[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Khartoum Emergency Room revealed on Tuesday that 43 of its volunteers have been killed since the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took control of the state, which has been the most affected by the ongoing conflict.
Emergency rooms, established by volunteers after the conflict broke out on April 15, 2023, have been active in providing food and health services to millions of 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. They have also worked to expose violations committed by the warring parties.
Abd al-Rahman Darmali, a member of the Khartoum Emergency Room, told Sudan Tribune, ''The room has recorded an increase in the number of deaths among its members, reaching 43, including three female members, from the start of the war on April 15, 2023, until April 2024.''
He explained that emergency room members have been increasingly targeted recently, putting their lives at risk while performing their duties.
During their control over most of Khartoum state, before the army recaptured it last March, the Rapid Support Forces committed widespread violations against emergency room volunteers, including looting, kidnapping, and killing.
Darmali stated that the emergency rooms do not have statistics on the number of members currently held in detention.
Dozens of volunteers in emergency rooms, especially in Khartoum, have been subjected to a wide-ranging campaign of arrests, though this has not deterred them from serving communities affected by the conflict.
On August 8, the Fatihab Resistance® Committees in Omdurman called for an independent investigation into the death of volunteer Khalid al-Zubair ''Esti'' inside an army intelligence detention centre in Khartoum, following a detention that lasted nearly two years.

[SUDANTRIBUNE] At least 24 non-combatants were killed and dozens were maimed by intense artillery shelling from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in el-Fasher, the capital of 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 North Darfur state, doctors said on Thursday.
The city has been under its most violent mostly peaceful air and ground attacks from the RSF for more than 10 consecutive days, forcing thousands of people to flee.
A statement from the Sudan Doctors' Network said the shelling on Wednesday targeted the central market area and the Awlad al-Reef neighbourhood. ''Twenty-four people were killed and 55 others injured, including five women,'' the group said.
The doctors' network condemned what it called a ''massacre'' and a ''heinous crime,'' adding it to a series of alleged war crimes and genocide targeting unarmed civilians in el-Fasher for more than a year, amid a tight siege and severe shortages of food and medicine.
The statement described the targeting of densely populated residential areas as a ''flagrant violation of all international and humanitarian laws.''
It accused the international community, the UN Security Council, 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... of ''silence and inability'' to confront the crimes and called for immediate action to stop the shelling and lift the siege on the city.
As fighting intensifies, thousands of trapped residents face a severe humanitarian crisis, with shortages of food and medicine after the RSF cut off all roads into el-Fasher and blocked aid deliveries.

The IAF on Thursday attacked a group of top Houthi military officials in Sanaa who were watching the Houthi leader give a nationally televised speech.
At press time, the results of the attack were still uncertain, but there were increasing indications that the Houthis' defense minister and military chief were killed in the attack, as well as potentially others.
Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir monitored the attack from IDF headquarters, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following from a secure "red phone."

Clearly Allah intends Israel to be his instrument for punishing the Houthis and all who work to fulfill the will of the Mad Mullahs.

It's all horrible -- Idk why all earth-dwellers cannot live and let live
-- On the other hand, on the positive side, those who died surely did so whilst doing what they loved to do, i.e., planning the murder of Israelis who trying go to work or go to school, or just go to sleep at night. So, there is that.
[DW] A 21-year-old Syrian citizen is in investigative custody in Dresden after a young American man was stabbed in the face on a tram over the weekend in the eastern German city. New information may link him to the attack.
Dresden police and prosecutors said on Tuesday that they had arrested a 21-year-old Syrian in connection with a knife attack on a late-night tram in the city over the weekend.
He was detained in the early hours of Tuesday, police said, and was put in investigative custody on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, among other offenses.
The man in question had already been detained once before and was released soon after the incident, with no initial indication of him being directly involved in injuring a young American. But Sherlocks said new information might implicate him more directly.
Police said in a blurb that after further investigation there was now reasonable grounds to suspect that he was "involved in the knife attack against the 20-year-old American and also himself injured the victim with a dangerous object."
Tuesday's statement made no direct mention of the second suspect, originally believed to be the prime culprit behind the injuries sustained by the American man. As of Monday afternoon, authorities in the eastern German state of Saxony were still seeking him and had appealed for help from potential witnesses.
[IsraelTimes] Two French teens were charged earlier this month for conspiring to carry out terror attacks on synagogues and the Eiffel Tower, Le Figaro reports.
The newspaper says the two suspects came from Arab-Muslim families and shared a fascination with the Islamic State terror group.
The two minors — aged 15 and 17 — also discussed the possibility of traveling abroad to fight and were heavy consumers of ultra-violent online content, the newspaper says.
According to the French outlet, the teens were arrested on July 29 and 30 amid an investigation that began in April. The two were charged on August 1, the newspaper says.
[GEO.TV] At least 61 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since dawn, including 19 aid seekers in Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reported, citing sources in the occupied territory.
…if true, a whole 3.1% of the population, less than Gaza’s roughly 2% per year growth rate…
and injured 159,266
…8%…
since October 7, 2023, Al Jazeera quoted the enclave's Health Ministry on Thursday.
At least 71 Palestinians, including 22 aid seekers, have been killed and 339 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in 24 hours.
The total number of aid seekers killed since May 27, when Israel introduced a new aid distribution mechanism through the US-based GHF, has reached 2,180, with more than 16,046 injured, the statement said.
…every single one of which was boobytrapped with bombs and/or a jihadi fighting point and/or the entrance to a Hamas tunnel. So it is all Hamas’s fault, justlike everything else that has happened in Gaza since Hamas took over on 14 June 2007.
[GEO.TV] Israel has demolished more than 1,500 homes in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gazoo
...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 a rusty 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... City since launching a ground offensive earlier this month, Gaza's Civil Defence has said.
Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the rescue service, told Anadolu news agency that no buildings remain standing in the southern part of the neighbourhood.
He said the Israeli army has used construction machinery alongside bomb-laden robots and quadcopter drones that drop explosives on rooftops. According to Basal, Israeli forces are destroying an average of seven sites per day, accelerating the pace of devastation.
The systematic demolitions have forced about 80 percent of Zeitoun's residents to flee, moving to western and northern parts of Gaza City in search of safety, Basal added.

[GEO.TV] Israeli forces have launched several new raids in the occupied West Bank, after earlier carrying out a wave of home invasions and arrests that included targeting activists and journalists, Al Jazeera reported, citing the Wafa news agency.
The latest incursions occurred in the town of al-Yamun, near Jenin, and Jalazone camp, near Ramallah, reports Wafa.
In al-Yamun, Israeli forces raided several homes and tampered with residents' contents, while in Jalazone camp, they fired tear gas near homes, according to Wafa.
Pictures and videos circulating online show Israeli forces operating in the West Bank city of Nablus and facing off against stone-throwing Palestinians.
Footage shows military vehicles moving through city streets, with troops appearing to fire warning shots.
Additional clips capture soldiers detaining several local residents during the operation.
The official Palestinian Authority news outlet Wafa reports that two Palestinians were treated for gunshot wounds and dozens of others were injured by tear gas and rubber bullets, citing the Red Crescent.
The reports come a day after Israeli police said security forces seized roughly NIS 1.5 million ($447,000) in “terror funds” during a raid on a currency exchange office in Ramallah that authorities said was linked to Hamas. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, dozens were wounded in yesterday’s raid, some by live fire and others by rubber bullets or tear gas inhalation.
The IDF has not yet commented on its activity in Nablus.
[NAHARNET] Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Thursday targeted the al-Zighrin area on the eastern outskirts of the Jezzine district town of al-Rihan, the National News Agency said.
The stream of the al-Khardali River was also targeted by several airstrikes in the al-Mahmoudiyeh area, NNA added.
The Israeli army claimed that the strikes had targeted ''several Hezbollah infrastructure sites and a rocket launchpad.''
Israel has repeatedly bombed the aforementioned areas since the November ceasefire came into effect.
Since the war ended with a U.S.-brokered agreement, Hezbollah officials have said the group will not discuss its disarmament until Israel withdraws from five hills it controls inside Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel... and stops almost daily airstrikes that have killed or maimed hundreds of people, most of them Hezbollah members.
Lebanon is under U.S. pressure to disarm Hezbollah after the group fought a 14-month war with Israel and was left gravely weakened, with many of its political and military leaders killed.

[NAHARNET] Paleostinian groups in three refugee camps in south Leb ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.... handed over heavy weapons to the Lebanese army on Thursday, under a disarmament deal reached earlier this year, Lebanese and Paleostinian authorities said.
During a visit to Beirut in May, Paleostinian president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....> and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun agreed that weapons in Lebanon's Paleostinian camps would be handed over to the Lebanese authorities.
The implementation of the deal -- part of Lebanese authorities' decision to disarm all non-state groups -- began last week as Abbas's Fatah movement surrendered its weapons in south Beirut's Burj al-Barajneh camp.
The official Lebanese-Paleostinian dialogue committee said on Thursday that "heavy weapons belonging to the factions of the Paleostine Liberation Organization in the Rashidieh, al-Bass and Burj al-Shemali camps were handed over to the Lebanese army".
Abbas's Fatah is the most prominent PLO faction. Paleostinian murderous Moslem groups Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... and Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , which are allied to Lebanon's Hezbollah, are not part of the organization.
By longstanding convention, the Lebanese army stays out of the Paleostinian camps -- where Fatah, Hamas and other gangs are present -- and leaves the factions to handle security.
The statement said six truckloads of weapons were removed from Rashidieh, and one truck each from the other two locations, adding that the process would continue in the rest of Lebanon's Paleostinian camps.
In an army barracks in city of Tyre, near the Rashidieh camp, an AFP photographer saw several army trucks arriving after the handover.
In Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Abbas's front man Nabil Abu Rudeina confirmed that "the relevant Paleostinian authorities in Lebanon have handed over the second batch of Paleostine Liberation Organisation weapons" to the army in the three camps as part of the May agreement.
Lebanon hosts about 222,000 Paleostinian refugees, according to the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... agency UNRWA.
The move to collect the Paleostinian factions' weapons comes as the Lebabese government, under heavy U.S. pressure and amid fears of expanded Israeli military action, has tasked the army with drawing up a plan to disarm Hezbollah by the end of the year.
During a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah thon the lamly ended with a November ceasefire, Paleostinian groups including Hamas claimed rocket fire towards Israel.
