#Sudan πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡©: during a speech today #RSF warlord #Hemedti was trying to save his own skin by saying he regretted his role in the #SudanCoup.

He stated the coup of October 25th was a mistake which opened the door for the former regime (Bashir loyalists) to return to power. Image
#Sudan πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡©: meanwhile #Khartoum based Resistance Committees are calling for anti-military protests on 21 February. Image

#Palestine πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ: horribly bloody day in the occupied #WestBank today as Israeli forces killed 10 Palestinians and injured over 100 with live ammunition during a raid in the city of #Nablus.

Ages of those killed range from 16 to 72 years old.
#Palestine πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ: as this CCTV footage shows some of the Palestinians who were killed today were civilians.

Like this man who was running away from gunfire when an Israeli sniper struck him down
#Palestine πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ: another civilian who was killed by the Israeli forces was 72-year-old Adnan Baara. He was shot in the old center of #Nablus.

He had no affiliation to Lion's Den or any armed group. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#Sudan πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡©: a deal has been reached in order to end the #SudanCoup which has been going on for over a year now.

Both the #FFC and the military have agreed to a 24-month transition, under the leadership of a civilian PM, with elections at the end.

But there's a but πŸ‘‡
#Sudan πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡©: just as with the previous transition deal there is very little that holds either #Burhan or #Hemedti to honor their promises, meaning the country is and remains very vulnerable to another #SudanCoup at any moment.

There is also no mention of any reform of the military
#Sudan πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡©: the Resistance committees, which were the backbone of the December Revolution have already voiced their opposition to the deal since it doesn't include any framework to bring justice to the 110+ protesters who were killed since the #SudanCoup.

#Syria: incredible scenes from the city of #Suwayda today as protesters have stormed the governorate office, setting fire to several regime vehicles and tearing down #Assad portraits
#Syria: this is what happened when regime forces tried to break up the on-going protest in the center of #Suwayda.
#Syria: regime forces eventually opened fire on the crowd in #Suwayda, killing at least one protester.

These videos are very reminiscent of 2011.

#Iran BREAKING: Evin Prison in #Tehran, the country's most notorious prison which is filled with countless political detainees is on fire tonight.

BREAKING: #Armenia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡² and #Azerbaijan πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ώ have agreed to sign a formal peace deal which includes an official delimitation of the border by the end of the year.
This deal (if successfully followed through) would be a major diplomatic victory for the European Union.

Just last week intens negotiations between πŸ‡¦πŸ‡²πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ώ were taking place under πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί supervision. The Kremlin was completely left out of the process
News of a possible deal does not mean that peace in the #Caucasus is within reach. The #Kremlin could try to spoil an agreement, #Aliyev is still an expansionist authoritarian, and the future status of #NagornoKarabakh will probably remain undetermined.
