Both the RSF and SAF spreading their war into Chad 🇹🇩 will spell absolute disaster for the people of Sudan 🇸🇩. So far the Chadian government has been willing to allow refugees to enter and for humanitarian aid to cross back, if that ends it will be a catastrophe for millions.
Reuters Africa@ReutersAfrica

A cross-border drone attack from Sudan killed 17 people in Chad including mourners attending a funeral service, the Chadian government and local sources said on Thursday, and the country's president vowed to retaliate for any further attacks. reuters.com/world/africa/d…

#Belarus Several sources confirm the release of Kaciaryna Andreeva - a talented, young, brilliant journalist arrested in November 2020 while covering protests. Kacia is my friend, and every day has been so unfair and heartbreaking. Her husband, Ihar, has also been arrested.

For months Orban has basically been begging Trump to show up in Budapest for a handshake and endorsement to give Fidesz a boost in the Hungarian elections. Don't know if the same will work with Vance though

9/ For many, this isn’t about the right to drink. It’s about the right to not be subjected to state-imposed sorting, tutelage, and discipline in the name of someone else’s vision for the country’s future, especially if this “someone” is operating in the shadows.

Oscar-winning director David Borenstein: "Mr. Nobody Against Putin was about how you lose your country. What we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless small little acts of complicity. When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities. When we don't say anything when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it. We all face a moral choice. But luckily even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Just to illustrate; when visiting a festivity in Wallonia last summer PM De Wever refused to say "long live Belgium" commenting he "would not make a fool of himself" and asking others to "respect his political convictions" *which are the breakup of the country he's currently governing*

Not a smart move for a city trying to attract more tourists and expats in its post-war era. Don't get me wrong, its not like tourists (westerners in particular) need to drink wherever they go, but they simply don't like places which outright ban such things.

Damascus Governorate announces that it has banned alcoholic drinks in all shops and restaurants in the city, with the exception of licensed sellers in a couple Christian-inhabited neighborhoods

And just like last time Tina was recapture by the Joint Forces in a matter of hours. Demonsteates how challenging it is to capture and hold territory in this terrain.
Thomas van Linge@ThomasVLinge

Sudan 🇸🇩 BREAKING: RSF militants have once again seized control of the vital border town of Tina in northern Darfur, pushing out the Joint Forces who were protecting the area and its many IDPs. Last time the RSF seized the town the Joint Forces recaptured it in hours.
