Sudan army launches major attack on capital Khartoum

Sudan’s army has launched a major offensive against the powerful paramilitary group it is fighting in the country’s civil war, targeting areas in the capital it lost at the start of the conflict.

In dawn strikes on Thursday, government forces shelled Rapid Support Forces (RSF) bases in the capital Khartoum, and Bahri to its north.

Sudan has been embroiled in a war since the army and the RSF began a vicious struggle for power in April 2023, leading to what the UN has called one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.

Up to 150,000 people have been killed in the conflict while more than 10 million people – about a fifth of the population – have been forced from their homes.

Witnesses reported intense aerial bombardments and heavy fighting on Thursday as army troops crossed two key bridges over the River Nile – which had separated government-controlled areas in Omdurman from the regions controlled by the RSF.

Since early in the war, the paramilitaries have been in control of nearly all of the capital.

Thursday’s advances appear to be the government’s first significant push in months to regain some territory.

The offensive comes just before army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan is set to address the UN General Assembly in New York later on Thursday.

The UN has called for “immediate” action to protect civilians and end the fighting.

Much of the worst and most intense fighting has taken place in heavily populated regions. Both sides have accused each other of indiscriminately bombing civilian areas.

“Relentless hostilities across the country have brought misery to millions of civilians, triggering the world’s fastest-growing displacement crisis,” warned the UN on Wednesday.

It noted that half of the 10 million people who had fled their homes were children, while at least two million have sought protection in neighbouring countries.

It also called Sudan “the world’s largest hunger crisis”. There are fears of widespread famine as people have not been able to grow any crops.

There have also been warnings of a possible genocide against non-Arabs in the western region of Darfur.

A cholera epidemic is also raging throughout the country- more than 430 people have died from the easily-treatable disease in the past month, the health ministry said on Wednesday.

But getting treatment to those affected areas is hugely complicated by the conflict.

Comedian and skit maker, Ganiyu Morufu, popularly known as Ijoba Lande, has claimed he possesses over eight videos of men sleeping with his estranged wife, Dara, apart from Yoruba actor Baba Tee, who recently admitted to having an affair with her.

During an Instagram livestream interview with media personality Daddy Freeze on Monday night, Lande expressed his distress over the situation.
“I have eight videos of other men with my wife aside from Baba Tee. It’s painful. Watching how these men spanked her was heartbreaking,” he lamented.
Lande stated that since the incident, he has distanced himself from women, challenging anyone to prove they had seen him with another lady in a hotel. He described his ex-wife as promiscuous and insisted she was responsible for her actions.
He also revealed that he had been in possession of Baba Tee’s sex tape with his wife for four months and hinted at plans to release it soon.
Baba Tee had initially denied any involvement with Dara, even threatening legal action against Lande. However, he later backtracked, admitting to a brief sexual encounter with her and apologizing.
Dara, on the other hand, denied having intercourse with Baba Tee, claiming she only sat on his lap during a “Truth or Dare” game initiated by her friend, Marygold. She alleged that during the game, Marygold engaged in explicit acts with Baba Tee, while she, under the influence of alcohol, merely sat on his lap but refused to go further.

Breaking News: New Judge Steps Down from Nnamdi Kanu’s Case, Says His Arrest Was Wrong

Justice John Tsoho, the new judge assigned to Nnamdi Kanu’s case, has quit. He said Kanu was brought back to Nigeria from Kenya illegally, and because of that, he can’t judge the case without going against his own beliefs.

The judge pointed out that other judges before him had ordered Kanu’s release, but the government ignored them. “If they didn’t listen to those orders, why would they listen to mine?” he asked.

He added that Nigeria must follow its own laws and that keeping Kanu locked up without a good reason is wrong—not just for Nigeria, but for the whole world.

“I won’t ruin my name by touching this case,” Justice Tsoho said. “It’s clear what’s right, and I won’t let this mess up my reputation. People always remember justice.”

Humanity has a long memory when it comes to justice, and I will not risk staining mine with a matter so transparently flawed.”
