[SUDANTRIBUNE] Heightening tensions in Darfur, a prominent Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander called on 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 and allied former rebel groups in the capital of North Darfur State El-Fsher to surrender before facing an offensive on the city.
The United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... , the United States, the Kindom of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... and the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... have expressed grave concerns about the potential attack on El Fasher, a city sheltering tens of thousands of civilians displaced by the ongoing conflict in Darfur.
For weeks, the RSF has been mobilizing thousands of fighters, including some from Arab tribal militias, around the capital of North Darfur, raising fears of an imminent assault. In response, the army and allied rebel groups have bolstered their defences in heavily populated neighbourhoods crowded with war victims.
RSF Commander Ali Rizkallah, known as "Al-Savna" told Sudan Tribune from outside El Fasher that attacking the capital of North Darfur and other remaining army strongholds in the state is a "legitimate military objective".
He urged the army and former rebels to surrender and seek peaceful solutions to avoid an attack.
Al-Savna harshly criticized international calls for restraint by the RSF. He accused the UN and the international community of turning a blind eye to the army’s aerial bombardments of El Fasher and other cities, claiming they cause civilian casualties and destroy essential infrastructure. He further alleged that the army’s actions disrupt livestock farming and worsen the humanitarian crisis.
HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS
El Fasher remains the lone major city in Darfur that is not under RSF control. In recent months, the RSF has captured South, Central, East, and West Darfur.
Al-Savna denied blocking commercial goods and humanitarian aid from reaching El Fasher. He clarified that the RSF only intercepts vehicles carrying military supplies to the army garrison within the city.
He alleged that gangs looted humanitarian supplies and delivered them to their own people in the border cities of Tina, Ambro, and Karnoi, near Chad.
The RSF commander, who recently moved from Khartoum, asserted that the RSF facilitates the passage of commercial convoys from Libya and secures their travel from Malha to the Mellit customs station. He added that the RSF recently restarted the Mellit customs station and handed control to a local committee.
POTENTIAL PRISONER RELEASE
Al-Savna hinted at the possible release of captured fighters of Darfur groups detained after the RSF takeover of Mellit.
He emphasized that these individuals, some of whom are minors, are "people of Darfur" and will be reunited with their families.
The RSF’s capture of Mellit, a strategic town north of El Fasher, cut an essential humanitarian aid route to western Sudan. The ongoing tensions and potential attack on El Fasher raise serious concerns about the safety of civilians and further disruption of humanitarian aid deliveries.
[ShabelleMedia] On Saturday night, a devastating incident unfolded in Elasha Biyaha, located approximately 15km south of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
A suspected al-Shabab militant tragically lost his life along with his two children when an improvised explosive device (IED) he was assembling exploded in his lap house. The man’s wife also sustained injuries in the blast and is currently receiving medical attention.
This tragic event was confirmed by the Somali Police, who reported that the explosion resulted from the man’s attempts to construct landmines in his residence.
The police spokesman, Abdifatah, highlighted that the incident is not the first of its kind, as similar events have occurred in houses where explosives were being prepared, both in Mogadishu and in various regions.
The explosion not only resulted in the loss of life but also uncovered additional explosive materials upon further investigation by the police.
This alarming development sheds light on the continued efforts of the militant group, al-Shabab, to carry out attacks in Somalia despite facing significant opposition from government forces and international efforts to dismantle their operations.
The incident comes in the wake of increased military operations against al-Shabab. Just a day prior, a car bombing at a Somali military facility resulted in the deaths of six people, including four soldiers.
The attack, claimed by the Islamist extremist group, was part of a series of aggressive actions aimed at destabilizing the region.
In response to such incidents, the Somali government has deployed hundreds of newly trained personnel in and around Mogadishu to bolster security and prevent retaliatory attacks.
The United States has also announced a $5 million bounty for information leading to the location of al-Shabab deputy leader Abukar Ali Adan, signaling a concerted effort to dismantle the group’s leadership and disrupt their activities.
[IsraelTimes] The US military says it has "successfully engaged" five unmanned drones over the Red Sea that "presented an imminent threat to US, coalition, and merchant vessels in the region."
US Central Command does not say in the statement if the drones were destroyed after they were identified.
"These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for US, coalition, and merchant vessels," the CENTCOM statement adds.
The Iran-backed Houthis, who control much of war-torn Yemen, have been attacking shipping in the Red Sea since November in a campaign they say is in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
The US has spearheaded a naval coalition to protect vessels in the vital waterway, and has also conducted air strikes in Houthi territory, both on its own and alongside Britain.
[IsraelTimes] A clip shared on social media appears to show two men attempting to force an ultra-Orthodox man into the trunk of their car in North London.
The local Jewish neighborhood watch group, Shomrim, shares the footage from the Friday incident on social media, noting that London’s Metropolitan Police is looking for leads.
The video shows the car pull over on a street North London’s Stamford Hill — an area with a large Haredi community — next to the man, as two men jump out.
One of the men lunges threateningly at the victim, apparently demanding that he get in the car, while the other opens the trunk.
When the would-be kidnap victim quickly threatens to use his cellphone to call the police, and as other vehicles approached, the men get in their car and drive away.
Local police writes on X, formerly Twitter, that an investigation into the alleged antisemitic incident has been opened.
[Rudaw] A French court has charged the ex-wife of a top Islamic State (ISIS) leader with genocide and crimes against humanity for allegedly exploiting a teenage Yazidi girl in Syria, French media reported on Saturday.
Sonia M., 34, is an ex-wife of top ISIS official Abdelnasser Benyoucef.
…a member of Algerian Islamist militant group GIA in the 1990s, believed to have died in suicide attacks in Syria, and in between coached a number of known ISIS jihadis in Europe, including Amédy Coulibaly, the gunman in the January 2015 kosher supermarket attack, as ISIS’ head of external operations…
She was charged on March 14 by a Paris judge for "genocide" and "crimes against humanity," Le Parisien said. "This French woman, now targeted with the most serious qualifications of the Penal Code, is accused of her alleged involvement in the martyrdom of the Yazidi community, the non-Muslim Kurdophone religious minority methodically persecuted by Daesh [ISIS]."
The court suspects her of having enslaved a Yazidi girl in her Raqqa apartment,
The Yazidi woman was 16 when she was enslaved by Benyoucef. She accused Sonia M. of rape and said she had knowledge that her husband was also raping her, according to the report.
On her time in Syria, the Yazidi woman also said she was not allowed to eat, drink, or shower without informing Sonia M.
ISIS swept through vast swathes of Syria and Iraq in 2014 and declared a so-called "caliphate" in a brazen offensive that saw the group take control of around a third of Syria’s territory as well as several Iraqi cities, including the second largest northern city of Mosul. It was declared territorially defeated in 2017 and 2019 in both countries respectively.
During the jihadists’ brutal reign, they committed heinous atrocities, such as genocide, sexual slavery, and massacres against non-Muslims, especially the Yazidi ethnoreligious group. Christians and Shiite Muslims were also a target.
More than 6,000 Yazidis were abducted when ISIS overran the community’s heartland of Shingal (Sinjar) in 2014. Around 2,700 remain missing, with little done to bring solace to the rescued.
Earlier in April, Germany detained an Iraqi couple suspected of being members of ISIS and accused of enslaving and sexually abusing two young Yazidi girls.

[Regnum] Swedish anti-Islamic activist Jade Sandberg burned the Koran in Stockholm. This is not her first such action, reports the Turkish TV channel A haber.
The media notes that the burning of the Muslim holy book took place “under the protection of the Swedish police.” The TV channel called this action vile.
It is clarified that Sandberg burned the Koran on April 26. The activist posted a video of what was happening on her social networks. In addition, she warned that she intends to organize a similar action in Malmö on May 3.
Her social media profile states that Jade Sandberg is a "cleric, exorcist, demonologist" and "activist and crusader" who opposes Islam and saves Sweden and the Nordic countries from the religion.
As reported by IA Regnum, earlier 47-year-old native of Iran Marjan Bayrami burned the Koran in a barbecue on the shore of the Swedish Lake Mälaren with the permission of the police and in her presence. The Iranian woman believes that “it is necessary to destroy all religions.”
At the end of June 2023, the Swedish police allowed an action in Stockholm with the burning of the Koran at the main mosque on the first day of Eid al-Adha.
In August 2023, during a demonstration in front of the Turkish Embassy in The Hague, a group of Dutch far-right tore and trampled the Koran.
The head of the synodal department for relations between the church and society and the media of the Russian Orthodox Church, Vladimir Legoida, called the burning of the Koran in Stockholm an act of unacceptable vandalism. He stated that one cannot spit on what is sacred for another person and cross the boundaries of humanity in a political struggle.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro expressed the opinion that European leaders, who turn a blind eye to the burning of the Koran, are indirectly involved in this through their silence. He condemned the lack of reaction from the political leadership of Europe and some media outlets to the burning of holy scriptures in Sweden and Denmark.
At the beginning of 2024, the mayor of Arnhem, Ahmed Markush, said that Dutch laws do not prohibit burning the Koran, such actions are consistent with the right of citizens to demonstrate.
[BREITBART] The German city of Hamburg saw over a thousand Moslems rally on Saturday against the freedom of the press and other liberal values of the country while calling for the imposition of an Islamic caliphate.
Around 1,100 gathered in the central Hamburg district of St. Georg — a progressive area of Germany’s second-largest city often identified as a gay neighbourhood — to demonstrate against what they perceived as an attempt by the media to portray all Moslems in Germany as radical Islamists.
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... the rhetoric reported from the event indicated the radical positions of the group itself, with chants of Allahu Akbar (God is great or Our God is greater than yours). Meanwhile, ...back at the laboratory the smoke and fumes had dispersed, to reveal an ominous sight... signs at the rally declare that a "Caliphate is the solution" and others read: "Germany = dictatorship of values", NTV reports.
The rally was also attended by members of the Moslem Interactive group, a successor to Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... , an international Islamic fundamentalist political party seeking to institute a caliphate which was officially banned in Germany in 2003 for extremism.
Moslem Interaktiv, which was founded in 2020, previously organised a demonstration in St. Georg in October in the wake of the Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... terror attacks on Israel, despite the city placing bans on anti-Israel demonstrations at the time. The group has also been active outside of Germany, having organised a February 2023 protest against Qur’an burnings in Sweden.
Hamburg’s Interior Senator Andy Grote cited Moslem Interaktiv earlier this month as being part of a new generation of Islamist gunnies using social media to spread their messages to the youth of Germany.
The report noted that despite apparently violating some of the principles of Islam, the influencers often using top of the line video editing with a "very professional appearance" as well as using sports cars and luxury brands in an apparent effort to gain more interest in their Islamist message.
Senator Grote said that since attempting to take over the streets of Hamburg in October, local officials have launched a crackdown on the group, saying: "We responded with consistent prosecution, including searches, and some social media channels were shut down on the initiative of the security authorities."
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... young Moslems in Germany are apparently still susceptible to the Islamist worldview. A survey of grade nine Moslems around the age of 15 this month found that nearly half (45.8 per cent) believe that an Islamic theocracy is the best possible government, while over two-thirds said the rules of the Qur’an were more important than the laws of Germany.

BREAKING:
Hundreds of Islamists are demonstrating in Hamburg, Germany.
They are demanding that a caliphate is established in the country.

Hamburg has long been notorious for its active Salafi-Islamist community. The Al Qaeda 9/11 plotters lived there for some time, regularly worshipping at al-Quds Mosque, which the authorities closed in 2010. The membership were known to have links to jihadi groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
[GEO.TV] Two forces of Evil involved in murder and extortion were rubbed out during an intense exchange of fire between Death Eaters and security forces in Dera Ismail Khan ... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ... District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Sunday.

It said that a sanitization operation was being conducted to eliminate any other terrorist found in the area. The ISPR reaffirmed Pakistain security forces’ determination to wipe-out the menace of terrorism from the country.
As Pakistain witnesses a sharp rise in militancy, the military and armed forces have been actively engaged in actions to eliminate terrorists.
On Saturday, the security forces killed a terrorist and injured another in a shootout in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... 's district Harnai, the ISPR stated.
The exchange of fire took place as the security forces reacted immediately and effectively engaged the forces of Evil trying to intercept civilian vehicles on Sanjavi Road, it added.

[GEO.TV] At least seven Paleostinians were killed in fresh Israeli forces’ assault on Gazoo
Islamic 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. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation. , climbing the corpse count from another day of relentless bombings to 27, Al Jazeera reported. The publication said at least 10 of the victims were kids.
Meanwhile, ...back at the precinct house, Sergeant Maloney wasn't buying it. It was just too pat. The whole thing smelled phony, kind of like a dead mackeral but without the scales... Hamas ...always the voice of sweet reason... official Khalil al-Hayya has said the group was reviewing a new Israeli truce proposal, as Israel’s foreign minister said a planned incursion of Rafah would be "suspended" if a hostage deal is secured.

"The Guinea-Bissau International Ships Registry (GBISR), in a blatantly political move, informed the Freedom Flotilla Coalition that it had withdrawn the Guinea Bissau flag from two of the Freedom Flotilla's ships, one of which is our cargo ship," the activists said.
The three-strong flotilla had been due to sail on Friday from ports in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... with more than 5,000 tonnes of aid on board, the activists said, and described the inspection and request by Guinea Bissau authorities as unusual and political.
