As The War In Sudan Continues Into Its Fourth Year, Tensions Escalate

May 11, 2026 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
In the aftermath of the drone attack on the international airport in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, ravaged by a civil war now continuing in its fourth year, the government recalled its ambassador from Ethiopia on May 5, accusing its neighbor of complicity. The attack on May 4 came on the heels of the first international commercial flight landing at the airport since the civil war erupted in April 2023, when the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) turned on its ruling partner, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).​ The airport had sustained heavy damage in the early days of the fighting. It was among the first locations the RSF attacked, before overrunning the SAF’s military bases and much of Khartoum.​

Obama’s Powerpoint Death Parade Led To Trump’s Venezuelan Killings

December 11, 2025 James Bovard, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The Trump administration’s killings of scores of Venezuelans are provoking outrage across the Western Hemisphere. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently proclaimed, “We have only just begun to kill narco-terrorists.” President Trump and Hegseth are cashing a blank check for carnage that was written years earlier by President Barack Obama. In his 2017 farewell address, Obama boasted, “We have taken out tens of thousands of terrorists.” Drone strikes increased tenfold under Obama, helping fuel anti–U.S. backlashes in several nations. As he campaigned for the presidency in 2007, Sen. Barack Obama declared, “We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers.”

November 4, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
AI-powered quadcopter drones used by Israel in its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza are now being used to surveil US citizens, from protestors to spring breakers, in all major US cities, according to a report from the journalist project ¡Do Not Panic! published on 3 November. Hundreds of drones manufactured by the US company Skydio were delivered to Israel after the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023 for use in the strip. Now, they are flying daily above all major US cities, including Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego, Cleveland, and Jacksonville, while automatically uploading millions of images to an evidence database.

Italy’s Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement on 24 September that an Italian navy ship has been redirected towards the Global Sumud Flotilla to provide it with “possible assistance,” after it came under a series of Israeli attacks overnight. The Italian defense minister strongly condemned the overnight drone attacks. Activists on board several of the flotilla’s boats reported at least 10 explosions after witnessing drones launch several attacks early on Wednesday. The boats were situated off the coast of Greece. “Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed, and explosions heard from a number of boats. We are witnessing these psychological operations firsthand, right now, but we will not be intimidated,” Global Sumud Flotilla said.

September 23, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza (ICBSG) said on 21 September that unidentified drones have flown over the Global Sumud Flotilla, with some passing unusually close to the vessels. The group described the activity on Facebook as an “unusual level of drone activity causing concerns.” Volunteers on board confirmed they are preparing for the possibility of Israeli interception, holding nighttime drills as the ships entered the so-called “yellow zone” south of Greece, where Israeli attacks are considered increasingly likely. Organizers said the training focused on nonviolent responses should Israeli forces storm the flotilla as they did with the previous two missions to Gaza.

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) humanitarian mission, now sailing in international waters near Greece before heading to Gaza, has entered its most crucial phase, described as the decisive moment of the entire movement within the coming week. Founder of Cinta Salam Malaysia (CSM), Ahmad Musa Al-Nuwayri Kamaruzaman, who is part of the mission, said the GSF vessel was currently en route to gather with other ships participating in the effort.

I asked the chief executive officer of Cinta Gaza Malaysia, Muhammad Nadir Al-Nuri Kamaruzaman, and he said it may take another four to five days from Greece before reaching Gaza.

Councillors Demand RCV Engines Stop Supplying Components For Israel’s Drones

May 29, 2025 The Canary. , , , , ,
A growing coalition of Dorset councillors demand that local company RCV Engines Ltd immediately halt the export of engine components used in Israeli military drones. Local elected officials have signed an open urging the Dorset-based firm to cease its complicity in Israel’s Gaza genocide. The call follows damning revelations by Declassified UK. The investigative outlet found that RCV supplies engine components to Israel Aerospace Industries’ APUS 25 quadcopter. Israel has used these in deadly attacks on Palestinian civilians, including children, in Gaza. Dorset-based campaign umbrella the Olive Branch Coalition has coordinated the open letter to demand an end to the local company’s complicity.

A Week Long Drone Fight Which Russia Is Winning

May 26, 2025 Moon Of Alabama. , , ,
Over the last seven days the Ukrainian military has launched over one thousand drones against targets in Russia. Most of these were shot down by Russian air defenses. There are no reports of any serious damage. The biggest effect the week long drone attacks achieved was to shut down air traffic in Moscow for several hours. After waiting a few days the Russian military responded in kind. Over the last three days a record number of drones and missiles were launched against military installations and production facilities in Ukraine (archived): Russia stepped up missile-and-drone assaults on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and other regions, killing at least 12 people overnight into Sunday after President Trump last week declined to impose further sanctions on Moscow over its refusal to halt its invasion.

Protestors led by Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and Drone Wars will gather outside the main gates of RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire at 1pm on Saturday 25 January to oppose plans to fly US Global Hawk drones from the base. The protest comes as the newly inaugurated US president Donald Trump once again repeated his plan to ‘Make America Great’ articulating a ‘peace through strength’ foreign policy. The US plan to operate the huge RQ-4 Global Hawk drones from RAF Fairford as part of NATO’s ‘Agile Combat Employment’ (ACE) concept which argues that key military aircraft should be able to operate from different bases in order to make it harder for adversaries to conduct pre-emptive strikes.

Whistleblower Daniel Hale’s First Interview

December 11, 2024 Lee Camp, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Welcome to Dangerous Ideas. Today, I'm excited to talk to whistleblower Daniel Hale. This is his first live interview since being released from prison and you may recall that he was the one who revealed the information that ultimately became the Drone Papers and gave so much information to the American people that we needed to know about our government and about the behavior of our government and our military. For that he received one of the harshest punishments that we've seen for a whistleblower in this country. The stat that sticks with me is that 90% of those killed by drone attacks are unintended targets, meaning innocent people.

Cleveland Police Commission Pushes Through Drone Policy

November 30, 2024 Catherine Henchek, Liberation News. , , , , ,
Community members packed Cleveland’s Community Police Commission meeting on Nov. 20 to oppose a new police drone policy. The policy, spearheaded by Commissioner Piet van Lier, included sections which provide Cleveland police arguments to use drones over protests under the guise of other police operations. After public outrage and a contentious meeting, two authorized drone uses in the policy which could target protesters were removed. However, the policy that was approved by the Commission still included concerning language, such as the following in the Operational Procedures...

Death In The Bekaa Valley

November 27, 2024 Craig Murray, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
On Thursday evening news came through that we had at long last gained the full list of approvals required to travel to report outside Beirut; we were cleared by the Ministry of Information, the Ministry of Defence, and the local authorities. Laith Marouf of Free Palestine TV called me and suggested we go down together on Friday to the southern capital of Nabatieh, which has been enduring heavy bombing. I asked Laith to give me half an hour, and did some quick research. Nabatieh is about 12 miles from the Israeli border and has been devastated by Israeli bombing attacks. In the South of the country some 70,000 homes have been destroyed.
