[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has accused 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 army of bombing the al-Jaili Petroleum Refinery, located north of Khartoum, for the fourth time since the outbreak of the conflict between the two sides.
The Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... , which occurred at dawn on Wednesday, reportedly caused significant damage to the refinery.
In a statement, the RSF condemned the attack as a "barbaric act" that targeted a vital national asset. They further asserted that the Sudanese army’s actions violated international laws and conventions.
The Sudanese army has not yet commented on the allegations, but some activists have suggested that the army may have bombed an oil tank truck belonging to the RSF.
Pictures circulating on social media show thick smoke rising from the refinery, engulfed in flames.
The destruction of the al-Jaili Petroleum Refinery is likely to have a significant impact on Sudan’s economy, as it is a major supplier of fuel to the country. The incident also raises concerns about the safety of other critical infrastructure in Sudan, which could be targeted in future festivities.
The international community has called for both sides to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue to resolve the conflict peacefully. However, ars longa, vita brevis... there is no indication that either side is willing to back down from its demands, suggesting that the conflict is likely to continue for some time.
[AFRICANEWS] More than 50 non-combatants were killed in attacks in Æthiopia in November, denounced the Æthiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) on Wednesday, two weeks after negotiations between the government and the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) ended without agreement.
Classified as a "terrorist organization" by Addis Ababa, the OLA has been fighting the Æthiopian authorities since its split with the historic Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) in 2018, when the latter renounced armed struggle that year when current Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed came to power.
According to the EHRC, a statutorily independent public institution, OLF fighters killed 17 people and burned villages in Benishangul-Gumuz, northwest Æthiopia.
The EHRC also claimed that a further 30 people were killed in the Arsi zone of Oromia in a series of attacks by person or persons unknown, the victims including several members of the same family.
"The assailants killed the victims by lining them up after taking them out of their homes, while others were killed inside their homes," EHRC said in its report.
"Among the victims are a baby, a pregnant woman, and an 80-year-old (...) An undetermined number of injured people are currently receiving medical treatment."
"Nine members of the Lutheran church in the diocese of Hamo-Tokuma", in the Oromia region, "were killed by as yet person or persons unknown on November 25", EHRC also claimed.
All the attacks took place between November 23 and 29, after negotiations between the government and the OLA ended without agreement in Tanzania on November 21, with both parties blaming each other.
On Saturday, local Oromia authorities accused the OLA of having "perpetrated horrific acts against peaceful citizens, brutally killing many (...) in the Arsi area".
Estimated at a few thousand men in 2018, its numbers have greatly increased in recent years, although observers consider it insufficiently organized and armed to represent a real threat to Æthiopia's federal power, even though the capital is hemmed in by Oromia.
The Oromo people's region stretches from center to south and east to west, covering around a third of Æthiopia's territory, and is home to around a third of the 120 million inhabitants of Africa's 2nd most populous country.
It is plagued by multi-faceted violence, making the situation extremely confusing: internal political struggles, territorial disputes, and animosities between communities combined with the recent development of armed banditry.
[AFRICANEWS] The Sierra Leonean government announced on Tuesday the arrest of one of the main organizers of what it described as an attempted coup on November 26, and of two alleged accomplices.
These arrests bring to 60 the number of people arrested since these events, the vast majority of them military personnel.
"One of the organizers of the failed November 26 coup attempt, Amadu Koita, who was at the top of the wanted list, was arrested yesterday (Monday) at 11:30 pm" (local and GMT), Information Minister Chernor Bah told a presser in Freetown.
A former military officer and bodyguard of Sierra Leone's ex-president Ernest Bai Koroma, Amadu Koita was widely followed on social networks, where he criticized the government of President Julius Maada Bio. He was sheltered by a policewoman and a policeman, who were also arrested, the front man said.
In the early hours of November 26, men attacked a military armory, two other barracks, two prisons, and two cop shoppes, confronting security forces with weapons drawn.
The fighting left 21 people dead, including 14 soldiers, a policeman, a prison guard, a security guard, a woman, and three assailants, according to the Minister of Information.

[IsraelTimes] Indictment filed by Manhattan DA says Yehia Amin harassed group of Jewish men, telling them ’Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... should kill more of you’ before eventually striking one of them
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office indicted a suspect on hate crimes charges for allegedly attacking an Israeli tourist near Times Square on October 18. The indictment, filed Tuesday, came as the NYPD released hate crimes statistics showing a sustained surge in antisemitic incidents since Hamas’s October 7 murderous assault on Israel.
According to the indictment, in the Times Square incident 11 days after the Hamas attack, defendant Yehia Amin, 28, allegedly stalked and punched a 23-year-old Jewish Israeli who was walking with four friends at around 9:30 p.m. The Jewish men were all wearing kippahs when they passed by Amin, who recognized them as Jewish and began to pursue them. Amin taunted the group, telling them, "Hamas should kill more of you," "May Allah kill all the Jews," and "All Jews should die," according to the District Attorney’s Office. While Amin pursued the Israelis, he blasted music from his bluetooth speaker that he later described as "Hamas music.
The Jewish group tried to report Amin to a security guard, then headed to a train station to leave Times Square, but Amin continued following them, saying, "All Jews are crybabies," and "I want to kill you for 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... ," the indictment says. After around 10 minutes of harassment, Amin ran up behind the victim and punched him in the back of the head, causing substantial pain and minor injuries.
Amin expeditiously departed at a goodly pace and the Israeli tourist and his friends followed him. A police officer joined the pursuit, caught Amin, and arrested him. While under arrest, Amin continued to shout antisemitic statements, including, "God kill all the Jewish people," the District Attorney’s Office said.
Amin was charged with stalking in the first degree as a hate crime; assault in the third degree as a hate crime; and stalking in the third degree as a hate crime. He was also indicted for one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree. The case is being handled by the New York State Supreme Court.
"Violence stemming from hate and discrimination will not be tolerated," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ...Soros-owned and operated Manhattan DA. Putting vicious and blood-thirsty criminals in jail only makes them unhappy, and they've led such hard lives after all... said in a statement announcing the charges.
This is the latest of a few indictments from Bragg’s office for anti-Jewish hate crimes. Late last month, two women were charged after allegedly attacking a passerby who confronted them while they were tearing down posters of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The week after the war started, a 19-year-old was charged for attacking an Israeli on the Columbia University campus.
Also Tuesday, the NYPD released hate crimes data for last month, indicating that a previously documented surge in antisemitic crimes in the city since October 7 has continued.
There were 62 antisemitic hate crimes reported to police in November, averaging more than two incidents per day. The figure for antisemitic incidents last month represented a 32% increase over the same period last year, and was similar to the 69 antisemitic attacks reported in October. Anti-Jewish incidents made up 65% of all hate crimes reported to police last month. There were seven anti-Moslem hate crimes.
Since January 1, there have been 294 anti-Jewish hate crimes, according to the NYPD. During the first 11 months of last year, when the total number of hate crimes against all groups were higher, there were 253 antisemitic incidents. Jewish security groups have said many antisemitic attacks likely go unreported. Recent incidents have included graffiti, physical assaults and threats. Jewish groups have also reported a spike in antisemitism nationally since October 7.
Before the outbreak of the war, the previous high-water mark for antisemitic incidents this year was in March, which saw 32 antisemitic incidents reported to police.

Israeli jails are more comfortable than Gazoo combat conditions. Plus they won't die, and when the fighting is over they'll be traded back 10:1 for elderly Israeli women. Don't understand why there isn't more of this.
[IsraelTime] IDF soldiers from the Chabad Hasidic sect of Judaism have transformed a house in the northern 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.

Chabad Houses around the world provide local and traveling Jews with kosher food, a place to pray and other religious services.
A writer for a Chabad website says on X that the soldiers will light Hanukkah candles during the upcoming festival, spreading "the light of Hanukkah to tens of thousands of IDF soldiers."
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says a surface-to-surface missile, believed to have been launched from Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... , was intercepted over the Red Sea using the long-range Arrow air defense system.
The incident set off sirens in the southernmost city of Eilat, though the IDF says the missile did not enter Israeli airspace.
"The target did not cross into Israeli territory, and did not pose a threat to civilians. The alert was activated according to protocol," the IDF says.
An actual weapons cache, as opposed to the weapons pre-positioned in homes and public buildings so that fighters have them ready to hand as they move from position to position.
The IDF says troops of the 460th Armored Brigade and the Nahal Brigade’s 50th Battalion discovered one of the largest caches of weapons during operations in the northern Gaza Strip.

...dozens of explosives, long-range rockets, dozens of grenades, and several drones.
The IDF says some of the weapons were destroyed, while others were taken to Israel for further investigation.
"All of the terror infrastructure was found near civilian buildings in the heart of the civilian population. This is further proof of the cynical use that the Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... terror organization makes of the residents of the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

[IsraelTimes] The IDF says reservists of the Menashe Regional Brigade, Duvdevan unit, LOTAR, and Border Police operated overnight in the West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp, detaining 10 wanted Paleostinians and locating two tunnel shafts and three bomb-making labs.
Several firearms, weapons, and other equipment were seized, it says.
The IDF says troops clashed with Paleostinian button men in the area, returning fire at the armed suspects and those hurling bombs.
One soldier was lightly hurt in the festivities, according to the IDF.
The IDF says another 16 suspects were detained in other areas of the West Bank.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it has measured two homes belonging to a Paleostinian terrorist involved in the killing of Meir Tamari near the West Bank settlement of Hermesh in May, ahead of a potential demolition.
Troops operated in the Jenin refugee camp to map the homes of Ahmed Barakat, one of the Death Eaters behind the deadly shooting.
Israel regularly destroys the homes of Paleostinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks.
The IDF says that as troops detained two wanted Paleostinians in Qalandiya, a violent mostly peaceful riot broke out. It says troops responded with riot dispersal means and "hits were identified." The Paleostinian Authority health ministry has said a 25-year-old Paleostinian man was killed.
The IDF says that during the overnight operations, engineering vehicles ripped up roads that bombs were thought to be planted under.
Two suspects were detained in Jenin, and soldiers returned fire at Paleostinian button men and others hurling explosives at them, the IDF says.
Troops operated elsewhere in the West Bank overnight, with the IDF saying it shut down two "printing houses that printed inciting materials, including for Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... " in a village near Jerusalem, seized an assault rifle in the town of Surif near Hebron, and a makeshift submachine gun in the town of Talfit near Jenin.
In all, 21 wanted Paleostinian were arrested overnight, the IDF says.
[IsraelTimes] Speaking at a press conference, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu highlights the IDF’s achievements in killing “about half of Hamas’s battalion commanders.”
The terror group is understood to have some 24 battalions fighting in Gaza.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF and Shin Bet security agency reveal never-before-seen footage showing senior Hamas commanders inside the terror group’s tunnels in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
An image released by the IDF and Shin Bet shows the senior command of Hamas’s northern Gaza brigade sitting in a narrow room around a table of food, which it says was taken several months ago. Though decorated with tile floors and wall outlets, an arch in the back can be seen indicating that the room is part of Hamas’s vast underground network.
According to the IDF, five of those in the picture were killed in Israeli airstrikes since the war began, including Wael Rajab, the deputy commander of Hamas’s northern Gaza brigade.
Another video released shows Rajab walking through a tunnel in the Strip.
The IDF says the footage was obtained from findings seized in the Gaza Strip by troops and analyzed by the Military Intelligence Directorate.

[IsraelTimes] Ramos Aloni, whose two daughters and three granddaughters were released from Hamas captivity last week, says that for a 10-day period the terrorists took one of the 3-year-old twins away from her mother.
His daughter Daniel Aloni and 5-year-old granddaughter Emilia Aloni were freed last week, and a few days later his other daughter Sharon Aloni Cunio and 3-year-olds Yuli and Emma were also released, but their father David and several members of his family are still held hostage.
“They took [Yuli] out of their hands and they didn’t know what was going on, if she was alive,” Ramos tells Channel 12 news. “Sharon told me that they were moved to a new place, and suddenly she heard the crying of a baby and she said to her husband David, that’s Yuli crying,” and they were finally reunited. “Telling you this gives me goosebumps.”
Ramos says his children told him that during the 50-plus days they were held hostage, “they were only allowed to sit or stand, they weren’t allowed to walk around and they all had to speak in a whisper.”
Ramos says that Sharon and David were kept together until three days before she was freed from Gaza.
He recounts that in recent days they told Emilia that “‘we’re going to meet aunt Sharon,’ and she thinks for a second, and says ‘are we going via the tunnels?'”
In a message to his son-in-law David, Ramos says: “You’re not alone, none of you, and Sharon is waiting for you, and Emma and Yuli are waiting for you.”
[IsraelTimes] Dr. Yael Mozer-Glassberg, one of the pediatricians caring for the freed hostages at Schneider Children’s Medical Center, says that reports that they returned to Israel in decent medical condition are not true.
Mozer-Glassberg confirms that the 26 former hostages her hospital received — 19 of them children — had lost 10-15 percent of their body weight. As a result of the severely limited amount of food the hostages were given in Gaza, some have exhibited odd eating habits when reintroduced to proper nutrition.
While maintaining personal medical privacy and not going into excessive detail, she shares that in general the hostages returned with skin rashes and lice bites on their bodies.
“They returned with extremely low hygiene. I have never seen hygiene this bad,” Mozer-Glassberg says. “Their headlice was the worst I have ever seen. Even with five or six treatments, the lice were not gone.”
In addition, the hostages came home with infected wounds that had not been properly cared for while in captivity.
[IsraelTimes] A Health Ministry representative tells the Knesset Health Committee that the hostages freed from Hamas captivity were given tranquilizer pills before being handed over to the Red Cross for transfer to Israel. The drugging would have aimed to make the hostages appear calm, happy and upbeat after suffering physical abuse, deprivation and psychological terror for more than 50 days in Gaza.
Dr. Hagar Mizrahi, head of the Health Ministry’s medical division, specifically names the drug Clonazepam. Known as Clonex in Israel and sold under the brand names Klonopin and Rivotril elsewhere, the drug is used to prevent and treat anxiety disorders, seizures, bipolar mania, agitation associated with psychosis, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The ministry representative does not disclose whether the drugging has been confirmed by blood tests done on the released hostages at Israeli hospitals, or from the freed hostages’ testimony, or both.
Families of hostages speaking earlier to the committee were the first to raise the issue.
Shas MK Yonatan Mashriki urges the Health Ministry to send health organizations around the world an official report detailing the evidence of the drugging and other medical findings following the released hostages’ return.

israelnationalnews.com: We shouted 'Thailand, Thailand'," to let the terrorists know that they were not Israelis or Jews, but the attackers were indiscriminate in who they killed or abducted that day.
The six Thai hostages were brought to a truck that would take them to Gaza. However, when the truck was too full to carry any more hostages, the Palestinians terrorists shot two of the Thai nationals in the head.
[NYPOST] The Israeli military has encircled the home of Hamas’ top leader in Gaza as Palestinians are warned to flee from the enclave’s southern half, officials said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that the IDF is closing in on the home of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza’s largest city where hundreds of thousands have fled to since the war began.
“His house is not his fortress, and he can escape, but it’s only a matter of time before we get him.” Netanyahu said in a statement. “Our forces can reach anywhere in the Gaza Strip.”
IDF spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari noted that there is “terror infrastructure and headquarters” in Sinwar’s home, with the Hamas leader likely hiding underground via the group’s 300-mile-long tunnel system.
“Our role is to reach Sinwar and kill him,” Hagari said of the IDF’s advancement in Khan Younis.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Israel continued to dismiss US calls to temper its ground invasion as Israeli troops began their bloody new phase of the war and pushed into Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

's second-largest city where Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... terrorist leaders are believed to be hiding.
Israeli forces were encircling the southern city of Khan Yunis today, fighting gunnies in intense street battles in some of the fiercest combat of the two-month war.
The focus of the conflict has shifted to the besieged territory's south following fierce fighting and bombardment that reduced much of the north to rubble and forced nearly two million people to flee their homes.
And despite Washington's desperate calls for Israel to prevent yet more bloodshed in Gaza and provide more aid, Israeli forces, backed by warplanes, reached the heart of Khan Younis yesterday and surrounded the city - trapping the thousands of exhausted civilians who had fled there.
The IDF aims to wipe out the Hamas leaders it believes are hiding in Khan Younis while using innocent civilians as human shields. But the cost of the war continues to mount, with more than 16,248 Paleostinians killed since the conflict broke out two months ago, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza.
Today, Israeli tanks, troops and bulldozers encircled the southern city after what the IDF said was the 'most intense day of fighting' since the war began.
Israeli air strikes obliterated buildings within Khan Younis today, with the IDF claiming it had killed several Hamas commanders in a strike near the Indonesia Hospital.
