Fierce fighting has ripped through Khartoum, shattering hopes for a peaceful transition to civilian rule in Sudan. A power struggle between military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Dagalo aka Hemeti, is at the centre of the violence, with forces loyal to the generals vying for control. However, it's also a proxy war for wider competing interests, as Egypt backs Burhan and the UAE backs Hemeti.
Meanwhile, is it a coincidence the USA stands to benefit from the upheaval? Plans for a Russian naval base in Sudan are now in jeopardy. But, whatever happens, it’s the Sudanese people that are losing the most with hundreds already killed.

TOO CURVY TO TEACH?
A New Jersey art teacher is being hounded out of her job for her Instagram posts. Parents say she looks too racy, and shouldn’t be doing it from class - while her defenders say it’s racism, and she can’t change her natural form. Judge for yourself.

CHAD NATIONALISES EXXON
Wow. Chad has nationalised all assets from multinational oil giant Exxon Mobil after a long dispute over their sale. It’s a bold move that could see N'Djamena rake in greater energy-trade profits. Or will it just frighten off investors?

10 WARS, MILLIONS KILLED, 1 NOBEL
Americans disagree on many things but not on foreign policy. Here are Republicans and Democrats together, all smiles in a photo. From the country that brought you, '500,000 dead Iraqi children was worth it' (Madeleine Albright) here's an image with 4 presidents in frame. During their time in office, they launched a total of 10 wars, which left millions dead. Obama, for his part, received the Nobel Peace Prize before he could really show what he could do, launching a war in Libya that left tens of thousands dead and led to Black Africans being sold in open slave markets.

STOP SUDAN SLAUGHTER
A Sudanese woman vents her rage at the two sides fighting it out in her country, destroying the lives of innocent civilians in their wake.
She says the generals at the centre of the conflict are motivated by greed and power, and not the needs of the people. Before the latest outbreak of violence, Sudan was already struggling with high inflation and unemployment. Nearly 300 civilians have been killed and over 2,600 injured since fighting erupted at the weekend between the army and paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

FRANCE DEPORTS AFRICANS WITHIN AFRICA
Unbelievable, but France is dictating where Africans can go - in Africa. And causing a tonne of human misery to boot. The French government is poised to begin mass deportations from the island of Mayotte - claimed by both France and the rest of the Comoros archipelago. It’s removing migrants who came from the surrounding islands and demolishing the slums they live in. 500 extra French police have already been deployed to get the job done. And they say colonialism ended!

HUMAN ZOOS
Six decades ago, Africans were exhibited at the World Trade Fair in Brussels. It was a human zoo. However, research shows most Belgians still think Congo benefitted from Belgium’s colonial rule. Maybe people need a reminder of what happened?

The U.S Defence Department said on Thursday that the U.S is deploying additional troops to an East African base in case they are needed to evacuate U.S. diplomatic officials or civilians from Sudan.
The announcement has caused concern for many Sudanese people that a Grenada style operation might be in the works.
It would be appropriate if @StateDeptSpox could confirm to all Sudanese people, at home and abroad, that is not what is happening and they won't be boots on the ground in #Sudan.

THE WEST & RWANDA'S GENOCIDE
Rwanda's genocide was unleashed 29 years ago. Ever since, it has been used as justification for Western countries to intervene militarily elsewhere. What's ignored is the West's hand in stoking the ethnic divisions that spiralled into those hundred days of genocidal horror. Moreover, on 21st April, the UN reduced its peacekeeping force by 90 percent - from 2,500 to just 270. This went against its own 'responsibility to protect' doctrine, used to justify humanitarian interventions.
