"Habib Harikat’s 145th Group (probably the last Elite force left within the RSF) unexpectedly partially deployed to West Kordufan today under the command of Harikat’s younger brother Ali. The majority of the 145 Group that participated in battles today were killed with unconfirmed reports that Ali Harikat (pictured below) also perished. This is calamitous for the RSF as they have few forces experienced in co-ordinating and participating in large scale Toyota technical battles left. This deployment of a high value elite force in to Kordufan signals desperation." another UAE proxy gangster bites the dust...

Local sources say the attackers also looted the church and burned nearby homes. Residents reported that security forces had not arrived two days after the attack." just one of many by the shifta/bandits unleashed by the UAE proxy Abiy gangster regime againt his "own people".

"Sudanese Army sources say a mobile convoy of the Rapid Support Forces elite units, led by Major General Madawi Hussein, was destroyed on the plains of West Kordofan on Sunday night. The force had been held up by RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo “Hemedti” as one of his best" UAE henchmen are taking serious hits in Sudan, how much longer before they cut and run...to Chad?

Straight from the mouth of Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov "Trump, like many other Presidents before him, is incapable of reining in the CIA, which has directly disobeyed his orders for de-escalation, and instead has pursued its own policy of continuing the proxy war and ignoring the President." who knows what the CIA is doing in the Horn of Africa these days. Back in the early days of this century I wrote about the covert support by the CIA for Meles Zenawi via Gayle Smith,his handler

"Reports that the Army has just entered Eiyal Bakhit in West Kordufan. This is highly significant because the RSF attempted to setup a last ditch defensive line here to prevent the Army from reaching the Stragic towns of Umm Badr and Hamrat Al Shiekh which are close to the State border between North Kordofan and Darfur." big deal this...

US Senator Elect Abdul El Sayed has been on the George Soros payroll..for ever? He went to university on the pad, and has been on it ever since. Obama was a Soros-ite from early on but not like El Sayed from his teenage days? dont expect much...other than some disgusting betrayals

Just listened to Ann Garrison "interview" Daniel Teklai of the Tsimdo coalition and ended up mainly having to listen to Ms. Garrison. She is really "saada", white, doing all the talking with someone who knows a whole lot more about Eritrea than she does. White liberals can be really...annoying?

ETHIOPIA ― This video circulating on social media evokes disturbing memories of the early days of the Rwandan genocide. Thousands of ethnic Amhara were seen displaced from #Welega in search of safety, having lost faith in the government’s ability to protect them. Tragically, hundreds have reportedly been killed in Arsi Zone because of their ethnic identity and, in particular, their Orthodox Christian faith.

"Members of the Sudanese, Somali, Ethiopian, and Eritrean communities are mobilizing for a significant demonstration set to take place in Geneva on November 13, 2026. This large-scale event is designed to voice strong opposition to Col. Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia and the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), holding them accountable for the deaths of thousands of individuals in both Sudan and Ethiopia." damn, wish we could be there, ten years since I was in a demo in Geneva!

"Demonstration was held at EU headquarters, organized by Somali community and joined by Amhara, Tigray, Benishangul, and Eritrean communities. Protesters condemned Oromo-led Ethiopian government's territorial expansion and escalating conflicts in Moyale and northern Ethiopia." beginnings of a real Pan-Horn of Africa unity!

Reports that Russian Ambassador to Ethiopia is good buddies with PM Abiy and has been passing back lies to Lavrov and Putin. Eritrean Pres. Issias had to set Putin straight in meeting, came as a shock to Putin. Explains a lot of the really messed up support Russia has been giving UAE proxy Abiy, glad to know it was a betrayal not stupidity by Russian leaders.

"Brigadier General Haroun Mersal, a senior commander of the Joint Force allied with the Sudanese army, has been killed amid renewed clashes with the RSF in the Kordofan region." General getting kilt is a sign the fighting is getting down and dirty, all hands on deck!

"The Amhara Fano forces, part of the AFS rebel coalition, reportedly overran fortified ENDF positions in Wuchale after fierce clashes, inflicting significant casualties on government troops. At least 120 ENDF soldiers were reportedly killed, 160 wounded, and 37 captured, despite sustained aerial strikes involving drones and fighter jets."
