[ToloNews] Following reports of festivities between the Islamic Emirate forces and Commander Mawlawi Mahdi in Balkhab district of Sar-e-Pul ...a city and eponymous province in northern Afghanistan, population about 500,000. Demographically it is majority Tadjik and Uzbek. There are small Pashtun, Arab, and Hazara communities, of which the Hazaras mostly don't bother anyone... , the MoD stated that the dispute has ended.
Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently... in a meeting with Shia holy mans and elders of Balkhab, 2nd Deputy PM Abdul Salam Hanafi stressed the importance of preventing civilian casualties in Balkhab.
Amnesia Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the UN special rapporteur for Afghanistan human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... reacted to the festivities in Balkhab and called for the prevention of civilian casualties.
In the meantime, an online campaign was launched by social media users calling for international organizations to support citizens in Balkhab.
The videos being circulated on social media show a Islamic Emirate’s forces’ military convoy heading towards Balkhab.
"It is better for them to enforce a law which is acceptable for the international community," said Asadullah Nadim, a political analyst.
"It is better that the Taliban ...Arabic for students... turn their hands away from violence and accept that others are also Afghans and have the right to live and work," Nadim said.
The Ministry of Defense said that the Islamic Emirate has not suffered any casualties in the festivities in Balkhab.
"The policy of the Islamic Emirate is to not take any stand against the citizens. (The Islamic Emirate) wants all Afghans to live together and to not allow anyone to create sedition in the nation," Hanafi was quoted on Twitter of the ARG.
Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently... residents of provinces in neighboring Sar-e-Pul expressed concerns over the possible surge of insecurity in their provinces.
"We hope to find a solution and that the violence will not be extended and the voice of everyone will be heard," said Raziq, a resident of Bamiyan ...a place in Afghanistan that used to have some historically interesting statues of the Buddha carved into a mountainside. Then the holy men showed up and now all they have is some big holes... "A surge in violence and insecurity has caused further damages to the residents of central areas and we hope this issue will be considered," said Massoud Ekhtiarai, a resident of Daikundi.
The festivities in Balkhab faced reactions from international human rights organizations.
"Amnesia Amnesty International is gravely concerned by reports of summary executions and harm to civilians in Balkhab district of Sari-Pul province," Amnesia Amnesty International said on Twitter. "The parties to the conflict are obliged to fully observe laws of war in all hostilities and avoid harming civilians and civilian objects."
ICYMI: #Sudan will summon back its ambassador to Addis Ababa immediately for consultations following the killing of seven Sudanese soldiers who were being held captive by the #Ethiopian military, the foreign ministry says.https://t.co/fmzMqyDker
Sudan will summon back its ambassador to Addis Ababa immediately for consultations following the killing of seven Sudanese soldiers who were being held captive by the Æthiopian military, the foreign ministry said on Monday.
The ministry will also summon the Æthiopian ambassador to Khartoum on Monday to directly condemn the killing, it added.
The Sudanese armed forces said in a statement late Sunday :"In an act that contravenes all laws and customs of war and international humanitarian law, the Æthiopian army executed seven Sudanese soldiers and a citizen who were their captives."
[REGNUM] The Sudanese authorities will give a tangible response to the execution of Sudanese soldiers after a clash on the border with Ethiopia. This was stated by the head of the Transitional Sovereign Council of Sudan Abdel Fattah al-Burhan , the press service of the Sudanese army reported.
He also promised that Khartoum would not allow such events in the future, as well as any encroachment on its territory.
Earlier, the Sudanese Ministry of Defense announced the execution of seven Sudanese soldiers who were captured by the Sudanese side after the conflict on the border between the two states.
Tensions between Sudan and Ethiopia have run high in recent years because of a spillover of the conflict in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region and Ethiopia's construction of a giant hydropower dam on the Blue Nile.
Tens of thousands of refugees have fled into eastern Sudan and there have been military skirmishes in an area of contested farmland along the border between Sudan and Ethiopia.

The Syrians have been complaining about not getting paid almost since Turkey sent them there, Chris. But there was nothing for them to do back home as Syria reconquered their corner of the revolting provinces.
Gunmen suspected to cultists have gone on rampage in Akwuke, Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State, shooting dead a pregnant woman and a vigilante member.
The hoodlums were also said to have shot a secondary school girl in the leg who is now receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.
SaharaReporters gathered the incident took place on Saturday night around 8pm.
Three of hoodlums were said to have stormed a drinking joint and ordered everybody to lie down.
The owner of the joint, who also lived in the same compound, had sensed danger and escaped through the back door but his pregnant wife was not so lucky as the men pursued her into her kitchen and shot her dead.
A young man, whose name was given as Nonso, one of the vigilante members, who was at the joint tried to escape but was also rubbed out.
The pregnant woman's house help, who was also helping out in the joint was shot in the leg and is now receiving treatment at a hospital, SaharaReporters was told.
According to community sources, the button men had earlier gone into a compound inside Akwuke and demanded to see another young man but the man was not at home prompting them to come for the owner of the drinking joint, Hon. Felix Onyia, the immediate past counsellor representing Akwuke ward at the Enugu South legislative Assembly.
An eyewitness who spoke with SaharaReporters on condition of anonymity described the incident as horrific and terrifying.
He said, "I saw everything. I asked the woman to prepare fish for me and I was drinking, waiting for the fish when we heard, "Lie down, all of you."
"NwaGod popularly known as Hon. Onyia was sitting on the other side with Nonso, the vigilante man that was shot. When they told us to lie down, I quickly moved into one of the rooms and from there, I jumped through the window and they saw me but did not shot me. It was later I learnt that they shot NwaGod's wife and shot Nonso, the security man also. They also shot the girl that was serving in the beer parlour."
When contacted on telephone, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, said, "I am not aware of the incident but I'll get back to you. Where exactly in Akwuke do you say the incident happened?"
An angry mob has reportedly burnt to death one of the armed herdsmen who kidnapped a Catholic priest, Rev Fr Christopher Odia of St Micheal Catholic Church, Ikabigbo, Edo State on Sunday and killed him.
The suspected kidnapper was said to have been apprehended by youths of Ikabigbo, Uzairue, Etsako West Local Government Area of the state and was lynched.
SaharaReporters gathered that after the turbans had kidnapped the priest, the youths of the area went after them. They reportedly opened fire on the youths pursuing them, killed one of them and seriously injured three others.
A source said, "The kidnappers also shot full of holes the Reverend Father in anger. The youths wouldn't give up even with the casualties on their side until they arrested two of the gang members.
"One of the turbans was burnt to death and the other retrieved from the angry youths by coppers."
When the State Police Command's front man, Chidi Nwabuzor was contacted for reaction, he confirmed the killing of one of the abductors.
Nwabuzor told SaharaReporters that the kidnapper was killed by its operatives who went after the murderers with local security (vigilantes) after received information on the abduction incident.
He said, "Following the kidnap of the parish priest of St Michael Catholic church, lkhabigbo, Etsako West local government area of Edo State, Rev Father Christopher Odia in his rectory while coming out to go for Sunday mass in the wee hours of 26/6/22, a combined team of police tactical teams went into the forest with a view to rescue the Catholic priest.
"In frustration, the kidnapped Rev Father Christopher Odia was killed by his abductors.
"Intensive bush combing is ongoing towards ensuring that those who escaped are arrested and made to face justice."
Meanwhile, ...back at the bunker, his Excellency called a hurried meeting of his closest advisors. It was to be his last. They discussed the officers's efficiency rating system... a video SaharaReporters saw on Monday, appeared to show where one of the kidnappers' reportedly killed was being burnt.

[OneIndia] Two unidentified bully boyz on Monday were killed in an encounter with security forces in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... , police said.
Security forces launched a cordon and search operation at Nowpora-Kherpora in the Trubji area of the district following information about the presence of bully boyz there, a police official said.
He said the search operation turned into an encounter in which two ultras were killed.
The identity and group affiliation of the slain bully boyz is being ascertained, the official said, adding the operation is still underway.
[Rudaw] A Ottoman Turkish drone on Monday targeted a military point of Kurdish forces in the vicinity of Tal Tamir, northern Syria, leading to the injury of a fighter, a war monitor reported.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said the Ottoman Turkish drone hit a US-allied Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) military point in Tal Laben village in Tal Tamir, northwest Hasaka. "It led to the injury of a fighter from the Council," added the UK-based monitor, referring to the SDF’s local military council.
SOHR also said that Ankara has carried out 32 air strikes against Kurdish forces in northeast Syria (Rojava) since the beginning of this year, killing 20 fighters, children and women as well as injuring 62 others.
The Rojava Information Centre, a local monitor group affiliated to the Kurdish administration, also reported the drone attack by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... , saying it led to the injury of "one person."
Turkey has recently renewed threats to carry out a new military operation against the Kurdish-led SDF in northern Syria’s Manbij and Tal Rifaat towns in a bid to complete the 30 kilometer "safe zone" it began creating along its southern borders in recent years.
Ankara claims that the People’s Protection Units (YPG), the backbone of the SDF, is the Syrian offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) which is an gang fighting for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey. Ankara considers both the PKK and YPG as terrorist organziations and a threat to its national security.

[ALARABIYA] The US military said it conducted a "kinetic strike" overnight Monday in Syria in an operation that targeted a senior al-Qaeda-linked terrorist.
"CENTCOM Forces conducted a kinetic strike in Idlib province, Syria, June 27, targeting Abu Hamzah alYemen ...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... i, a big shot of Hurrah al-Din, an Al Qaeda-aligned terrorist organization," a statement from the US Central Command read.
The US has come under increased criticism for Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s that have killed civilians. But the US said al-Yemeni was alone while traveling on a cycle of violence, and no civilian casualties were reported.
Extremist organizations like Hurras al-Din continue to present a threat to America and its allies, CENTCOM said, adding that al-Qaeda-aligned bully boyz use Syria as a safe haven to coordinate with external affiliates and plan operations outside of Syria.
"The removal of this big shot will disrupt al-Qaeda’s ability to carry out attacks against US citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians around the world," CENTCOM said.
US-led coalition troops detained a senior ISIS leader earlier this month, also inside Syria, the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) said.
Also this year, US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... announced a special operation carried out by US troops, killing ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi.
The strikes targeted Abu Hamzah al Yemeni, a "senior leader" of Al Qaeda-aligned Hurras al-Din.
It added that an initial review did not indicate civilian casualties.
The Syrian Civil Defence, a humanitarian organization, said in a tweet that a man was killed shortly before midnight after his motorcycle was targeted with two rockets, adding it has transferred the body to the forensic department in Idlib city.

...Interesting commentary on this over at the Always Fascinating strategypage.com . Short version - apparently the various terrorist leaders are finding life quite uncomfortable these days.
For some time their preferred strategy was to hide in crowds...until the Russians and Syrians stopped caring and started taking out the crowds as well. Moving alone by motorcycle is fast, but then you have the problem of the United States Air Force and its Predator crews being realy, really good at finding lone dudes on motorcycles trying to look inconspicuous.
