[SHABELLEMEDIA] Three Kenyan copperswere maimed Monday when al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... gunnies attacked a security camp in the border region of Mandera, local police said Tuesday.
Northeastern Regional Police Commander George Seda said Tuesday the officers were at the El-Ram Anti-Stock Theft Unit camp when they were attacked by the snuffies at about 2 a.m. in Kutulo area.
"The injured coppers are out of danger," Seda told Xinhua on the phone, noting that the coppers were hit by bullets in the legs and stomach.
Seda said the officers in the camp fought back and repulsed the attackers who reportedly escaped toward the Kenya-Somalia border. Search for the attackers continued along the mostly non-existent border following the deployment of more security forces.
On July 22, a team of security agents escaped death narrowly when their two vehicles ran over an bomb in Mandera County. The team was driving from Fino toward Sheikh Barrow when their vehicles were hit by an improvised bomb at intervals. The officers, however, survived and jumped out amid a gun attack by suspected al-Shabaab snuffies who were waiting near there.
The snuffies have also been targeting communication masts in a series, destroying them in the same area. In the recent past, there have been numerous attacks involving landmines, grenades, or other bombs in northeast Kenya.
Most of these attacks occurred in northeastern Kenya, mainly in Wajir, Garissa, and Mandera counties as well as along the Kenyan coast.
[SHABELLEMEDIA] Major General Tesfaye Ayalew, head of deployment unit of the Æthiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) and coordinator of the temporary security command post in the Somali regional state, said that coordinated measures were being taken "to clean up the members of the al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... hard boyz "who were cut off from their unit that tried to infiltrate through Eastern Æthiopia."
Maj. Gen Tesfaye said that the group tried to attack through five different border areas, namely Yeed, Aato, El-Barde, Waqasho and Ferfer, but they were completely repelled by the security forces.
Several heavy weapons and small arms were also seized from the group, including automatic machine guns and RPGs, he said, adding that currently the joint ENDF and the Somali regional state security forces have fully entered these areas.
Furthermore state media reported that 85 members of the al-Shabaab hard boyz were killed in a joint operation by the federal and regional security forces at a place called El-Qudun village in Ferfer Woreda, Gode zone of Somali regional state. Many more were maimed and captured.
The news came after Somali region security council said on 25 July that the bully boy group, which entered the Afdheer zone of Somali region on 20 July from the place called Aato, in Bakool region of neighboring Somalia bordering Æthiopia’s Somali region, was "completely destroyed after being encircled in the sub-kebelle called Hulhul."
Reinforcement members of the ENDF were sent on 25 July to join the Somali region security forces in the fight against the bully boy group. Prior to that the Somali region security council said that more than 100 members of al-Shabaab hard boyz were killed in the three-day operation, the Council said, and "13 vehicles were burnt and the weapons and supplies they brought with them were confiscated."

The Somali air force is not currently operational and has no aircraft. It is composed of approximately 170 personnel: 40-50 officers, ranging from second lieutenant to colonel, and 120-130 non-commissioned officers and airmen.
[AnNahar] Morocco's navy intercepted more than 350 illegal migrants colonists, including four children, in waters off its coast, a military official said on Tuesday.
The 359 people rescued between Saturday and Monday had been "aboard makeshift boats, kayaks or swimming" in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the unnamed official said, quoted by MAP news agency.
Mainly from sub-Saharan Africa, the migrants colonists, who also included 10 women, received first aid aboard navy vessels before being transported to the nearest Moroccan ports, according to the same source.
On Monday, the Moroccan authorities said the bodies of eight migrants colonists were recovered off the southern shores of the North African kingdom.
Morocco is a key transit point on routes taken by migrants colonists seeking better lives in Europe.
The Caminando Fronteras charity says almost 1,000 migrants colonists died or were reported missing at sea in the first half of the year as they tried to reach Spain.
BREAKING: Nigerian Army Searches For Captain, 13 Soldiers Abducted By Terrorists In Abuja Community Whie Responding To Distress Call | Sahara Reporters https://t.co/bpiFJIlvAypic.twitter.com/g7BJQ6s7Fj
[SAHARAREPORTERS] Some faceless myrmidons who planned to attack the Nigerian Law School in Abuja and later ambushed some Nigerian Army personnel in Bwari, the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, were led by two kingpins.
According to Daily Nigerian, the faceless myrmidons were led by two banditry kingpins, Kachalla Ali Kawaje and Kachalla Dansadi.
Kawaje, who controls hundreds of fighters in Kuyambana Forest, which stretches across Zamfara, Kebbi, Kaduna and Niger states, was responsible for shooting down a Nigerian Air Force jet on July 18, 2021.
Security reports say the faceless myrmidons planned to attack the Central Mosque and worship centres and security formations in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This is coming few weeks after faceless myrmidons who later identitfied themselves as 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.... - West African Province (ISWAP) attacked the Kuje Correctional Centre in the Nigeria’s capital, releasing over 800 inmates including 64 Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... suspects and killed 10 inmates and one security officer.
Intelligence sources also confirmed that the faceless myrmidons were planning to plant improvised bombs in open manholes around security formations, mosques, churches and public places.
"Central Mosque, Abuja, was particularly targeted for attack," the source said.
The source further revealed that credible intelligence had revealed that the kidnappers and bandidos terrorising Bwari general area are camping on the mountains and caves behind Usman Dam, linking Ushafa to Mpape satellite communities.
"The faceless myrmidons have been mingling with the locals recently. They came on cycle of violences from their camps to buy food and drugs in Ushafa and Mpape," the security source added.
The source said unless serious security measures are taken to frustrate their plans, the faceless myrmidons may strike any moment.
Parts of the security measures advised during a recent security meeting are immediate replacement of the stolen manhole covers, ban on commercial cycle of violences in the FCT and stepping up surveillance on the outskirts of the city.
La Belle France has expelled more than 2,700 foreign immigrants colonists in the last two years for engaging in criminal activities, the French interior minister said Tuesday.
A total of 2,751 foreign offenders have been deported, including 900 for domestic violence, according to information shared by Gerald Darmanin with French radio RTL. Around one-quarter of the immigrants colonists subjected to expulsion orders were deported.
Actually sent away? I am impressed.
A majority of those expelled, particularly in the first half of 2022, is from the North African and African countries.
Unexpectedly.
Darmanin said his office rejected applications for residence permits of nearly 72,000 foreigners due to criminal records.
The issue of foreign offenders is again in the spotlight after Darmanin was criticized for expelling an immigrant foreign national Sunday for allegedly assaulting three coppers in Lyon.
The suspect was caught last week by plainclothes police for allegedly snatching a gold chain in the Guillotiere neighborhood. The situation quickly escalated into a fight as civilians tried to free the suspect who was pinned to the ground by police and additional reinforcements had to be called in.
Although the Lyon prosecutor's office declared the immigrant was not guilty, the interior minister has been firm on his expulsion order, claiming the suspect was a repeat offender.
"Foreign offenders have no place in La Belle France," he said.
The Guillotiere district, largely inhabited by marginalized black and immigrant families, is frequently raided by police. Since Jan. 1, 700 police operations have taken place in the area, according to a Le Monde report.
Immigrants colonists in "irregular conditions" who are undocumented or have not received asylum are subjected to regular harassment from law enforcement agencies.
They do not receive accommodation or financial support from the state, unlike documented refugees. They are constantly engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with authorities in an attempt to stay in La Belle France or to try and reach Britannia by crossing the English Channel.
Hundreds of immigrants colonists are killed every year while trying to escape law enforcement or undertaking dangerous crossings to reach a safe place.
[NPASYRIA] Canadian 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.... Organization (ISIS) member Mohammed Khalifa is facing a life imprisonment sought by US prosecutors over charges of promoting the organization’s propaganda and engaging in gory actions in Syria.
In materials filled in a court, the prosecutors said that Khalifa "most prolific propagandists" in ISIS was a "formidable figure within ISIS."
He is accused of producing gory videos used by the ISIS to "incite attacks and recruit", and also of executing two Syrian soldiers.
In 2013, Khalifa moved to join ISIS in Syria, where he "underwent training and used his English-language skills to narrate ISIS execution videos," according Global News.
39-year-old Khalifa, who was born in 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... , was scheduled to be sentenced this Friday.
Khalifa’s proficiency with the English language, intelligence and communication skills made him a valuable asset to ISIS.
In early 2019, he engaged in fighting.
On Jan. 13, 2019, he was captured when his AK-47 broke down while he was trying to target Kurdish fighters backed by the US.
The US detained him and transferred him to Washington D.C.
Scores of Canadian nationals of ISIS suspects are held in camps in northeast Syria, but the Canadian government does not agree to repatriate them, saying that it has no obligation to assist them or bring them home.

Why does the US have to be involved in this case? If he was captured while fighting Kurds, why not leave him to the tender mercies of his captors? Why does our government have to be involved?

Morning, Ralf!

The Kurds have neither the manpower nor the funds to run the kind of prison system these people require for the long term. Most of them came from far away, so the Kurds feel justified in demanding that their home countries share the cost and effort.
The Canadian government means that idiot, Justin Trudeau. Apparently we are doing the Kurds this small favour because Canada refuses to step up to its responsibilities.
I thought Aca Joe was Mexican, not American. He’s made it clear he lives here as part of the Mexican Reconquista. Did he also steal an American citizenship?

Based on language skills and the level of antisemitism, I get the impression there are multiple Aca Joes running the same 'nym. Not all of them seem equally familiar with the backstory as originally presented.
[Rudaw] One Ottoman Turkish soldier and four Ankara-affiliated Kurdish village guards were killed by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the Kurdistan Region’s bordering areas on Monday, according to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... ’s defence ministry.
The ministry said in a statement on Monday that the PKK killed a soldier without mentioning where he was killed. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... state media reported that he was killed in the framework of Turkey’s Operation Claw-Thunderbolt earlier in the day. The ministry later said in a separate statement that four village guards affiliated to the interior ministry were also killed by the group in the same area.
Operation Claw-Thunderbolt along with Operation Claw-Lightning was launched against the PKK in Turkey’s bordering areas with the Kurdistan Region in April 2021.
PKK grabbed credit for the death of the soldier and guards on Tuesday.
Turkey often targets the PKK at home and inside the Kurdistan Region, considering it a "terrorist’ organziation. The group’s stated goal is to struggle for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey.
Suleyman Soylu, Ottoman Turkish interior minister, visited the family of one of the Kurdish village guards who were killed in the Monday attack.
The Ottoman Turkish government has been employing village guards in Kurdish areas since the 1980s, using them in the fight against the PKK, mostly inside Turkey.
Soylu said in 2019 that they had a total of 54,007 village guards in 26 provinces.

[IsraelTimes] Unarmed suspect approached security forces’ post, failed to heed warnings to stop, military says
An unarmed Paleostinian man who approached a military post near the West Bank city of Nablus and did not heed calls to stop was shot and injured late Tuesday night, the Israeli army said.
The individual was taken to hospital for treatment, the military said, and an investigation into the incident was underway.
The military said security forces called to the man to stop his advance toward their location and fired warning shots into the air. When he failed to heed their warnings, he was shot.
According to Hebrew-language media reports, the man was hit in the lower extremities and was taken to the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva (also known as Beilinson Hospital) in moderate condition.
Citing Paleostinian sources, Ynet reported that the man may be mentally unwell.
[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors accuse Bilal Sub Laban of working to strengthen the terror group’s influence in capital.
A Paleostinian man was indicted on Monday for allegedly establishing a kindergarten and a soup kitchen on orders from Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,, in order to strengthen the terror group’s influence in East Jerusalem, the Justice Ministry said.
According to the indictment, Bilal Sub Laban, from the East Jerusalem neighborhood Kafr Aqab, met in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... in March with a Hamas operative who instructed him to "advance Hamas activity" in the city.
He was instructed to establish a kindergarten, a soup kitchen, and a nonprofit organization used to embezzle funds for the terror group, recruit members and hand out Paleostinian flags, the indictment said.
Laban also met with Ottoman Turkish tourists on the Temple Mount in June and collected money from them for Hamas, according to the indictment.
Laban was arrested on June 28, and some $13,000 was seized. He is charged with membership in a terror organization, using funds for terror, and obstruction of justice.
Laban’s contact in Turkey, Fahad Shlodi, was deported to Turkey as a condition of his release as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner swap deal in 2011. He had been serving two life sentences in an Israeli prison for murder and attempted murder.
As part of his activities, Laban also collected a list of Hamas sympathizers in Jerusalem and brought them to Shlodi during a second visit to Turkey.
According to the indictment, Laban told his contact during the trip that he was "not interested in assisting military activities" of the terror group, and instead contributed by collecting funds and recruitment.
Police revealed on Monday that a total of nine East Jerusalem suspects were arrested in recent weeks over Hamas affiliation and attempts to recruit new members.
In March, four residents of East Jerusalem were also indicted over alleged ties to Hamas and meeting with officials of the group in Turkey, with police prosecutors charging some with having planned terrorist attacks.
