• Over 100 people were killed, and dozens more injured, after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked the village of Wad al Noora in Sudan’s Gezira state on June 5, officials said.

    UNICEF Executive Director Catherina Russell said in a statement that at least 35 children were killed and 20 others injured during the attacks.

    On June 6, Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council accused the RSF of committing a massacre in the village and killing “a large number of innocents,” while the RSF said they attacked three camps housing elements of the army and intelligence personnel.

    Madani Resistance Committee, a local pro-democracy activists group, put the toll at “more than 104,” and accused the paramilitaries of looting Wad al Noura during the attacks.

    The war between the RSF and the Sudanese army, which broke out in April 2023, has wrecked the country as clashes spread across multiple cities and pushed its population to the brink of famine.

    More than 14,000 people have been killed and thousands more have been wounded, with hundreds of thousands displaced.

  • The wait is over, this isn't a render, this is FINALLY the real 2024 Dodge Charger and it'll be on sale in just a few months! What's new? Well, everything. The HEMI is dead, the Hurricane is offshore, it's a 3-door!? The sedan and coupe will both be called Charger! Say what? AND, it's ENORMOUS! Let's dive into Dodge's announcement!

    First up: as I kept telling you all, the Charger won't just be an EV, so let's start there first. The same 3.0L "Hurricane" twin-turbo inline-6 found in the RAM and Wagoneer will live under this hood wearing (I kid you not) SIXPACK badging. The Sixpack SO is good for 420 horsepower and should deliver performance better than the outgoing Hemi 392 while the Sixpack HO will crank out 550 horsepower and be the most powerful version of this engine so far. At this point, that's about all we know because the gasoline Charger won't be on sale until early 2025, but bet on AWD being an option... Also on sale in 2025? The 4-door Charger, so stay tuned for that one.

    What's on sale soon? That'd be the 2-door... Er, I mean 3-door Charger you see here. Don't let that familiar profile fool you however, this is no re-skinned 2023. The coupe will ring in at an insane 206.6 inches long. That's almost a foot longer than the 2023 Challenger and *longer* than a BMW X7 3-row SUV. How big will the sedan be? I don't know, but I hope it's a boat. Seriously, I love big sedans.

    Under the body we find a 442V, 100.5 kWh lithium ion pack powering twin electric motors rated at 250 kW each. The total output is software determined and will be 456, 496, 630, or 670 horsepower depending on the trim and options. That will allow for a 4.7 to 3.3 second 0-60 sprint, a 1/4 mile in as little as 11.5, and a top speed of 137 MPH. Charging seems intriguingly quick despite the less than flashy 183 kW peak rate. Dodge is saying a 10-80% charge will take just 30 minutes which puts this on par with a Tesla Model S Plaid's charge time.

    Stopping will be handled by ENORMOUS 16.1 inch ventilated rotors front and rear with huge calipers and pads. (Remember, it's heavy thanks to that battery pack: nearly 5,900 lbs). Tires? Equally bonkers. The top trim will get 305/35R20s up front and 325/35R20s in the back *and* the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3
    is anything but a low rolling resistance tire. The toll? Range. We don't have figures for the track pack model yet but the others will range from 317-260 miles depending on the tires you select.

    The interior is, as you'd expect, much, much bigger than a Mustang. Legroom is more than many mid-sized SUVs and the cargo area us nearly 23 cubic feet. Dodge says the hatchback design will let you fit an extra set of wheels and tires in the back for track day.

    The logo? That's new/old. Dodge used to call it a Fratzog (apparently its just a name they made up) but it dates back to the 1960s and 1970s. It seems that changing your logo every decade is a Dodge tradition. Sorry //, it was fun while it lasted.

    How much will it cost? That's anyone's guess but expect the EVs to be expensive and the upcoming gas models to stick much closer to 2023 Challenger pricing. What do you think? Should they have changed the name?

  • Iconic Palestinian artist Fathi Ghaben — who documented the Palestinian resistance with bold, colourful strokes — passed away at the age of 77 in Gaza on January 25 amid a severe shortage of medicines and oxygen after Israeli authorities denied him permission to leave the besieged enclave for medical treatment he urgently required.

    Reportedly suffering from chest and lung problems, Ghaben's death occurred in the midst of Tel Aviv’s brutal war on Gaza, rendering him yet another victim of Israel's genocidal military campaign against Palestinians.

    But amid the challenging conditions of the occupation and with scarce resources, Ghaben created artworks that will continue to inspire resistance and adorn walls across the occupied Palestinian territories.

    "My paintings are not filled with smiles; they are not loud, flashy or without a deep thought. I draw the national Palestinian issues and the reality of the Palestinian struggle," the artist once said.

    He lived his life in a tent and died in a tent, the Palestinian Minister of Culture Atef Abu Saif said in a poignant tribute to the artist. Yet, his artistic presence transcended tents and even borders.

    Today, Fathi Ghaben's words resonate as a representative voice for all Palestinian artists who have endured the heavy tolls of occupation and used their art as an active tool of resistance.

  • Nine countries have paused funding for the UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) following Israeli allegations that some of its staff were involved in Hamas’s October 7 attacks.

    The US, Britain, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Finland have halted funding to the aid agency, a critical source of humanitarian support for over a million displaced people in Palestine’s besieged Gaza suffering from a lack of food, water, medicine and adequate shelter due to Israel’s relentless strikes and ongoing blockade.

    UNRWA addressed the allegations by stating that it had fired several employees over the accusations, promising a thorough investigation into Israel’s claims.
    The Palestinian Foreign Ministry denounced the decision of the key donor countries, calling it a “collective punishment” of the Palestinian people that revealed “miserable double standards”.

    Encouraging more donor suspensions, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said UNRWA should be replaced once fighting in the enclave dies down and accused it of having ties with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas in Gaza.

    Amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, UNRWA has played a key role in providing aid and shelter to displaced Palestinians through its 700 schools across the enclave.
    UNRWA was initially set up to help refugees of the 1948 Nakba, when over 700,000 Palestinians were violently expelled from their homes during the founding of the State of Israel, and now employs tens of thousands of people, providing education, health and aid services to Palestinians in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

  • Facts about Tiger of Mysore Tipu Sultan:

    * He was the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore from 1782 to 1799.
    * He was also known as the "Tiger of Mysore" for his military prowess and his fierce resistance to British rule.
    * He was a skilled military strategist and tactician, and he is credited with introducing a number of innovations to the art of warfare, including the use of iron-cased rockets.
    * He was also a patron of the arts and sciences, and he founded a number of schools and libraries.
    * He was a Muslim ruler, but he was tolerant of other religions and he promoted religious harmony in his kingdom.
    * He was martyred in battle in 1799 by the British East India Company.

    * He was born in Devanahalli, Karnataka, India, on November 20, 1750.
    * His father, Hyder Ali, was the Sultan of Mysore and a powerful military leader.
    * Tipu Sultan was educated in both the Islamic and Western traditions.
    * He was married to Fatima Begum, the daughter of the Nizam of Hyderabad.
    * He had three sons and two daughters.

  • "Peace be upon Masjid Al Aqsa"

    Mahya lights illuminating Istanbul’s Taksim Mosque convey a message of solidarity with the Palestinian resistance in light of the violent assault on Palestinian worshippers by Israeli forces in Al Aqsa Mosque.

  • Israeli troops have once again attacked Al Aqsa, the third holiest site for Muslims, during the holy month of Ramadan.

    Not only does Al Aqsa and its compound stand as a symbol of Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation, but the mosque is also highly significant for Muslims. Therefore, every Israeli attack on the sanctuary is seen not just as an attack on Palestinians, but also as an attack on Islam.

    Here is what makes the place so significant within the Islamic faith.
