Au Mali, l’armée prend position dans Kidal

L’état-major malien a affirmé que ses soldats ont « pris position » mardi 14 novembre dans ce bastion de la rébellion dominante touarègue.

Le 14 novembre, l’armée malienne a dit avoir pris position dans Kidal, bastion des séparatistes et enjeu majeur de souveraineté pour l’État malien. « Les FAMa (forces armées maliennes) ont pris position dans la ville de Kidal ce mardi », a dit l’état-major sur les réseaux sociaux. « Aujourd’hui, nos forces armées et de sécurité se sont emparées de Kidal », a déclaré le colonel Assimi Goïta dans un message lu au cours d’un flash spécial à la télévision d’État.

With Nothing To Eat, Nigeria’s IDPs Settle For The Leftover Of Those Who Terrorised Them

The abundance at a camp for former Boko Haram members contrasts sharply with the extreme poverty and hunger widespread among internally displaced people in North East Nigeria.

After over a decade of waging war in the name of religion, Abubakar* has (apparently) dropped his gun and thirst for blood. He joined the terror group Boko Haram as a teenager and has known only violence his adult life, but now he wishes to settle for a quiet life of trading with his wife and child. He is shocked by how well the Nigerian authorities have treated him, he says. At the transit rehabilitation centre known as Hajj Camp in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, he gets a roof over his head, a mattress to lay on at night, a monthly cash allowance, and enough foodstuff for him and his family. The food supply is so generous that sometimes when they cook, they eat to their fill and leave remains. They then gather the leftovers, spread them in the sun to dry, and a day or two later sell them to someone who collects similar items from other former terrorists at the camp. Abubakar imagines that this material ends up with a farmer who will feed it to his livestock to fatten them.

NOT CONTENT WITH HARMING ISRAEL, THE HOUTHIS LOCK HORNS WITH THE UAE AND THE SAUDIS

While the southern port city of Eilat has largely been quiet since the beginning of the war, being 175 miles away from the Gaza strip, events in recent days seemed to have disturbed the serene and laid back nature of Israel’s most prominent vacation spot, courtesy of none other than Yemen’s Islamist political and armed organization that emerged from the Yemeni governorate of Saada in the 1990s, called Ansar Allah, also knows as the Houthis.

Tchad: les coups durs se multiplient pour les rebelles du Fact

Le Front pour l’alternance et la concorde au Tchad (Fact), l’une des principales rébellions tchadiennes qui a refusé de se signer l’Accord de paix de Doha d’août 2022 entre le gouvernement de transition et les mouvements politico-militaires, traverse une passe difficile depuis un peu plus d’un mois. Soumis à la pression militaire de la Libye et du pouvoir tchadien de transition, il a été obligé de quitter depuis quelques semaines son fief dans le sud-libyen qui lui servait depuis près de 10 ans de base arrière pour ses attaques au Tchad.

Should the U.S. Send Naval Hospital Ships to Treat Palestinian Children?

Michael Rose, an assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, calls for the U.S. to deploy one or both U.S. Navy hospital ships to the coast of Gaza to treat Palestinian children ages 15 and under. I always welcome any attempt at a constructive solution, and this proposal would likely do some good — helping save lives among the indisputably genuinely innocent Palestinians, with certain precautions in place to ensure Hamas doesn’t attempt to get care for its injured combatants.

Lebanese Daily: Hundreds Of Hizbullah-Allied Amal Movement Operatives Deployed On Lebanon-Israel Border, Carrying Out Attacks On Israel

On November 11, 2023, Lebanon’s Shi’ite Amal Movement announced that one of its operatives, ‘Ali Jamil Al-Hajj Dawoud, had been targeted in an act of “direct aggression by the oppressive Israeli enemy” in the Rab El Thalathine village of southern Lebanon, leading to his “martyrdom” and the injury of two other “mujahideen.” The announcement stated that Dawoud was born in 1988 in the village of Mlikh, Jezzine district.[1]

Turkey-Hamas Relations From 2004 To Today – $300 Million, A Hamas Center In Istanbul For Cyberattacks And Counterintelligence, And Many Treasury Department-Designated Nationals

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s close relations with Hamas, the public record of which goes back nearly 20 years, appear to have been largely unaffected by Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. While there are rumors that Isma’il Haniyeh, who has since 2017 been chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau, was in Istanbul on October 7, and reports that Erdoğan thereafter asked him and the rest of Hamas to leave Turkey, the veracity of these claims remains unclear.

For Hezbollah, Timing Is the Essence

The party may escalate on the southern border with Israel, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will reach the level of bombing cities.

The speech last week of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah left many in Lebanon and beyond relieved, as he defended his organization’s limited engagement in the Gaza war and called the Lebanese front against Israel a “solidarity and support” front. Nasrallah did so mostly to underline the party’s secondary role in the conflict, in which Palestinian fighters are taking the lead.
