Mercy and forgiveness for our righteous martyrs, who sacrificed their precious souls for freedom, and for our falsely accused detainees and those unlawfully detained behind the bars of the coup prisons. A speedy recovery for the wounded and injured, and the speedy return of the missing to their families and loved ones. We pray that God give them patience and reunite them with their sons and daughters.

Our honorable people, our free revolutionaries, we salute you as we wage war against the coup d’état and all their desperate means and methods to attack the glorious revolution, but no way.

As a result, Khartoum State Resistance Committees Coordinations informs you that their statements and schedules are only published on the coordination’s official pages and platforms, and there is no other page or platforms other than the pages you are already familiar with, which are titled with the names of each coordination separately.

This notice is being issued in response to the appearance of parallel pages speaking in the name of (Khartoum State Coordination) in an attempt to split ranks, disperse opinion, and dissipate the effort made by the forces of the revolution and resistance committees.

We describe these attempts by the anti-revolutionary forces as cheap, cowardly, and desperate.  We know they couldn’t and won’t be able to do anyone but deceive themselves, and we are confident that these tricks will not deceive our people, who have the highest levels of awareness and are able to distinguish between the bad and the good, as well as between truth and falsehood.

We also encourage you to take action against these fabricated pages by combating them and reporting them in accordance with the policies of social networking sites.

Opinion: A tiny spark could now start an armed conflict over Ukraine

Today, the best friend for enemies is panic in our country, and all this information, which only helps panic, does not help us. There is too much information about deep full-scale war… Even the relevant dates are already being said” – President Volodymyr Zelensky (12.02.2022)

They used to say that when Moscow sneezes, Kyiv catches a cold. In the recent days and months, heck, years that have been the truth. As the Russians has annexed Crimea in 2014 and supported separatist militias who controls parts on the Donbass region, which is the Donetsk and Luhansk on the border to Russia.

As we know the Russian army have moved thousands of soldiers to the border regions of Ukraine. We have also seen on social media movement of mechanical divisions, as the Russians claim to have military exercises, but for many it seems like gearing up for an invasion.

The United States said yesterday we are only days away from an invasion. As the Russian plans to invade in the coming days. That’s why western dignitaries and envoys are now leaving Kyiv in rampant speed. While the fear and intimidation is growing. The possible propaganda could grow stronger.

Some are already wise and considerate like Ilya Nuzov:

While everyone is trying to compute whether Putin will plunge Europe into a full scale war, we should be cognizant of the fact that Russia is already in breach of the UN Charter Art. 2(4) prohibition of the threat to use force against the territorial integrity of Ukraine” (Ilya Nuzov, 12.02.2022).

What we should worry about is how the United States and Russia spins this. The victim here nevertheless is Ukraine and Ukrainians. They sovereign state is under fire and their legitimate government is tested by the superpowers on both sides of the Atlantic. US has NATO and the allies are encircling Russia and Ukraine. However, the invasion would give Russian an advantage, as Ukraine has a smaller army and it will take time for US friendly forces to be moved to the front-line from Germany or other bases across the world. This is directly starting a new war in Europe and continuing the warfare, which has been going on for years in Ukraine.

It is like Putin wants control of all the former Soviet nations and some he has lost to European Union and NATO. Still, his afraid that Kyiv will be gone like the Baltic’s. He needs Minsk and Kyiv on his side.

We should worry about misinformation and disinformation, as well as calculated messages of propaganda. This is all part of the stories written and giving reasons for a military conflict. Nobody wants to be the villain and the one violating international laws. Therefore, we can await sudden spark and change before the final blow that set it off. This is if history has given us any lessons. However, it isn’t a good sign that so many troops and military brigades is encircling Ukraine from the Russian side of the border.

It would be irresponsible to wage war, a war only cause harm and devastation. Just as the damage and continued warpath in the separatist regions shows what is at stake. The strong brother here is Russia and Moscow. They have the weaponry and the ability to overrun Ukraine with easy. The allies of NATO and the West can only retaliate with smaller troops and ammunition. They will only come with back-up after the Russian already has entered Kyiv. That is tragic, but the mere reality here.

Putin and Biden has to keep up with diplomatic efforts to end the tensions. There is a need for Zelensky to also participate and ensure the sovereign right of Ukraine is respected by all parties. As they are the possible victim of all this. Putin doesn’t want loose influence in his neighbourhood. Just like the US wouldn’t enjoy losing power in Latin America. Where the US has had several of coups over the years to get puppets into power. Therefore, the US should understand the worry of Moscow. However, we know that Washington D.C. is a hypocritical government and sees things one-sided. Not like Moscow doesn’t do the same either, but they are not sending the warning shot, which sparks fear everywhere.

Yes, the Russians has sent the military to the border, which is an escalation. The US is furthering it and it doesn’t become better. When things are this dire, it only take one wrong death or one side-show to suddenly decree the start of the war. That should worry anyone and not only come out on a Friday evening with full bravado and supposed intelligence, which can be hogwash and lies. As the CIA and the US has lied for excuses for wars themselves before. That’s why this isn’t making things better…

There is no place that needs war. Eastern Europe doesn’t need more conflict and this will only harm the whole West and Ukraine will suffer the most. Nobody will win in this war and a lot of people will loose their lives over a unnecessary conflict, which could have been avoided. Peace.

The Empire Strikes Back: Biden taking Afghanistan’s reserves for his own causes

Afghanistan Map

President Joe Biden signed an order Friday to free $7 billion in Afghan assets now frozen in the U.S., splitting the money between humanitarian aid for poverty-stricken Afghanistan and a fund for Sept. 11 victims still seeking relief” (NBC4 Washington, 12.02.2022).

The United States of America armed forces invaded Afghanistan post 9-11 in 2001. As a direct attack and retaliation of the attack on American soil on the 11th September 2001. Alas, the US Government and all it’s entities went after Afghanistan government and installed a puppet government in Kabul. That was done to get rid of Al-Qa’ida and stop Taliban from running the government in the Republic.

The US and it’s allies was in the nation for over 20 years, continuously keeping the warfare active and being the bondage of the state. They kept various of vassal cabinets and presidents, which did their bidding. While accepting foreign aid and strings attached to the funds, which it got over the two decades.

The US and allies did plan a retreat and to slow the operation down after being there for two decades. However, the way it went down was unplanned and without any significant delivery. As the empire and all its soldiers left. While the supporters and the ones who fought along the invaders was left stranded. As well, as the US government decided to freeze the state funds and not give those to the new installed government, Taliban.

That is the reality here, as the US troops left the country in the end of August 2021. Now mere months after the Biden Administration who hijacked the government reserves. Are now using it partly to repay the victims of 9-11 and the rest will be donated or given to the NGOs/multi-national aid organizations they see fit. This is a steal and taking another nations government reserves. While deciding it’s fate.

I wonder, if Washington D.C. wouldn’t have taken kindly, if any state had taken it’s federal reserve and played around with it as it deemed fit. Especially, after the same nation had invaded it and kept it in constant warfare for two decades and leaving the Republic in financial distress after it.

So, now that there is possible humanitarian devastation in Afghanistan and a broke government to cover the bills, which is taking away the reserves. The US has decided how to spend it. That is a move of villain. Just like the French gave the former colony Haiti debt distress and a debt it couldn’t recover from after the independence.

In 2022 the US and Biden Administration wants to compete with that and show they are the Empire that strikes back. Because of that, I just have to use a scene from the movie from 1980:

Luke: There’s something not right here… I feel cold. Death.

Yoda: [points to a cave opening beneath a large tree] That place… is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go.

Luke: What’s in there?

Yoda: Only what you take with you” (Star Wars – The Empire Strike Back, 1980).

I am sure we are seeing the same place and feeling the dark side of the force. Because, the freezing of funds and later hijacking it. Isn’t done out the kindness of his heart from Biden or any of cronies in his administration.

No, this is a retaliation and the humanitarian aid is just a mockery of it. As they don’t care and this is sophisticated thieving on an international level and the US should be held capable for this. If anyone else did this, it would have consequences and it would have costs.

The US should actually have paid damages for decades long war, but instead it’s thieving money away from Kabul. This is disgraceful and should be a violation of a sovereign nation, which no nation should be stripped out of. However, the Empire isn’t forgiving and the humiliation of utter failure last year had to be punished. Therefore, they do it monetarily like this. Peace.

Opinion: Kenyatta finally endorse Odinga

As they speak about Jubilee Party’s death, you can also see what the party has been doing. We have been able to achieve much but there are some projects which are not complete, and hence as Jubilee (Party) we are now coming out of the office getting into real politics. And because some were politicking while work was ongoing, we have said we want a coalition unit of like-minded parties and together we join Azimio. We have the candidate, we have the resources and the youth are together with us” – President Uhuru Kenyatta (11.02.2022)

To no surprise… Azimio La Umoja Raila Odinga was endorsed and got a vouch of approval from the incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta. Nobody who has followed Kenyan politics should be shocked this. Ever since the Handshake and the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) these two gentlemen has been intertwined under the political framework and will of power.

Odinga and Kenyatta have worked together in this term and it’s been evident that they have grown close. As these to have made it easy and respectfully ensured no real opposition to the government. While they have created a vacuum for the allies of the Deputy President William Ruto, which has made government’s own suddenly became “opposition” instead. Therefore, anyone who follows should have seen this day coming a mile away.

There is no shocker an awe in the statement of the President. No, it’s just another day of the week and life will go on. Kenyatta just proving what people been saying as Ruto will leave for his United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the remaining ones of Jubilee will go to the Azimio La Umoja. That’s just the way things go, unless a few brave renegades goes to Democratic Action Party – Kenya (DAP-Kenya).

What we are seeing is just the slow tide of strength and the whole machinery of support for Odinga. After how the previous elections has gone. This is totally different… and now other people will be tear-gassed and have issues. Now, things will run smooth and only be a few dramatic ventures, as the state, the most of the governors and everyone else of prominence is running behind Odinga.

Expect the papers, the broadcasters and everyone else to be smoothly and softly speaking about the records of Odinga. They will only mention things in passing and if Ruto’s men bring it up. Nevertheless, they rather go after his ill deeds and mock his attempt for the Presidency. Since, everyone is supposed to be behind Odinga.

That is how things are looking and it’s revealing as the President says Azimio is the thing to go behind. This is the evidence of the whole system working for one cause. It was speculated, but now it’s proven and spoken about from the Head of State. The President is in his right to pick a successor and that has been done before.

However, they have also failed, but Odinga has done this plenty of times before and knows how to spark popularity. Still, he has to show his worth yet again. That he got it and can govern. Since, he has offered and supported Jubilee as a silent company man. Now he will stand up on his own. His big promises and pledges might become impossible with the vast rate of growing debt in the Republic. It is not like his coming in the golden age and with a new net domestic revenue to pay off the debt, which has been accumulated during this presidency.

Odinga still has a campaign and months to the polls. Things might change, but most likely. His the guy and it’s been in the cards for so long now. Time will only tell now…

But this is Baba’s for the taking and Ruto to shock the world, if he suddenly has a street-sweeper to clear the deck in his favour. Peace.
