Protestors have begun operation “Block Everything,” a movement designed to shut the government down. They are protesting President Macron’s “austerity policies,’ which are policies that generally take social programs and worker “rights” away from its citizens. This is a leftist, pro-socialist movement.

As protests grow, the parliament has moved to remove short-lived Prime Minister François Bayrou from office

Protesters blocked roads, set blazes and were met with volleys of police tear gas Wednesday in Paris and elsewhere in France, seeking to heap pressure on President Emmanuel Macron by attempting to give his new prime minister a baptism of fire.

The interior minister announced nearly 200 arrests in the first hours of the planned day of nationwide protests.

Although falling short of its self-declared intention to “Block Everything,” the protest movement that started online and gathered steam over the summer caused widespread disruptions, defying an exceptional deployment of 80,000 police who broke up barricades and swiftly made arrests.

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said a bus was set on fire in the western city of Rennes and that damage to a power line blocked trains on a line in the southwest. He alleged that protesters were attempting to create “a climate of insurrection.”

France’s new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu was to take office on Wednesday facing a day of protests disrupting transport, education and other services in a show of grassroots anger against President Emmanuel Macron.

The protests, led by a loose left-wing collective called “Block Everything”, are a baptism of fire for Lecornu, 39, a close ally of Macron who has served the last three years as defence minister.

Demonstrators gathered across the country from the early hours, with 80,000 police deployed to keep the peace.

Groups of demonstrators, many masked, built barricades with dumpsters and pelted police with rubbish on the outskirts of Paris, according to AFP journalists.

In the southeastern city of Lyon, protesters blocked a highway running through the city and set bins on fire, while in the western city of Nantes police used teargas to disperse protesters.

DOJ weighs firearm ban for transgenders after Minneapolis shooting– www.theblaze.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

 

In the aftermath of the tragic Minneapolis shooting — where two young lives were lost to a violent gunman — Trump’s Department of Justice is considering taking action to stop guns from getting in the hands of transgenders.

The move is being celebrated by conservatives, as the shooter, Robin Westman, was a 23-year-old man who identified as a woman.

One potential avenue could see Trump formally declare that those who identify as transgender are mentally ill and no longer legally allowed to possess firearms.

“Under Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, this Department of Justice is actively considering a range of options to prevent mentally unstable individuals from committing acts of violence, especially at schools,” a spokesman for the DOJ said.

However, while many conservatives believe that transgenderism is a mental illness — they’re not sure that broadly banning guns for any group of people is the right move.

“I read that headline and my knee-jerk reaction is like, good, they shouldn’t have guns. And then I’m like, ah, I don’t know how you do that with the Second Amendment,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“I think everyone would agree you don’t want violent, mentally ill people to have firearms,” BlazeTV contributor Grant Stinchfield chimes in. “So we can all agree on that. The problem becomes ‘Who is the decider?’”

“So who decides who’s violently and mentally ill? Because I promise you, Nancy Pelosi is going to say, ‘Well, Stinchfield’s mentally ill because he loves freedom and God and all those things.’ So it’s all in the decider,” he continues.

“Now, transgender certainly … it’s a violent, violent section, mentally ill people, and it is a mental illness. If you think you’re a boy and you don’t have nuts hanging down below you, you’re mentally ill,” he adds.

Gonzales notes that while not all shooters are transgender, transgenders make up such a small percentage of the population and have committed several of the devastating mass shootings in recent years.

“It’s pretty skewed when you look at that,” she says, adding, “And so it’s just hard because you want to prevent this from happening.”

Holy Trinity Catholic Church | Okarche, OKThe Philadelphia Federal District Court awarded Pennsylvania and New Jersey a judgment in defiance of a Supreme Court ruling that protected a catholic charity from being forces to pay for the murder of unborn children. The organization, Little Sisters of the Poor, has vowed to appealed the overtly unconstitutional and immoral decision.

Mark Rienzi, president of Becket and lead attorney for the Little Sisters, said of the ungodly and un-American ruling, “The district court blessed an out-of-control effort by Pennsylvania and New Jersey to attack the Little Sisters and religious liberty. It’s bad enough that the district court issued a nationwide ruling invalidating federal religious conscience rules. But even worse is that the district court simply ducked the glaring constitutional issues in this case, after waiting five years and not even holding a hearing. It is absurd to think the Little Sisters might need yet another trip to the Supreme Court to end what has now been more than a dozen years of litigation over the same issue. We will fight as far as we need to fight to protect the Little Sisters’ right to care for the elderly in peace.”

Excerpt:

The Trump administration is accusing the United Kingdom of a number of human rights abuses in a negative human rights “report card” for the birthplace of the Magna Carta and the modern parliamentary system.

In its annual “Human Rights Report” for 2024 released on Monday, the U.S. State Department lists “specific areas of concern” in the U.K.

“The human rights situation worsened in the United Kingdom during the year,” the report begins. “Significant human rights issues included credible reports of serious restrictions on freedom of expression, including enforcement of or threat of criminal or civil laws in order to limit expression; and crimes, violence, or threats of violence motivated by antisemitism.”

 

The UK is overrun with Muslims that hate them, and their government is directly to blame. The United Kingdom has fallen, and chances of its recovery dim every day the people continue to accept the increasingly Islamist-based tyranny placed on them. In one year alone, their own government has imported 0ver 700,000 violent Islamist extremist males of fighting age, an Islamist army, with the hope of exterminating the English race.

Starmer’s recent support of Hamas being granted an internationally recognized state shows where the allegiance is in the left, with the Islamists. Even as we speak Starmer is working to pass more online restrictions on speech to protect Allah and his pedophilic followers from being rightly called evil in public and the police have announced plans to double down on arresting those who dare offend Allah online.

While protests have only increased, especially around hotels now filled with violent Islamists on the British taxpayer’s dime, they have no coalesced around a recognition that their own government is a violent threat to the English race itself, something they have in common with “American” leftists, who hope to see the white race as a whole disappear, by any means necessary, for the good of the whole.

Seehafer condemns flag burning | The American Legion

President Donald Trump signed an executive order that essentially calls on the Attorney General to more aggressively pursue “flag burning” cases that cross over from a 1st Amendment expression to inciting “lawless action. The key claim in his EO is this; “The Supreme Court has never held that flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or serve as a form of “fighting words” is constitutionally protected.”

Shortly after the order, Jay Carey, a self-described 20-year veteran, burned the U.S. flag outside the White House in defiance of the order. He was soon arrested. He claimed, “I fought for every single one of your rights to express yourself in however you feel that you may want to express yourself. It is a First Amendment right to burn the American flag. I’m burning this flag as a protest to that illegal fascist president that sits in that house. We burn this flag in protest to that president who feels that it’s his right to do whatever he wants, make whatever law he wants, regardless if it’s legal or illegal.”

Now, every state that can is scrambling to serve its party and find new House seats through “innovative” mapping.

Democrats are scrambling to respond to Texas’s bold mid-decade redistricting push, but the reality is clear: they are poised to lose badly.

A partisan move by Texas to redraw its congressional maps in the middle of the decade to secure five more GOP seats in the U.S. House set off a clamor to replicate the effort in red and blue states.

Texas Republicans, backed by President Trump, kicked off the effort to lock in control of the House. Democrats staged their usual walkout stunt, but Gov. Greg Abbott made clear Republicans would not back down.

Past efforts by Democrats to abscond and deny Republicans a quorum similarly only delayed the passage of bills, but didn’t quash them. And Gov. Gregg Abbott vowed to keep calling the Legislature back until enough lawmakers are present to pass the redistricting proposal.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom tried to flex in retaliation, announcing his state would redraw maps to add Democrats. But unlike Texas, California faces a maze of restrictions, including its so-called independent commission and voter approval requirements. That means Newsom’s threat is more bark than bite.

Meanwhile, red states are moving fast. Missouri is on top of that movement.

A document obtained by The Associated Press shows the state Senate has received a $46,000 invoice for software licenses and staff training for redistricting.

While Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe hasn’t officially announced a special session, Republican House Majority Leader Alex Riley told the AP it is “pretty likely” to happen. Riley added that he has had discussions with White House staff about it.

The redistricting war is officially on.

After weeks of bluster from dueling governors and state lawmakers, California and Texas raced forward with parallel action this week to draw new congressional maps, setting into motion a national redistricting fight that could upend the midterms and determine control of the House.

Texas Republicans on Saturday passed a new map that will help the GOP flip as many as five House seats — a partisan play at the hand of President Donald Trump. On Thursday, California Democratic lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom preemptively agreed to send a retaliatory ballot measure to voters — the first step in potentially offsetting Texas’ maneuver by creating new Democratic-leaning seats.

U.S. Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) is doubling down on his calls to axe Republican-led redistricting efforts after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a plan to draw out five Republican-controlled districts in his state, which is already among the most gerrymandered in the nation. Rep. Kiley’s seat is in danger of being drawn out if Newsom’s plan succeeds.

Earlier this month, the California lawmaker introduced a bill that, if passed, would prevent states from redrawing their respective congressional maps before the 2030 census. The bill was introduced as Texas Republicans moved forward with a plan that would create five additional districts that Trump won by 10 or more points last year.

A number of additional Republican-controlled states, including Missouri, Ohio, in addition to potential plans from Indiana and Florida, are considering redistricting themselves. Republicans have argued that the move is necessary due to extreme gerrymanders in Democrat-controlled states like California, Illinois and Maryland.

As if Republicans didn’t have enough problems trying to hold on to the House majority, along comes Utah to give them a whole new problem.

Republicans once again tried to ignore the will of the people and the state’s constitution, and the matter went to court.

The court determined that the Utah state legislature violated the people’s right to alter or reform their government when they repealed Proposition 4, or Prop 4 – a ballot initiative that aimed to prohibit partisan gerrymandering by establishing the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission and creating fair, neutral criteria and procedures for adopting district maps.

Prop 4, which was passed by Utah voters and unconstitutionally repealed by the legislature, is now the law again. The current gerrymandered congressional map passed by the legislature may not be used in future elections. The Utah state legislature now has a chance to pass a new, fair map that complies with Prop 4, and if it does not, the court will order a new map, which will be used for the 2026 election.

The French public have overwhelmingly opposed plans to rescue the Government’s finances by abolishing two national holidays. Prime Minister François Bayrou proposed the sacrifice of France‘s Easter Monday and May 8 holidays as part of a wider effort to restore public finances. The official suggested that forcing citizens to work on the two days, of the 11 holidays observed by the French public every year, could save €4.2 billion and contribute to wider savings of €44 billion he hopes to achieve in the 2026 Budget.

However, polling carried out by Odoxa and published in Le Parisien this week shows a stark contrast in public opinion, with 84% overwhelmingly opposed to the proposals. They were almost equally against the abolition of just one holiday, with 83% expressing similar hostility to the idea. “The French don’t want it,” Gaël Sliman, president of Odoxa said. “They value their work-life balance, and this measure is seen as an act of violence and a prejudice.”

The study, based on 1,004 people representative of the French population over 18, also found that 80% considered the abolition of public holidays to be a “disguised tax” and 66% did “not see the link between working more and improving France’s debts and deficits”.

Likely French government collapse raises stakes of planned national shutdown – Politico

Excerpt:

A major test looms for France following the likely collapse of French Prime Minister François Bayrou’s government on Sept. 8.

Increasing numbers of people appear to be heeding the calls of a murky, leaderless crusade for a national shutdown on Sept. 10. The movement, initially made up of a constellation of anonymous anti-government accounts of varying political affiliations, began earlier this summer, reaching the general public as anger grew over Bayrou’s plans to lop €43.8 billion from the 2026 budget and slash two bank holidays without offering wage compensation.

Bayrou is expected to lose his job after announcing on Monday that he would convene lawmakers for an extraordinary session to hold a high-stakes confidence vote on Sept. 8 over his unpopular spending plans. Barring a major shift, France’s minority government is unlikely to survive the vote.

 

Developing world is awash in pesticides - does it have to be?

Chinese gangs are allegedly running illegal marijuana farms in Northern California through which they are smuggling in dangerous pesticides that threaten the flora and fauna of the region, including humans themselves. The intent behind it seems two-fold, to efficiently grow their cash crops and ruin the American ecosystem. Operations have also been reported in Maine, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

Lt. John Nores Jr. of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said, “These criminal organizations use such a  deadly, potent, toxic chemical because it absolutely keeps everything off their cash crop.”

Chinese criminal organizations have infiltrated California’s black-market marijuana industry, smuggling toxic pesticides that authorities warn could cause decades of environmental damage, NewsNation reported Sunday.

The illegal pesticides are killing wildlife and destroying ecosystems across northern California, where Chinese cartels operate large-scale marijuana growing operations using trafficked migrant workers, authorities told NewsNation.

“A lot of the chemicals that are being used are hazardous to humans,” Matt Kendall, Mendocino County Sheriff, stated.

Kendall confirmed authorities have identified a pattern of Chinese cartels controlling these operations and potentially using violence to protect their enterprises, the outlet reported. The criminal organizations allegedly rely on migrant workers trafficked into the United States specifically to cultivate black-market marijuana.

The Pandemic's Next Chapter? | Harvard Medical SchoolGlobal pandemic “experts” from the U.S to the UK to China are all raising red flags over the recent doubling of “vector-borne” diseases in one year alone. One particular threat is the Chukungunya virus, which has increased 170% in the UK in the last year. The plandemic leaders may be preparing the ground for the latest assault or the forced mass migration of peoples around the world is causing viral mutations, leading to more “outbreaks.”

Excerpt:

Dozens of cases of a potentially debilitating vector-borne disease have been identified in the United Kingdom this year, the BBC reports, almost twice as many as last year.

What’s happening?

On the surface, this uptick in cases of chikungunya virus might not appear to be concerning in scale.

In all, 73 people in the U.K. contracted chikungunya, up from 27 in the same span of time in 2024 — a 170% increase in cases.

Chikungunya is a vector-borne illness, infecting humans through mosquito bites. Although it’s rarely fatal, chikungunya’s symptoms are not unlike dengue fever and Zika, including joint swelling, rashes, and fatigue.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), outbreaks tend to emerge in tropical or subtropical regions, and chikungunya cannot spread from person to person. In the U.K., the cases diagnosed in 2025 were all associated with trips abroad.

John Bolton - Wikipedia

The Former NSA director, John Bolton, is under FBI investigation for leaking classified information. The FBI raided his home looking for files connected to the investigation. According to U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, Bolton “likely published classified materials… (that) exposed his country to harm.” The leak is connected to a book he wrote, but insiders claim the investigation goes far beyond the book.

Excerpt:

Last week’s FBI raid targeting former National Security Adviser John Bolton reaches beyond alleged mishandling of classified documents in relation to a book he published in 2020, according to a report from Fox News citing a Trump Administration source. The report has fueled speculation that the former Trump official could face criminal charges.

Legal experts have long speculated that Bolton could face legal troubles due to his 2020 book “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” in which he trashed his former boss extensively. A lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleged that Bolton breached nondisclosure agreements by publishing the book without completing the required prepublication review process to ensure it contained no classified information.

The government sought to block the book’s release, seize Bolton’s $2 million advance, and prevent further distribution. The suit came after Bolton submitted the manuscript for review in December 2019, but proceeded to publication in June 2020 despite ongoing White House scrutiny

On June 20, 2020, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth found that Bolton “likely published classified materials” and had “exposed his country to harm.” The judge ultimately blocked the government’s request for an injunction to block publication, however.

Excerpt:

New details have emerged surrounding the investigation into former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who may have allowed a foreign government to gain access to classified intelligence when publishing a memoir in 2020, according to a bombshell report from the New York Times.

Despite constant allegations from Democrats and mainstream media pundits of political targeting on the part of the Trump Administration, The Times reported that the current investigation into Bolton “began to pick up steam” during the Biden presidency. Intelligence officials began to investigate after obtaining evidence that he may have mishandled classified information, according to unnamed sources familiar with the inquiry.

Credible accusations against Bolton first surfaced in 2020, when the Trump Administration filed a lawsuit attempting to block the release of his book, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.” The government argued that Bolton did not go through the proper vetting process with the National Security Council when drafting the book, a mandatory process for government officials seeking to publish works that may contain classified information.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth refused to block the publication, but only because it was too late. He did conclude, however, that Bolton “likely published classified materials” and had “exposed his country to harm.” He later allowed the wider lawsuit to go forward, which was ultimately dismissed by the Biden Administration in 2021.

Excerpt:

Something happened to John Bolton. He turned…. hard. It was such a hard pivot, I imagined someone or some entity was blackmailing him with it, maybe something to do with all his extracurriculars  in Qatar.

This raid does not surprise me. Bolton has lost the plot. Utterly. And with it, his mind, it seems.

Forced to resign under Bush, Bolton stood by the RINO President. Despite their policy disagreements, Bolton would describe his loyalty to the spineless, gutless Bush, saying, “I serve at the pleasure of the President.” And yet he afforded no such pleasure to the President who gave him his most senior position. And how badly, how desperately, he wanted to be part of the Trump administration. What a rat.

I thought I knew him. I was wrong. He’s a small, narcissistic thirst monster. His betrayal is nothing short of shocking.

“Bolton may be in hot water as FBI investigation expands beyond controversial book,” by Ashley Oliver, Fox News, August 26, 2025:

The Chinese Communist Party has now been exposed for building an advanced nationwide digital surveillance system for the Serbian government that is currently being used to shut down the resistance to the regime. Citizens have been protesting since a November 2024 train station canopy collapse that killed 16 people.

The government led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), led by President Alexsander Vucic, is being accused of being corrupt to the point of making Serbia a dangerous place to live due to mismanaged public works projects. Now, protestors are being met with pro-government counter-protestors, with the violence reportedly only increasing in these clashes.

BELGRADE — The Serbian government is substantially expanding its advanced Chinese-made surveillance system, leaked documents reviewed by RFE/RL show, despite years of protests and backlash from the public over its use.

The documents seen by RFE/RL contain contacts with the Chinese technology giant Huawei.

They show large purchases of software and services necessary to increase the scale of a program called Safe City, a project first sold by Huawei in 2017 through a strategic partnership deal with Serbia’s Interior Ministry.

The program aims to provide facial and license-plate recognition and other surveillance capabilities integrated into a unified, citywide system.

Months of protests in Serbia reached a new intensity Wednesday night as riot police intervened to separate rival demonstrations of anti-government protesters and supporters of President Aleksandar Vucic. The president once again accused unnamed foreign powers of orchestrating the protests, which first began after the deadly collapse of a subway station sparked accusations of widespread government corruption.

Supporters of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) threw flares and firecrackers at anti-government protesters in Novi Sad on Wednesday evening, prompting police to intervene to end the standoff, a major escalation of nine-month-long protests in Serbia.

The student-led protests in Serbia first started in November after a train station canopy collapsed in Novi Sad, killing 16 people and triggering accusations of corruption in state infrastructure projects.

Protests have since drawn hundreds of thousands of people, shaking President Aleksandar Vucic’s firm grip on power. His supporters have recently started organising counter-demonstrations, fuelling fears of possible violence.

Four Al Jazeera journalists including prominent reporter Anas al-Sharif have been killed in a targeted Israeli strike near Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital.

Sharif and another correspondent, Mohammed Qreiqeh, along with cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal were in a tent for journalists at the hospital’s main gate when it was struck, the broadcaster said.

Two other freelance journalists were killed: Moamen Aliwa and Mohammed al-Khaldi.

The “targeted assassination” on Sunday was “yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom”, the news outlet said. The Committee to Protect Journalists said it was appalled by the attack.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it had targeted Sharif, alleging he had “served as the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas”.

Lebanese journalist Khoder Taleb, publisher of the Jareeda website, and former advisor to the Lebanese Prime Minister discussed talk of a peace agreement with Israel during a July 24, 2025 broadcast on Al-Manar TV (Hizbullah–Lebanon). He asked what kind of peace can be made with “criminals” and “child killers.” Taleb said that the current situation is worse than the Nazi Holocaust in Germany, adding: “I wish the Nazis would have burned all those Jews.” He cited a hadith describing Muslims fighting Jews on Judgment Day and said that Jerusalem and Palestine will be liberated. Also appearing on the broadcast was British-Palestinian journalist Abdel Bari Atwan.

Khoder Taleb: “What peace are we talking about? Peace with criminals? Peace with killers? With child killers? I say this for history’s sake, this is worse than the Nazi Holocaust in Germany. I say this on live TV: I wish the Nazis would have burned all those Jews.

[…]

“On [Judgement] Day, the trees and the rocks will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’ This is what we believe in. This is our historical imperative, as Muslims at least. Jerusalem will be liberated. Palestine will be liberated. If not today, then tomorrow. That’s fine, but we must not surrender.”

Hamas has reaffirmed that it will not disarm unless an independent Palestinian state is established, as the group released its second video in two days of an Israeli hostage.

Responding to one of the key Israeli demands to end the war in Gaza, Hamas – which has dominated the territory since 2007 – said it could not yield its right to “armed resistance” unless an “independent, fully sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital” is established.

Indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel aimed at securing a 60-day ceasefire in the Gaza war and deal for the release of hostages ended last week in deadlock.

On Saturday, Hamas released a second video of hostage Evyatar David. In it, David is skeletally thin and is shown digging a hole, which, he says in the video, is for his own grave.

Israeli restrictions on the entry of goods and aid into Gaza have led to severe shortages of food and other essentials, stoking international demands for a ceasefire. UN-backed food security experts said this week that the “worst-case scenario of famine” is now playing out in Gaza.

According to recently declassified FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just the News, the whistleblower, who served Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for more than a decade, repeatedly warned the FBI starting in 2017 that Schiff had approved targeted leaks of damaging intelligence against Trump.

The Denver Post has taken to overtly commit acts of terrorism. The Post shared the information fo the three people who made public information requests that were shared to a social media post called Do Better Denver.

The Do Better Account later shared on X, “I have been informed that the Mayor’s office were the ones that looked at all the CORA requests over the last two years and tried to figure out who I am based on CORA requests and my posts (based on who was requesting them).  The Mayor’s office narrowed it down to three names and FED the story to the @denverpost and told their contact at the Post to CORA the CORA requests in hopes of outing me and getting the media and my followers to turn on me.

The justification by the journalist who published the doxing only makes it worst, legally, criminally, for the Denver Post. The author, Krista Kater, wrote, “People who claim to be citizen journalists must stand by their work with a byline and endure the negative comments and threats that come with the job.”

Denver Post Doxxes Citizens For Sharing Public Records On Crime – The Federalist

Excerpt:

On Aug. 1, The Denver Post exposed the names, locations, voter registrations, and employment of three private citizens who legally obtained public information and sent some to the popular social media account Do Better Denver. On Aug. 7, a Denver Post columnist defended the paper’s decision to dox the three women for sharing public information.

“People who claim to be citizen journalists must stand by their work with a byline and endure the negative comments and threats that come with the job,” wrote Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer.

The Post identified the three people it doxxed by doing a public records request for those women’s public records requests: “The Post filed open records requests to obtain copies of requests tied to DoBetterDNVR,” wrote The Post’s crime reporter Shelly Bradbury in her Aug. 1 article. On Aug. 5, the Denver Gazette confirmed the three doxxed women are not the account administrator. The public records they shared with the accountholder comprise less than 1 percent of Do Better Denver posts.

Bradbury also wrote that the Post targeted the women specifically for exercising their legal rights to view public information. The three, Bradbury wrote, “stand out because of their involvement in the account since its early days in 2023, their connections to each other, and because they did not just send a single video or photo to the account but pursued information through open records requests.”

More than two years into the civil war, the Sudanese paramilitary group is attempting to gain recognition of their “government” in regions they control, one the UN Security council has rejected.

The UN Security council “unequivocally reaffirmed” the sovereignty of Sudan, including its estranged government. The 15-member council warned the decision to legitimize the paramilitary group will lead to “fragmenting the country and worsening an already dire humanitarian situation.”

UN rejects plans by Sudan’s paramilitary group for a rival government amid civil war – Imperial Valley Press Online

Excerpt:

The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday rejected plans by Sudan’s paramilitary group to establish a rival government in areas it controls, warning that the move threatens the country’s territorial integrity and risks further exacerbating the ongoing civil war.

The strongly worded statement by the U.N.’s most powerful body “unequivocally reaffirmed” its unwavering commitment to Sudan’s sovereignty, independence and unity. Any steps to undermine these principles “threaten not only the future of Sudan but also the peace and stability of the broader region,” the statement said.

The 15-member council said the announcement by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces also risks “fragmenting the country and worsening an already dire humanitarian situation.”

Sudan plunged into conflict in mid-April 2023, when long-simmering tensions between its military and paramilitary leaders broke out in the capital, Khartoum, and spread to other regions, including western Darfur. Some 40,000 people have been killed, nearly 13 million displaced and many pushed to the brink of famine, U.N. agencies say.

The RSF and their allies announced in late June that they had formed a parallel government in areas the group controls, mainly in the vast Darfur region where allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity are being investigated.

The deputy prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said last month that the tribunal believes war crimes and crimes against humanity are taking place in Darfur, where the RSF controls all regional capitals except el-Fasher in North Darfur.

The Security Council reiterated that its priority is a resumption of talks by both parties to reach a lasting ceasefire and create conditions for a political resolution of the war, starting with a civilian-led transition that leads to a democratically elected national government.

Council members recalled their resolution adopted last year demanding that the RSF lift its siege of el-Fasher, “where famine and extreme food insecurity conditions are at risk of spreading.” They expressed “grave concern” at reports of a renewed RSF offensive on the besieged city.
