Map showing the movements of forces since last year in the battles of South Kordofan state:
◉ Following the Sudanese Armed Forces' control over the roads linking Al-Dalami - Al-Dalang - Kadugli, which are strategic axes that include camps and checkpoints, the only remaining route left for the SPLM-N in South Kordofan is the rugged path extending from Kauda to Al-Khirsana to secure supply lines.
◉ The Kauda - Al-Khirsana road intersects with the national highway linking Kadugli and Talodi in the areas of Al-Hamra and Tambura. If the Armed Forces gain control of these two points, the SPLM-N will enter a state of complete siege, severely limiting its ability to deliver supplies, which could affect the balance of the battles.
◉ On the eastern axis, the forces of the 10th Infantry Division of the Armed Forces are now approximately 40 kilometers away from the city of Kauda, which the SPLM-N uses as its main center of operations.
A particularly Libyan way to lose a presidential election.

Abdullah Othman, head of the political team of presidential candidate Saif al Islam Qadaffy
@saifqaddafi
, said he was mourning Saif al Islam Gaddafi after reports spread that he had been killed.
Early accounts said he was shot in the yard of his home and that the assailants escaped, with initial claims blaming the 444th Brigade. The brigade later denied any role, saying it has no presence in Zintan and no connection to the clashes.
Other reports now point to forces linked to Khalifa Haftar’s UAE backed Libyan National Army, while separate Arabic accounts say he was killed during clashes with an elite unit affiliated with the General Command following an attempted arrest.
Additional reports place the incident in the Hamadah desert in the Zintan area, during clashes that lasted through the afternoon, with claims that he fought until the end.
Sources also say there had been a previous attempt on his life, and that Ajmi Al Atiri and his son were injured. The circumstances remain unclear, with conflicting accounts and no independent confirmation.
Ahmed Gaddafi, the cousin of Libyan politician Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, confirmed his death. He announced this on February 3 on the social media site X.
"Dr. Seif's last voice message was sent a day ago... He died for you, let his blood not be shed in vain," Ahmed Gaddafi wrote.
Possibly all his degrees were purchased (BS in either engineer or architecture, even the school was not sure, an MBA acquired along with international contacts in Vienna, then a PhD in something very wordy from the London School of Economics, ghost written by the Monitor Group) as necessary accessories for the circles he moved in. It was good ol’ Sword of Islam Khadaffy’s job to be handsome and charming, dear Reader, and nobody wa so rude as to say he was not.
He stressed that Saif al-Islam died as a martyr.
The Libyan portal Abaad News reported that the son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, 53-year-old Saif al-Islam, was killed in clashes south of Tripoli. Al Hadath TV, citing sources close to the Gaddafi family, claims that al-Islam was fatally wounded in an attack near his residence in Ez-Zintan. There were four attackers, all of whom fled the scene.
…as if they’d never been, according to professional informant Mahmoud the Weasel…
Libya's Attorney General's Office has formed a special commission to investigate the murder of Saif al-Islam.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was born on June 25, 1972, and was the second son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed in the fall of 2011.
Killed rather horribly. One has the impression Saif never really recovered from the shock, much like the French aristos during their Revolution. The Times of Israel adds:
Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son and one-time heir apparent of Libya’s late dictator Muammar Gaddafi, was killed in the town of Zintan, 136 kilometers (85 miles) southwest of the capital, Tripoli, according to two Libyan security officials in western Libya. The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
Khaled al-Zaidi, a lawyer for Seif al-Islam, confirmed his death on Facebook, without providing details.
Abdullah Othman Abdurrahim, who represented Gaddafi in the UN-brokered political dialogue that aimed to resolve Libya’s long-running conflict, also announced his death on Facebook.

MILITARY AIRSTRIKE NEUTRALIZED 27 BANDITS IN KATSINA DAWN OPERATION
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) component has recorded a major operational success in Katsina State following a precision air operation that neutralised a large number of armed bandits in Faskari Local Government Area.
Zagazola Makama learnt that the operation, conducted in the early hours of Feb. 1, targeted known bandit enclaves in the Shawu–Mununu forest axis, Ruwan Godiya area of Faskari LGA.
According to sources involved in the mission, the strikes followed sustained aerial reconnaissance that confirmed the presence of heavily armed elements believed to be responsible for recent attacks along the Bakori–Guga corridor.
“At about 6:30 a.m., NAF air assets executed a coordinated reconnaissance and strike mission on identified bandit camps in the Shawu Mununu forest,” the sources said.
“The targets were strongly linked to recent violent incidents in the area. The operation achieved its objective, with approximately 27 armed bandits neutralised.”
The sources said follow-up assessments indicated that the surviving members of the group fled the area in disarray, abandoning their hideouts and logistics.
The sources added that the precision of the air strikes significantly degraded the group’s operational capability and disrupted their freedom of movement within the forested belt stretching across parts of southern Katsina.

By Zagazola Makama
Troops of the Nigerian Army under Operation FANSAN YANMA, in collaboration with other security agencies, have foiled an early morning attack by armed bandits on Gandu Village in Wamako Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
Sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred on Feb. 1, 2026, at about 4:00 a.m., when a large group of bandits armed with sophisticated weapons invaded the community, firing sporadically.
On 2nd Feb, Pakistan’s Special Forces struck a newly established ISKP hideout. Drone strikes were conducted, followed by ground clearance operations.
11 terrorists were killed, while 3 were injured and arrested. The group included foreign fighters attempting to regroup after their Mastung stronghold was wiped out 3-4 months ago.
According to P-AM sources, ISKP backed by Al-Qaeda, is being dismantled before it can destabilise Pakistan.
[IsraelTimes] Hamas-run health ministry says 15 others were wounded, without specifying where or when; PM stresses to Witkoff that Israel demands Hamas be disarmed before Strip is reconstructed
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... hospitals received the bodies of three people killed by IDF gunfire as well as 15 maimed people over the past 24 hours, the Strip’s Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... -run health ministry said in a Tuesday afternoon report.
The reported deaths came even as the shaky ceasefire signed in October progressed with the limited reopening of the Rafah Crossing, a move hailed by Paleostinians and international organizations as a milestone for the agreement.
The Hamas-run health ministry did not identify those reportedly shot in the Gaza Strip, say where they were killed or injured, or specify the severity of the wounds. Nor did it say, as its near-daily reports frequently do, whether the dead were killed within the past 24 hours or before that.
The Israel Defense Forces said Monday that it killed four button men who approached troops near the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s north.
The four were not identified in Paleostinian media and it was unclear if any of their bodies were subsequently retrieved by Gaza’s first responders and brought to a hospital.
Meanwhile,
...back at the Senate, Odius Sepulcher called for war against the Visigoths... Paleostinian media reported at least two people killed and several maimed by the IDF in Gaza since Monday afternoon.
The IDF did not comment on all but one of the reports, but regularly says such shootings come in response to ceasefire violations.
According to Paleostinian media, 19-year-old Ahmed Aal was killed by IDF gunfire on Tuesday morning on the Hamas-controlled side of the ceasefire line south of Khan Younis, in the Strip’s south. His body was reportedly brought to Khan Younis’s Nasser Hospital.
The military said it wasn’t immediately aware of any shootings in the area. "No more than the usual massacres"
On Monday afternoon, a man was also reportedly rubbed out by the IDF on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line in Jabalia, in the Strip’s north. The man was not immediately identified. His body was reportedly brought to Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital.
Several people were also reportedly maimed Monday afternoon in an Israeli strike in central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp. The strike was said to have targeted a mourners’ tent.
Footage published by Arabic media showed first responders searching for people in the rubble in the immediate aftermath of the strike, and the maimed, including women and a small child, being taken to al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah.
According to the Gaza health ministry, Israeli fire has killed more than 500 people since the US-brokered truce between Hamas and Israel took effect in October after two years of war. The Hamas figures cannot be confirmed.
Paleostinian terror operatives have killed four Israeli soldiers since the truce, according to Israeli authorities.
The next phase of Trump’s plan includes complex issues such as Hamas disarmament, which the group has long rejected, further Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and the deployment of an international peacekeeping force.
Meeting US President Donald Trump ...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania... ’s special envoy Steve Witkoff in Jerusalem on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he stressed Israel’s uncompromising demand for Hamas to be disarmed, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, and the completion of the war objectives before Gaza’s reconstruction."
In an uncharacteristically verbose statement after a meeting with a senior US official — one that might indicate some anxiety over the issues at hand — Netanyahu’s office said that he told the US side "that the Paleostinian Authority will not be involved in governing the Strip in any way."
He also updated US Ambassador Mike Huckabee that bags belonging to the UNRWA agency for Paleostinian refugees were used to hide weapons, his office said.

[Regnum] Iranian naval boats attempted to detain a US-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz in the northwest Indian Ocean. CBS News reported this on February 3.
It was reported that six armed Iranian boats belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) approached the US-flagged tanker Stena Imperative. They radioed the tanker's crew, ordering them to stop their engines and prepare for inspection.
In response, the tanker increased speed and continued on to its destination in Bahrain, avoiding Iranian territorial waters. A US destroyer arrived at the scene of the incident and is currently escorting the vessel with US Air Force support. The tanker is scheduled to arrive in Bahrain on February 5.
Earlier, the US Armed Forces shot down an Iranian drone that allegedly acted aggressively towards an American aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea.
On February 1, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei stated that a potential US war against Iran would not remain localized but would assume a regional scale. The day before, Iranian Army Commander Amir Khatami announced that the country's armed forces were on full alert and monitoring enemy movements in the region. According to Khatami, the Iranian army " has its finger on the trigger.
[FoxNews] CENTCOM says an F-35C fighter jet from USS Abraham Lincoln shot down Iranian drone in 'self-defense'
The U.S. military shot down an unmanned Iranian drone Tuesday after it "aggressively approached a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier with unclear intent," a U.S. Central Command spokesman told Fox News.
"USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) was transiting the Arabian Sea approximately 500 miles from Iran’s southern coast when an Iranian Shahed-139 drone unnecessarily maneuvered toward the ship," Capt. Tim Hawkins added.
"The Iranian drone continued to fly toward the ship despite de-escalatory measures taken by U.S. forces operating in international waters," CENTCOM also said. " An F-35C fighter jet from Abraham Lincoln shot down the Iranian drone in self-defense and to protect the aircraft carrier and personnel on board."
Hawkins said no U.S. service members were injured and no U.S. equipment was damaged during the incident.
Hawkins also told Fox News on Tuesday that, "During a separate incident hours later in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces harassed a U.S.-flagged, U.S.-crewed merchant vessel lawfully transiting the international sea passage."
"Two IRGC boats and an Iranian Mohajer drone approached M/V Stena Imperative at high speeds and threatened to board and seize the tanker," the CENTCOM spokesman said. "Guided-missile destroyer USS McFaul (DDG 74) was operating in the area and immediately responded to the scene to escort M/V Stena Imperative with defensive air support from the U.S. Air Force. The situation de-escalated as a result, and the U.S.-flagged tanker is proceeding safely."
