Intensified drone attacks on the new front line of Sudan's civil war have led to mass civilian casualties in recent weeks and are increasingly shaping the course of the conflict. The epicentre of fighting has shifted to the south-central Kordofan region since both sides consolidated their gains in the other main battlefields of this nearly three-year war. This comes as foreign ministers of the Sudan core group at the UN Human Rights' Council say violence by the RSF in the city of al-Fashir bears the hallmarks of genocide. This week, the UN Security Council announced new sanctions on four leaders of the group over atrocities committed in the western city of Al Fasher. For more on what is happening on the ground. Bongiwe Zwane caught p with Global Security Analyst and Criminologist, Diyeli Aigbe...

Last October, the war in Sudan took a new turn with the capture of El Fasher by the Rapid Support Forces. The city in western Sudan had been under siege by the RSF for more than two years before the Sudanese armed forces suddenly withdrew. After taking control of El Fasher, the RSF began to carry out a massacre of civilians. A UN fact-finding mission recently found that the crimes in El Fasher bore “hallmarks of genocide.” The Sudanese catastrophe is all the more depressing because it comes after a brief moment of greater political openness and optimism after the ousting of a dictator in 2019. Joshua Craze joins Long Reads to discuss the evolution of the conflict in Sudan and its likely future. Joshua has written many articles about the politics of Sudan and South Sudan for publications such as the New Statesman, the New York Review of Books, and Jacobin.

Les États-Unis ont annoncé jeudi des sanctions contre trois commandants des Forces de soutien rapide (RSF) au Soudan pour leur rôle dans le siège et la prise de la ville d'Al-Fashir. Cette décision a été rendue publique par le département du Trésor. Washington accuse les RSF d'avoir mené des meurtres à grande échelle pendant le siège de dix-huit mois et après la capture de la ville en octobre 2025.

« On ne peut plus rien dire », vraiment ? Dans ce 3ᵉ épisode de Parlons Europe, on démonte ce refrain pour interroger la liberté de la presse et la liberté d'expression en Europe. Entre héritage des Lumières, cadre juridique européen, pressions politiques et économiques, censures invisibles et nouvelles menaces, ces libertés fondamentales, loin d'être absolues, sont pourtant toujours essentielles. Un épisode pour comprendre pourquoi défendre la liberté de la presse, ce n'est pas tout dire sans limites, mais garantir une démocratie vivante, pluraliste et responsable.

The woman tipped to be the next head of the UK Civil Service has faced multiple bullying complaints according to reports this morning. The Times newspaper says "there is more than a whiff of misogyny" in the briefings against her. Nuala McGovern hears more about the debate over the possible appointment of Dame Antonia Romeo with Kitty Donaldson, the Chief Political Commentator for the i Newspaper, and Caroline Slocock. Caroline was the first female private secretary to a British Prime Minister when she served alongside Margaret Thatcher.Belle Burden is a former corporate lawyer, a pro bono immigration lawyer, a Harvard graduate and a mother of three, born into American high society. When she got married in 1999, her wedding was announced in the New York Times. Two decades later she broke with convention and published her candid essay on the marriage's sudden rupture, in the long-running New York Times Modern Love series. Now her book Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage has become a New York Times bestseller. Belle Burden joins Nuala live from New York to discuss ghosting, grieving and getting on with life on her own terms.Tomorrow, the Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper will speak about the plight of women and girls in Sudan at the United Nations Security Council. Stories from the war-torn country are harrowing. Sudan's conflict began in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces or RSF. More than 150,000 people have died in the conflict across the country, and about 12 million have fled their homes in what the UN has called the world's largest humanitarian crisis. Nuala is joined BBC's Africa Correspondent, Barbara Plett Usher.Two years ago, Dr Henrietta Hughes, England's first Patient Safety Commissioner, published a report laying out a plan for compensation for women harmed by pelvic mesh implants. The Hughes report set a deadline for the government, which has just passed without action. Dr Hughes tell Nuala what action she wants to see from the government, and Kath Sansom, the founder of the Sling The Mesh campaign group, tells us how women's lives have been affected.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Helen Fitzhenry

An investigation by Reuters news agency has revealed that Ethiopia built a secret training camp for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) - a group involved in the Sudan war. Satellite images released by Reuters show that the camp is located in western Ethiopia near the border with Sudan.

Gaza, l'Ukraine, le Soudan, l'est de la RDC, le Venezuela, l'Iran, … Face à la multiplication des crises mondiales et à l'évolution technologique des conflits, la sécurité des reporters est au cœur des préoccupations des rédactions. L'atelier des médias diffuse des extraits choisis d'une table ronde qui réunissait des représentants de l'AFP, de TF1-LCI, de l'Unesco et de l'Armée de Terre française pour analyser les défis du moment, entre zones de non-droit et guerre informationnelle. Le 15 janvier 2026, lors de l'événement Médias en Seine, le débat a débuté par un constat sombre : le monde est devenu plus dangereux pour les journalistes. Andrea Cairola, conseiller à l'Unesco, souligne un retour massif des attaques physiques après des décennies de déclin. Ce climat d'insécurité extrême touche particulièrement Gaza, où plus de 220 journalistes ont été tués selon RSF et où les infrastructures de presse n'ont pas été épargnées. Phil Chetwynd, directeur de l'information de l'AFP, s'alarme de ce franchissement de lignes rouges : « Notre bureau à Gaza a été ciblé par quatre tirs d'un char qui a tiré très concrètement sur la salle des serveurs pour éliminer une caméra live qui donnait sur le champ de bataille. » La guerre des drones en Ukraine Sur le terrain ukrainien, la menace a changé de visage avec l'utilisation massive des drones. Solenn Riou, reporter pour TF1-LCI, explique que l'identification traditionnelle du journaliste (« presse » sur le gilet ou le véhicule) est devenue paradoxalement un danger. Elle décrit une réalité quotidienne éprouvante et reprend les propos d'un officier rencontré dans ce pays : « Le terrain ukrainien, c'est comme une autoroute, une autoroute de drone, ça s'arrête jamais ». Cette évolution oblige les reporters à une certaine discrétion et à une préparation logistique sérieuse, où le soutien des fixeurs locaux devient vital. L'importance de la formation des journalistes de guerre Pour faire face à ces dangers, la formation est devenue le pilier de la stratégie éditoriale des grands médias. Des stages intensifs, comme celui proposé par l'armée française à Collioure (au CNEC), permettent aux journalistes d'apprendre les gestes de secourisme de combat et de comprendre les effets des armes. Le Commandant Philippe, chef de la section médias du SIRPA-Terre, insiste sur l'importance de ce dialogue entre militaires et journalistes : « Nous les armées, l'objectif n'est pas de vous censurer vous les médias, mais de vous permettre de faire votre travail. »  La bataille de l'information et de la confiance Enfin, l'époque est marquée par une guerre hybride où la désinformation est utilisée comme une arme par certains belligérants. La lutte contre la propagande et le maintien de la confiance du public sont les ultimes remparts du journalisme de terrain. Phil Chetwynd conclut sur la nécessité de la nuance : « Notre travail, c'est vraiment un travail de nuance [...] une des choses les plus importantes [...] c'est d'expliquer clairement ce qu'on ne sait pas ».

Haïti figure parmi les pays les plus dangereux au monde pour les journalistes. Selon le dernier rapport de Reporters sans frontières (RSF), le pays se classe au 111è rang sur 180. Dans ce contexte dominé par la violence des gangs, les journalistes sont fréquemment la cible d'actes criminels, ou même de certains membres de la Police nationale haïtienne. Après Port-au-Prince, la capitale, l'Artibonite est la deuxième région du pays où la situation des journalistes est particulièrement préoccupante.  À Saint-Marc, chef-lieu du Bas-Artibonite, les journalistes sont désormais obligés de rester confinés dans le centre-ville, car la commune se trouve prise en étau entre deux gangs puissants qui menacent régulièrement de s'emparer de la ville. « Nous, journalistes de Saint-Marc, aimerions souvent nous rendre dans les zones périphériques pour réaliser des reportages, notamment dans la commune de Montrouis. Malheureusement, cette région est aujourd'hui contrôlée par des hommes armés, explique à Ronel Paul le journaliste Yveto Altidort, de la Radio Latibonite FM. Nous souhaiterions également nous rendre dans la vallée de l'Artibonite afin d'y rencontrer les paysans, qui ne peuvent plus travailler leurs terres à cause de la présence du gang Gran Grif à Savien, dirigé par un certain Luckson Elan. Hélas, c'est désormais impossible. Contrairement aux années 2020, 2021 et 2022, il est aujourd'hui extrêmement difficile pour nous, journalistes, de poursuivre notre travail sur le terrain. » Les journalistes risquent aussi désormais davantage de sanctions pour diffamation : à trois semaines de la fin de son mandat, le conseil présidentiel de transition (CPT) a adopté un décret pour « encadrer la liberté d'expression ». Le comité de protection des journalistes dénonce un recul des libertés de la presse et réclame le retrait du document publié par les autorités de transition.   État de siège au Guatemala Le président Bernardo Arévalo a déclaré l'état de siège pour 30 jours au Guatemala après l'assassinat de 8 policiers par les gangs ce week-end. Les portraits en noir et blanc de ces hommes et femmes, en uniforme, sont alignés en Une de La Hora. En signe de deuil, la première page du quotidien Prensa Libre a été imprimée sur fond noir ce dimanche et ce lundi. Les policiers ont été tués dans une série d'attaques, de mutineries et de prises d'otages dans des prisons, après que les autorités ont décidé de transférer des chefs de gangs dans un établissement de haute sécurité. Dans son éditorial du jour, Prensa Libre déplore que la politique actuelle du gouvernement consiste plus à réagir qu'à anticiper. D'après le quotidien, ce n'est toutefois pas nouveau : les systèmes de renseignement ont été  « fragilisés » par les gouvernements successifs, par « négligence » ou à cause de « querelles politiques ». Le journal appelle à « punir », au nom des droits des citoyens, même si cela va à l'encontre des droits humains. Mais attention à la tentation « d'importer les méthodes » répressives du Salvador de Nayib Bukele, prévient l'auteur d'une tribune dans El Siglo. C'est un « risque mortel pour la république », écrit-il. Car face à un « discours d'efficacité, tout contrepouvoir est vu comme suspect, est perçu comme un obstacle qui protègerait les coupables », regrette l'auteur de cette tribune. Mais si « le pouvoir apprend qu'il peut fonctionner sans limites », il est déjà trop tard quand le citoyen réalise ensuite « qu'il n'a plus personne à qui demander des comptes », conclut-il.   Au Québec, la difficile mise en œuvre d'une réforme sur la langue française C'est une exception culturelle, encerclée par 350 millions d'anglophones : au Québec, le seul État francophone d'Amérique du Nord, la langue française se défend par la loi. Depuis 2022, le gouvernement a durci sa législation linguistique avec une réforme majeure qui impose le français comme langue normale du travail, du commerce et des affaires. Saluée par ceux qui redoutent une assimilation lente, cette réforme oblige désormais les entreprises, locales comme internationales, à réviser leur grammaire, sous peine de lourdes sanctions.

Leo imetimia siku 1000 tangu kuzuka kwa vita nchini Sudan, vita vinavyohusisha Jeshi la Sudan SAF na Kikosi cha Wanamgambo wa Sudan cha Msaada wa Haraka RSF. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Uhamiaji IOM limesema mtu mmoja kati ya watatu nchini humo ni mkimbizi ndani ya nchi yake au amekimbilia nje ya nchi huku Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF likieleza mzozo huo ambao umeendelea kusababisha janga kubwa la kibinadamu unawatesa zaidi wanawake na watoto kwani wanabeba mzigo mkubwa wa madhara ya vita. Tuungane na Rashid Malekela kwa taarifa zaidi

Một báo cáo của Liên Hiệp Quốc cho biết lực lượng bán quân sự Lực lượng Hỗ trợ Nhanh (Rapid Support Forces, RSF) của Sudan đã sát hại hơn 1.000 thường dân trong một cuộc đột kích vào trại tị nạn Zamzam ở vùng Darfur hồi tháng Tư. Dựa trên lời kể của những người sống sót, báo cáo ghi nhận các vụ hành quyết hàng loạt, bạo lực tình dục trên diện rộng, tra tấn và sát hại nhân viên cứu trợ. Bạo lực này đã trở thành đặc điểm điển hình của lực lượng RSF, và sau đó tiếp tục tái diễn trong cuộc chiếm đóng thành phố Al-Fasher lân cận.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina ya vijana wanaotafuta fursa za mafunzo kwa vitendo. Umoja wa Mataifa ni moja ya mashirika ya kimataifa yanayotoa fursa hii kwa vijana kutoka duniani kote kuja hapa Makao Makuu jijini New York Marekani au hata katika nchi husika.Ripoti mpya ya Umoja wa Mataifa iliyotolewa leo imefichua mauaji ya kutisha, ubakaji na matumizi ya njaa kama silaha ya vita katika kambi ya Zamzam, Darfur, Sudan. Kwa mujibu wa ofisi ya Haki za Binadamu ya Umoja wa Mataifa OHCHR, raia wasiopungua 1,013 waliuawa katika mashambulizi ya siku tatu ya wanamgambo wa RSF mwezi Aprili, huku zaidi ya watu 400,000 wakilazimika kukimbia makazi yao.Leo, katika maadhimisho ya Siku ya Kimataifa ya Wahamiaji, Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa Antonio Guterres amemulika mchango mkubwa wa mamilioni ya wahamiaji duniani, wakati uhamiaji ukiendelea kuwa mgumu zaidi kutokana na migogoro, majanga yanayohusiana na tabianchi na shinikizo za kiuchumi. Ameeleza kuwepo kwa viwango vya juu zaidi vya watu waliolazimika kuhama makazi yao na idadi kubwa zaidi kuwahi kushuhudiwa ya vifo vya wahamiaji wakiwa safarini, huku akisisitiza kuwa uhamiaji salama na unaosimamiwa vyema unaweza kuchochea ukuaji wa uchumi, ubunifu na maendeleo katika nchi za asili na zinazopokea wahamiaji. Guterres amesema, “Uhamiaji unapokuwa salama na unasimamiwa vyema, si janga la kuogopa, bali ni nguvu kubwa ya kuleta mema.”.Na Ama K. Babebrese Balozi mwema wa kitaifa wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Uhamiaji IOM mwenye asili ya Ghana ambaye sasa ni muhamiaji nchini Uingereza, katika siku hii ya uhamiaji ametoa ujumbe maalum akisema "Napenda kumtia moyo kila mtu kwamba tunaweza kuwa tofauti, hadithi zetu za uhamiaji ni tofauti tumetoka kwenye mazingira tofauti lakini kitu cha muhimu ni kwamba kama jamii sisi ni kitu kimoja. Uhamiaji ndio hadithi yangu”.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have seized the Heglig oilfield, a critical site located on the border of Sudan and South Sudan. The capture of vital oil infrastructure is part of the RSF's latest push to dominate the country's Kordofan region. What will this takeover mean for the next stage of Sudan's war?

Even the dogs came and licked his sores.22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'30 “‘No, father Abraham,' he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'”

SHOW 11-12-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1930 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Allied AI Competition and Submarine Requests. Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence. 915-930 Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 930-945 Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 945-1000 Buckley, Fusionism, and Conservative Integrity. Peter Berkowitz explores William F. Buckley's consolidation of the conservative movement through "fusionism"—blending limited government and social conservatism. Buckley purged the movement of anti-Semites based on core principles. Berkowitz uses this historical context to analyze the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Stalin and Hitler. This incident caused division after the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, prompting Roberts to issue an apology. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability. Simon Constable analyzes rare earth markets, noting China's dominance is achieved through undercutting prices and buying out competitors. Prices for key industrial commodities like copper and aluminum are up, indicating high demand. Constable also discusses UK political instability, noting that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks natural leadership and confidence. The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election, 1015-1030 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability.

Carola Binder discusses the Austrian School of Economics, highlighting its focus on free markets and Ludwig von Mises's opposition to government "interventionism," including rent and price controls. Mises argued these policies distort markets, leading to shortages and inefficiency. Binder emphasizes Mises's belief that economic literacy is a primary civic duty necessary for citizens to reject socialism and interventionist panaceas, especially as new generations are exposed to such ideas. 1045-1100 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1115-1130 AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning. 1130-1145 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. 1145-1200 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence.

Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Corruption, Chinese Influence, and Protests in Serbia. Ivana Stradner discusses protests in Serbia demanding accountability one year after a canopy collapse killed 16 people, with investigations linking the accident to high-level corruption involving a Chinese company. Leader Vučić suppresses discontent by alleging the West is plotting a "color revolution." Although Vučić aligns his heart with Russia and China, he needs EU money for political survival, prompting him to offer weapons to the West and claim Serbia is on the EU path. 1215-1230 The Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Network. Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1230-1245 Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses. China also set a record with 70 launches but had a failure. Commercial space faced temporary impacts, such as an FAA launch curfew due to a government shutdown and air traffic controller shortages. Zimmerman speculates that Jared Isaacman's conservative-leaning public appearance at Turning Point USA might have convinced Trump to renominate him for NASA Administrator. 1245-100 AM Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA.

The longest US government shutdown in history is OVER! And this happens literally one day after Trump invites the head of Syria Al-Qaeda to the White house, and after new emails are shared from the Epstein estate about the Trump-Epstein connection? Also, the Philadelphia coin mint is striking its last pennies as the US prepares to no lonjger use this currency. We then shift over to give updates on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Pakistan-India conflict, the Cambodia-Thailand conflict, and we give an update on what's happening in Sudan (as well as discuss the possible UAE ties to the RSF). We then end the episode on a happy note, a Rosie the Riveter statue is being erected to honor a 103 year old "Rosie" in Michigan!To join us next Wednesday night at 9pm cst, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

The Sudanese government calls for international guarantees that RSF rebels will stick by a ceasefire they have signed up to, before it agrees to do the same. Fears grow of a return to conflict in neighbouring Ethiopia, where government forces and rebels from the northern Tigray region accuse each other of launching attacks. A 17-year-old student in Indonesia is suspected of carrying out a bomb attack at a school in Jakarta, which injured more than 50 people. The EU tightens visa rules for Russian citizens amid growing security fears, after nearly four years of war in Ukraine. The musical composition inspired by a world-leading space observatory.

Food delivery has overtaken restaurant dining in a big way. The Atlantic’s Ellen Cushing joins to discuss how restaurants altered their businesses to cater to at-home diners. Plus, Supreme Court justices expressed doubts over Trump’s tariffs, a judge criticized the Justice Department’s “highly unusual” handling of the Comey case, and the scramble to secure the last remaining pennies.
