Sudan's Growing Crisis: Famine, Displacement, and Unprecedented Suffering
According to the United Nations, Sudan is grappling with widespread famine, with five regions already affected, including three in North Darfur. By May, the famine is expected to spread to five more districts. The African Union has described the situation as "the worst humanitarian crisis in the world." The UAE's move comes as part of a broader commitment to supporting Sudan and Africa. In April 2024, the UAE had already allocated $100 million to UN agencies and humanitarian organizations to aid Sudan. The country also played a crucial role by establishing an air bridge to Sudan and neighboring Chad, delivering critical humanitarian assistance since the conflict's outset.
UAE's Ongoing Support: A Long-Term Commitment
The UAE's assistance to Sudan has been extensive. Since the conflict began, the UAE has contributed $130 million to humanitarian efforts, along with sending 9,500 tons of food and medical supplies via 148 flights and a ship carrying 1,000 tons of emergency aid. Additionally, the UAE has supported Sudanese refugees in Chad and South Sudan, providing food aid through the World Food Programme (WFP).
As one of the main humanitarian donors to Sudan and Africa, the UAE's efforts reflect its ongoing commitment to providing vital support in times of crisis. Through its leadership, the UAE hopes to inspire regional and international partners to join the cause and help mitigate the devastating impact of Sudan's ongoing humanitarian emergency.
Iran's Dangerous Expansion: The Growing Threat in Sudan and Its Global Consequences
Iran is establishing another Hamas-like entity in Sudan, mirroring its creation of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces. This group, known as "Kizan," maintains ties to Hamas, Hezbollah, and African branches of Al Qaeda. If Iran's allies gain full control over Sudan, Iran will have effectively tightened its grip on Israel's southern flank, adding yet another hostile front to the region. For the United States, this presents a grave national security challenge. Israel will be forced to request more U.S. missile interceptors and military support.
American stockpiles are already strained, and prolonged U.S. involvement in regional conflicts carries significant risks. Meanwhile, Iran-backed militants threaten maritime security, increasing drone and missile attacks on U.S. and allied shipping in the Red Sea. With both Yemen and Sudan as potential launch points, Iran's influence is expanding in a way that threatens global trade. The closure or disruption of Red Sea shipping routes would render the Suez Canal nearly useless, forcing oil and gas shipments to reroute around Africa—raising costs, delaying supplies, and worsening inflation in the United States.
The Biden administration's failure to act decisively has emboldened Iran and endangered both Israel and American strategic interests.

Hamas releases 6 Israeli hostages promised under first stage of cease-fire deal
Hamas on Saturday released all six remaining living Israeli hostages promised under the first stage of the ongoing cease-fire deal — as one heartbroken family finally received the remains of a mother murdered in terrorist captivity.
The two newly freed hostages — Tal Shoham and Avera Mengistu — were received by members of the International Committee to the Red Cross at the handover site in Rafah in southern Gaza.
Eliya Cohen, Omer Shem Tov and Omer Wenkert were released at Nuseirat in the Gaza Strip later on Saturday. All three have since arrived at an IDF facility near the Israel-Gaza border and are receiving medical treatment.

But, like drug cartels, the terrorists move in and put food on the table, and the people love them.
Bomb them along with the terrorists; who cares.

Iran Rushing to Build Nuclear Bomb: West, Act NOW
by Majid RafizadehMarch 8, 2025 at 5:00 am
- Iran has also been installing more advanced centrifuges, increasing its capacity to enrich uranium faster than ever.
- The Iranian regime appears to believe that nuclear weapons will give it leverage to silence opposition at home and deter any foreign intervention that could threaten its rule.
- A nuclear-armed Iran poses an existential threat not only to the "Little Satan," Israel, and the "Great Satan," the US, but to all the oil-rich Gulf countries in the Middle East.
- The task is not just about protecting Israel, Europe and the US; it is about preventing.... the mother of all arms-races throughout the Middle East.
- The least the West can do is help to prevent one of the most dangerous regimes on Earth from obtaining weapons of mass destruction – before it proceeds to a nuclear breakout.
Over 160 civilians from the same religious minority community as deposed Syrian dictator Assad have been executed by Sunni extremists. Videos online show bodies being dragged on streets. Leftists who say they care about Arab human rights have been quiet.

Gaza received many billions in aid since 2007. In all that time and with all that money, they did not build a power generator; instead, they dug elaborate tunnels and built rockets in order to kill Jews. Why not build a power plant? Because they knew the Jews they want to murder would provide it to them for free.
Do Not Be Fooled By Hamas's 'Long-Term Ceasefire' Ploy
- As part of the deception, according to the IDF report, Hamas was working to convince Israel that it was interested in calm and was working for economic prosperity. The IDF investigation concluded that Hamas had planned the October 7 attack for more than 10 years.
- Today, everyone knows that the talk about a long-term truce was nothing but a smokescreen to conceal Hamas's real intention of launching its October 7 attack against Israel.
- Hamas anyway is not known for honoring ceasefire agreements.... On July 26, 2014, Hamas announced a 24-hour humanitarian ceasefire at 14.00. Hamas violated its own ceasefire a short time later.
- For Hamas, a hudna is a temporary break from war -- it does not indicate a desire to end it and achieve peace. While Hamas was talking, for ten years before October 7, 2023, about its desire to reach a long-term truce, it was busy preparing for the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
- It is plainly uninformed to believe that Hamas would ever lay down its weapons and agree to end its jihad (holy war) against Israel.
- The Trump administration is advised to listen to what Hamas leaders say in Arabic to their own people, and not what they tell US officials during secret meetings in Qatar. Earlier this month, for instance, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri, speaking in Arabic, reassured his people that his group rejects demands by Israel and the US to disarm...
- A ceasefire deal will allow Hamas to remain in power and prepare more massacres against Israel. The only solution for the current crisis is for Hamas to disarm, cede control over the Gaza Strip and leave the Palestinian arena.
Hamas Alarmed About Emigration of Young Gazans
Now the IDF has found Hamas documents revealing the terror group’s great worry: that the young people in Gaza don’t want to remain where they are; they are sick of being used as human shields, sick of the war begun by Hamas on October 7, sick of being forced to remain among the rubble because of threats from Hamas. They want better lives — can you blame them? — and for now, those lives are not to be found among the rubble and the live explosives of a devastated Gaza. More on Hamas’ alarm over the growing desire of the young to better their lot by leaving Gaza can be found here: “Foreign barbarians and assimilation: Hamas deeply concerned about Gazans emigrating, doc. reveals,” by Anna Barsky, Jerusalem Post, February 7, 2025
In Gaza, the unemployment rate has reached a staggering 80%. Like homes, businesses too, lie in ruins. The Gazans’ homes are unlivable — either reduced to rubble, or containing unexploded ordnance — and they do not have the money, or equipment, or know-how, either to clear the land or to rebuild. The young people see no way to a better life as long as they remain in Gaza. Many of them want out.
Hamas is appealing to the young people’s sense of duty as Muslims. They must uphold Islamic values, which means they must remain in Gaza to fight the Infidel Zionists who are occupying Muslim land, no matter how difficult the conditions of their lives become. They should see themselves as warriors for Islam, jihadis, with a religious duty that must outweigh all considerations of private well-being.
Yes, but they’re still Muslims.
As they venture out around the world, they will spread the Islamic disease of mayhem, destruction and death, wherever they go.
