If you read one article today, it should be former CIA analyst Paul Pillar’s alarm bell of how the Senate wants to force the US to share sensitive intel with Israel at the expense of the US itself. “In intelligence, Israel is more of an adversary than an ally. Being an adversary in intelligence means indulging in the hostile act of espionage. Israel has a long record of conducting that type of hostile act against the United States.” responsiblestatecraft.org/us…

An alarming spike in drowning fatalities among school-aged children has prompted emergency meetings in Sudan’s Northern State. The Ministry of Education revealed that dozens of children are losing their lives in the Nile River, turning a traditional summer pastime into a localised public health crisis. The drownings are directly tethered to the collapse of local infrastructure. Large expanses of the Northern State have been without electricity for two consecutive months, plunging them into complete darkness. With summer temperatures at a scorching 45 degrees Celsius, desperate students are rushing to the Nile to find relief from the suffocating heat. #Sudan, #KeepEyesOnSudan

Breaking, dangerous and of utmost importance. We have heard from a reliable source that there is indeed a US proposal to replace/annul Jordanian custodianship over Al Aqsa/Temple Mount, corroborating a May 25 report in Mideast Eye: middleeasteye.net/news/pales…  We have been told that a document has been circulated proposing to replace Jordanian custodianship with that of a consortium of international/interfaith parties, including Muslim/Arab and Jewish representatives, and coming from Jared Kushner/Arieh Lightstone or those closely in their orbit.  We have also been informed that the proposal was circulated among regional stakeholders and has encountered fierce opposition.

🇸🇩 UAE-backed RSF fighters are using Ethiopian Airlines flights to travel to Sudan’s Blue Nile State, likely transiting through N’Djamena and Asosa Airport, according to open-source analyst Rich Tedd, who posted footage showing fighters aboard a commercial flight. Investigations and diplomatic intelligence show that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ethiopia are working together in Sudan by backing the genocidal paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This collaboration operates through covert military logistics, although both nations officially deny direct involvement in the war. Investigations by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab revealed a secret military facility built in western Ethiopia (near the Benishangul-Gumuz region) explicitly used to train thousands of RSF fighters. The facility's construction and logistical supply lines, reports showed, were funded by the UAE. Satellite analysis tracked military shipments moving from a former Emirati base through Ethiopian army bases (such as Aosa), directly supplying technical vehicles and armored personnel carriers to the RSF for offensives in Sudan's Blue Nile state. In May 2026, Sudan's government formally accused both nations of direct aggression after multiple drone strikes on Khartoum International Airport were traced back to launch sites in Ethiopia using UAE-supplied drones.
RSF fighters are continuing to use Ethiopian Airlines flights to travel to and from Sudan’s Blue Nile State 🇸🇩, likely transiting from N'Djamena 🇹🇩 to Asosa Airport 🇪🇹. This footage shows several RSF fighters on a @flyethiopian flight before later being seen in Blue Nile State.

“The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) violently interrogated me, detained me in darkness for weeks, and tried to force me to rape a male cellmate at gunpoint.” On 9 June, on behalf of twelve Sudanese victims, Legal Action Worldwide (LAW) and The African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) filed a landmark criminal complaint with Kenya’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Nairobi, Kenya. This is the first time in Kenya’s history that a complaint for war crimes is being filed under the principle of universal jurisdiction, allowing Kenyan authorities to prosecute crimes committed in another country. The victims are asking the DPP to investigate 10 members of the RSF, including some with alleged ties to Kenya, for committing these international crimes in and around Khartoum between April 2023 and March 2025.

On the anniversary of the Omani People’s Revolution, we present a rare collection of film clips captured in 1969, at the height of the revolutionary struggle. Oman was one of the Cold War’s fiercest yet most forgotten battlefields.

"آل دقلو" يتحكمون في الخرطوم ونيالا و"البرهان" حائر! – عزمي عبد الرازق مِن المؤسف القول إن "دقلو أخوان" – أو الذين يحركونهم من خلف الستار – كانوا أخبث وأذكى بكثير من الجنرال البرهان، وأكثر منه جرأة، والشاهد أن قائد الميليشيا لم يترك شيئاً للمصادفة، جهز قوته ورتب صفوفه منذ العام 2019 لـ "اختطاف" الثورة ونقلها لخدمة مشروعه الشخصي. _ضاعف قواته وعتاده مرات ومرات، وحل الأجهزة المساندة للجيش، ليتمدد فوق جثة البلاد، واشترى الولاءات بالجملة والقطاعي، من طرق صوفية وإدارات الأهلية وناشطين وساسة، وأنت تتفرج! ولكي يُقنع المجتمع الدولي بأنه "رجل دولة"، فصّل دقلو "جاكيتات" فاخرة من طراز "توم فورد" و"إرمينغيلدو زينيا"، لتناسب طموحاته السيادية وزياراته الخارجية الفارهة، وتبنى الإتفاق الإطاري دون أن يقرأ فيه حرفاً. _ لم يقف الأمر عند هذا الحد، وإنما هندس "اتفاقية سلام جوبا" بدقة، ورسم شروطها وبنودها السياسية والاقتصادية لتتحكم في مصير السودان – حتى وهو متمرد – وجعلك (أيها الجنرال) تعتقد بأنك تستمد شرعيتك الوحيدة من الحركات المسلحة، دون أن تجرؤ على إقالة أو رفض وزير أو مدير واحد يأتي بموجبها. _ تولى بنفسه إعادة هيكلة بنية السلطة، فعيّن وكلاء الوزارات والشخصيات المؤثرة في مفاصل الدولة.. والمفارقة المضحكة المبكية، أن هؤلاء "الزرادشتية الجدد" ما زالوا حتى اليوم يدعمون مشروعه بلا تردد، ويمارسون هوايتهم في تخريب ما تبقى، فيقطعون الكهرباء والمياه في الشتاء والصيف، ويحظرون السلع الضرورية، ويتسببون في إرتفاع الأسعار، ويتلاعبون بالموارد لإفشال أي خطوة للاستقرار أو العودة الطوعية، وأنت تتفرج! _والأدهى من ذلك، أن حسابات قادة الميليشيا البنكية، واستثماراتهم المليونية، وعماراتهم وتجارتهم، لا تزال تعمل وتزدهر بواجهات مختلفة داخل مناطق سيطرة الجيش! - فوق هذا وذاك، فقد أجبروك منذ اليوم الأول على اعتقال قادة النظام السابق بدعوى أنهم الخطر الوحيد عليك، ولا يزال هؤلاء – وحتى من يتعاطف معهم – رهائن المحابس إلى اليوم، دون مبرر كافي، وذلك بالرغم من أنهم يقاتلون الى جانب الجيش، ويدافعون عن البلاد، وفي المقابل، تقف أنت، حائراً، عاجزاً، تتفرج على الدولة وهي تنهار سياسياً واقتصادياً كأحجار الدومينو، لتحقق بذلك رغبة "آل دقلو" الأخيرة، بقصد أو دون قصد، الله أعلم. - دعك هنا من مخازي إخفاء تقارير المراجع العام، والتكتم المريب على حجم الفساد وسدنته، حتى هذه اللحظة، لا نجد تفسيراً واحداً لسر التحجيم الممنهج للمقاومة الشعبية، وإبعاد الرموز الحقيقية لـ 'معركة الكرامة'، بينما الميليشيا لا تزال ترتع وتحتل دارفور وأجزاء واسعة من كردفان؟ كيف تُغل الأيادي الوطنية، ومسيرات الأوباش لا تزال تحوم في السماء، والأسلحة تتدفق نهاراً جهاراً عبر مطار نيالا المستباح؟ ولذلك فإن حميدتي – أو بالأحرى الإمارات – لا تزال تتحكم في نيالا والخرطوم معاً، تحرك مناديبها هنا وهناك، وأنت تغط في نوم عميق، لا تريد أن تتحمل مسؤوليتك التاريخية، ولا تريد أن تفعل أي شيء لصالح الناس الصابرة سنين!

Child pornography, rape and other illicit videos from Sudan are being openly sold via networks on the Telegram platform. These are not hidden on the dark web but are sold and promoted out in the open. ...And these networks have only increased in number and popularity in recent months, with hundreds of pieces of content published and advertised each day. 🚨 Stay tuned for our upcoming Ayin investigation looking into these networks. #Sudan, #KeepEyesOnSudan @AfricanCentre @SavetheChildren @Sihanet

Mehdi Hasan on the Belfast attack, "As far as we know this person was here legally as someone who was approved by the then Conservative government" "He's from Sudan. Most people would agree people fleeing from Sudan are genuine refugees" "Whatever your politics we can agree there is a genocide going on in Sudan" "That doesn't excuse the horrific crime that he committed, obviously" "But the idea that we suddenly reduce this to illegal immigration" "And Elon Musk pushing this is absurd, because Musk was an immigrant to the Unites States" "His own brother claimed that they were both illegal immigrants at one point" "People exploiting this for political gain.. Making everything about immigration.. Like the murder of Henry Nowak" "The person who killed Henry Nowak was born in Britain. His father was born in Britain. But that's been made an immigration story as well"

It is not CONTROVERSIAL, AFP, it is flat out, blatant, racist.
⚽ Why is the 2026 FIFA World Cup so controversial? The World Cup kicks off on June 11 but the road to the tournament has been far from smooth. US President Donald Trump has caused concerns for fans with his immigration crack-downs while high ticket prices have angered fans.
