#Sudan’s army says that they have killed the central commander of Darfur of the Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Ali Yagoub Gibril, a figure who was under US sanctions, during a battle in Sudan’s al-Fashir.https://t.co/i4kl4Vrxtv
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 army said on Friday it had killed Ali Yagoub Gibril, a senior commander for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) who was under US sanctions, during a battle in the besieged north Darfur city of al-Fashir.
There was no immediate comment from the RSF.
Gibril was a leading commander for the RSF in al-Fashir, the last major city in the Darfur region of Sudan that the paramilitary force does not control.
The army said in a statement Yacoub was killed as an RSF attack was thwarted early on Friday by its troops and allied "joint forces" fighting alongside it - a reference to non-Arab former rebel groups from Darfur that are aligned with the army.
The RSF has been besieging al-Fashir, a city of 1.8 million people, for weeks and top UN officials have warned that the worsening conflict there could trigger widespread intercommunal violence.
The UN Security Council called on Thursday for a halt to the siege.
War between the army and the RSF erupted over conditions for a transition to democracy in mid-April last year in the capital Khartoum, soon spreading to other parts of the country.
The conflict has led to the world’s largest displacement crisis, renewed ethnic violence in Darfur blamed on the RSF and its allies, and a sharp increase in extreme hunger.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.
The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... have also faced dire conditions.
The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.
Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and imported muscle. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
Kamal Abubakr al-Siwi, Head of the General Authority for Research and Identification of Missing Persons in Libya, announced that 5,000 bodies and remains have been discovered and verified in Derna to date.
In his press statements, al-Siwi mentioned that approximately 4,000 reports of missing persons have been recorded.

These projects include hospital management, waste recycling, dam construction, sewage systems, advanced digital technology, flood protection, and coastal fortification. These areas are critical for Libya’s ongoing rebuilding and development.
During their visit, the delegation toured multiple reconstruction sites across Derna. Ambassador Mihraje and the business representatives admired the city’s rapid progress and development. They highlighted the impressive achievements made in a relatively short period.

"The naval, missile, and UAV forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a specific military operation targeting the ship "Tutor" in the Red Sea, using an unmanned surface boat, number of drones, and ballistic missiles," Yemen’s military front man Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e, said in a televised statement on Wednesday night.
"The operation led to the ship being seriously damaged and vulnerable to sinking, thanks to Allah. The ship was targeted because the company that owns the ship has violated the decision to ban entry into the ports of occupied Paleostine," Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e explained.
Furthermore, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out two joint military operations alongside the Iraqi Islamic Resistance®, he added.
"The first operation used winged missiles that struck critical target in Ashdod, while the second used drones against a key target in Haifa. Both operations have successfully achieved their objectives," the military front man further explained
According to Sare’e, the Yemeni Armed Forces warn all companies of the consequences of dealing with the Israeli enemy and of the arrival of their ships to the ports of occupied Paleostine, lest they will be targeted in the area of operations of the Armed Forces, as previously announced.

The crew of a Greek-owned vessel damaged in an attack by Yemeni Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates.

One sailor from Tutor, the Liberia-flagged coal carrier, remains missing, officials in the Philippines said.
The attack near the Yemeni port of Hodeidah on Wednesday caused severe flooding and damage to the engine room and left Tutor unable to maneuver.
Iran-aligned Houthis grabbed credit for the missile attack on Tutor and another vessel, Verbena, in the Gulf of Aden, over the past days.
Tutor’s 22 crew members are mostly Filipino, Hans Cacdac, the Philippines’ Department of Migrant Workers secretary, told a presser in Manila. Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr said the country’s authorities were coordinating with the UKMTO to take the crew members to Djibouti and bring them home.
The missing crew member was believed to be trapped in the engine room, maritime sources said.
"We are still ... trying to account for the particular seafarer in that ship. We are praying we could find him," Cacdac said.
The ship’s Athens-based manager Evalend Shipping has not responded to Rooters’ requests for comment.
Tsavliris Salvage Group has been assigned to tow the ship, which is carrying 80,000 tons of coal, a source with knowledge of the matter told Rooters. The project will involve two vessels. The first is expected to reach Tutor on Monday morning and the second on Tuesday evening.
The Houthis’ air and sea assaults have disrupted global shipping, causing delays and costs to cascade through supply chains. At least 65 countries and major energy and shipping companies — including Shell SHEL.L, BP BP.L, Maersk MAERSKb.CO and Cosco — have been affected, according to a report by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency.

The M/V Verbena was still ablaze and the mariner was flown by a US helicopter based on the USS Philippine Sea to another nearby ship for medical treatment, the US military’s Central Command said.
In a statement, Central Command said the Verbena is a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned and Polish-operated bulk cargo carrier that had docked in Malaysia and was on its way to Italia carrying wood. "The M/V Verbena reported damage and subsequent fires on board. The crew continues to fight the fire," the statement said.
Earlier Thursday, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said a vessel had been attacked and had caught fire. And the private security firm Ambrey said a merchant vessel made a radio distress call saying it had been struck by a missile.
The Houthis later claimed the attack on the Verbena, as well as attacks on two other ships in the Red Sea. Central Command said the Houthis had launched two ballistic missiles in the Red Sea that caused "no injuries or significant damage."
The UKMTO said one vessel earlier missed by the Houthis was hit by a "third projectile" that caused "minor damage." The vessel was able to remain underway, it said.
The attack on the Verbena followed the Houthis launching a boat-borne kaboom against a commercial ship in the Red Sea on Wednesday.
Central Command also said it destroyed a Houthi drone boat and two patrol boats in the Red Sea, as well as one airborne drone.

On Wednesday, the fighter jets waged three strikes on Hodeida, including a raid on the al-Jabbana area, west of the city, and two others on al-Tuhayta district.

So we've allowed a vital shipping land to be closed, hurting world trade and prosperity.
During the Vietnam War, the phrase "pitiful helpless giant" was used to describe the US. I think it is apt again.

#Kyrgyzstan says it had arrested 15 suspected supporters of #ISIS – a growing concern in Central Asian countries following a March attack in Moscow claimed by the terrorist group.https://t.co/LLu7vNVOrl
Kyrgyzstan on Friday said it had arrested 15 suspected supporters of ISIS — a growing concern in Central Asian countries following a March attack in Moscow claimed by the terrorist group.
"The state committee for national security has ended the activities of a clandestine radical group, whose members were actively promoting [ISIS] ideology," the Kyrgyz security service said in a statement.
"In total, 15 people were arrested in the capital Bishkek and around the country," the security service said, adding that "one of the leaders of the group was under the orders of a member of [ISIS] in Afghanistan," known as Khorasan.
The ISIS offshoot has been classified by the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... as "the biggest terrorist threat in Afghanistan and Central Asia" and is one of the main security challenges for countries in Central Asia that border Afghanistan.
This concern has increased following a mass shooting attack claimed by Khorasan on March 22 in Moscow in which at least 144 people were killed — the biggest corpse count in an attack in Russia since 2004.
That’s the one that took place in Crocus City Hall.
After initially accusing Ukraine, Russian authorities in the end put the blame on the ISIS and arrested the Tajik suspects.
Kyrgyzstan is a secular country with a Moslem majority where there are frequent waves of arrests of murderous Moslems — particularly in the more religious south of the country.
In Afghanistan, the security situation has improved since the return of the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... to power in 2021. But some gangs, including Khorasan, continue to claim attacks.

If not the PMF, then definitely some other Iran sock puppets…
Iraq denies Hashd al-Shaabi behind attacks on KFC in Baghdad
11-06-2024
[Rudaw] Iraq’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday that the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or Hashd al-Shaabi) were not behind the recent attacks on several KFC franchises in Baghdad, days after Washington accused the group of engaging in violent mostly peaceful activities.
"The attacks that took place on some restaurants were carried out by outlaw groups and do not in any way represent Hash al-Shaabi," the Iraqi foreign ministry said in a statement without mentioning the names of the restaurants.
US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told Rudaw in a press briefing on Thursday that "We do remain concerned that individuals within the PMF are not responsive to the Iraqi commander in chief and engage in violent mostly peaceful and destabilizing activities in Iraq and Syria."
The Iraqi ministry described Miller’s remarks as "inaccurate information."
American and British companies in Baghdad, including KFC and Caterpillar, have been the target of a series of attacks in recent days, and have been subject to boycott calls over their alleged links to Israel.
Security forces have arrested several people, including their own members in relation to the attacks.
The US embassy recently warned that attacks on foreign businesses in Baghdad "could weaken Iraq’s ability to attract foreign investment," and condemned the attacks.
Iraq is a staunch supporter of the Paleostinian cause and has on several occasions condemned the lack of global support for justice for Paleostinians.
Iraq arrests new batch of foreign business attackers in Baghdad
05-06-2024
[Rudaw] Iraq’s interior ministry on Wednesday announced the arrest of a new batch of assailants who targeted American and foreign businesses in Baghdad, adding that security services are pursuing the remaining suspects.
“The security services in the Ministry of Interior through qualitative operations arrested a new group of defendants in incidents of attacks and vandalism that affected KFC restaurants and foreign businesses in various areas,” the ministry said in a statement.
Iraq arrests assailants of American businesses in Baghdad
04-06-2024
[Rudaw] Iraq’s interior ministry on Tuesday announced the arrest of a number of assailants who targeted American and foreign businesses in Baghdad, adding that several attackers belong to the security forces.
American and British companies in Baghdad, including KFC and Caterpillar, have been the target of a series of attacks in recent days, and have been subject to boycott calls over their alleged links to Israel.
“After collecting accurate information, the names and places of work and residence of the perpetrators were determined and an arrest warrant was issued by the investigative judge,” said an Iraqi interior ministry statement.
The suspects were arrested under Article Four of the Anti-Terrorism law, the statement said.
According to Article Four of the 2005 Counter-Terrorism Law, anyone found guilty of committing a terror offense is given a death sentence, with life imprisonment given to those who assist or hide those convicted of terrorism.
The attacks resulted in material damage but no injuries.
[Rudaw] An unidentified aircraft bombed several locations near Ranya town on Friday, sparking a wildfire. Media affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) blamed The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... The unidentified aircraft hit several locations in Ranya’s Sarkapkan subdistrict, north of Dukan Lake.
Hemin Abdullah, the mayor of Sarkapkan, told Rudaw that there were no casualties.
"A fighter jet came and hovered over the area for nearly 15 minutes and hit the area twice," a resident of Sarkapkan told Rudaw.
Rojnews, a media outlet affiliated with the PKK, reported that the Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... was carried out by Turkey and that the attack sparked fire nearby several villages.
The Ottoman Turkish government did not immediately comment on the airstrike but its defense ministry said their air forces hit PKK fighters on Mount Metina in Duhok province.
Ottoman Turkish aerial forces on June 7 bombed Mount Metina, causing a fire.

Simply, the only reason the hostages that were found were alive, is because the larger mass of Hamas didn't know that they were alive, and where they were.

[Rudaw] At least 19 Syrian regime soldiers were killed on Wednesday in separate deadly Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) attacks in the desert, a war monitor said, amid a large-scale combing operation by Damascus against the jihadists.
"16 members of regime forces, including a high-ranking officer, were killed after entering a minefield and being attacked by ISIS members while regime forces were on a combing mission in Sukhna desert in Homs," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor.
Damascus, with Russian air support, has been carrying out an expansive sweeping operation in areas where ISIS remains active, with a recent rise in deadly jihadist attacks killing many Syrian government soldiers, as well as pro-regime National Defense Forces (NDF) fighters.
In a separate attack later on Wednesday, ISIS button men killed "three members of the regime forces, including an officer," in the Homs desert and injured two others, the Observatory said.
The jihadists have killed at least 46 people, including 32 Syrian army soldiers and six civilians, in areas controlled by the Syrian government in eight days, according to the Observatory
[Rudaw] Two members of a pro-Syrian government militia were killed on Tuesday after being struck by an IED planted by Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

"Two members of the National Defense Forces [NDF] militia were killed and three others were maimed as a result of an IED explosion planted by ISIS members," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor.
The fighters were struck by the IED as their vehicle passed over the explosive in the eastern countryside of Syria’s Hama province, the monitor added.
The attack comes amid a large-scale sweeping operation by Damascus in areas where the bully boy group remains active. Attacks by ISIS in Syria have been on the rise recently, especially in the vast expanses of its eastern and northern deserts amid a security vacuum.
On Monday, three Syrian army soldiers were killed in an ambush by ISIS button men in the central province of Homs.
Two days prior, five members of a pro-Syrian regime militia were killed in another ISIS attack in Homs.
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Thursday announced the capture of two suspected members of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) accused of planning acts of terror in northeast Syria (Rojava).
"On June 12th, our SDF Commando forces conducted a successful security operation in al-Shuhail town, Deir Ezzor’s eastern countryside. The operation targeted a dangerous terrorist cell of ISIS consisting of two forces of Evil who were involved in numerous terrorist acts in the area," read a statement from the SDF.
The two individuals were involved in attacks against the Kurdish-led force and civilians in Rojava, according to the SDF.
"Their involvement included planning and participating in bombings, planting IEDs, and carrying out liquidations, particularly within the Deir Ezzor countryside," the statement added.
ISIS rose to power and seized swathes of Iraqi and Syrian land amid a brazen offensive in 2014, declaring a so-called "caliphate".
In late March, the SDF warned that ISIS still poses a threat to the world and the region as its defeat "requires dismantling its ideological breeding ground."
"ISIS is still trying to recruit new terrorist elements, attempting to radicalize them into its ranks," said the SDF, calling on the international community to "collaborate effectively" with its forces.
Last year, the SDF arrested more than 350 ISIS members in areas they control.
