirement by the Sudanese army for insubordination and military misconduct, along with other officers who sympathized with the protesters.
However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat... after the eruption of the war, he rejoined the army as a volunteer after denouncing the human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... violations committed by the paramilitary forces.
The RSF has not issued any official comment regarding Siddiq’s death. The incident highlights the ongoing brutality and human rights abuses in the conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese army.

[NEWARAB] Israel has denied any involvement in a helicopter crash that killed President Ebrahim Raisi on Sunday, following finger-pointing on social media about alleged culprits.
Hardliners Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and other senior Iranian officials perished when their helicopter crashed into a mountainside in bad weather with search-and-rescue efforts hampered by thick fog.
While there has been no confirmation about the cause of the crash, some people on social media have accused Iran's regional enemy, Israel, of being behind the incident with the two countries clashing in recent weeks.
"This is the footage of the crash of the chopper that killed the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, yesterday. The hand of Israel is strongly being discussed in Iran. Are we staring at World War 3?" one person speculated on Twitter.
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... itself has not accused Israel but the incident came amid heightened tensions between the two countries related to 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... and 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... , where Tehran supports Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... and Hezbollah.
The fact that the helicopter was returning from Azerbaijan - an Israeli ally - when it plunged into the remote wilderness of northern Iran did little to stop the finger-pointing.
"It is noteworthy that the last meeting of the Iranian President was with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Israel has established an intelligence base, an airfield, and an agreement to develop two new surveillance satellites from Azerbaijan. All of that is about Iran," wrote British-Iraqi rapper Lowkey.

Was there thick fog? They said there was thick fog. But when I checked the weather data over iran on the day the helicopter crashed, the weather day was missing.
Why would they scrub the weather data, that piques my interest.
[GEO.TV] At least 18 Paleostinians were killed in Israeli strikes on different areas of 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 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... , Al Jazeera reported quoting its correspondent and Wafa news agency.
As per the report, at least 13 people were killed in Israeli strikes on northern Gaza’s ravaged Jabalia refugee camp, while five other Paleostinians were killed in an attack that targeted a residential home in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahia.
GEO.TV] Israeli forces’ attack killed at least 26 members of the Assalia family and took down six houses, a witness told.
Willing/unwilling human shields or miscreants? There’s no other reason for the IDF to bomb Gazan properties at the moment.
Ibrahim Assalia, 46, a media lecturer originally from Gazoo who has been living in the United Kingdom since 2006, was talking to his brother on phone amid the attack.
"Pray for me, they are heavily shelling the area," Assalia recalled his brother as saying as the attack on Jabalia and his family took place

[The Palestinians] seem confident that if the Biden administration is rewarding them for malign behavior, it is clearly working, so why not keep it up?
The Palestinians are hoping to scare the Americans and prevent them from cooperating with Israel on the future of the Gaza Strip after the war.
The Biden administration did not, it seems, even demand that, in return for the humanitarian aid, the hostages be released or that the terrorists stop launching rockets into Israel.
Apparently, the Biden administration did not even request assurances that the aid would not be seized and diverted by the terrorists.
Hamas has earned at least $500 million from the aid trucks entering the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war in October 2023, according Ehud Yaari, an Israeli expert on Arab and Palestinian affairs.
[The Palestinians] consider the presence of US troops in the region as another form of "occupation" and an unwelcome intervention in the internal affairs of the Arabs in the Middle East.
As long as supplies are getting into the Gaza Strip, Hamas will not stop fighting or free the hostages.
Because of the Gaza pier, the Biden administration has made it immensely harder to free the hostages and end the war.
