[SHABELLEMEDIA] In a shocking turn of events on Sunday night, two residential homes in Baidoa, the interim administrative capital of the Southwest state, were attacked by unknown assailants.
The attacks involved the hurling of hand grenades at the residences of prominent Southwest state officials, causing a stir among residents and security agencies.
The first attack targeted the home of Kurow Amhar, a member of the Darwish army within the regional administration. Shortly after, a second grenade was thrown at the residence of Ilyas Ali Noor, the former Minister of Information of the Southwest administration, who currently serves as the director of the Tubsan Agency.
As of the latest reports, no group has stepped forward to claim responsibility for these attacks, leaving the motives behind the actions unclear.
The security agencies have not provided any information regarding the incidents, and no casualties have been reported in connection to the earth-shattering kabooms.
These attacks have raised concerns about the safety and security of officials within the Southwest state, prompting a call for increased vigilance and investigation into the matter.
Baidoa residents and officials alike are awaiting further details from the security agencies regarding the perpetrators and the reasons behind the attacks.
As the situation develops, it is crucial for the Southwest state’s security apparatus to take swift and decisive action to ensure the safety of its officials and citizens.
The lack of information and the absence of a claim of responsibility have only added to the uncertainty surrounding the events.
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Acting Governor of Khartoum State, Ahmed Osman Hamza, issued an emergency order on Monday imposing a curfew across the state.
The curfew restricts the movement of people and vehicles from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM and bans all commercial activities and pedestrian movement from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM.
However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... the state government currently only controls Omdurman and Karari localities, operating from a temporary office north of Omdurman.
The order cites security concerns as justification for protecting citizens.
Experts have voiced alarm over the security situation in government-controlled areas of Khartoum and other 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 cities. They argue that the current measures are insufficient to address the wartime threats facing the country, and are calling for a more robust security approach.
Law enforcement can seize vehicles and arrest individuals suspected of violating the curfew, with searches of suspected premises authorized. Violators face penalties of up to six months in prison or a fine, with doubled penalties for repeat offences.
This curfew follows the state of emergency declared by Acting Governor Hamza on May 2nd. The state of emergency established a security cell and addressed concerns related to foreign nationals. Military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan approved the state of emergency.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] A disturbing investigation by 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... Tribune has uncovered evidence suggesting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been executing civilians by hanging inside secret execution chambers across the capital, Khartoum.
The ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF has already witnessed countless civilian casualties. However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... the investigation reveals a new level of brutality — executions by hanging inside private residences across the capital.
Sudan Tribune obtained a video clip depicting professionally constructed gallows set up inside a house in Omdurman’s Wad al-Basir area. Additionally, a guillotine was discovered installed within the same building.
EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS
Residents recently returned to areas previously controlled by the RSF have provided chilling accounts. They described an execution chamber in an apartment located on Wad al-Basir Street, a location reclaimed by the army in February.
Video clips of executions and ethnic cleansing committed by the fighting forces in Sudan are circulating on social media. These videos show cold-blooded executions of civilians in various regions, as confirmed by international reports and human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... organizations.
Activists told Sudan Tribune about the existence of at least 14 secret execution chambers established by the RSF in Khartoum, Bahri, and Omdurman. These facilities are allegedly overseen by officers who act as judges, issuing death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... s for civilians accused of collaborating with the army intelligence.
An activist in Khartoum Bahri documented the presence of six RSF execution rooms in a house on al-Inqaz Street, facing the Weta Factory. There are also two rooms in the Shambat al-Aradi neighbourhood, another in the al-Safia neighbourhood, and two rooms near the Parachute Regiment camp in the Hijra neighbourhood.
GUILLOTINE OF DEATH
Activists and residents in Omdurman, including those living on Wad al-Basir Street in the Wad Nubawi neighbourhood, confirmed the existence of an execution chamber used by the RSF. One resident described the setup: a steel beam near the ceiling, a steel stand in the middle, a strong rope attached to it, and a deep hole dug into the floor.
In the Umbada area, residents confirmed the existence of two execution rooms. Steel legs were found inside two houses, along with the remains of people who had been hanged. It was unclear whether the victims were soldiers or civilians.
The RSF has executed dozens of people by hanging in four neighbourhoods in Khartoum. Residents in al-Kalakla, south of Khartoum, confirmed executions in the al-Kalakla al-Qubba, al-Safa, and al-Kalakla al-Munawara neighbourhoods.
A resident of the al-Sajana neighbourhood mentioned in a telephone interview with Sudan Tribune that there are execution and torture rooms inside houses near the El-Alamein Sports Club. He confirmed that six people were executed there at varying intervals.
He also mentioned an execution guillotine set up on a tree inside one of the houses, visible from the outside. RSF Soldiers modified it multiple times and executed people at night.
He added that the bodies were transported to an unknown location, with soldiers dragging the bodies away before returning to the same house.
Despite the conflict entering its second year (since April 2023), the RSF retains control of Khartoum city, while the Sudanese army has recaptured Omdurman and significant portions of Khartoum Bahri.

[AFRICANEWS] Rwanda says it didn't arm rebels accused of a grenade attack, despite Burundi's accusations. Relations between the two countries remain tense.
"We call on Burundi to solve its own internal problems and not associate Rwanda with such despicable matters," government spokesperson Yolande Makolo said in a statement Sunday.
Burundi's interior ministry blamed the grenade attack on Friday that injured 38 people on RED-Tabara rebels and said the group was backed by Rwanda. The rebel group denied responsibility for the attack.
Relations between Rwanda and Burundi have deteriorated since early this year when Burundian President Evariste Ndayishimiye renewed accusations that Rwanda was funding and training the RED-Tabara rebels, who oppose the Burundi government.
Burundian authorities consider RED-Tabara a terrorist movement and accuse its members of being part of a failed coup attempt in 2015. The group first appeared in 2011 and has been accused of a string of attacks in Burundi since 2015.
In January, the Rwandan government accused Burundi of closing the border between the two countries, two weeks after an attack that Burundi said was carried out by the RED-Tabara group.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Angry popular protests broke out on Sunday evening against the government loyal to the Saudi-led coalition and the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) in various areas of the city of Aden in southern 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... Angry protesters blocked the main streets in al-Mansoura area with burning tires and stones to protest the collapse of electricity services and the rise in prices due to the deterioration of the local currency, after the dollar exchange reached 1,700 riyals.
The demonstrators rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud demanding the departure of the coalition and its tools in reference to the "Presidential Leadership Council" and the STC from the city and all southern regions.
The participants in the angry demonstration denounced the increase in power outage hours to more than eight hours, considering the pro-coalition government’s presence to be "a disaster and a disgrace" to the people of Aden.
People in Sheikh Othman and Khor Maksar areas also erupted into the streets protesting against corruption, expressing discontent, and demanding the removal of corrupt officials.

Strip on Monday, forcing hundreds of civilians to flee, as a ferocious attack which began on Sunday evening continued.
In Jabalia, tanks were trying to advance towards the heart of the camp, the biggest of Gaza's eight historic refugee camps, amid fierce festivities with Paleostinian groups.
Residents said tank shells were landing at the centre of the camp and that air strikes had destroyed clusters of houses.
An al-Jazeera correspondent said that Israeli forces had heavily fired on civilian shelters in the camp, forcing hundreds of civilians to flee. They also fired on ambulances which tried to move into the camp.
Residents and medics said several people were killed and maimed in a series of air strikes on the camp overnight. Medics said they have been unable to send teams to some of the bombed areas because of the intensity of the Israeli bombardment but they have reports of fatalities.

[GEO.TV] Israeli settlers launched fresh attacks on Paleostinians and set their land on fire in the occupied West Bank on Monday, the Wafa news agency reported.
The attacks were carried out near the village of Madama south of Nablus. Israeli forces are preventing other Paleostinians from accessing the area to stop the settlers, the news agency said.
In the Bethlehem area, settlers also stole large quantities of wheat and barley crops from Paleostinian farmers.
The incident took place in the village of al-Minya southeast of Bethlehem, where settlers also attacked farmers and sheep herders, Wafa added.

[NEWARAB] Hezbollah announced that it targeted a group of Israeli soldiers on Sunday in the Shebaa border area using a new type of heavy rocket, named the "Jihad Mughniyeh" missile.
The rocket, an unguided tactical missile with a 120-kilogram warhead, was named after a Hezbollah soldier killed by Israel while fighting in Syria in 2015.
Jihad was the son of Imad Mughniyeh, one of the founders of Hezbollah who was accused by the US of carrying out the 1983 bombing of the US embassy in Beirut. Imad Mughniyeh was killed in a joint CIA-Mossad operation involving boom-mobile on 12 February 2008, in Damascus, Syria.
Since border festivities between Hezbollah and Israel started on 8 October, Hezbollah has rolled out new weaponry in phases.
Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> 's has unveiled new types of weaponry during speeches, such as the Burkan missile which carries a payload of 300-500kg and can fly undetected under the Iron Dome.
