Sudan The killing of a protester and a police officer, and the Ministry of the Interior announces the arrest of the "murderer" The Sudanese Ministry of Interior announced that it had arrested the "murderer" of police brigadier Ali Brima Hamid, who was killed earlier during the protests that swept Khartoum, in which a protester was killed and several injuries occurred. The Sudanese Ministry of Interior announced, on Thursday evening, that it had arrested the killer of the police chief, Ali Barima Hamid, who was killed earlier during protest demonstrations in the capital, Khartoum. And the police press office stated in a statement that "the killer admitted to committing the crime, and other police security personnel were seriously harmed," according to the Sudanese News Agency. The Interior Ministry indicated that the other suspects are being tracked down. And the police said in a statement, "Police Brigadier General Ali Brima Hammad was martyred while performing his duty to protect the marches of protesters next to the Astak plant (in Khartoum)." The statement added that the police, "while counting the brunt of a martyr of duty, confirms that the protection and safety of the homeland is without it, humiliation and souls, and that the march of the martyrs of duty is continuing in the service of the citizen and his safety." In the context, a Sudanese police source told Anadolu Agency that "the officer was responsible for distributing forces in the Sheroni area in central Khartoum, and when their stocks of tear gas ran out, a group of demonstrators attacked them." The source, who preferred not to be identified because he was not authorized to tell the media, added that "the officer was stabbed with a knife by some demonstrators, and he died before arriving at the police hospital for medical treatment." There was no immediate comment from the authorities and forces organizing the demonstrations regarding the officer's killing. On the other hand, the Sudanese Doctors Committee announced, on Thursday, that a second person was killed by security bullets in protests in the city of Omdurman, west of the capital, Khartoum, calling for "civilian rule." The (non-governmental) committee said in a statement: "The soul of a second martyr, whose data has not yet been identified, has risen." The statement accused what it described as the "revolutionary authority" of firing live bullets at the protester during his participation in the demonstrations on January 6 (Thursday), in the city of Omdurman, west of Khartoum. There was no immediate comment from the security authorities in this regard. He added, "This brings the number of martyrs killed by the coup machine to 59." Earlier on Thursday, Khartoum and other cities witnessed demonstrations calling for "full civilian rule" in the country, at the invitation of forces and bodies, including the "Coordination of the Khartoum Resistance Committees" (activists in the neighborhoods), the Association of Professionals (the leader of the protest movement) and the "Forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change" (The former ruling coalition). These demonstrations coincide with efforts made by the United Nations and the East African Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) to facilitate dialogue between all parties to find a radical solution to the crisis in Sudan. Since last October 25, Sudan has witnessed protests in response to exceptional measures taken by the army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, most notably the imposition of a state of emergency and the dissolution of the Sovereignty Council and the Transitional Ministers, which political forces consider a “military coup” in exchange for the army's denial.

Spain: There is no date for the Prime Minister's visit to Rabat... and we are adopting the method of waiting to build relations with Morocco on "clear foundations" The Spanish Foreign Minister, Jose Manuel Alparis, reiterated once again the need to wait in resuming relations with Morocco permanently as long as past mistakes are not overcome, and he ruled out any role in the thorny crisis between Morocco and Algeria. Talks have returned in Spain and Morocco to the quality of relations prevailing at the present time due to the failure of the Prime Minister of Madrid, Pedro Santic to visit Rabat, and then the freezing of exchange of visits in a remarkable manner unprecedented in recent decades, and the absence of strong indications of a normal resumption that is reflected in the return of visits and mainly the return of the Moroccan ambassador to Spain. There have been no visits between Morocco and Spain at the ministerial level since 2020. On Wednesday of this week, Espanyol newspaper addressed the crisis again through statements by Foreign Minister Alparis, who said that there was no specific date for Pedro Santís' visit to Rabat and the reception of King Mohammed VI. He went on to justify the delay caused by Madrid's unwillingness to quickly resume relations on wrong grounds, adding that relations with Morocco are strategic and must be built on clear foundations in line with the 21st century. These statements are added to others on Tuesday of this week in which he expressed Spain's dissatisfaction with the level of cooperation Existing with Morocco in the fight against irregular migration. This is the first time that an explicit insinuation has been made about the need for greater commitment on the part of Morocco, bearing in mind that the previous statements were all encouragement and praise for Morocco's role. These positions come with what is being promoted in the Spanish diplomatic circles about the need to wait in restoring relations in order to avoid mistakes that occurred in the past. Madrid demands Morocco's commitment not to repeat the entry of thousands of Moroccans to Ceuta, as happened last May. It seems that Madrid is not in a hurry regarding the return of the Moroccan ambassador, Karima Benyaich, to Madrid, and leaves the date of return to Morocco at will. It is clear from these developments that there has been a change in Spain’s vision of its southern neighbor, and this came in the document of the “Spanish National Security Strategy” approved by the Madrid government at the end of last December, using terms that are almost “provocative” to Rabat by talking about the need for what it called “sincere cooperation.” Then focus on a strategy for the occupied cities of Ceuta and Melilla to confront what it considered Morocco’s plans. In the light of these developments, especially in light of Morocco’s persistence in its positions of not resuming relations except with a soft position on Spain in the Western Sahara conflict, at least not opposing any initiative within the European Union that gives preference to autonomy, then Spain’s insistence on a new vision based on obtaining On guarantees from Morocco in areas such as immigration, political circles interested in the future of bilateral relations see the need for a third party to enter into mediation and bring the views closer. Practically, all the non-public negotiations have so far failed, and then the friendship and good-neighbourliness agreement signed in the early 1990s did not work to contain this conflict, and relations exist in a state that has become a technical rupture due to the freezing of exchange of visits even at the level of secondary officials and not only at the level of ministers. There are no candidate countries to play a mediating role at the present time, and there was talk about France, but it has ruled out any role. Rather, its relations with Morocco are experiencing a noticeable coldness as a result of the “Pegasus” file, as there are no visits between Rabat and Paris at the level of ministerial officials. And if Spanish officials are making statements in Parliament and to the media, Morocco remains silent without issuing any explanatory statement, and it seems, in turn, that it did not receive guarantees from Spain about the Sahara until the ambassador returns. The crisis erupted between the two countries against the backdrop of Western Sahara. In light of this, it is not possible to wait for any role for Spain to mediate between Morocco and Algeria to overcome the thorny crisis between them that culminated in the severing of relations last August, which was stressed by Foreign Minister Al-Paris, according to Espanyol, who said that no one asked him to do so. . Algeria's mediation will be meaningless at a time when the normality of relations between Rabat and Madrid has not been restored.

A mistake in saluting the flag and a match that ends prematurely “scandals” shake the nations of Africa The African Cup of Nations (Cannes) in Cameroon 2022 drew the indignation of many followers and participating teams. After the scandal of ending the match between Tunisia and Mali prematurely, and the mistakes that accompanied the playing of the Mauritanian flag salute, the scandals multiplied in a cycle threatened by many security risks. Even before its launch, many doubts arose about Cameroon's ability to host the African Nations Cup in 2022, after the country's precedents in apologizing for organizing similar tournaments, the last of which was in 2019. The content of these doubts focused mainly on the readiness of the Cameroonian sports and hotel infrastructure, in addition to the readiness of the human factor after two years of the pandemic. While there is an aspect of realism in this, which has been proven by the session since its inception as it creates the event with organizational errors that amount to scandals. After what happened in the match between Tunisia and Mali, where the referee ended it five minutes before the end of the legal time, the match between Mauritania and Gambia knew mistakes in playing the flag salute of the Arab team. Prior to these two events, a team of Algerian journalists was attacked with knives, and a number of their equipment was stolen. All this comes amid political and security tensions that threaten the course of the session, following the outbreak of confrontations between separatist militias and government forces. End of a match prematurely The match between the Tunisian team and its Malian counterpart, on Wednesday, in the African Cup of Nations, which is currently organized by Cameroon, was known as a resounding arbitration scandal. Its Zambian referee, Jani Sikazwe, blew the final whistle twice before the official time of the match ended. An incident that aroused many criticisms, especially from the Tunisians who were defeated by one goal and wished to adjust the result in the remaining minutes, especially because they were playing with a numerical advantage after the expulsion of the Malian player, Bilal Toure, in the 87th minute of the match. Commenting on what happened, Tunisian football star Tariq Diab said in the analysis studio of Qatar's BN Sports Network: "The referee of the match was not fully aware of his mentality. It seems that they changed him and assigned the fourth referee, because it seems that he drank (alcohol), and what happened today was A farce in every sense of the word." He added: "The referee of the match had a problem, and all his assistants were supposed to alert him, because he did not count the 8 minutes of overtime that he did not count, and he killed the match by repeatedly blowing his whistle, and we do not lack in Africa such problems." The Tunisian Football Association submitted a request to the Continental Federation to repeat the match that brought its national team against its Malian counterpart. Tunisian media reported that its federation justified its request, as stipulated in the regulations of the Confederation of African Football, to return matches that ended before their official time. A source from within the Confederation of African Football stated to Kooora Sports website that "the closest decision is to adopt a Mali victory over Tunisia, who is withdrawing from the match with his refusal to go to the stadium" after he assigned the fourth referee of the match to complete its remaining minutes. Error playing the flag salute An hour after the first scandal, the match of the Mauritanian national team against its Gambian counterpart experienced another scandalous mistake, after announcing the playing of the anthem of the Arab country, only to be surprised by its players playing the old anthem of their country.

Before that, a group of Algerian journalists was attacked with knives and their equipment stolen, while referring to the failure of the organized state to provide security for its guests. According to Algerian media, on Sunday night, three members of the Algerian press crew were attacked with knives and their supplies were stolen. The Algerian ambassador to Cameroon, Mediene Mahi, said that "as soon as they were informed of the attack on the three journalists, the embassy contacted the Cameroonian authorities." The African Union condemned the incident, and said in a statement that it "strongly condemns this serious attack on journalists and declares its absolute solidarity with them and wishes them a speedy recovery." While the Cameroonian police opened an investigation into the case, which ended with the arrest of a suspect, and the search for the rest of his accomplices is still ongoing. Worrying security risks In addition, the city of Buea (southwest) is known for armed confrontations between Cameroonian forces and separatist rebels in the English-speaking region. On Wednesday, these militias carried out an armed attack on the city that hosts Group F matches of the African Cup of Nations. This attack, which was aimed at obstructing the preparations for the two matches of Group F, which includes the teams of Tunisia, Mauritania, Gambia and Mali, according to the leader of the separatist movement.
