[SUDANTRIBUNE] On Friday, a road accident involving a four-wheel drive vehicle carrying al-Misbah Abu Zaid, commander of the Islamist al-Baraa Bin Malik battalion, occurred on the Khashm El-Girba — Kassala road in eastern 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 accident resulted in two fatalities and several injuries.
According to the police press office, a tyre explosion caused the vehicle to overturn in the al-Shawak area. Among the injured was al-Misbah Abu Zaid, who was taken to Kassala Hospital for treatment along with eight others. He later appeared at the funeral of one of the dear departed.
The al-Baraa Bin Malik battalion is an Islamist fighting force allied with the Sudanese army.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] Farmers in 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... ’s vast al-Jazirah Scheme reported a near-total failure of the cotton and wheat harvests due to the ongoing conflict and control of the area by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The exception lies in the Managil and 24 Qarshi areas, still under army control in western al-Jazirah. Here, harvests proceeded as usual.
Alaa El Din al-Bilawi, a farmer in South al-Jazirah, explained that the cotton harvest failed because ginning factories, crucial for processing cotton, are closed. This leaves the crop vulnerable to damage in the fields.
Cotton and wheat are critical crops for both export and domestic consumption in Sudan. The failure of these harvests is a significant blow to the nation’s economy and food security.
The situation is particularly dire in the south, where 55,000 acres were planted with cotton before the RSF took control of al-Jazirah last December. Since then, the RSF has expanded its influence heavily, reaching the borders of neighbouring Sennar State.

Local sources reported at least two drones targeted the Kosti port, located approximately 270 kilometres south of Khartoum. Eyewitnesses described hearing explosions and seeing thick smoke rise from the site. One police officer was injured in the incident.
Neither local authorities in White Nile State nor the warring parties have provided any official statements regarding the drone attack. However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... this incident marks a continuation of a trend observed over the past month and a half, where cities under army control have been targeted by unidentified drones. Notably, similar attacks have occurred in Atbara, Gedaref, Shendi, Merowe, and Dongola.
Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the congregants were being herded into the paddy wagon... in El Fasher, artillery shelling resumed on Friday, with the RSF heavily bombarding southern neighbourhoods. Intermittent festivities also erupted between the army, allied armed struggle movements, and the RSF east of the city.
The ongoing fighting in El Fasher has tragically resulted in the deaths of over 50 civilians in the past week. Grave concerns are rising for the hundreds of thousands of displaced people who sought refuge in the city, fleeing violence elsewhere in the Darfur region.

[KavkazUzel] Security forces in Karachay-Cherkessia
…in the North Caucasus…
killed an alleged member of a terrorist organization who offered armed resistance during arrest, the FSB reported.
A man who offered armed resistance during arrest was killed in Karachay-Cherkessia, a representative of the FSB public relations center said.
“The preparation of a terrorist act on the territory of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic was stopped. As a result of the activities carried out in the village of Adil-Khalk, Nogai district of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, a member of an international terrorist organization banned in Russia, a citizen of the Russian Federation, born in 1998, was identified at a safe residence address, planning to commit an armed attack on employees republican law enforcement agencies,” TASS quotes him as saying.
There are no casualties among the security forces, the FSB representative noted. At the site of the clash, a Kalashnikov assault rifle, a large number of cartridges, an improvised explosive device, components for making explosives, as well as “communications containing correspondence with coordinators of terrorist activities located abroad discussing planned crimes” were found, the publication says.
[IsraelTimes] Board member Sarah Hubbard says some 30 people demonstrated at her home, pitched tents; another board member says masked activist left list of demands at his home
Pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel protesters wearing masks pitched tents and placed fake bloody corpses outside the home of a University of Michigan board member Wednesday, raising tension with the school.
Sarah Hubbard, chair of the university’s governing board, said the 6 a.m. demonstration at her home in Okemos involved 30 people.
"They approached my home and taped a letter to my front door and proceeded to erect the tents. A variety of other things were left in the front yard," Hubbard told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. "They started chanting with their bullhorn and pounding on a drum in my otherwise quiet neighborhood."
Video on social media appeared to show the crowd chanting that Hubbard is "funding genocide."
She and her husband stayed inside. Okemos is 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the Ann Arbor campus.
The protesters left 30 to 45 minutes later when Meridian Township police arrived, Hubbard said. No arrests were made. Three tents and fake corpses wrapped in red-stained sheets were left behind.
Jordan Acker, another member of the Board of Regents, said someone with a face covering left a list of demands at his home at 4:40 a.m.
Protesters at the Ann Arbor campus have an encampment on the Diag, a prominent public space.
The group is demanding that the university’s endowment stop investing in companies with ties to Israel. But the university insists it has no direct investments and only less than $15 million placed with funds that might include companies in Israel. That’s less than 0.1% of the total endowment.
"There’s nothing to talk about. That issue is settled," Hubbard said.
In social media posts, a coalition calling for divestment acknowledged the protest and said it would "remain relentless in the struggle for a free Paleostine."
"Please stop complaining on Twitter and come to the encampment to actually negotiate," the group said, referring to Hubbard.
The university said the protest at her home was not free speech. "The tactics used today represent a significant and dangerous escalation," spokesperson Kim Broekhuizen said.
School officials have not disclosed any plans to break up the encampment on campus, which was created in April.
"We would prefer that they would leave on their own," Hubbard said.
[GEO.TV] Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that more troops would "enter Rafah" as military operations intensify in Gazoo

The operation "will continue as additional forces will enter" the Rafah area, Gallant said, claiming that "several tunnels in the area have been destroyed by our troops... this activity will intensify".
"Hundreds of targets have already been struck, and our forces are manoeuvring in the area," he said according to a statement released by his office after he visited Rafah the previous day.
Israeli forces took control earlier in May of the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing with Egypt, in a push launched in defiance of US warnings that around 1.4 million civilians sheltering there could be caught in the crossfire.
The United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... agency for Paleostinian refugees, UNRWA, has said "600,000 people have fled Rafah since military operations intensified" in Rafah.

[GEO.TV] The Kuwaiti Speciality Hospital is one of the few places in Rafah the maimed or dying can turn for care, but that role may come under unbearable pressure if Israel launches a full-scale advance into the southern Gazoo

Israeli forces are bearing down on Rafah as part of their drive to eradicate Paleostinian group Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... , despite warnings this could result in mass casualties in an area where displaced civilians have found shelter.
Staff at the Speciality Hospital say they fear such an assault would produce a crush of new patients that would overwhelm exhausted doctors, who already complain of shortages of medicine and proper equipment.
"We have been here from the start of the war until now, and I do hope they will not target us, they will not threaten us," said doctor Jamal al-Hams.
"I do hope the whole medical team will continue to present its services to the injured people, to the critically ill patients, to the people who have chronic diseases," he added.

[IsraelTimes] IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in a press statement says the military has recovered the bodies of three hostages from the Gazoo

He names them as Itzhak Gelerenter, Amit Buskila, and Shani Louk.
Hagari says the bodies were recovered in an overnight operation carried out by the military and Shin Bet.
The three were at the Supernova music festival near Re’im on the morning of October 7, where they then fled to the Mefalsim area.
Hagari says they were killed there by Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... terrorists, and their bodies were then kidnapped to Gaza.
[An Nahar] Hezbollah targeted Friday a logistic military base in the occupied Golan heights with 50 Katyusha rockets, in response to al-Najjariyeh strikes.
The group said in a statement it has attacked the Tznobar base in response to the killing of two civilians in a strike on al-Najjarieh, near the coastal city of Sidon.
Hezbollah later targeted al-Raheb post in northern Israel in support of Gazoo

The Israeli air strikes on al-Najjariyeh killed one Hezbollah fighter and two Syrian children.
Hezbollah earlier on Friday launched "attack drones" on a command center in Ga'aton, in response to an Israeli strike on a car in Qana on Thursday that killed two Hezbollah members.
Earlier this week Hezbollah said it had targeted an Israeli base near Tiberias, about 30 kilometres from the Lebanese border -- one of the group's deepest attacks into Israeli territory since festivities began on October 8.
The cross-border fighting has killed at least 418 people 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... , mostly gunnies but also including 82 civilians, according to an AFP tally.
Israel says 14 soldiers and 10 civilians have been killed on its side of the border.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said "Israeli strikes targeted Najjariyeh and Addousiyeh", two adjacent villages about 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the Israeli border just south of the coastal city of Sidon.
The NNA reported "victims" without elaborating.
A source close to Hezbollah told AFP that three people were killed in Najjariyeh -- two Syrians and a Lebanese man.
Hezbollah said the attack was carried out with an "attack drone carrying two S5 rockets", which are normally launched from jets.
