Sudanese Government Condemns U.S. Sanction Against Burham
By: Michael Mike
Sudanese Government has condemned the sanction by the United States on the President of the Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), General Abdel Fattah al-Burham.
The condemnation was contained in a statement on Thursday by the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The statement signed by the Ministry’s Office of the Spokesperson and Media Directorate, read: “The Government of Sudan rejects and condemns the sanctions imposed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on the President of the Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan
“This decision lacks the basic principles of justice and objectivity, relying on implausible pretexts. It also reflects a blatant disregard for the Sudanese people, who stand firmly united behind General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan as a symbol of their sovereignty and armed forces, and as a courageous leader in the battle for dignity against the terrorist janjaweed militias.
“It is both strange and troubling that such a dubious decision comes shortly after the U.S. administration determined that the RSF militia are committing acts of genocide in Sudan. Consequently, the administration’s move, days before the end of its tenure, to sanction the Commander-in-Chief of SAF, who is protecting the Sudanese people from this genocidal design, reflects inconsistency and a profound failure to uphold justice.
“This flawed decision cannot be justified under the guise of neutrality, as it practically amounts to support for those committing genocide.”
The statement added that: “This unethical decision will not deter the Sudanese people in their struggle against the terrorist militia. It will neither weaken their resolve nor their unity in eradicating this cancer from their land, so that Sudan will emerge stronger than ever.”

Troops of the Nigerian Army have destroyed suspected terrorist hideouts and arrested nine alleged informants during an offensive operation in Karim Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba state.
Security sources said the operation was conducted at about 11:45 a.m. on April 19 by troops of 114 Battalion (Rear) deployed at Andamin, in conjunction with Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) members and local hunters.
During the operation, the troops stormed Jukun village where they destroyed abandoned structures believed to have been used as hideouts by terrorists.
The sources added that nine suspected terrorist informants were also arrested during the raid. The suspects were reportedly linked to a notorious terrorist kingpin identified as “Kadogo,” alleged to have been terrorising communities around Mashingin Kirya, Komodoro Garau and parts of Plateau State.
The apprehended suspects are currently in military custody for further interrogation and investigation.

Troops of 195 Battalion have foiled a kidnap incident in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, leading to the rescue of victims, arrest of suspects and recovery of a rifle.
Security sources said the troops, deployed at Auchi, responded to a distress call at about 8:00 a.m. on April 16, following reports of a kidnapping at Iyuku in Jattu.
On arrival, the troops discovered that three kidnapped victims had escaped from their captors.
One of the victims reportedly overpowered and disarmed one of the kidnappers, seizing an AK-47 rifle loaded with nine rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition.
The victims were subsequently reunited with their families.
Troops later combed the surrounding forest and apprehended five suspected kidnappers, while three mobile phones were also recovered during the operation.
The suspects and recovered items have been handed over to the Department of State Services (DSS) for further investigation.
Military authorities said troops would sustain ongoing operations to rid the area of criminal elements and ensure the safety of residents.

Again, another Monarch abducted in Kwara state by suspected bandits
By: Bodunrin Kayode
Again, bandits have abducted a monarch and two others in an early Saturday morning dare devil raid on the Palace of the Oba in Olayinka community.
Disclosing the sad incident, in a release, the Coordinator of the Joint Security Watch Kwara South, Elder Olaitan Zubair condemned in strong terms the latest kidnapping incident which took place at Olayinka in Agunjin District of Ifelodun council area of Kwara State.
This latest abduction where the monarch of the community, Alhaji Saliman Aweda, and two other restaurants were abducted in the early morning raid that occurred at about 1:00 a.m. today, brings to the fore the helpless nature of the security architecture in the state and the inability of the federal agencies to handle things effectively.
Elder Zubair described the incident as disturbing and unacceptable, noting that the recurrence of such attacks including the recent attacks at Idofin Odo Ase where several people were kidnapped and schools were forced to shut down for four months has heightened fear and insecurity across Kwara South.
Zubair stated that this latest case strengthens the earlier appeal made to the Brigade Commander, 22 Armoured Brigade, for full-scale military operations in the area to complement the recent gallant efforts of captain Abiola and his team, whose operations in Oke-Oyan, Owa-Kajola, Owa-Onire and surrounding communities, and rescue of Idera victims, have shown commitment to tackling the menace, despite limited resources.
“We cannot continue to watch our traditional rulers and innocent citizens fall prey to kidnappers. The time for decisive, coordinated action by all security agencies is now,” Elder Zubair declared.
He urged the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police Force, and other security agencies to treat the security of Ifelodun and the entire Kwara South axis as a matter of urgent priority before the situation deteriorates further.
