The UN warns Sudan's warring parties that Darfur risks starvation and death if aid isn't allowed in
The United Nations food agency warned Sudans warring parties Friday that there is a serious risk of widespread starvation and death in Darfur and elsewhere in Sudan if they dont allow humanitarian aid into the vast western region. Leni Kinzli, the World Food Programs regional spokesperson, said at least 1.7 million people in Darfur were experiencing emergency levels of hunger in December, and the number is expected to be much higher today. Our calls for humanitarian access to conflict hotspots in Sudan have never been more critical, she told a virtual U.N. press conference from Nairobi. Sudan plunged into chaos in mid-April 2023, when long-simmering tensions between its military led by Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces commanded by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, broke out into street battles in the capital, Khartoum. Fighting has spread to other parts of the country, especially urban areas and the Darfur region. The paramilitary forces, known as the RSF, have gained control of most of Darfur and are besieging El Fasher, the only capital in Darfur they dont hold, where some 500,000 civilians had taken refuge. Kinzli said WFPs partners on the ground report that the situation in El Fasher is extremely dire and its difficult for civilians wanting to flee the reported RSF bombings and shelling to leave. She said the violence in El Fasher and surrounding North Darfur is exacerbating the critical humanitarian needs in the entire Darfur region, where crop production for staple cereals like wheat, sorghum and millet is 78% less than the five-year average. On top of the impact of escalating violence, Kinzli said, WFP is concerned that hunger will increase dramatically as the lean season between harvests sets in and people run out of food. She said a farmer in El Fasher recently told her that her family had already run out of food stocks and is living day-to-day, an indication that the lean season, which usually starts in May, started earlier. Kinzli said she received photos earlier Friday from colleagues on the ground of severely malnourished children in a camp for displaced people in Central Darfur, as well as older people who have nothing left but skin and bones. Recent reports from our partners indicate that 20 children have died in recent weeks of malnutrition in that IDP camp, she said. People are resorting to consuming grass and peanut shells, Kinzli said. And if assistance doesnt reach them soon, we risk witnessing widespread starvation and death in Darfur and across other conflict-affected areas in Sudan. Sudans conflict risks creating the world's largest hunger crisis, the top UN food official warns Kinzli called for a concerted diplomatic effort by the international community to push the warring parties to provide access and safety guarantees for humanitarian staff and convoys. One year of this devastating conflict in Sudan has created an unprecedented hunger catastrophe and threatens to ignite the world's largest hunger crisis, she warned. With almost 28 million people facing food insecurity across Sudan, South Sudan and Chad, the conflict is spilling over and exacerbating the challenges that we've already been facing over the last year. In March, Sudanese authorities revoked WFPs permission to deliver aid from neighboring Chad to West Darfur and Central Darfur from the town of Adre, saying that crossing had been used to transfer weapons to the RSF. Kinzli said restrictions from Sudanese authorities in Port Sudan are also preventing WFP from transporting aid via Adre. Sudanese authorities approved the delivery of aid from the Chadian town of Tina to North Darfur, but Kinzli said WFP can no longer use that route for security reasons because it goes directly into besieged El Fasher. On Thursday, gunmen in South Darfur killed two drivers for the International Committee of the Red Cross and injured three ICRC staff members. On Friday, U.N. humanitarian chief Martin Griffith called the killing of aid works unconscionable. Kinzli said the fighting and endless bureaucratic hurdles have prevented WFP from delivering aid to over 700,000 people in Darfur ahead of the rainy season when many roads become impassable. WFP currently has 8,000 tons of food supplies ready to move in Chad, ready to transport, but is unable to do so because of these constraints, she said. WFP urgently requires unrestricted access and security guarantees to deliver assistance, she said. And we must be able to use the Adre border crossing, and move assistance across front lines from Port Sudan in the east to Darfur so we can reach people in this desperate region.

Blinken Urges Hamas Ceasefire for Gaza, Emphasizes Civilian Protection
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that Hamas is the main obstacle to a ceasefire in Gaza. He made these remarks as Hamas prepared for talks in Cairo on Saturday. We're waiting to see if they will agree to the ceasefire and release hostages, Blinken said on Friday. At the moment, Hamas is the only thing preventing peace for the people of Gaza. Blinken mentioned the challenges of negotiating with Hamas, which the US considers a terrorist group. He noted that the leaders of Hamas, whom they engage with indirectly through Qatar and Egypt, live outside Gaza. The decision-makers in Gaza are inaccessible to direct contact. Blinken's comments came after his recent visit to the Middle East, where he met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu expressed his intent to continue the assault on Rafah in southern Gaza, aiming to eliminate Hamas, regardless of ceasefire negotiations. The Biden administration has cautioned against such action, urging Israel to provide a credible plan to protect civilians in Rafah. Blinken emphasized that without such a plan, the US cannot support a major military operation in Rafah due to the potential harm to civilians. In his address at the McCain Institute's Sedona Forum in Arizona, Blinken emphasized the importance of finding a solution that ensures the safety of civilians in Gaza. He reiterated the US commitment to supporting Israel but stressed the need for a proportionate response that minimizes harm to innocent people. Blinken's remarks reflect ongoing diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the violence and establish lasting peace in the region.

I love my country, but I cant kill: Ukrainian men evading conscription
As the war stretches on indefinitely, there are few eager recruits and Kyivs armed forces are short of soldiers Anton* was on his way to work as a civilian volunteer in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv 10 days ago. Several men stopped him. They asked: Hi, who are you? And: Can you show me your documents please? One of the officers produced a tablet and scrolled down a list. He found Antons name. A single word was written next to it in red capital letters: ukhyliant , or draft dodger. The men took him to the nearest conscription office. That morning, Anton and his colleague Serhii were due to drive a truck full of humanitarian aid to a frontline zone. The two men aged 32 and 31 had been checked twice before, once outside a metro station, and on a second occasion while waiting for a tram. They received pieces of paper. The first was a polite request to register details. The second an official summons to report to a recruiting centre as soon as possible. Continue reading...

India and Maldives Discuss Replacement of Indian Military Personnel by May 10
India and Maldives engaged in their fourth round of bilateral High-Level Core Group meetings on Friday, focusing on the replacement of Indian military personnel from the island nation by May 10. The Maldives government, led by Mohamed Muizzu, had set May 10 as the deadline for this withdrawal. According to reports from the Maldives foreign ministry, both parties expressed satisfaction with the progress, affirming that the Government of India will complete the replacement of military personnel at the last of the three aviation platforms by the specified date. Logistics for this transition are proceeding according to plan. Furthermore, they agreed to convene the fifth meeting of the high-level core group in Male during either June or July, at a date suitable for both parties. In recent developments, India's Ministry of External Affairs expressed vigilance regarding the presence of a Chinese vessel in Maldivian waters, asserting measures to protect national and economic interests. The return of the Chinese marine research vessel Xiang Yang Hong 3 to Maldives waters marked its second visit within two months. The vessel was spotted at the Thilafushi industrial island's harbor, although the reason for its return remains undisclosed by the government. Tensions between India and the Maldives escalated since President Mohamed Muizzu took office in November. President Muizzu, perceived as pro-China, reiterated his election promise to remove Indian military personnel from the country. His People's National Congress (PNC) secured a supermajority in the recent parliamentary election. Despite these tensions, India has maintained a diplomatic approach towards the Maldives, continuing development projects and bilateral relations. India's investment in various initiatives in the Maldives amounts to nearly Rs. 771 crore, nearly double the budgeted amount. The Maldives holds strategic importance for India in the Indian Ocean Region. Despite recent strains, the overall bilateral ties, especially in defense and security, saw positive momentum under the previous government in Male. Presently, approximately 70 Indian troops, along with Dornier 228 maritime patrol aircraft and two HAL Dhruv helicopters, are stationed in the Maldives.

Deadly Rains and Mudslides Claim 37 Lives in Brazil's Southern Region
Brazil's southern state of Rio Grande do Sul is facing what authorities call its worst disaster in history, as heavy rains and mudslides wreak havoc, leaving 37 dead and 74 missing, according to Al Jazeera. Rescue teams are working tirelessly to find survivors trapped under debris from collapsed homes, bridges, and roads. Governor Eduardo Leite has declared a state of emergency, recognizing the severity of the situation and the likelihood of the death toll rising further. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has promised full support to the affected region, ensuring ample human and material resources to aid in recovery efforts. Federal assistance has already been mobilized, with aircraft, vehicles, boats, and soldiers deployed for rescue and relief operations. The focus is on clearing roads, providing essential supplies like food, water, and mattresses, and setting up shelters for those displaced by the disaster. However, forecasters warn of more danger ahead as the Guaiba river is expected to swell, worsening the crisis and isolating entire communities. Authorities are urging residents in high-risk areas near rivers and hillsides prone to mudslides to evacuate. Basic services such as drinking water have been disrupted, leaving hundreds of thousands without necessities. These catastrophic events are part of a concerning trend of extreme weather in Brazil, attributed by experts to climate change. A recent cold front following a period of intense heat has exacerbated the situation, highlighting the urgent need for climate action.

Taiwan on High Alert as Chinese Military Presence Increases: Defense Ministry
Nine Chinese military aircraft and five naval vessels were spotted around Taiwan from 6 am Friday to 6 am Saturday, according to Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence (MND). Responding to this, Taiwan deployed combat patrol aircraft, naval vessels, and coastal missile systems. The MND announced on social media that it detected the presence of nine People's Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft and five People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) vessels operating near Taiwan until 6 a.m. Saturday local time. This comes after a previous detection of 26 Chinese military aircraft and five naval vessels from Thursday to Friday. Among the 26 PLA aircraft, 14 crossed the Taiwan Strait median line, while two were spotted in the northeast sector of Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ), and three others entered the southwest ADIZ. Taiwan's MND stated that China's actions have been monitored closely, with responses involving intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems, as well as the deployment of combat patrol aircraft, naval vessels, and land-based air defense missile systems. Taiwan has reported similar incidents throughout May, with Chinese military aircraft detected 30 times and naval vessels 16 times. These actions have been part of China's strategy since September 2020, which involves increased military presence around Taiwan. In light of these developments, Taiwan is focusing on strengthening its defense capabilities. The country is in the midst of a peak period of weapon acquisition to bolster its integrated kill chain functionality and deter potential threats. The kill chain strategy involves a series of tactical steps to identify and neutralize targets in military operations. Additionally, Taiwan's MND has submitted a report to the Legislative Yuan outlining the country's defense preparations and strategic actions amid the international warfare situation. This includes efforts to share information with allied countries in the Indo-Pacific region to build a unified deterrence force.

OTTAWA/NEW YORK: Canadian authorities, who arrested three Indian nationals in connection with the killing of Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, said their investigation has not concluded and others played a role in the homicide. Karan Brar, 22, Kamalpreet Singh, 22, and Karanpreet Singh, 28, all Indian nationals, residing in Edmonton have been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The three are believed by investigators to be members of an alleged hit squad tasked by the government of India with the killing of Nijjar, 45, outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, on June 18, 2023. He was a Canadian citizen. The investigation does not end here. Khalistan: The Canadian connection We are aware that there are others out there that played a role in this homicide and we remain dedicated to identifying and arresting each one of them, Superintendent Mandeep Mooker, Officer in Charge of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said. The three men were arrested for the murder of Nijjar Friday morning by IHIT investigators, with the assistance of members from the British Columbia and Alberta Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Edmonton Police Service. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner David Teboul said they are not able to make any comments about the nature of the evidence collected by police nor can we speak about the motive behind Nijjar's murder. However, understanding this situation has attracted considerable and very broad public interest, I will say this matter is still very much under active investigation. I will underscore that today's announcements are not a complete account of the investigative work currently underway. There are separate and distinct investigations ongoing into these matters, certainly not limited to the involvement of the people arrested today, and these efforts include investigating connections to the Government of India. The ties between India and Canada came under severe strain following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in September last year of the potential involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Nijjar. India has dismissed Trudeau's charges as absurd and motivated. Teboul said that three people have been arrested and charged in the killing of Sikh activist Nijjar. Teboul stressed that the murder remains very much under active investigation. Canada links India to slaying of Khalistani separatist leader, expels top Indian diplomat During the press conference, Superintendent Mandeep Mooker, who leads the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said, IHIT is releasing photos of the accused men in hopes of furthering its investigation. Anyone who may have seen these individuals, in or around Surrey, in the weeks leading up to the homicide, or anyone with information about the homicide is asked to contact IHIT. He said that the suspects were not known to the police before the investigation into Nijjar's death, according to reports. Mooker said all three are Indian nationals and have been living as non-permanent residents in Canada for the last three to five years. He said coordination with India has been challenging and rather difficult for the last several years. Mooker said that his investigation has relied on the Sikh community's support. We would not be at this point without the bravery and courage of the Sikh community coming forward with information for this investigation, he said, adding that he believes they will continue to come forward for any future investigations, according to the report. Citing sources, a report in Global News said that the suspects had entered Canada on student visas but may have been working at the direction of Indian intelligence when they shot Nijjar. According to court records, Brar has been charged with a murder that occurred in Surrey on June 18, 2023. He also faces a charge of conspiracy to murder on May 1, 2023, in Edmonton and Surrey, the report said. Talking to reporters, Canada's Public Safety Minister Dominic Leblanc declined to confirm the Indian government connection, saying such questions are best addressed by the RCMP. I have full confidence in the security apparatus of the government of Canada and the work of the RCMP, and the work that the (Canadian) Security Intelligence Service does, Leblanc said. I think the police operation that you see ongoing today confirms that the RCMP take these matters extremely seriously. But questions with respect to particular links or non-links are properly put to the RCMP, he added. The indictments Friday allege the conspiracy unfolded in both Surrey and Edmonton between May 1, 2023, and the date of Nijjar's killing. Quoting sources close to the investigation, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported that the police are actively investigating possible links to three additional murders in Canada, including the shooting death of an 11-year-old boy in Edmonton. Members of the hit squad are alleged to have played different roles as shooters, drivers and spotters on the day Nijjar was killed at the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, according to the sources. Sources said investigators identified the alleged hit squad members in Canada some months ago and have been keeping them under tight surveillance. India on Monday summoned the Canadian deputy high commissioner and lodged a strong protest with him over the raising of pro-Khalistan slogans at the event in the presence of Prime Minister Trudeau and several other leaders. Nijjar was a Khalistani separatist and he was wanted in India on various terror charges. Days after Trudeau's allegations, India asked Ottawa to downsize its diplomatic presence in the country to ensure parity. Subsequently, Canada withdrew 41 diplomats and their family members from India. India has been asserting that its core issue with Canada remained that of the space given to separatists, terrorists and anti-India elements in that country. Following Trudeau's allegations last year, India temporarily suspended the issuance of visas to Canadian citizens. The visa services were resumed several weeks later.

Canadian police have arrested three Indian nationals in connection with the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a designated terrorist by India, in June 2023.
