« Au rythme où les journalistes sont tués à Gaza par l'armée israélienne, il n'y aura bientôt plus personne pour vous informer. » Ce cri d'alarme mondial, lancé lundi 1er septembre par RSF et Avaaz, a rallié 250 médias de plus de 70 pays. Dans L'atelier des médias, Steven Jambot reçoit Thibaut Bruttin, secrétaire général de RSF, pour mettre des mots sur cette situation critique. Depuis le 7 octobre 2023 et l'invasion de la bande Gaza par l'armée israélienne, 220 journalistes ont été tués dans l'enclave palestinienne, un chiffre que RSF n'avait « jamais recensé » dans un « espace aussi resserré ». Plus grave encore, 56 d'entre eux auraient été « ciblés dans l'exercice de leur fonction », explique Thibaut Bruttin, qui souligne des « pratiques particulièrement criminelles de la part des forces armées israéliennes ». À écouter aussiRami El Meghari, correspondant de RFI: «On ne se sent en sécurité nulle part à Gaza» Des figures emblématiques comme Anas Al Sharif, collaborateur d'Al Jazeera et lauréat du prix Pulitzer, ont été « désigné[es] comme une cible » par l'armée israélienne, avant d'être tué lors d'une frappe qui a également coûté la vie à six autres journalistes. RSF dénonce une « spirale de l'impunité » alimentée par ces actions. Trois demandes urgentes face au « huis clos » Face à cette urgence, RSF a formulé trois demandes clés : L'évacuation d'urgence des journalistes qui souhaitent quitter Gaza –environ 50 personnes avec leurs familles. Une quinzaine d'entre eux sont des collaborateurs de médias français. La fin de l'impunité des crimes commis par Israël contre les reporters. Un accès indépendant pour la presse internationale au territoire palestinien enclavé. Depuis 23 mois, Gaza est un « huis clos » sans journalistes étrangers. L'armée israélienne prétexte une incapacité à les protéger, mais RSF dénonce une volonté délibérée d'empêcher « d'établir la réalité de ce qui se passe », qu'il s'agisse de la famine, de potentiels crimes de guerre, voire d'un « génocide ».  Protéger le journalisme indépendant face à la propagande Des campagnes de discrédit sont menées contre les journalistes palestiniens qui se trouvent à Gaza, les accusant parfois d'être soutiens du Hamas. Cependant, Thibaut Bruttin insiste sur une distinction essentielle : « On ne parle pas des reporters […] qui travaillent pour le Hamas », mais de « collaborateurs de médias historiquement établis, réputés pour leur fiabilité comme l'Associated Press, RFI ou The Guardian ». Il est crucial de ne pas « confondre la presse indépendante avec la communication du Hamas ». L'espace du journalisme indépendant, pris « entre deux feux » des propagandes israélienne et du Hamas, est gravement menacé, estime Thibaut Bruttin. Le secrétaire général de RSF voit en cette crise une « érosion de principes qui étaient consensuels il y a dix ans » concernant la protection des journalistes en zone de conflit, notamment ceux inscrits dans la résolution 2222 du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies. RSF exhorte donc l'ONU à « réaffirmer la validité des postulats de cette résolution » lors de la 80e assemblée générale, qui doit s'ouvrir dans quelques jours. Thibaut Bruttin appelle aussi les citoyens à s'informer sur ce conflit pour ne pas « effacer la gravité de ce qui s'y passe » et à soutenir les journalistes palestiniens qui sont « l'honneur de la profession ».

This week we talk about the RSF, coups, and the liberal world order.We also discuss humanitarian aid, foreign conflicts, and genocide.Recommended Book: Inventing the Renaissance by Ada PalmerTranscriptIn 2019, a military government took over Sudan, following a successful coup d'état against then-President Omar al-Bashir, who had been in power for thirty years. al-Bashir's latter years were plagued by popular demonstrations against rising costs of living and pretty abysmal living standards, and the government lashed out against protestors violently, before then dissolving local government leaders and their offices, replacing them with hand-picked military and intelligence officers. After he responded violently to yet another, even bigger protest, the military launched their coup, and the protestors pivoted to targeting them, demanding a civilian-run democracy.Just two months later, after unsuccessful negotiations between the new military government and the folks demanding they step aside to allow a civilian government to take charge, the military leaders massacred a bunch civilians who hosted a sit-in protest. Protestors shifted to a period of sustained civil disobedience and a general strike, and the government agreed to hold elections in 2022, three years later, and said that they would investigate the massacre their soldiers committed against those protestors. They also established a joint civilian-military unity government that would run things until the new, civilian government was eventually formed.In late-2021, though, the Sudanese military launched another coup against the unity government, and that council was dissolved, a state of emergency was declared, and all the important people who were helping the country segue back into a democracy were arrested. A new military-only junta was formed, incorporating the two main military groups that were running things, at that point.In 2023, those two military bodies that were working together to run Sudan via this military junta, the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group that were made into a sort of official part of the country's military, while remaining separate from it, and the official Sudanese army, both started aggressively recruiting soldiers and taunting each other with military maneuvers. On April 15 that year, they started firing on each other.This conflict stemmed from the Sudanese military demanding that the RSF dissolve itself, all their people integrating into the country's main military apparatus, but some kind of stand-off seemed to be a long time coming, as the RSF started its recruiting efforts earlier that year, and built up its military resources in the capital as early as February. But as I mentioned, this tinderbox erupted into a shooting war in April, beginning in the capital city, Khartoum, before spreading fast to other major cities.So what eventually became a Sudanese civil, which at this point has been ongoing for nearly 2.5 years, began in April of 2023, was long-simmering before that, is between two heavily armed military groups that ran the country together for a few years, and which both claim to be the rightful leaders or owners of the country, and they're fighting each other in heavily populated areas.This war was also kicked off and is now sustained in part by ethnic conflicts between the main belligerents, which includes the aforementioned Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, but also the Sudan Liberation Movement, which governs a fairly remote and self-sufficient mountainous area in the southern part of the country, and the al-Hilu movement, which supports the RSF's efforts in the region.What I'd like to talk about today is what's happening on the ground in Sudan, in the third year of this conflict, and at a moment when the world's attention seems to have refocused elsewhere, major governments that would have previously attempted to stop the civil war have more or less given up on doing so, and the Sudanese civilians who have been pulled into the conflict, or who have been forced to flee their homes as a consequence of this war, have been left without food, shelter, or any good guys to cheer for.—Sudan has been plagued by coups since it gained independence from the UK and Egypt in 1956; it's seen 20 coup attempts, 7 of them successful, including that most recent one in 2019, since independence.This region also has a recent history of genocide, perhaps most notably in the western Darfur region, where an estimated quarter of a million people from a trio of ethnic groups were killed between 2003 and 2005, alone, and something like 2.7 million people were displaced, forced to flee the systematic killings, strategically applied sexual violence, and other abuses by the Sudanese military and the local, rebel Janjaweed militias, which were often armed by the government and tasked with weeding out alleged rebel sympathizers in the region.This new civil war is on a completely different scale, though. As of April of 2025, two years into the conflict, it's estimated that about 12.5 million people have been displaced, forced from their homes due to everything being burned down or bombed, due to threats from local military groups, killing and assaulting and forcibly recruiting civilians to their cause, and due to a lack of resources, the food and water and shelter all grabbed by these military forces and denied to those who are just trying to live their lives; and that's true of locally sourced stuff, but also humanitarian aide that makes it into the country—it's grabbed by the people with guns, and the people without guns are left with nothing.More than 3.3 million Sudanese people are estimated to have fled the country entirely, and recent figures show that around 25 million people are facing extreme levels of hunger, on the verge of starving to death, including about five million children and their mothers who are essentially wasting away. There are reports of people eating leaves and charcoal, just to get something in their stomachs, and photo evidence of these unmoving crowds of skeletal people who are desperate to get anything, any kind of nutrition at all, any clean water, still make it out of the country, though less and less, as it's becoming more difficult for reporters to make it into and out of the area, safely, and the internet and other communication services, where they're still available, are often shut down.Aid agencies have said that this civil war has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, and even the US government, which especially right now has been very hesitant to say anything about foreign conflicts, has made it pretty clear that they consider this to be a genocide; there are conscious, intentional, obviously planned efforts to systematically wipe out different ethnic groups, and to cleanse areas of hated political and religious rivals, but this genocide is being carried out at the exact moment that many of the world's major, wealthy governments, which historically would have tried to step in and remedy the situation in some way—often ham-handedly, sometimes by supporting one side or the other to try to gain influence in the region, but almost always by also airdropping food and medical goods and other resources into the area to try to help civilians—these governments are mostly pulling back from those sorts of efforts.Some analysts and regional experts have suggested that this points toward a new normal in the global geopolitical playing field; the so-called liberal world order that helped organize things, that established rules and norms from the end of WWII onward, and which incentivized everyone playing nice with each other, not invading each other, not committing genocide, and focusing on trade over war, is falling apart, the United States in particular deciding to stop funding things, stop participating, deciding to antagonize the allies that helped it maintain this state of affairs, and to basically drop anything that seems to much like a responsibility to people not in the United States. And a lot of other governments are either scrambling to figure out what that means for them, or deciding that they can afford to do something of the same. China, for instance, while stepping in to fill some of those voids, strategically, has also pulled back on some of its humanitarian efforts, because it no longer needs to invest as much in such things to compete with the US, which no longer seems to be competing in that space at all, with rare exceptions.Conflicts in Africa, also with rare exceptions, also just tend to get less attention than conflicts elsewhere, and there are all sorts of theories as to why this might be the case, from simple racism to the idea that areas with more economic potential are more valuable as allies or supplicants, so wealthy nations with the ability to do something will tend to focus their resources on areas that are more strategically vital or wealth-generating, so as to recoup their investment.Whatever the specifics and rationales, though, Sudan has long been conflict-prone, but this civil war seems to be locking the area into a state of total war—where nothing is off the table, and terror against civilians, and to a certain degree wiping out one's enemies completely, salting the earth, killing all the civilians so they can never threaten your force's dominance again, is becoming fundamental to everyone's military strategy—and that state of total war, in addition to be just horrific all by itself, also threatens to roil the rest of the area, including the far more globally integrated and thus well supported and funded Horn of Africa region, which is strategically vital for many nations, due to its adjacency to the Middle East and several vital ports, and the Sahel, which is a strip of land that stretches across the continent, just south of the Sahara desert, and which in modern history has been especially prone to military coups and periods of violence, at times verging on genocide, and which in recent decades has seen a bunch of democratic governments toppled and replaced by military juntas that have done their best to completely disempower all possible future opposition, at times by committing what look a lot like mini-genocides.This conflict, all by itself, then, is already one of the worst humanitarian situations the world has seen, but the confluence of international distraction—much of our attention and the majority of our resources focused on the also horrible situations in Gaza and Ukraine, and the specter of great power competitions that might arise as a result of Ukraine, or of China deciding to invade Taiwan—alongside the pullback from humanitarian funding, and the seeming distaste previously internationally involved entities, like the US and China, now seem to have when it comes to playing peacemaker, or attempted peacemaker, in these sorts of conflicts.All of which would seem to make it a lot more likely that this conflict, and others like it, will continue to play out, and may even reach a scale that permanently scars Sudan and its people, and which possibly even cascades into a series of regional conflicts, some interconnected, and some merely inspired by the brazenness they can clearly see across the border, and the seeming lack of consequences for those committing these sorts of atrocities in order to attain more power and control.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_genocidehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_civil_war_(2023%E2%80%93present)https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/09/sudan-civil-war-humanitarian-crisis/683563/?gift=201cWZnM2XBz2eP81zy0pG9Zt_k9jZnrEhnY7lvH1ZQhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/13/sudan-humanitarian-global-world-order-neglect-conflict/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/world/africa/sudan-usaid-famine.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/africa/world-food-programme-reduce-food-support-sudan-due-funding-shortages-2025-04-25/https://www.eurasiareview.com/25042025-sudan-war-is-a-global-crisis-in-the-making-analysis/https://apnews.com/article/un-sudan-darfur-war-anniversary-paramilitary-government-dbfff6244d935f595fb7649a87a6e073https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/sudans-world-warhttps://news.un.org/en/story/2025/04/1162576https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/04/1162096https://reliefweb.int/report/sudan/sudan-situation-map-weekly-regional-update-18-aug-2025https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2wryz4gw7ohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/opinion/sudan-genocide-famine.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_revolutionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_civil_war_(2023%E2%80%93present)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Sudanese_coup_d%27%C3%A9tathttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan_People%27s_Liberation_Movement%E2%80%93Northhttps://www.crisisgroup.org/africa/horn-africa/sudan/stopping-sudans-descent-full-blown-civil-warhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coups_d%27%C3%A9tat_in_Sudan This is a public episode.

Israel ha matado ya a más de 200 periodistas palestinos desde octubre de 2023. Más que en los principales conflictos del último siglo juntos. Para denunciar esta matanza deliberada y exigir el acceso a la Franja de la prensa extranjera, Reporteros Sin Fronteras impulsa una movilización global a la que se han sumado 200 medios de comunicación de unos 50 países, entre ellos RTVE. En 'Las mañanas de RNE', hablamos con Alfonso Bauluz, presidente de RSF en España, que denuncia que Israel pretende acabar con los testigos de sus crímenes. "No quieren que los periodistas que pueden probar los crímenes de guerra, las atrocidades, comparezcan ante los tribunales internacionales. No quieren testigos que relaten lo que está ocurriendo", afirma Bauluz, que cree que debe abochornarnos a todos que un genocidio de estas características esté ocurriendo hoy en día.Escuchar audio

El presidente de Reporteros Sin Fronteras España (RSF), Alfonso Bauluz, profesor de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, y editor de Internacional en la Agencia EFE, donde ha ejercido como corresponsal en África, Asia y América, cuenta la importante labor de RSF, la mayor organización internacional de defensa de la libertad de prensa, de informar y de ser informado en todo el mundo.

Une rencontre secrète a eu lieu, lundi 11 août, en Suisse, à Zurich, entre le chef de l'armée soudanaise, le général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan et l'émissaire américain pour l'Afrique, Massad Boulos. La rencontre a duré trois heures selon le gouvernement soudanais. Elle portait sur le plan américain pour un cessez-le-feu global au Soudan ainsi que sur l'acheminement d'une aide humanitaire, particulièrement vers el-Fasher, la capitale du Darfour nord assiégée par les paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide. Le chercheur Roland Marchal revient sur la position de la diplomatie américaine et sur ces nouveaux efforts pour tenter de négocier une sortie à la crise soudanaise. RFI : Qu'est-ce qu'on sait de ce plan pour un cessez-le-feu global qui aurait donc été proposé par les États-Unis lors de cette rencontre ? D'abord, les discussions ont eu lieu avec une seule des deux parties en l'occurrence avec le général al-Burhan, qui est le chef de l'armée soudanaise. On ne sait pas si d'autres discussions ont lieu parallèlement ou vont avoir lieu avec les Forces de soutien rapide commandées par le général Hemedti. Ce qu'on pense savoir, c'est que la diplomatie américaine s'efforce de faciliter l'accès humanitaire et qu'il y a à faire des deux côtés. C'est-à-dire que l'accès humanitaire est freiné tant du côté des RSF que du côté de l'armée soudanaise. Et donc il faut lever toute une série d'obstacles pseudo bureaucratiques pour permettre à l'aide d'arriver là où elle doit arriver. Le deuxième problème, c'est évidemment quel type de cessez-le-feu et de relance politique peut avoir lieu. Les renseignements qu'on a aujourd'hui sur la réunion ne permettent pas d'éclairer ça très bien. On sait que le général al-Burhan va sans doute défendre une exclusion totale des FSR et sans doute le jugement d'Hemedti et de tous ceux qui lui ont été le plus proche. Mais il est sûr que dans des discussions confidentielles, le général al-Burhan peut dessiner une voie qui n'a pas encore été empruntée jusqu'à présent. Et pourquoi a-t-il accepté cette fois-ci de rencontrer les Américains ? Est-ce que ça s'explique notamment par les avancées du coup des forces soudanaises sur le terrain ? Oui et non. Oui, évidemment, le gouvernement soudanais n'est plus dans la position de faiblesse dans laquelle il était il y a un an. Mais d'un autre côté aussi, il y a des critiques de plus en plus fortes qui sont exprimées vis-à-vis du général al-Burhan. Il y a des sanctions parce qu'apparemment, des armes chimiques auraient été utilisées par l'armée soudanaise contre les populations. Et puis d'autre part aussi parce que, au moins d'un point de vue militaire, on est tout à fait conscient que d'un côté comme de l'autre, il y a une escalade dans la technologie qui est utilisée et qu'il va falloir autre chose que simplement une supériorité militaire pour régler ce conflit. Et puis aussi, il y a une inquiétude, peut-être que le général al-Burhan a peut être une inquiétude vis-à-vis de ses propres troupes, le fait que le contrôle des milices est quand même difficile, et donc c'est peut-être aussi un bon moment pour lui d'essayer de marquer des points diplomatiquement en soulignant combien les preuves contre les Forces de soutien rapide sont multiples concernant l'assassinat de civils, des massacres de masse, etc. Mais est-ce qu'il n'y a pas des contreparties qui pourraient être demandées au général al-Burhan, comme par exemple son départ ou la mise en place d'un gouvernement civil ? On ne sait pas réellement quelle est l'expertise dont se prévaut l'envoyé américain Massad Boulos. Donc on ne sait pas si ce sont des discussions à haut vol, sans entrer dans des détails, ou si l'envoyé spécial américain a une vision extrêmement précise des forces en présence, se souvient qu'il y a des forces civiles qui se sont opposées à Omar el-Béchir en 2019, et également des forces civiles qui aspirent à gouverner, qui aspirent à un changement. Donc, la question est de savoir si les Américains vont se contenter finalement d'une négociation avec les deux parties armées, ou est-ce qu'ils iront beaucoup plus loin. Sur un véritable régime civil de transition qui inclura ou n'inclura pas des personnalités proches des deux parties combattantes aujourd'hui. Est-ce qu'avec ces discussions, on peut espérer que l'aide humanitaire circule mieux au Soudan et plus particulièrement vers El Fasher, la capitale du Darfour-Nord ? Du côté du gouvernement soudanais, les choses sont à la fois plus simples puisqu'il y a une autorité, il y a une chaîne de commandement et plus compliqué parce qu'il y a la chaîne de commandement de l'armée, mais il y a aussi beaucoup de milices qui sont sur les routes, qui ont leur propre check-point. C'est un véritable chemin kafkaïen pour obtenir toutes les autorisations pour les Nations unies de quitter Port-Soudan, où l'aide humanitaire arrive pour l'envoyer dans des lieux qui sont, il faut le rappeler, pour certains, contrôlés par le gouvernement, puis pour d'autres endroits qui sont plus sympathisantes des Forces de soutien rapide, et dans ce cas-là, il y a des oppositions très fortes qui se manifestent. L'envoyé spécial américain peut trouver des moyens et des arguments pour convaincre le général al-Burhan d'agir de façon un peu plus déterminée, de faire respecter la chaîne de commandement, puisqu'il prétend être le gouvernement. Ce sera sans doute beaucoup plus compliqué du point de vue des Forces de soutien rapide, dans la mesure où, s'il y a l'image d'un commandement central, il y a quand même une très grande faiblesse de la chaîne de commandement, ce qui fait que les milices sur le terrain peuvent établir des check-points et n'en ont rien à faire des papiers, fussent-ils signés par Hemedti ou son frère.

Israel ha asesinado a 242 informadores desde octubre de 2023 según Naciones Unidas. Algunos, acusados de terroristas por el ejército israelí, otros, dicen que por estar en el sitio equivocado. Pero asesinar periodistas es un crimen de guerra, supone una grave violación del derecho internacional humanitario y un ataque a la libertad de prensa sobre todo en un lugar en el que se prohíbe el acceso a los medios internacionales. Según un informe del Instituto Watson de relaciones internacionales el año pasado el conflicto en Gaza ya era el más mortífero de la historia para los profesionales de la información. Y este año la cifra ha seguido subiendo. Hablamos con Alfonso Bauluz, presidente de RSF. Estaremos en Sudán, que sufre la peor crisis humanitaria del planeta.También en Ucrania porque los representantes de la Unión Europea insisten en la importancia de que el país forme parte de las conversaciones de paz sobre su guerra con Rusia. Vamos a conocer también un informe de Médicos sin Fronteras sobre el impacto de la política migratoria de Donald Trump. Analizaremos en una entrevista la reunión que se está produciendo en Ginebra con 179 países sobre los residuos plásticos y la vida de los océanos y además hablaremos de la UFC, la competición de las artes marciales mixtas, como estrategia política.

Buckle up yall! On this episode we start off by discussing the radioactive wasps found in South Carolina and their possible implecations on the local wildlife/human population. We then spend a few minutes discussing the Texas Democrat law makers that have fled the state to avoid a vote rather than doing their jobs (literally the thing they were elected to do). You may remeber Dean Cain as Superman from the 90's tv series, but now he's an ICE agent, and has started a recruiting campaign to get others to join! We then talk about the Ft. Stewart shooting that just took place, injuring 5 soldiers. We then shift gears to discuss the new slur for AI driven robots, and what other new derogatory terms we may see in the future. NASA has determined they will be building a Lunar Nuclear Reactor on the moon by 2030, 5 years ahead of the Chinese/Russian goal of 2035. Trump has decided to hit India with an additional 25% tarriff, bringing their total to 50% due to their buying of Russian oil. "Big Balls", a DOGE employee, was attacked in DC, prompting Trump to say that he wants to federalize the district! Russian HIV cases have exploded since their invasion of Ukraine to an astronomical amount, due to the sex workers and needle sharing (and all that that implies) on the front. Speaking of sex workers, a Thai woman has been bedding bhuddist monks, then extorting millions of dollars from them over the past few years, and was caught with 80,000 pictures and videos she was using to blackmail them! Meanwhile, the US and European countries have told Iran that it needs to cease all spy and espionage operations or there will be consequences. Iran is also handling their own alleged "in-house" espionage issues as they just hung a nuclear scientist for giving information to moussad about the death of a scientist during the bombings. In Sudan, the Sudanese government has accuse the UAE of funding Columbian mercenaries to join with the RSF in their ever growing civil war.

Trong bối cảnh cuộc nội chiến kéo dài 2 năm vẫn đang tiếp diễn, hàng trăm ngàn thường dân đang đứng trước nguy cơ chết đói tại thành phố Al-Fashir bị bao vây của Sudan. Lực lượng Hỗ trợ Nhanh RSF bán quân sự đã bao vây thành phố và cắt đứt viện trợ trong hơn 15 tháng, khiến tình trạng nạn đói thảm khốc càng thêm trầm trọng. RSF đang quyết tâm chiếm lại thành phố cuối cùng, chưa nằm dưới sự kiểm soát của họ tại khu vực Darfur của Sudan, nơi họ bị cáo buộc thực hiện một chiến dịch tàn bạo, với các vụ thảm sát sắc tộc và bạo lực tình dục, nhưng các chiến binh phủ nhận những cáo buộc này. Xin lưu ý, báo cáo này có chứa nội dung gây đau lòng.

As a two-year-old civil war rages on, hundreds of thousands of civilians are at threat of starvation in Sudan's besieged city of Al-Fashir. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have surrounded the city and cut off aid for more than 15 months, exacerbating the catastrophic famine conditions. The RSF are intent on capturing the last city yet to fall under their control in Sudan's Darfur region, where they are accused of enacting a brutal campaign of ethnically-targeted massacres and sexual violence. The militants deny these claims. A warning this report contains distressing content.

Israel seizes Gaza-bound aid ship "Israeli forces stormed the Gaza-bound aid ship Handala after it sent a distress call, detaining 21 activists on board. Live video streams from the vessel were cut mid-raid as soldiers took control. The ship is being towed to Ashdod, with activists expected to be deported. The fate of the crew remains unclear." Israel announces short pause of its Gaza attacks "Israel says it will pause fighting in Gaza on Sunday from 10 a.m. to evening to allow aid into what it calls as “humanitarian centres.” The brief halt comes amid rising international pressure over the deepening crisis in the besieged Palestinian enclave. " RSF-led coalition announces parallel government in Sudan "Sudan's RSF paramilitary has declared its own government, defying the army and risking further partition. RSF leader Hemedti unveiled the administration in western Sudan, where his forces hold sway. The army, which controls Khartoum, has vowed to crush the move, escalating a war already tearing the country apart." Türkiye signs deal to supply 48 KAAN fighter jets to Indonesia "Türkiye has signed an agreement to deliver 48 KAAN fighter jets to Indonesia in a landmark defence partnership. The deal includes joint production, engineering collaboration, and technology transfer, with deliveries scheduled over the next 10 years. Officials hailed the signing as a “historic moment” for bilateral defence ties, deepening cooperation between the two nations." "Nigeria pull off stunning comeback to win WAFCON " "Nigeria roared back from 2-0 down to beat hosts Morocco 3-2 and clinch a record 10th Women's Africa Cup of Nations. Goals from Okoronkwo, Ijamilusi, and late hero Echegini sealed a dramatic win in Rabat. The Super Falcons remain Africa's undisputed queens of football."

In this episode of The Horn, Alan is joined by analyst and researcher Sarra Majdoub to take a closer look at Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their evolving military and political objectives. They discuss the RSF's recent loss of control in Khartoum to the Sudanese Armed Forces, and the group's strategic pivot toward consolidating power in Darfur and the Kordofan regions even as those areas suffer from a deepening humanitarian crisis. They unpack the RSF's emerging new political strategy, including their recent alliance with the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) and efforts to establish a parallel government with allied armed groups. They also discuss the RSF's new long-range drone capabilities and why the group decided to escalate the conflict by launching strikes into eastern Sudan, including on Port Sudan. Finally, they explore whether the RSF is preparing for a lengthy war and protracted stalemate, if the group is positioning for a negotiated settlement to the war, or both.

C dans l'air du 23 juillet 2025 - Famine et destruction à Gaza... Que cherche Israël ? - "Une famine de masse se propage dans la bande de Gaza, nos collègues et les personnes que nous aidons dépérissent", alertent ce mercredi, dans un communiqué, plus d'une centaine d'ONG, dont Médecins sans frontières, Amnesty International ou encore Oxfam International. Elles appellent à un cessez-le-feu immédiat, à l'ouverture de tous les points de passage terrestres et à la libre circulation de l'aide humanitaire dans le territoire palestinien, assiégé et dévasté par plus de vingt et un mois de guerre menée par Israël après l'attaque sans précédent du Hamas sur son sol, le 7 octobre 2023.Le secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres, a également vivement condamné hier "l'horreur" dans la bande de Gaza, où les morts et les destructions ont atteint un niveau "sans équivalent dans l'histoire récente". "La malnutrition explose. La famine frappe à toutes les portes", a-t-il déclaré lors d'une réunion du Conseil de sécurité. Le même jour, le directeur de l'hôpital Al-Chifa, Mohammed Abou Salmiya, a rapporté la mort de 21 enfants de malnutrition en seulement 72 heures. "À chaque instant, de nouveaux cas arrivent", a-t-il averti. À l'hôpital Nasser, dans le sud de la bande de Gaza, des images de l'AFP montrent des parents en larmes devant le corps squelettique de leur fils de 14 ans, mort de faim. L'Agence France-Presse fait également part de son inquiétude pour ses dix journalistes toujours présents sur place. "Ils subissent la famine et peuvent mourir de faim d'un jour à l'autre", alerte la Société des journalistes de l'AFP. D'après Reporters sans frontières (RSF), plus de 200 journalistes ont été tués à Gaza par l'armée israélienne depuis le début du conflit. "Au rythme où les journalistes tombent, il n'y aura bientôt plus personne pour vous informer", prévient RSF.Dans ce contexte, la France hausse le ton. Par la voix de son ministre des Affaires étrangères, Jean-Noël Barrot, elle demande à Israël de laisser entrer les journalistes dans la bande de Gaza et condamne "avec la plus grande fermeté" l'extension des raids. Lundi, Paris, Londres et plus de vingt autres pays ont également appelé à la fin immédiate de la guerre à Gaza et dénoncé le modèle d'acheminement de l'aide humanitaire organisé par Israël.Du côté des États-Unis, l'émissaire spécial Steve Witkoff s'apprête à se rendre au Moyen-Orient. Son objectif : obtenir un nouveau cessez-le-feu et établir un corridor humanitaire sécurisé. Mais les dernières négociations indirectes entre Israël et le Hamas, en vue d'une trêve de 60 jours et de la libération des otages, n'ont pas enregistré de progrès. Malgré l'optimisme affiché par Donald Trump en début de mois, Benyamin Netanyahou semble jouer à fond la carte de l'escalade militaire. Après avoir bombardé des sites nucléaires iraniens en juin et mené dernièrement des frappes en Syrie, l'armée israélienne a lancé une nouvelle offensive à Deir al-Balah, dans le centre de la bande de Gaza — une localité jusqu'ici épargnée, en raison de la présence supposée des 49 otages israéliens détenus par le Hamas.Pour ajouter à la confusion, des divergences de fond semblent apparaître sur l'avenir de la bande de Gaza entre Benyamin Netanyahu et le général Eyal Zamir, le chef d'état-major de Tsahal.

La crisis de financiación -con crecientes presiones contra el gasto público-, el lastrado impacto de las nuevas plataformas digitales y sus algoritmos, el deterioro de las garantías de independencia política y una crisis general de confianza pública. Esta es la radiografía que publicó el lunes Reporteros Sin Fronteras (RSF) en un nuevo informe sobre los medios públicos europeos. Los periodistas de alrededor del continente intentan sortear una orografía de amenazas. En algunos casos, RSF va más allá del análisis: el informe acusa directamente a Italia de convertir sus medios en “portavoces gubernamentales” y a Hungría de utilizarlos como “instrumentos de propaganda del poder”. Thibaut Bruttin, director general de RSF, se pregunta a quién sirven verdaderamente los medios: “¿Al servicio del público o del partido de turno? Este es uno de los mayores retos a los que se enfrentan hoy en día los medios públicos en Europa”. Elena García, representante de la ONG Reporteros Sin Fronteras, explica a RFI que “más de la mitad de los encuestados en este informe estiman que las presiones ejercidas sobre los medios son de naturaleza política. Vemos injerencias políticas a nivel europeo generalizado”. Los ejemplos se suceden en múltiples países. Y no solo en los gobiernos comúnmente denominados ultraconservadores, como el de Meloni y Orbán. En Francia, la polémica gira en torno a una propuesta de fusión de los grupos públicos con el objetivo de centralizar los recursos. Mientras que, en España, las críticas se dirigen a una reforma ya aprobada en 2024 que redujo la mayoría necesaria en el Parlamento para nombrar a los directivos de Radio Televisión Española. La ONG denuncia que no solo los medios públicos son el objetivo de las críticas de la clase política, sino que la presión llega también desde la tendencia global contra los impuestos. “El canon audiovisual, utilizado por 10 de los 27 países de la Unión Europea, suele ser un blanco fácil”, dice el informe. Efecto contagio Elena García, entrevistada en RFI, cuenta que se debe temer un “efecto contagio” de las políticas de recortes de los medios públicos de Donald Trump en Estados Unidos. Trump ha dejado a mínimos el equipo de la radio pública estadounidense “Voice of America”, pero sus políticas también tienen un impacto en el otro lado del Atlántico. Su administración anunció el recorte total de todos los fondos a Radio Europa Libre, un emblema del periodismo público en Europa del Este desde la Guerra Fría y aún activo en la cobertura de la situación en Rusia, Bielorrusia y Ucrania. El informe, sin embargo, también deja notas para el optimismo, como el aumento de la tasa audiovisual en la República Checa después de 15 años sin modificaciones. Ante la “oleada” de amenazas que identifica, Reporteros Sin Fronteras propone la creación de un organismo independiente que permita estimar las necesidades económicas de los medios públicos, un nuevo impuesto a las plataformas digitales que las financie y la creación de un medio audiovisual europeo que permita la supervivencia de Radio Europa Libre.

Trump says Gaza ceasefire could be days away "US President Donald Trump said a Gaza ceasefire deal could be wrapped up within the week. Speaking at Joint Base Andrews, he noted talks are progressing and hinted at a breakthrough soon. He confirmed that Israel has agreed to the proposed terms for a 60-day truce, with the deal now in Hamas' hands. Qatar and Egypt are mediating, and Hamas has responded positively, showing readiness to move forward. " Trump approves Patriot missiles for Ukraine "Trump announced the US will send Patriot air defence missiles to Ukraine but says the EU is paying the bill. “We're not paying anything for it,” he said, calling it good business for the US. He took a jab at Putin, accusing him of double talk: “He talks nice and then bombs people at night.” Trump didn't say how many missile systems will be delivered." Australia launches biggest war games ever "Australia kicked off its largest-ever military drill, with 35,000 troops training across the country. “Talisman Sabre 2025” includes forces from over 15 partner nations and, for the first time, extends into Papua New Guinea. The exercise reflects growing security concerns in the Indo-Pacific, especially around Taiwan. The three-week drills will cover land, sea, and air operations, showcasing serious regional coordination." Sudan: RSF attack kills 11 civilians, including children "At least 11 civilians, among them three children, were killed in a deadly RSF attack in North Kordofan, Sudan. The Sudan Doctors Network slammed it as one of the most brutal assaults yet. Over 30 others were injured, including nine women and pregnant civilians. Medical officials are calling on the UN and African Union to intervene and stop the violence." Erdogan pushes for ‘Terror-Free Türkiye' "President Erdogan says Türkiye is pushing to erase terrorism from the region's agenda for good. In a call with UAE President Al Nahyan, he reaffirmed Ankara's commitment to regional security under its ‘Terror-Free Türkiye' initiative. Al Nahyan welcomed the move and said it would greatly enhance stability."

The New Yorker recently published a report from Sudan, headlined “Escape from Khartoum.” The contributor Nicolas Niarchos journeyed for days through a conflict to reach a refugee camp in the Nuba Mountains, where members of the country's minority Black ethnic groups are seeking safety, but remain imperilled by hunger. The territory is “very significant to the Nuba people,” Niarchos explains to David Remnick. “They feel safe being there because they have managed to resist genocide before by hiding in these mountains. And then you start seeing the children with their distended bellies, and you start hearing the stories of the people who fled.” The civil war pits the Sudanese Army against a militia group called the Rapid Support Forces. Once allies in ousting Sudan's former President, the Army and the R.S.F. now occupy different parts of the country, destroying infrastructure in the opposing group's territory, and committing atrocities against civilians: killing, starvation, and widespread, systematic sexual violence. The warring parties are dominated by Sudan's Arabic-speaking majority, and “there's this very, very toxic combination of both supremacist ideology,” Niarchos says, and “giving ‘spoils' to troops instead of paying them.” One of Niarchos's sources, a man named Wanis, recalls an R.S.F. soldier telling him, “If you go to the Nuba Mountains, we'll reach you there. You Nuba, we're supposed to kill you like dogs.”

Sudan's army says it has liberated all of Khartoum state from the paramilitary RSF. Also: the UN says new aid supplies have still not been distributed in Gaza, and rapid test could improve treatment for brain tumours.

Hundreds of thousands flee Sudan's largest refugee camp in Darfur, after deadly attacks by RSF paramilitaries. Also: ‘God's architect' Antoni Gaudí is on the path to sainthood, and the new film inspired by a penguin.

Parts of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, are now a burnt-out shell after the army recaptured the city from the RSF paramilitary group. Also: has there been a major evolution in the design of the American baseball bat?
