Sudanese Echo Obtains Exclusive Videos of Strikes on 200-Vehicle Convoy in UAE Supply Operation to the Rapid Support Militia Through Chad
Sudanese Echo has obtained three exclusive videos documenting a series of Sudanese army drone strikes on a major convoy belonging to the UAE-backed Rapid Support Militia near Sudan’s border with Chad.
The footage shows the drones pursuing and directly striking combat vehicles while they are moving. It also captures Rapid Support Militia fighters attempting to shoot down the drones before they and their vehicles are directly hit.
The three videos show only a small sample of a much larger operation. According to a source who spoke exclusively to Sudanese Echo, the targeted convoy comprised around 200 fully crewed and armed combat vehicles. It was heading toward Darfur before continuing to the battlefronts in Kordofan.
The source said the drones engaged the convoy with high precision, destroying dozens of vehicles during the operation. Sudanese Echo has not been able to independently verify the final number of vehicles destroyed or the number of fighters killed or wounded.
The operation is particularly significant because of its location near the Chadian border. The size of the convoy, its weaponry and the route it was taking raise serious questions about the regional supply network that continues to provide the militia with fighters, vehicles and weapons.
Dozens of reports and investigations by UN bodies, international media outlets and human rights organisations have documented supply routes passing through Chad and Libya, alongside mounting evidence and testimony concerning the UAE’s role in financing these networks, arming the militia and sustaining its ability to continue the war. The appearance of a convoy comprising around 200 vehicles in this area indicates that these routes continue to serve as a major military lifeline for the militia, despite its widening record of atrocities against civilians and growing international demands to halt the flow of weapons.
Had the convoy reached its intended destinations in Darfur and Kordofan, it would have significantly strengthened the militia’s ability to intensify its military operations. Given its documented record in areas it has overrun, the arrival of another 200 armed vehicles would have posed a direct threat to civilians, enabling further attacks on towns and villages, killings, terror, looting, sieges and forced displacement, while prolonging the war and deepening Sudan’s humanitarian catastrophe.
The operation comes amid intensifying fighting across Kordofan, where the Rapid Support Militia has been attempting to move additional fighters, vehicles and military equipment from Darfur to replace its losses and contain growing pressure on its forces across several battlefronts.

Perfect moves by our national military, these terrorists should never see a moment of peace.
We should never pay attention to phony UN that is part of the destabilizing forces in our country.

This is America who has the nerve to condemn and criticize “third world nations” while you have your citizens living in those “similar” conditions in the so-called richest nation on earth.
This is why I will forever keep up the awareness of our people in this country to view our progress with a bottom-up assessment. The masses of our people are living in “third world conditions” in America.
There is nothing wrong with modifying a position you once held based on new factual information. But there is something wrong when you don't have a basic foundation of core beliefs to stand on. You can't be trusted or taken seriously.
Constant rebranding, trend following and frequent changing of an identity are signs of frivolous behavior.
It's like standing in quicksand where you have to hop around to the next "trend" before you crumble.
Democracy: Leaders have four years mainly to prepare for the next election.
African leaders need:
-Time to settle godfathers,
-Time to appease Western masters,
-Time to crush the opposition party.
What time do they have left to actually do their job?
"Ten men can be sitting at a table eating, you know, dining, and I can come and sit down where they're dining. They're dining; I've got a plate in front of me, but nothing is on it. Because all of us are sitting at the same table, are all of us diners? I'm not a diner until you let me dine. Then I become a diner. Just being at the table with others who are dining doesn't make me a diner, and this is what you've got to get in your head here in this country.
Just because you're in this country doesn't make you an American. No, you've got to go farther than that before you can become an American. You've got to enjoy the fruits of Americanism. You haven't enjoyed those fruits. You've enjoyed the thorns. You've enjoyed the thistles. But you have not enjoyed the fruits, no sir.
You have fought harder for the fruits than the white man has. You have worked harder for the fruits than the white man has, but you've enjoyed less."
Malcolm X, Detroit MI, Feb 14, 1965
"Dust" by @AdhiamboKE is about PEV.
It takes a philosophical sophistication to engage with tragedy. But the Kenyan intellect has been thoroughly twisted by the British elitism to be cultishly simplistic, like the mob that is hounding Prof Arday. Us we do problems and solutions, and being positive. Tragedy requires a different maturity that is viciously fought against in Kenya.
How do I know?
I once asked a class to listen to a performance of Lwanda Magere and write a response. Some said the story teaches us how women in traditional Africa are relegated to housework, others said it teaches the youth to listen to the elders if they want to succeed. Nobody saw the hero and his story.
The British school system and the Kenya government have programmed our minds so well. We look at everything in terms of solutions, alignment to policy, motivational speaking, and ethnic identity. For Kenyans, the problem of colonialism was that it was foreign, not that it was oppressive. Anything outside that, we really, really struggle. We call it too theoretical for practical use.
@Deee_luul Turkey is using Somalia, the early you people understand that the better.
Turkey is in Somalia to extract resources and test their weapons. The only confuse people here are the Somalis wether in the country or outside!
Disappointed the BBC cancelled my interview on Israel's killing of Hind Rajab
2 producers eagerly reached out. They confirmed the time & one called to prepare a brief for the anchor
She asked me whether Israel's announcement is positive, I explained in detail it was a cover up.
The IDF is blaming the killing of Hind, her uncle, aunt & 4 cousins on the family itself for trying to flee by car & on the ambulance sent to rescue her for "failures in the co-ordination of the movement."
None of this is remotely true! The Red Cross immediately informed the IDF about 5-year-old Hind who was hiding in that motionless car, & they requested permission from Israel to allow an ambulance to rescue them.
After multiple long hours, Israel granted greenlight to the ambulance & provided them with a designated route on a GPS to drive on.
As soon as the ambulance reached Hind's car, the IDF ambushed & bombed them immediately with an American made anti-tank missile then opened fire on Hind's car. The car was hit with 355 bullets.
Israel then kept that area under lockdown for 12 days, & prevented anyone from approaching.
Hind's mom went daily to the Ahli baptist hospital hoping to find her daughter, until her lifeless body was brought in along with the charred remains of the ambulance men.
Israel then claimed after an "initial investigation" that its troops were NEVER in that area to begin with. They maintained that claim for 2 years despite ample recordings & satellite images debunking this lie.
The only reason Israel is now making this new announcement of a deeper investigation is to shield its soldiers & generals from the International Criminal Court by invoking the principle of "complementarity;" that the ICC cannot investigate a state that is already investigating itself in good faith.
I told the BBC producer Israel today also quietly shut down the investigation into the triple tap killing of American, Canadian, British, Australian & Polish citizens in the WCK massacre. Israel blamed the massacre on the aid workers themselves for "deviating from the predesignated route" & for hiring an armed security guard "without informing the IDF" (both claims where debunked by WCK themselves, who had coordinates their every step with the IDF).
I told the producer the Israeli commander responsible for this massacre, Nochi Mendel, is a fanatical settler who had signed a petition calling for starving Gaza & that he was celebrated by settler leaders & supported by Israeli government leaders after what he did.
Mendel even received a box of chocolate from the settler council's leader & a letter of support for what he did.
Mendel was initially dismissed by the IDF & blamed for the massacre, but was quickly & quietly reinstated & promoted in the Defence Ministry as the head of the settlements and national infrastructure unit.
It's abundantly clear Israel is NOT serious about prosecuting any of the atrocities committed in Gaza. Since the genocide began, only two soldiers were punished by the IDF; one for microwaving a living frog & another for cooking sausages in the army kitchen on Shabbat.
The producer asked me: What about the 150 cases the IDF said are pending review?
I answered: it's just a number designed to give the appearance of seriousness, but it's essentially meaningless.
If it took the IDF two whole years to admit the simplest of facts that the entire world had already known, which is that their troops were the ones who fired on Hind Rajab's car, how do you expect them to do with the remaining cases that are not as high profile?
Five minutes after the call, the producer wrote me that they decided to cancel the interview & will not even host anyone else to comment on the issue, & instead they'll play archival footage!
The moment at 11.31pm last night when our neighbors connected their 2135MW Julius Nyerere Hydropower Station to the rest of their grid.

Amid reports of a SAF strike on an RSF supply convoy today, satellite imagery confirms a strike inside Chad 🇹🇩, ~78 km from the Sudanese border 🇸🇩, with at least 39 burn scars & vehicle fires visible.
Significant if carried out by SAF due to its scale and location inside Chad.
Namibia has terminated a $2.4 million contract with US agricultural technology firm 6th Grain Corporation to use AI and satellite imagery to monitor the country’s crops, following a government review that found the agreement failed to meet required legal and procedural standards.
If you were calling yourself a Pan-Africanist without meeting or working with Africans from the continent, then you weren't doing any actual Pan-African work to begin with which reinforces my point. A lot of people just threw on dashikis and believed that was enough.
The same people became disillusioned and are now hiding behind "delineation" to cope with their failed efforts at Pan-Africanism, but the problem is that they don't truly delineate from Pan-African spaces and discussions. They are always complaining about Pan-Africanism because at their core they are still hurt by the fact that wearing dashikis didn't fix the insecurity and identity crisis that they were struggling with. They rejected Pan-Africanism, but they also can't fully delineate from Pan-Africanism because past disappointment still hurts them. That's why they are often so miserable.
@blackdetta@DOmowale An overwhelming majority of FBAs don’t talk like this outside of Twitter. This is all tough guy Twitter talk. Yall don’t even talk like this on your other social media sites but we noticed yall didn’t mind identifying with Africa even tho it may have been a fad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The people who call themselves FBA are a textbook example of my point. Many of them were superficially Pan-African to sell DVDs or to fit in with the consciousness trend of the 2010s. It wasn't a serious movement for them then and many of them aren't serious now.
