Sudan rejects Western proposal to investigate war violations
[SUDANTRIBUNE] 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 Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday rejected a draft resolution to form an international committee investigating war violations presented by Britannia and other European countries to the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
Human Rights Council.

The ministry "rejects the draft resolution because it is based on a distorted view of the situation in Sudan and is prejudiced against the army." It also said that the resolution was presented despite the opposition of the Arab and African groups and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

The ministry further stated that the resolution did not consider the Sudanese priorities of ending the rebellion, stopping atrocities, and facilitating the arrival of humanitarian aid.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been accused of serious war crimes, including murder, detention, torture, occupation of civilian homes and property, and conflict-related sexual violence. The Sudanese army has also been accused of deliberately launching air strikes on civilian targets, resulting in the deaths of dozens of civilians.

The ministry described the draft resolution as "lacking objectivity" because it equated the army with the RSF, even though Sudan is facing a war launched by a "militia that has recruited mercenaries" from some countries in the region.

The ministry said that Sudan is committed to protecting and promoting human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
and has formed a committee headed by the attorney general to investigate violations by the RSF.

A fierce war broke out between the army and the RSF on April 15, 2023. According to the United Nations, the conflict has led to the destruction of infrastructure, the displacement of 5.4 million people, and a 42% decline in the economy.

Africa North
Mali: Army claims to be close to Kidal, rebel stronghold
[AFRICANEWS] The Malian army indicated Thursday evening that a large convoy of its forces had progressed to the surroundings of Anéfis, a stopover towards the strategic town of Kidal, stronghold of the Tuareg separatist rebellion which has taken up arms again against the central state.

A big shot of the rebellion assured that the army had not reached Anefis, but was surrounded 11 km away.

The column broke a defensive curtain made up of trenches 10 km south of Anefis, the army said on social networks. She claimed to have destroyed several pick-ups and to have inflicted "very significant" losses on her adversaries.

"I deny the entry of the FAMA (Malian Armed Forces)/Wagner convoy to Anéfis. They are rather surrounded 11 km away," said on social networks, Attaye Ag Mohammed, a head of the Coordination of Movements of the 'Azawad (CMA), an alliance of predominantly Tuareg gangs.

After rising up against the central state in 2012, these groups signed a peace agreement with it in 2015 but have just resumed hostilities in August.

A Malian army convoy made up of dozens of vehicles and armoured vehicles left Gao on Monday towards Kidal. It has been under attack ever since.

The column of vehicles advances slowly and fuels speculation about its destination and objectives. An offensive on the rebel bases in the Kidal region could be a turning point after a decade of conflict, as attacks by separatist groups and jihadists from the Support Group for Islam and Moslems (GSIM), affiliated with Al -Qaeda, are increasing against the Malian army camps in the north and centre of the country.

Groups affiliated with 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....
organization also continue to operate, mainly in the east. The Tuareg rebellion claimed earlier Thursday to have stopped the advance of the convoy and to have shot down an army plane in Tabankort, south of Anéfis.

The assertions of all the protagonists are difficult to verify in these remote areas. Access to independent sources in the context of hostilities and military rule is complicated.

Anéfis is located approximately 110 km south of Kidal.

The Grand Turk
Media: Turkish drones destroy PKK targets in Syria
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Drones of Turkey's national intelligence organization (MİT) conducted aerial reconnaissance in Syria and destroyed targets and facilities of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) banned by Ankara. This was reported on October 5 by CNN Turk.

“An air operation using drones was organized in Syria. “Many objects and ammunition under the control of the terrorist organization PKK were destroyed,” the statement said.

As Regnum reported, on October 1, an explosion occurred near the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Turkish Parliament in the center of Ankara. The CNN Turk television channel clarified that there were casualties as a result of the explosion.

Later that same day, Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said that two terrorists carried out a terrorist attack near the Interior Ministry building in Ankara. One was neutralized.

The PKK, banned in Turkey, on the evening of October 1, claimed responsibility for an attempted terrorist attack in the center of Ankara. Yerlikaya announced on October 3 that Turkey had launched a large-scale anti-terrorist operation codenamed “Heroes.” During the day, law enforcement officers detained more than 110 suspects of involvement in the PKK, banned by Ankara.

Netanyahu tells Israel 'We are at war' after Hamas militants launch surprise attack, at least 22 people dead
[NY Post] The ruling Hamas militant group in the Gaza Strip carried out an unprecedented, multi-front attack on Israel at daybreak Saturday, firing thousands of rockets as dozens of Hamas fighters infiltrated the heavily fortified border in several locations by air, land and sea and catching the country off-guard on a major holiday, killing at least 22 people.

Six hours after the invasion began, Hamas militants were still fighting gunbattles inside several Israeli communities in a surprising show of strength that shook the country.

Social media was replete with videos of Hamas fighters parading what appeared to be stolen Israeli military vehicles through the streets and at least one dead Israeli soldier within Gaza being dragged and trampled by an angry crowd of Palestinians shouting "God is Great."

The military declined to give details about casualties or kidnappings as it continued to battle the infiltrators.

"We are at war," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised address, declaring a mass mobilization of the country’s army reserves. "Not an ’operation,’ not a ’round,’ but at war."

"The enemy will pay an unprecedented price," he added, promising that Israel would "return fire of a magnitude that the enemy has not known."

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip infiltrated Saturday into southern Israel and fired thousands of rockets into the country while Israel began striking targets in Gaza in response.

The serious invasion on Simchat Torah, a normally joyous day when Jews complete the annual cycle of reading the Torah scroll, revived painful memories of the 1973 Mideast war practically 50 years to the day, in which Israel’s enemies launched a surprise attack on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

Comparisons to one of the most traumatic moments in Israeli history sharpened criticism of Netanyahu and his far-right allies, who had campaigned on more aggressive action against threats from Gaza.

Political commentators lambasted the government over its failure to anticipate what appeared to be a Hamas attack unseen in its level of planning and coordination.

REMINDER 🚨: If you're wondering why Joe Biden's administration took forever to say something about the Iranian-funded Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel today, look no further than who Joe Biden appointed as the Senior Director for Intelligence at the National Security Council in 2021, within two weeks of being inaugurated.

Biden appointed Maher Bitar as Senior Director for Intelligence at the National Security Council.

As I reported in 2021, Bitar has a long history of terror associations, dating back to his time in college at Georgetown where he was on the executive board of the school's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, which has documented ties to Islamic terrorist organizations including Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)."

Of course, Islamic terrorists feel empowered to attack Israel. Joe Biden just gave Iran 6 billion dollars, and his administration is full of jihadis like Bitar. Our entire national security is at risk because Hamas and Hezbollah sympathizers like Bitar are currently directing our intelligence within our National Security apparatus. "

IDF declares 'ready for war,' after rockets slam Israel, killing one
[Jpost] A barrage of rockets slammed into southern and central Israel Saturday morning, including at least one rocket that directly hit a building in the Gederot Regional Council, killing a woman in her 60s, according to Magen David Adom.
That's what happens if you don't bomb the sh@t out of Gaza in summer
...As of 8 a.m. on Saturday morning, Magen David Adom (MDA) said it had thus far treated 16 people throughout the country, including two who were in critical condition, six in moderate condition and seven with minor injuries.

...Rockets fell into multiple cities and communities, the IDF said. This included Tel Aviv, where initial reports by Israeli media said there was a direct hit to a home. Moreover, a direct hit was reported on a building in Ashkelon. Dozens of vehicles also caught fire in the city.

...In addition to the rocket fire, terrorists attempted to infiltrate into southern Israel.

#27  Israeli's indescrimate killings of Palestinians over the years has always largely been seen as business as usual especially in the the rabidly Jew infested American media. Palestinians pleas for international help and support to stop this criminal Jewish state from encroachment and destruction of Palestinian houses and lives has usually been meeting with little or no response at all. At the last UN meeting few leaders listened to the grievance of PLA. But now that the Palestinian has decided to give Israel a dose of their medicine, suddenly it has become a media sensational. The death of Israel soldiers and civilians alike has shocked the west, but they are not shocked by the death of Palestinians by the hands of this dirty bunch of fake Semitic Jews from Eastern Europe
How many lives does US and other major powers wants before the entire world start to radicalized against Jews and Judaism?

#35  Hamas has reportedly captured Brigadier General Nimrod Aloni. Aloni stepped aside as the commanding officer of the Gaza Division in August 2022. Now is currently the commander of the “Depth Corps”, a strategic force whose mission is to use Israeli special forces to operate in the depth of an enemy. It seems Hamas has turned the table on Israel, and is now operating in Israel’s strategic depth. This operation is extraordinarily well planned and executed. Any notion that Israel will be able to contain this attack soon is misplaced. Israel did not anticipate anything of this scope and scale. It is a massive intelligence failure for Israel, and an equally impressive operational success for Hamas.
... This is likely to escalate. It is impossible to predict when or how this will end.
Come November 17, the Israelis might suddenly find they've run out of ammunition and missiles to hit the Palestinians with.
It's not only the Ukrainians who have reason to fear what happens after mid-November.

#46  Israeli's indescrimate killings of Palestinians

Having watch them for years, they have done the same thing Americans have been doing in trying to avoid inflecting unnecessary civilian casualties unlike the barbarians unleashed today. We still haven't learned the lessons from WW2 that you stop doing that, you conduct war the manner they to, and make the population understand the full consequences of their behavior. Oh, and that wasn't an Israeli girl they desecrated but a German attending a 'peace' rally.

#49  Frank fuck you! I’m sick and tired of the lying Jews pushing fake history to the American people, fuck you! And fuck the business for profit holocaust scam … 6 millions… fuck you bastard, for shilling for a minuscule group of criminal people that is overwhelmingly in charge of the brainwashing of the American society , using their absolute control of the media, for the sole scope of protecting the interests of Jew entities and Jew businesses against anyone else. The state of Isreal has always had its own agenda. They have kept the conflict on the boil for decades. Simply because it suits Isreal to live as a military state, with the USA being a superpower this little country controls, the USA public have been mobilised to support apartheid over the past sixty years.
The Palestinian conflict could have been resolved by paying compensation from the billions of US aid given to Isreal, to the Palestinians in exchange for stolen land.
However the US arms industry would rather have it this way, and the conflict, a cash cow will continue.
There are righteous Jews who have been with the righteous Palestinians who do not want this conflict. But there are too many powerful vested interests that greatly benefit from the status quo.

Lebanon: Four Casualties so Far in Zahle Prison Fire
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Four victims were reported so far as a result of the Zahle prison fire, NNA Correspondent reported on Friday.

Civil defense personnel use hydraulic shearing machines to rescue the injured.

Heavy army and security forces’ deployment have been registered around the prison building. Civil Defense and Red Thingy members worked to transfer the injured to al-Muallaqa Governmental Hospital in Zahle.

Caretaker Minister of Interior and Municipalities, Judge Bassam Mawlawi, continued to follow up this afternoon on the Zahle Prison situation, after a number of prisoners set fire inside the prison premises which spread to the building’s upper floors.

To this end, Mawlawi contacted Army Commander, General Joseph Aoun, asking for support in protecting the prison’s surroundings. He also contacted Civil Defense Director General, Brigadier General Raymond Khattar, calling for reinforcement to the civil defense units that are working to extinguish the fire and evacuate prisoners from inside the rooms.

Mawlawi also received a call from the Internal Security Director General, Major General Imad Othman, who kept him updated on the latest developments inside the prison.

Meanwhile,
...back at the laboratory, Igor and Oleg were discussing what the quickest way might be to deal with the monster...
the Interior Minister commissioned the Bekaa Governor, Judge Kamal Abu Jaoude, to follow up on field procedures and on-ground developments, especially in terms of evacuating prisoners and treating the injured.
