The United Nations on Monday accused Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces of blocking aid to the war-torn country’s famine-threatened Darfur region.

Army head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, addressing army-aligned politicians, emphasized that the new government will be essential for completing military objectives and eradicating rebel forces. He confirmed that no ceasefire would be considered unless the RSF halts its campaign in Darfur.

La visite du ministre britannique des Affaires étrangères, David Lamy, en Tunisie dernièrement a suscité un large débat parmi les Tunisiens sur son contenu et son contexte, d’autant plus qu’il a annoncé un paquet d’aides pour améliorer l’emploi des Tunisiens. Cette visite fait suite à une série de visites de dirigeants européens, dans le contexte de pressions supplémentaires sur la Tunisie pour qu’elle accepte des concessions sur la question des migrants en situation irrégulière. L’objectif affiché est d’aider la Tunisie à mettre en œuvre un programme de retour volontaire des migrants dans leur pays d’origine, mais certains observateurs craignent que cette aide n’ait un autre objectif : installer les migrants et faire de la Tunisie un gardien des frontières européennes.

The attack claimed the lives of 28 soldiers, injured dozens more and sent shockwaves through a region long considered a fragile but reliable buffer against the violence of the nearby Sahel.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
All thanks and praise are due to Allah, from Whom we seek help and forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and the evil consequences of our deeds. Whoever Allah guides will never be misled and whoever strays from Him will never find a guide. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah. Likewise, I bear witness that Muhammad is the servant and the Messenger of Allah.
