Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... -mandated AMISOM peacekeeping force that is helping defend the government of President Mohammad Abdullahi Mohammad.
"One of our mujahideen [was] martyred after he rammed his car into a Somali military convoy," Abu Musab said.

[IsraelTimes] Jihadist group shows off Hebrew labels on munitions purportedly found in aftermath of raid in restive Egyptian peninsula
The Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... ’s official media outlet claimed Wednesday that Israeli war planes recently struck civilian homes in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
A video released by the Amaq news agency showed Hebrew labels on the munitions found in the rubble of the Arclight airstrike in northern Sinai.
"These are the remains from the bombings by the Jews, the grandchildren of monkeys and pigs, who are aided by dictator Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, against the mujaheddin in the Sinai," one fighter said in the video.
Israel has assisted Egypt throughout its fight with the Islamic State terrorist group in the Sinai, and its precursors. According to foreign reports, this has included conducting dronezaps in the peninsula on Islamic State targets. It has also reportedly taken the form of significant intelligence sharing.
More publicly, since 2013, Israel has also allowed additional Egyptian forces into the peninsula, beyond the level permitted under the 1979 peace accord between the two countries. Heavy weapons, like tanks, artillery and attack helicopters, have been brought into Sinai to fight the Islamists, a sign that Jerusalem is not concerned those big Egyptian guns could be turned against it.
Earlier this year, The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported that Israel was covertly carrying out a full-blown aerial campaign against IS targets in Sinai, with Sissi’s blessing. The Israeli aircraft are reportedly often unmarked and sometimes use indirect routes in a bid to cover up the origin of the strikes.
Early this year, the Egyptian military launched a massive security operation in northern Sinai as part of its efforts to oust the jihadist group from the peninsula’s restive north.
On Tuesday, Human Rights Watch warned that Egypt’s anti-IS campaign included the widespread destruction of civilian homes, commercial buildings and farms in Northern Sinai province.
"Turning people’s homes into rubble is part of the same self-defeating security plan that has restricted food and movement to inflict pain on Sinai residents," said Sarah Leah Whitson, the watchdog’s Mideast director.
HRW said also the destruction has extended well beyond two government-designated security buffer zones in the Sinai cities of al-Arish and Rafah.
Egypt has built the buffer zone along Gazoo’s border in an effort to prevent jihadists from using a vast underground tunnel network that was created to evade a decade-old Israeli and Egyptian blockade of the territory. It also bulldozed homes and olive groves around the el-Arish airport where IS fighters attempted to hit the country’s defense and interior ministers in December.

[DAWN] Rohingya faceless myrmidons massacred Hindu villagers during last year’s uprising in Myanmar’s Rakhine, Amnesty International said on Tuesday in a report that sheds fresh light on the complex ethnic rivalries in the state.
The killings took place on Aug 25, 2017, the report said, the same day that the Rohingya bandidos Death Eaters staged coordinated deadly raids on police posts that tipped the state into crisis.
Myanmar’s military responded to the Death Eater raids with harsh reprisals.
The UN says the army crackdown amounted to "ethnic cleansing" of the Rohingya, with soldiers and vigilante mobs accused of killing civilians and burning down villages.
But the Rohingya faceless myrmidons have also been accused of abuses.
Those include the mass killing of Hindus in the far north of Rakhine, where the military took news hounds ‐ including AFP ‐ to witness the exhumation of putrid bodies from a grave in September.
The holy warriors, known as the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), denied responsibility at the time.
But Amnesty International said on Tuesday that a new investigation had confirmed the group killed 53 Hindus "execution-style" ‐ mostly children ‐ in the Kha Maung Seik village cluster in northern Maungdaw.

They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Lions of Islam have kidnapped and executed a tribal chief in Iraq’s Kirkuk as the province continues to record security breaches by the group against civilians and security members.
Alsumaria News quoted a security source saying that an armed IS group invaded late Tuesday a home in the village of Kanaan, al-Riyadh, southwest of Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... and kidnapped the village’s chief, Mahguob Khalaf, before executing him by gunfire.
Several tribal chiefs have been assassinated by IS over the past few months after the group lost control over all of the territories they had occupied since 2014.
During its occupation of Iraqi territories, IS had used to execute civilians for fleeing its strongholds or for cooperating with Iraqi security forces.
Iraq declared the recapture of IS strongholds in Kirkuk in October, and a final victory over the group in all of Iraq in December. But since then, the group has staged several attacks against civilians and security forces.

"At least 26 regime soldiers and allied forces were killed in an IS attack at dawn today, against one of their posts in the Syrian Badiya," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Among them were Iranian militiamen, said the Britannia-based monitor.
The Badiya is a vast desert region stretching from central Syria to the eastern border with Iraq, where IS still holds small pockets.
Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said the attack hit a small base east of Palmyra, the famed ancient city that IS has overrun twice in Syria’s war.
"It began with a boom-mobile targeting regime forces that set off festivities that are still ongoing," he said. Five IS fighters were also killed.
"IS fighters launched their attack from a pocket they control in the Badiya, and which was the destination for IS fighters evacuated from southern Damascus on Sunday and Monday," Abdel Rahman added.

[DAWN] The US Treasury blacklisted five Iranians who allegedly supplied ballistic missile technology to Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Tuesday, a day after Washington warned Tehran it faced the “strongest sanctions in history.”
The Treasury said the five placed on its sanctions list were linked to an operation by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to support Houthi attacks on cities in Saudi Arabia, which leads the Gulf coalition fighting the Yemeni rebels.
According to Riyadh, the Houthis have launched more than 130 ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia since 2015, many of them intercepted by anti-missile defence systems.
In November last year they launched a missile which reached Riyadh, and the attacks have increased this year.
Iran has denied supplying missiles to the Houthis, while the group has insisted that they developed the missiles themselves.
Actions by the Revolutionary Guards “have enabled the Houthis to launch missiles at Saudi cities and oil infrastructure,” said Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin in a statement.
