Violences ciblant les Peuls au Burkina Faso: Gouvernement dénie, Jihadistes profitent

DIWIDA.NEWS crime, french, military, politics, warfare

Des vidéos ayant beaucoup circulé font état de dizaines de victimes de pogroms dans la région de Solenzo, dans l’ouest du pays, au sein de villages à majorité peule. Les assaillants ont été identifiés comme des Volontaires pour la défense de la patrie, normalement chargés de la lutte contre le terrorisme. Le gouvernement d’Ibrahim Traoré dément.

 Des images insoutenables d’hommes, femmes et enfants parfois ligotés, le corps ensanglanté et sans vie, visiblement exécutés. Selon des sources locales, des ONG et des médias, les hommes armés ayant perpétré ces massacres dans la région de Solenzo au
 Burkina Faso
 la semaine dernière sont des supplétifs de l’armée burkinabè dans la lutte contre le terrorisme, les
 Volontaires pour la défense de la patrie
 (VDP), inscrits après une formation de quelques semaines uniquement.
 
 
 Les exactions documentées ont été commises alors qu’une large opération de traque des jihadistes avait été lancée par les autorités. Mais pour la junte au pouvoir, ces massacres qui touchent particulièrement les
 Peuls
 n’ont rien à voir avec ses hommes. « Le gouvernement regrette et condamne la propagation, sur les réseaux sociaux, d’images d’incitation à la haine et à la violence communautaire », a écrit le porte-parole du gouvernement, Pingdwendé Gilbert Ouédraogo, dans un communiqué. Selon lui, ces vidéos visent à « mettre à mal la cohésion sociale et le vivre-ensemble ».

 Cette grande campagne de diffamation est survenue après les derniers incidents de SolenZO, qui ont été manipulés dans l'unique but de salir nos valeureux combattants et d'intimider les populations pacifiques", a également indiqué cette source. Selon les affirmations du gouvernement, "un avant-poste des VDP a subi une attaque menée par des terroristes" le 10 mars. On rapporte que "une soixantaine environ" de djihadistes auraient trouvé la mort lors de notre contre-attaque, tandis que certains auraient réussi à s'échapper.
 
 
 Le groupe armé maintient qu'accuser les djihadistes d'utiliser la population civile comme boucliers humains est toujours sa ligne de conduite. Selon Pingdwendé Gilbert Ouédraogo, pendant leur riposte, les VDP auraient trouvé "des familles comprenant des femmes, des enfants et des personnes âgées que les terroristes essayaient d'employer comme écran protecteur". Cependant, le pouvoir affirme travailler à réconforter la population en indiquant que par la suite, tous ces citoyens ordinaires ont été transférés vers un centre destiné à une assistance humanitaire immédiate.

 Pourtant, certaines sources pointent directement du doigt les forces affiliées au gouvernement ainsi que la nature préméditée de ces attaques. Une personne locale ayant parlé à l'Agence France-Presse a affirmé : "Des groupes familiaux complets" de Peuls auraient été "exclusivement tués" entre le 10 et le 12 mars par des troupes appartenant au 18ème BIR (Bataillon d'intervention rapide) et par des VDP. Depuis plusieurs années maintenant, les communautés peules font face aux allégations selon lesquelles elles fourniraient un soutien au terrorisme dans la région sahélienne et subissent une forme de discrimination. À ce sujet, Human Rights Watch a exprimé ses réserves concernant cette situation, mentionnant qu'"une série de vidéos choquant montre clairement comment des milices favorables au gouvernement burkinabè agissaient avec impunité". L'organisation a également relevé plus de cinquante-huit cadavres sur ces mêmes images vidéo.

 « Comment pourrait-on légitimer de telles opérations punissantes vis-à-vis de populations vulnérables et désarmées, dont le seul tort est d’appartenir à telle ou telle ethnie ? », a également dénoncé le collectif burkinabè Sens pour la société civile. « La guerre antiterroriste ne saurait tolérer toutes les méthodes », a-t-il souligné, faisant référence à des images difficiles à regarder ». Ces actes de vengeance ciblent apparemment les Peuls selon ce qui se passe sur place : en septembre, l'Agence France-Presse avait recueilli témoignages auprès de nombreux Peuls burkinabè, exilés vers d'autres régions.

 Pour les organisations terroristes, ces attaques répétées contre des civils commises par les auxiliaires de l'armée burkinabè, surtout basées sur des critères ethniques, constituent un excellent moyen d'enrôler du personnel parmi des communautés désespérées et furieuses. Quelques jours seulement après les tueries de Solenzo, le collectif pour la promotion de l'Islam et des musulmans (

 Au sein des communautés peules, une vive anxiété règne concernant leur possible ciblement comme prochaines victimes de l'armée ainsi que de leurs alliés locaux. Suite aux massacres perpétrés à l'Ouest du pays, un individu peul ayant trouvé refuge hors du Burkina Faso a exhorté ceux restés chez eux à prendre la fuite vers le Ghana ou la Côte d'Ivoire notamment. "Observez les actes commis par les forces de sécurité, les responsables gouvernementaux et les groupes auto-défense contre notre population", déclare-t-il avec force dans un message vocal largement diffusé au cours des dernières semaines au cœur même de cette communauté. Il conclut son appel : "[...] je me tourne vers chacun de mes frères et sœurs Peuls, quels que soient votre localisation au Burkina - si vous êtes en zone rurale ou urbaine – il faut absolument partir."
 
 
 Pour ce qui est des personnes incapables de quitter le pays, il les encourage à se procurer des armes pour assurer leur propre protection. Il critique ensuite vigoureusement le chef de l'État.

Kwibuka31: Honoring the Commemoration with Due Respect

DIWIDA.NEWS africa, community, grief, tragedies, warfare

When I first moved to Rwanda in 2017, I imagined what my year there would be like and there was one constant - the dream of speaking perfectly fluent Kinyarwanda. What happened instead was a lot of time spent with my colleagues, during work hours and leisure time, where very little Kinyarwanda was practiced on my end. Being part of the Programme Unit meant I got to go on plenty of field missions across the country, and notice the distinctions among the five provinces in Rwanda. I felt more at home in the Eastern Province, where people we came across reminded me of neighbours and friends in Uganda. When I travelled South, I discovered the best coffee roastery and devoured the best meal I have ever had to date – it was the habitual combination of soft posho and the most perfectly done beans (kawunga n’ibishyimbo). The air in the South was warmer and more temperate than anywhere I’d been in the country, and the energy of the people less pastoral than those in the Eastern province. Their conversations that simultaneously relaxed and intellectual (likely because of the dominating influence of the University of Rwanda Huye campus). In the North, travelling between verdant hills and inching towards my paternal ancestral home, I was reminded of childhood travel to the village and the ensuing nausea from endless circling motions on the winding roads. In the Western province, the Francophone influence is omnipresent and the lake-side culture yielded more slowness, peace and quiet. There were generally less people per capita as compared to the other regions – this I observed purely from eyesight, not based on any official population census. It was in Kibuye that I broke my vegetarianism momentarily to eat some sambaza that my colleagues insisted I partake in. “It’s not meat!” They asserted, “It’s fish!” – any Vegetarian who has lived in Africa will come to realise that fish doesn’t count as meat in our societies. You have to be deliberate and say, “I don’t eat animals of any kind; land, sea and air - all inclusive.” Later in the year, I travelled back West with my mother and uncle to try out the healing properties of the Nyamyumba Hot Springs – naturally-occurring heated water that springs to the surface because of subterranean volcanic activity. We were charmed by the separate springs for men and women, feeling more certain of their healing powers since we wouldn’t be mixing chromosomal energies. In April of 2017, Rwanda was commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the Genocide against the Tutsi for 100 days. As with every year prior and since, the dedicated week of mourning and remembrance lasts 7 days from 7th April, where sombreness is rightfully required. The mourning week honours the grief so many Banyarwanda hold over the loss of their loved ones in this time, whether as victims, or self-sacrificing liberators who fought to end the massacre. The deliberate act of remembrance is so essential - it insists that you do not forget the atrocities that transpired in 1994: when people came together with the heinous aim of eliminating an entire ethnic group. During the 100 day commemoration that year, my workmates and I climbed into a minivan to attend a Kwibuka event at the HQ of all our sister organisations. On the way there, one of my colleagues gently offered a corrective note as we talked about the events of 1994. He requested that I state in full, “Genocide against the Tutsi.” I asked him why the distinction was necessary, shouldn’t it be obvious? It wasn’t, not to genocide deniers. Along with others in the van, he launched into observable evidence and experiences of genocide-denial, where people have tried, and continue, to distort the deliberate attempts that occurred to eradicate Tutsi from the face of the earth. For this reason alone, it is a must to always specify the following: Genocide against the Tutsi. On this same journey, another colleague shared the story of her own survival. She thought there would be no moment as extraordinary as when she was rescued by the RPF soldiers who found them - she later realised she was wrong. She said the best feeling in the world happened a few hours later, in their march towards the city, when she found 500 Belgian Francs in between the pages of a book, at an abandoned house of a genocide perpetrator. She ran to one of the soldiers she had bonded with the most, the one who helped her out of the pit and who she walked closest to. He looked down at her and asked in Kinyarwanda, “What is it, sweet girl?” and she handed over the bills she found. He knelt down in front of her, till he was just about her height and hugged her for a very long time. As she relayed the story, she folded her arms around herself, smiling and saying, “I still remember the hug so well. That was my best moment.” I’ve never forgotten the story she shared, nor the loss she experienced from the Genocide against the Tutsi, losing a cherished father she was so close to – and her family’s valiant efforts amid unwarranted terror. This colleague was already someone I loved to spend time with even beyond the office we shared, but if the Interahamwe had their way, none of us would have experienced her infectious laugh and her beautiful spirit. She brightened up our office in such a way that you would never think she had been through one of the most harrowing experiences of humankind, at only eleven years old. This realisation, that there are many Rwandans who have so much beauty and grace to share, despite losing so much 31 years ago, was one the most meaningful moments of my life - reminding me of the power of human resilience that the country has embodied in its people and its growth. In that van, as more of my colleagues shared their stories of survival, of the friends and family they lost, chatting away openly and kindly to me, and offering answers to sensitive questions I nervously asked because I worried about dredging up horrific memories. They shared their own and others’ stories of survival, one after the other jumping in when something relatable was brought up. From then, and precisely because of them, I became keenly aware of all that was lost, in a deeper, more personal way, and therefore became overcome by all that was saved, revived and renewed in the aftermath of such horror. At the beginning of the 23rd commemoration of the Genocide against the Tutsi, there was a Walk to Remember, an annual event. I made my way to Amahoro Stadium and reached what I remember was a side entrance, where hundreds of people were waiting to enter. Police officers stood at the front for crowd control and I wondered if I would ever get in. Thankfully, voices from the front shouted in Kinyarwanda for women to enter first, and I got through easily. When I entered the stadium, I made my way to a section nearby, not wanting to be too far from an exit. Letting women in first made sure that majority of them got seats. I looked around at many of the people inside and on the field, who wore the same grey polos with black collars, and an image of the Flame of Remembrance and Kwibuka23 were printed on the top left of the shirt. The direct translation of Kwibuka in Kinyarwanda is ‘To remember.’ I decided to sit at the top, on the edge of one of the concrete stairs, since most of the seats were full. A young woman with cropped dark hair was next to me and like the entire stadium, she sat silent and sombre. As the program began on the field, Rwandans in white t-shirts and black trousers shaped themselves in the formations of a flame and spelled out Kwibuka23 with their bodies. I saw hands reaching towards faces to wipe their eyes or cover their bent heads. When the performers sang haunting traditional music, the people around me sang softly with them. During the mini-plays presented with poetic narration, you could almost hear the footsteps of the actors on the soft grass - that’s how attentive everybody was. The testimonies from survivors were the hardest to hear and witness. The eyes of the woman next to me would well up with water, but she sat perfectly still throughout, likely steeling herself so no tear would fall. I thought about what I could do to bring her some comfort, but ultimately decided to say nothing – we were all meant to sit there and absorb the pain that the thousands among us felt. When the speakers got emotional recalling memories of survival or loss of someone so special to them, a hush went over the air before bursts of grief were expelled across the stadium in the form of weeping and shrieking. The woman next to me sighed heavily and audibly. I rushed out of the stadium as fast as I could and grabbed the first moto I saw to head straight home to bed from the feeling of exhaustion - a feeling that had become physical despite its psychological cause [1]. In-real-time, I recognised the urgent need for the national commemoration week, every year. It is an instituted period of mourning and remembrance with due prohibitions such as; no weddings and celebrations en masse, no concerts, no sports competitions and projections, and the unspoken understanding to show respect by observing solemnity. It is a time for reflection, a way to show solidarity for the pain among survivors, and it is an honouring of the victims - so that they know that we will always remain conscious the tragedy of their premature deaths. The Genocide against the Tutsi was so unjust, and so preventable, that to inflict further pain on people’s healing by denying it is beyond any understanding. Commemoration officially begins with the lighting of the Flame of Remembrance at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, which burns for 100 days – the entire duration of the annual remembrance period in Rwanda. The most sombre mysteries of the Rosary are called the Sorrowful Mysteries – they start with Jesus’ agony at realising he must sacrifice himself, then follow with graphic descriptions of his scourging, beating, bruising, bleeding; his scalp being pressed upon by thorns, and ultimately, his crucifixion. Catholics are to recite the Sorrowful Mysteries on Tuesday and Friday. At my previous workplace, Tuesday was the designated day for a lunchtime meet to recite the Rosary for Catholic staff (or anyone) who wished to. I used to dread when we’d cycle our way back to the Sorrowful Mysteries, because this meant returning to my desk a little less content than I’d left it. The mysteries ascribed for the other days of the week are Joyful (recited on Mondays and Saturdays), Glorious (recited on Wednesdays and Sundays) and Luminous (recited on Thursday). Yet, sadness is the point of the Sorrowful Mysteries with their apt name – we are meant to feel discomfort at the suffering experienced by another, in this case suffering felt by the most important figure in Christianity. In Rwanda, the massacre experienced by Tutsi and the people who sacrificed their lives to protect them, is discomfiting in a similar way. The commemoration is not supposed to be palatable, and the graphic details are part and parcel of healing for survivors and liberators. April 7th commemorations are not supposed to be joyous, they are supposed to be taxing to the heart and difficult to listen to. It’s the least anyone can do who has been spared from witnessing or experiencing such brutality. Hearing graphic and devastating detail also brings deeper understanding to a complete outsider, for the context of the Genocide against the Tutsi, and the history of Rwanda as a whole. These are the tough parts of solidarity we must take on if we are true allies. When Catholics finish the Sorrowful Mysteries, they know that in spite of the violent detail of the crucifixion, there is a resurrection. For victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi, there is no resurrection. For their loved ones who are still here, our duty as friends and sympathisers should be to discourage any attempts at denial that sour the memories of the ~1 million souls lost, and commit to never, ever letting it happen again - which means facing it, accepting it and remembering it. I will say that there has been a different type of resurrection in Rwanda, not of human beings, but of a reputable nation-state. As many Rwandans have put in varying ways; they are a country ‘risen from the ashes of ‘94’. In 2023, it had been 29 years since the Genocide Against the Tutsi and I was part of the planning for a workshop hosting about 20 individuals from all over the continent based in Kigali. This involved selecting a bonding experience for participants, so I chose a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial. We went on the last day of the workshop, when the group was relaxed and familiar with each other. When we reached the memorial, the group took pictures in front of the Kwibuka29 letters on the lower ground of the memorial area. A few of them commented that starting with pictures was a smart idea, because at the end of the tour, many were completely depleted of the vibrant energy they had started the visit with. The tour of the memorial begins with a video that made several people very emotional, and set the tone for everything else they would see and learn. In silence, and each at their own pace, they bent to take closer looks at photos of victims and shuddered at corporeal remains placed near their owners’ possessions, including toys and clothing belonging to children. I won’t say much more about the visit, but only encourage anyone reading to go. After the tour, out in the sunshine that clashed with the solemnity of our mood, the group’s voices that started the journey with curiosity and excitement, were now hushed and toned down as they discussed what they saw. The Ugandan facilitator and another Ugandan participant both said they were shocked at how little they really knew about the Genocide against the Tutsi, even if the two countries are neighbours. “It’s different when you know the graphic details, you can’t forget it after seeing that,” one of them said. Before the visit to the memorial, the Genocide against the Tutsi in 1994 (and its precursor in 1959), was an abstract thought of human tragedy for many of the Africans at the workshop. To be immersed in it, however, turned what was once perceived as misfortune of recent past, to a constant memorialisation of the horrific extremes human beings can go to, when they harbour misplaced feelings of disenfranchisement, or disagreement. Memorials and remembrance are part of true and sustained reconciliation, they contextualise great loss that is just too vast for the human brain to process – how can you visualise 1 million people being killed? You can’t, initially, but you must at least accept that it happened, no matter how difficult to comprehend. To reach acceptance and thus use appropriate language, is to understand the details of an atrocity. With this understanding comes the justice of criminalising denial. Menachem Z. Rosensaft writes of genocide: “It is the underlying nature of the crime – the intent to destroy a designated group as such – that makes every genocide, and every comparable crime against humanity for that matter, a crime that shocks our consciousness. Engaging in comparative suffering is a counter-productive and morally repugnant exercise.” In 2017, when we were driving back from the commemoration event, the colleague who corrected me to state ‘Genocide Against the Tutsi’ in full, shared a riddle with me. It was how he tried to help me learn deeper Kinyarwanda. The riddles are called Ibisakuzo. “Sakwe Sakwe” he called out, and I responded, “Soma!” Later, he wrote out the full riddle for me to practice and left it on my desk. My favourite is one that translates to: My cow browses among the rocks without knocking against them. The answer: a tongue. It is a violent act to use your tongue to deny a genocide or diminish its occurrence in any way, but one can only perceive this act as violent if they truly understand the gravity of what genocide is – the mass killing and targeting of one group of people. ‘...all denial is harmful no matter when, where, or regarding what genocide. Moreover, in our modern globalised world, denial doesn’t stop at regional or state borders. Due to the internet and new social media, deniers reach international audiences. These developments turn genocide denial into a collective problem, that is not limited to states or regions where a certain genocide has been perpetrated.’ - Roland Moerland At the end of my year in Rwanda, another of my wise colleagues said, “We are so sorry for not teaching you Kinyarwanda properly but you must return because this is how it goes: First, you learn the culture, then, you learn the language.” When you decide to discuss the Genocide against the Tutsi, first engage in the difficult task of deeply learning about what happened - in DETAIL, then you will understand how essential it is to use the correct LANGUAGE and thus value the meaning and impact of consistent COMMEMORATION.

Poulter and Connor Bond Through Head-Shaving and Tattoos in "Warfare"

 The youthful ensemble in Alex Garland's movie "Warfare" needed to form strong bonds rapidly, as they portrayed a U.S. military team reliant on one another for survival amidst the 2006 conflict in Iraq.
 


 Importance of familiarity was key, thus prior to the start of filming, the actors underwent a three-week military training camp.


 They cohabited, acquiring knowledge about military terminology and firearm safety, and were constantly challenged - experiences that strengthened their bond.


 Initially, they decided to cut each other's hair to get into character, which also increased their bond and sense of closeness.


 "On the first day, we had our heads shaved, and at the conclusion of the process, we got tattoos, which framed the entire experience," Poulter shares with Diwida.


 The actor, who most recently starred in "The Bear" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," portrays Captain Eric, a member of an American military unit alongside Iraqi scouts on a reconnaissance operation.


 We observe where things go awry, leading to catastrophic outcomes.

 Heartstopper actor Connor portrays newcomer Tommy, highlighting how youthful the soldiers were—Connor has just turned 21, the same age as Tommy when he served.


 The actor mentions that deciding to get a shared tattoo with his co-stars after wrapping up filming was an easy choice. This applies to the casts of The Avengers and The Lord of the Rings.

 The ensemble includes several notable actors such as D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai from "Reservation Dogs," Cosmo Jarvis from "Shogun," Joseph Quinn from "Stranger Things" and the upcoming Beatles movie, and Charles Melton from "Riverdale."


 It was truly influential for me," Connor states regarding his experience with the movie. "I've formed friendships that I genuinely think will last a long time.


 All of us wished to mark this occasion—we are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished collectively.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CHOCt" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CHOCt.jpg"/>

 The film is grounded completely in an actual mission from the Iraq War and is constructed around the recollections of the U.S. soldiers who experienced it firsthand.


 The team stayed with a typical Iraqi household in Ramadi, which was under the control of Al-Qaeda forces, for a short time as shown in the movie.


 The objective was for the military to infiltrate and monitor the region during the night, ensuring covertly that the ground troops could move through safely the following day.


 What they weren't aware of was that they were living next to an insurgent hideout, which made them potential targets for an assault.


 Filmed in real time, Warfare doesn’t feature any music or flashbacks, ensuring constant intensity for viewers. The entire movie keeps you immersed in the heart of the action without respite.


 The commanding soldiers must make rapid choices amidst the agony and turmoil, as an Iraqi family finds itself trapped in the midst of the conflict.


 Oscar-nominated Garland, whose repertoire encompasses the
 28 Days film franchise
 and
 Ex Machina
 He conceived the idea for Warfare while working on his movie from last year.
 Civil War.


 He was focusing on the combat sequences alongside Hollywood stunt performer and firearms choreographer Ray Mendoza.


 "While working on the editing for Civil War, I got the chance to closely examine some of the efforts put forth by Ray, recognizing just how sophisticated and intricate they were," Garland reflects.


 They started talking about Mendoza’s former role as a US Navy SEAL and discussed the Ramadi mission, during which he served as the communication specialist.


 Mendoza stated that he had always dreamed of producing a movie about that particular mission.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CHJQu" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CHJQu.jpg"/>

 The seasoned individual harbored a significant motivation for aiming to reconstruct the events from that particular day—to assist in restoring the vanished recollections of his associate, Elliott Miller.


 Miller, who previously served as a Navy SEAL, sustained severe injuries in Ramadi to such an extent that he experienced
 head trauma and amnesia
 , and had to undergo an amputation of their leg.


 While on the mission, Mendoza dragged the unresponsive soldier to the evacuation tank, which ended up being crucial for saving his life.


 Mendoza states that Elliott has no recollection of the event and was filled with numerous queries upon waking.


 Regardless of the numerous maps we created or the times we documented it, without that fundamental recollection, I believe he has struggled.


 This only generated more questions than solutions. Therefore, I decided to reproduce this one.


 Thus, Garland and Mendoza chose to collaborate on Warfare, both taking up writing and directorial responsibilities, with the movie being dedicated to Miller.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CHM3i" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CHM3i.jpg"/>

 The key issue is whether watching the movie assisted Miller in putting all the pieces together.


 "Yes, indeed—he was like a sponge," Mendoza states.


 We guided him through it all—he had numerous queries, and he mentioned that his children also have many questions.


 It has become a cinematic memory, yet it’s as near as he’ll ever get – he feels extremely thankful.


 Jarvis portrayed Miller as "a humorous fellow... he's fantastic – embodying resilience" in his portrayal.


 Jarvis mentioned that it was a "distinctive circumstance to find oneself in when you have the responsibility of depicting someone who is literally seated opposite you," referring to the fact that the individual he was portraying was present on set.


 However, since he couldn’t recall [the events], many of my sources were his coworkers.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CHJQx" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CHJQx.jpg"/>

 The announcement regarding the choice of actors for the soldier roles has sparked considerable interest online, with various media outlets enthusiastically referring to these performers as "the heartthrobs of the internet" and "up-and-coming luminaries."


 Garland raises an eyebrow at this, and Mendoza steps in to discuss the reasoning behind selecting those particular actors.


 He mentions, 'I have conveyed this to them, hence my intention isn’t to offend anyone, but our search was not for the finest performers. Each of them is an excellent actor. What we needed were the most suitable candidates,' he explains.


 What this implies is their readiness to challenge themselves beyond their usual limits of comfort. 'You'll feel drained. You’ll have to depend on others. This isn’t about individual achievement; it’s about teamwork.'


 And those who seize that chance, you think to yourself, 'Yes, that’s the mindset we require.'

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CHHJh" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CHHJh.jpg"/>

 Gathering and verifying the soldiers' recollections was a substantial task, primarily carried out by Garland.


 He states, 'I believe there is intrinsic worth in striving for honesty and truthfulness when discussing something as grave and important as war.'


 He filmed it at a studio located in a northern suburb of London, utilizing a site that was once a World War II airbase. The movie was made in real-time to authentically depict “an actual combat encounter… with as much honesty, precision, and accuracy as feasible.”


 Unsurprisingly, alongside working with Garland, ex-US Navy SEAL Mendoza led the actors through their paces at the boot camp.


 Woon-A-Tai portrayed him as "an exceptional teacher who gave us immense confidence," while emphasizing firearm safety as a crucial aspect.


 The actor was equally captivated by how the story wasn’t “ dramatized or overly Hollywood-ified”.


 "He found it intriguing to witness these soldiers disregarding commands and performing the necessary actions to rescue their unit during the withdrawal," he explains, discussing the troops' extraction procedure.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CHOCB" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CHOCB.jpg"/>

 Mendoza believes the movie could also assist veterans who find it difficult to convey the realities of war.


 He mentions that some of these concepts are challenging to articulate verbally. Therefore, he uses artistic visuals as a means of conveying his message.


 Connor agrees with this sentiment, stating: "Many of these gentlemen are far more reluctant to discuss themselves in such scenarios, possibly due to modesty or the challenge of expressing their thoughts clearly."


 Many of them simply do not like discussing their participation.


 The movie has been referred to as "the most intense – and truthful – portrayal of contemporary warfare ever created."
 by the Telegraph
 , while
 the New Yorker said
 It provides a "hyper-realistic critique of the American war film."


 The Guardian said
 The filmmakers' message becomes obscured amidst the overwhelming chaos of combat scenes.
 Empire added
 It could very well be considered the most impactful and unadulterated anti-war film in cinema; devoid of sentimentality or self-pity, importantly, every moment refuses to portray warfare as appealing or glamorous.


 Poulter expresses his admiration for the filmmakers' resolve in ensuring that Warfare remains entirely based on facts.


 I hope this movie helps foster a deeper comprehension of the profoundly detrimental impact of war, which is marked by significant losses...


 I believe this movie is as strong an anti-war statement as one could realistically expect to witness.


 The movie "Warfare" will be released in theaters on Friday, April 18th.

 VIENNA (AP) — While excavation work was underway last October to refurbish a soccer field in Vienna, workers stumbled upon something extraordinary: a mass grave containing intermingled skeletons from the 1st century Roman Empire. The remains are believed to be those of combatants who were part of battles involving Germanic tribes.


 On Wednesday, following an archaeological assessment, specialists from the Vienna Museum conducted their initial public display of the burial site, which they associated with "a significant military occurrence" and presented as proof of the earliest documented combat in that area.


 One hundred twenty-nine individuals' remains have been verified at the location within the Vienna area of Simmering. Excavation crews additionally discovered numerous displaced bones and suspect that the overall victim count exceeds 150—a finding unprecedented in Central Europe.

 Regarding Roman military conflicts, there are no similar discoveries involving combatants," explained Michaela Binder, who headed the excavation project. "Large battlegrounds have been uncovered in Germany with numerous weapons. However, discovering remains of deceased soldiers is unparalleled throughout all documented periods of Roman history.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CarbX" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CarbX.jpg"/>

 Roman soldiers usually underwent cremation until the 200s AD.


 The burial site where the remains were placed indicates a hurried or chaotic disposal of bodies. Each skeletal specimen inspected exhibited evidence of trauma—especially to the skull, trunk, and pelvic regions.

 They exhibit numerous distinct battle injuries, making an execution unlikely. This place clearly resembles a battleground," stated Kristina Adler-Wölfl, who leads the Vienna city archaeology division. "These individuals sustained cuts from swords, lances, as well as damage from bludgeoning weapons.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Cawba" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Cawba.jpg"/>

 All the victims were males. The majority fell within the age range of 20 to 30 years, and they typically exhibited strong dental hygiene.


 The Carbon-14 analysis indicated that the bones were from around 80 to 130 AD. This dating was corroborated with historical records of artifacts discovered in the tomb, such as armor, cheekpieces from a helmet, and the specific nails utilized in Roman military sandals called caligae.


 The strongest hint was provided by a corroded dagger of a kind that was used exclusively from the midpoint of the first century through the beginning of the second century.


 Ongoing research has revealed that only one victim has been identified as a Roman soldier. Scientists are hopeful that DNA and strontium isotope analyses may provide more information about these combatants and their allegiances.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1Cawbn" data-reference="video"/>

 "The current leading theory suggests that this is linked to Emperor Domitian's Danube campaigns, which took place between 86 and 96 A.D.," Adler-Wölfl stated.


 The city archaeologists stated that this find also indicates the initial indications of the establishment of a settlement that would later grow into the present-day Austrian capital.

 Since the breakdown of the ceasefire in Gaza last week, Yemen’s Iran-supported Houthi rebels have targeted Israel with multiple long-range missiles. Though there wasn’t an instant acknowledgment, the group subsequently admitted to launching two projectiles toward Ben Gurion Airport and a military location near Tel Aviv; one missile was reportedly hypersonic.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/AA1BMSmp" data-reference="video"/>

 US forces have been targeting Houthi strongholds in Yemen since 15 March, with President Donald Trump vowing to hold Iran accountable for attacks carried out by its proxies in the region.


 The attack also disrupted commercial flights, as Italy's ITA Airways had to reroute one of its aircraft; however, it successfully landed in Tel Aviv.


 In the meantime, the Houthis stated that they had targeted US warships in the Red Sea with missiles and drones as well, including the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier.


 As members of the so-called Axis of Resistance, which includes Iran-backed paramilitary groups, the Houthis remain a significant factor in escalating regional conflicts. This has persisted for almost ten years amid ongoing military actions led by Saudi Arabia within Yemen.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/video/BB1nyXDC" data-reference="video"/>

 Military authorities announced on Wednesday that they have identified a World War II aviator who was captured by Japanese troops and perished in a prison blaze following his aircraft being downed.


 In March 1945, U.S. Army Air Forces Corporal Glenn H. Hodak, who was 23 years old at the time, served as part of the 93rd Bombardment Squadron within the 19th Bombardment Group. This information comes from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
 stated in a press release
 Hodak, who hailed from Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania, served as a gunner on a B-29 "Superfortress." This type of aircraft featured numerous machine guns, could carry more than 20,000 pounds of bombs, and was particularly well-suited for missions flying from airbases in China to Japan during World War II.
 as per the National Museum of the United States Air Force
 .


 Hodak's aircraft was brought down during a mission over Tokyo. Initially, he was listed as missing in action, according to the DPAA, but further investigation revealed that he had actually been apprehended following the crash of his plane. He was then transferred to the Tokyo Military Prison.


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BMdMF" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BMdMF.jpg"/>


 In late May 1945, U.S. planes extensively bombarded Tokyo, resulting in massive blazes and destroying numerous buildings.
 according to Military.com
 One of the demolished structures was the Tokyo Military Prison. Hodak was one of the servicemen detained there when it happened. According to Military.com, none of the individuals incarcerated at the site made it out alive as they perished in the fire. All those who died were interred in a common burial ground.


 In early 1946, following the conclusion of World War II, the American Graves Registration Service exhumed 65 sets of remains from the prison. They managed to identify 25 of these individuals, including one who was identified as being Japanese according to the DPAA report. The remaining 39 unidentifiable sets of remains were subsequently buried as unknown soldiers at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial located in the Philippines.


 In 2022, the remains were exhumed once more and transferred to the DPAA laboratory for examination. The DPAA initiated the Tokyo Prison Fire Project in 2024.
 On a social media platform
 The agency stated that the project "encounters significant forensic hurdles because of the charred and fragmented state of the remains along with severe mixing."


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BMhDB" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BMhDB.jpg"/>


 To
 
 identify Hodak's remains
 
 DPAA researchers employed dental and anthropological examinations along with indirect clues for identification purposes, according to the agency. They added that DNA sequencing techniques have additionally been utilized to recognize servicemen who perished at the facility, as stated by DPAA on social media platforms.


 "The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency recently achieved success with their efforts to account for Americans involved in the Tokyo Prison Fire. So far, they have identified two service members as part of this initiative," the agency informed CBS News.


 The remaining family members of Hodak have been notified that his remains have been identified, according to the DPAA. His burial will take place in Spring Creek, Pennsylvania, in May.

Unveiled: Ancient UAE Hunting Techniques from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B Era

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1Akk16" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1Akk16.jpg"/>
<div class="news-body">
 
 AMMAN — Early in 2022, archaeologists uncovered eight habitation areas in southeastern Jordan. These locations are closely linked with eight large-scale hunting installations known as "desert kites." The dating evidence indicates these related sites fall within the late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period.
 
 
 The archaeological materials from various sites primarily consist of numerous stone tools, displaying remarkable consistency and uniformity across them all.
 
 
 "Given the distinctive features of the complete stone collection, a novel regional technological complex named 'Ghassanian' has been identified for these arid zones at the edge of the Fertile Crescent," stated French archaeologist René Cressard.
 
 
 Cressard mentioned that numerous arrowheads were found across all occupational levels at sites JKSH F19, P52, and F15. These arrowheads were crafted from small, finely grained chert blades; some may have been brought in through trade, with others being made of quartzite.
 
 
 The archaeologist mentioned that the debris from small, finely grained chert and quartzite blades appears to be predominantly used for this particular manufacturing process.
 
 
 During the preform stage, blanks are modified using direct, inverse, or bifacial retouch with a soft stone hammer. Later, they undergo pressure flaking followed by final invasive retouch to complete the tool.
 
 
 As seen from a typological perspective, these findings from the Jibal Al Khashabiyeh sites share similarities with those recognized in the Southern Levant during the Final PPNB period, particularly concerning single-stemmed blades like the Jericho, Byblos, and Amuq varieties," Cressard noted. "They also align with artifacts from the Late Neolithic era, including unifacial or bifacial tools characterized as single-stemmed or barbed and stemmed, akin to examples such as ha-Parsa, Nizzanim, and Herziliya.
 
 
 Various kinds of arrowheads discovered at the Jibal Al Khashabiyeh sites might represent another significant feature of these collections and the identified technological complex.
 
 
 A deeper analysis of the Jibal Al Khashabiyeh sites will provide essential insights into the regional chronology and typology, as well as facilitate comparisons with other parts of the Levant during the same era," Cressard pointed out, noting additionally that the flint utilized for making blades is locally sourced and appears as medium-sized slabs on the present-day surface of the region.
 
 
 At the JKSH P52 location specifically, numerous small, blade-like daggers were discovered clustered together outside the living area, closely associated with substantial amounts of flakes resulting from two-sided tool modification.
 
 
 Cressard explained that these daggers went through various stages of completion, with the majority appearing to be finalised. He also mentioned that many might have broken during production, presumably taking place in a specialized workshop section.
 
 
 It would be useful to examine potential signs of usage on both the bifaces and the blades to determine if particular functions can be linked specifically to each kind of tool.
 
 
 "As evidenced by their association with faunal remnants, the utilization of either or both seems like a plausible theory. Specifically, curved maces represent an exclusive category of tools during the period when Jibal Al Khashabiyeh was inhabited. These were connected to the application of kite structures, and currently, no similar examples have been identified within the broader region of the Near East," emphasized Cressard.
 
 
 The archaeologist observed that this level of detail might indicate a specific purpose for these tools, possibly related to handling items from hunts.
 
 
 The initial findings from the microscopic wear analysis of the chipped stone tools at site JKSH P52 offer promising avenues for future research regarding how we comprehend the inhabitation of this location and the societal as well as economic structure of the hunter groups connected to desert kites, according to the researcher.
 
 
 So far, initial findings indicate that within the wide range of activities depicted, the numerous processes involved in handling animal products seem to be notably prominent.
 
 
 The ongoing research aims to achieve several objectives: first, to outline the complete range of functions and technical procedures performed using this equipment; second, to deepen our comprehension of how animal remains were processed at the site, particularly in relation to targeted gazelle hunts (including butchering and leatherworking); third, to ascertain if distinct specialized areas can be distinguished both internally and across various sections,” Cressard stated.

《真·三国无双：起源》：重开无双天

DIWIDA.NEWS gamers, video games, warfare

【本文由小黑盒作者@BilingualCurator于03月16日发布，转载请标明出处！】
 


 作为系列的重启作，或者说最新的正作，《真·三国无双：起源》毫无疑问打了个漂亮的翻身仗，舍弃了系列积累下来的大量可操作武将从头再来，换来的是更符合时代也更出色的战斗系统，与独步天下的大军同屏对冲所带来的战场感，为三国无双乃至整个无双正作系列迈入现代化开了个好头。


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B38YH" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B38YH.jpg"/>

<h2>
 起源重开无双天
</h2>

 起源的宣布其实处在一个不太妙的时间点。2018年，三国无双系列的上一部正作《真·三国无双8》遭遇了滑铁卢，开放世界的转型并不成功，本土首周销量不到12万，游戏评价也不甚乐观，虽然花了差不多一个季度全球总出货量达到了73万，但之后就没有了声息，时至今日在Steam的评价也依然是多半差评，而21年调整了方向的帝国或者说358e也没能挽回颓势，销量更是难比正作。此后三国无双系列若以正作计，有近7年没有出过新品。


 与此同时，整个无双正作系列都不太景气，作为《战国无双》系列重启作的Z55销量惨淡，而虽然《无双大蛇3》的全球销量和评价都不错，但作为战国无双和三国无双的联动作，蛇4在系列重启的情况下也无疑要排到很久之后。作为对比，近年来光荣的IP无双反而销量都非常不错，连火纹无双的销量都破了百万，更有出货突破400万、刷新了无双销量记录的塞尔达无双。就在大家都在调侃无双系列以后将或化身为代工品牌时，曾经参与355的庄知彦重新出山担任35o制作人，将经费用在刀刃上打造了这部独一无二的作品，并在首月就突破了百万销量，毫不夸张地说，再造了无双系列。


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B37bm" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B37bm.jpg"/>

<h2>
 新时代的无双
</h2>

 本作能在本家无双式微的大环境下取得如此成绩，自然离不开大刀阔斧的革新。在35o正式宣布后，随着访谈的放出，对固定主角、无双武将和可控武将大砍等违背祖宗之法的质疑之声四起。但在实机操作和Demo放出后，吕布战的震撼表现、袁术战的军团冲锋等等都很快成为了热门话题，一扫舆论上的颓势——角色缩减省下的经费带来了更高的游戏性和战场氛围，35o以极致的长版证明了自己，尽管本作只做到赤壁，但是依然取得了极高的评价。


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B38YN" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B38YN.jpg"/>


 无双可以说是定义了一种玩法的游戏，虽然也有低难我割草高难被草割的说法，但是多代发展下来还是产生了一种轻重攻击轮流按连出大范围技能血虐人机的思维定式。35o则在保留这种大范围清兵的爽快感的同时将同屏在线人数堆到极致，让大军团对冲充满气势也极具威胁，同时面对武将设计了完善的弹反+发劲机制来断招破甲乃至收招处决以增强交互，在快节奏下打起来爽感进一步提升，可以说将无双游戏的玩法正式和当代接轨。简单来说，连招疯狂割草以及满场救火都是无双传统，本作在沿袭这两点的基础上优化了游玩体验使其更具策略性——武艺弹反闪避等要素都在35o里得到了凸显。敌方武将的斗气护甲需要不断攻击才能打破防，然后就可以通过重击收招乃至处决，而防御破白光发劲断黄光的互动模式也把交手从单纯的割草或者被草割变得更有互动感。而被强化的不只是武将，还有敌我双方的军势，士兵的AI在本作和武将一样得到了大增强，真正在普通难度下也具有了威胁；而更进一步的是，得益于光荣多年来打磨的同屏战斗和新时代的技术发展，35o打造了业界难寻竞品的大战场：成百上千的士兵混在一起集结成气势磅礴的军团，再加上一同突击的气势，金铁相交和怒吼下战场氛围极其震撼。更让人惊讶的是在这种情况下，本作的优化依然极其出色，甚至SteamDeck也可以畅玩，不得不说庄P做出了正确的决策，有能，名将！


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3g5w" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3g5w.jpg"/>

<h2>
 汉末有灵鸟，其名为紫鸾
</h2>

 同时，本作也是RPG要素浓厚的一部。与以往无双正作扮演历史武将不同，本作玩家将扮演一个全新的原创人物，虽然可以自选姓名，不过也有着固定的外貌、配音乃至出身，有着自己身份相关的剧情线，玩家将以这个身份介入汉末群雄，体味他们的人生和豪情，最后在打到第三章的共通线后开始分魏蜀吴线，走上不同的道路。当然，他依然是个原创角色，自己的出身势力“太平之要”和相关剧情也都是原创的，发售前奶的其实是周仓/张仲景等种种猜测也尽数落空。


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3g5A" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3g5A.jpg"/>


 和以往的养成要素只有刷刷等级和武器不同，35o的这部分比起前作同样进行了现代RPG化，加入了更完善的武艺、技能树等要素，再加上大地图探索，代入感更强。而情谊系统也得到了保留和升级——主人公化身东汉魅魔，男女通吃，部分剧情的重力程度让人怀疑走错了片场。与之相对应的，本作在剧情方面也基本抛弃了前作的刻板印象——这里说的并不是三国角色的刻板印象，而是三国无双系列的三国角色刻板印象，这完全是两码事。大部分主要角色都有自己的闪光点，甚至张角都不再是造型花里胡哨的神棍垫脚石，连董太师也成了弱肉强食的枭雄，突出一个人人都是英杰，让剧情更具张力，这对于老无双来说算是巨大进步了。同时，书信系统、城池对话等也在边角补充了一些剧情，让这个三国乱世的细节更加完善。虽然本作只做到了赤壁，不过目前DLC和续作也已经提出了意向，非常值得期待。


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3bdP" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3bdP.jpg"/>


 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B3dto" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B3dto.jpg"/>


 总的来说，《真·三国无双：起源》是一部相当出色的系列重启作，不但跟上了时代的步伐，更是打造出了自己的长板，独步天下的战场感让玩家对其深深着迷。非常期待之后的群雄IF线，也很期待续作补完赤壁之后的故事。目前本作正在Steam春季促销当中，感兴趣的玩家可以一试。

Houthi Serang Kapal Perang Amerika Bertubi-tubu

DIWIDA.NEWS armed forces, news, warfare, weapons, weapons and warfare

, SANAA -- Kelompok Houthi terus melakukan serangan balasan terhadap Amerika Serikat. Mereka mengatakan menyerang kapal induk USS Harry Truman untuk kedua kalinya dalam 24 jam terakhir, meluncurkan “sejumlah drone dan rudal balistik dan jelajah” ke kapal perang tersebut.


 Serangan itu “berlangsung selama beberapa jam” dan “berhasil menggagalkan serangan musuh yang sedang bersiap dilancarkan terhadap negara kami”, kata kelompok itu. Belum ada komentar langsung dari AS.


 
 Aljazirah
 
 melaporkan, Juru bicara militer Houthi Yahya Saree mengatakan sebelumnya pada Ahad bahwa kelompok itu menargetkan kapal induk AS USS Harry S Truman dan kapal perangnya dengan 18 rudal balistik dan jelajah serta sebuah drone, TV pemerintah Al Masirah melaporkan. AS belum menanggapi klaim Houthi.


 AS menolak klaim tersebut, dan seorang pejabat mengatakan kepada Reuters bahwa pasukan AS menembak jatuh 11 drone Houthi, tidak ada satupun yang mendekati kapal induk, dan juga melacak sebuah rudal yang jatuh di lepas pantai Yaman.


 Saree menambahkan, AS telah melancarkan lebih dari 47 serangan di berbagai wilayah di Yaman. Dalam komentar terpisah, Abdul Malik al Houthi, pemimpin gerakan Houthi, mengatakan dalam pernyataan yang disiarkan televisi bahwa AS dan Israel “berusaha untuk memaksakan persamaan tindakan di wilayah tersebut dan rakyatnya”.


 “Kami akan membalas musuh Amerika dengan serangan rudal dan menargetkan kapal perang serta kapal angkatan lautnya,” kata al-Houthi. Ia menyatakan bahwa mereka telah memutuskan untuk “mengancam pengiriman Israel untuk menekan masuknya bantuan kemanusiaan ke Jalur Gaza”.

 Serangan udara Amerika Serikat di Yaman menewaskan sedikitnya 53 orang sejak Sabtu. Meningkatnya jumlah korban jiwa menjadi 53 akibat serangan AS di Yaman dikonfirmasi oleh juru bicara Kementerian Kesehatan yang dikelola Houthi pada Ahad. Lima anak-anak dan dua perempuan termasuk di antara korban, sementara jumlah korban luka meningkat menjadi 98 orang, kata Anees Alsbahi, juru bicara tersebut.


 Nasruddin Amer, wakil kepala kantor media Houthi, mengatakan serangan udara mematikan AS tidak akan menghalangi kelompok bersenjata tersebut dan mereka akan membalas terhadap Amerika Serikat. “Sanaa akan tetap menjadi perisai dan dukungan bagi Gaza dan tidak akan meninggalkannya apa pun tantangannya,” kata Amer di media sosial.


 Biro politik Houthi mengatakan bahwa serangan mematikan tersebut merupakan “kejahatan perang”. Al-Asbahi mengatakan serangan hari Sabtu menargetkan ibu kota, Sanaa, dan daerah di Saada, Al Bayda dan Radaa.


 Kantor berita resmi Saba melaporkan bahwa serangan AS juga menghantam “pos komando kapal Israel Galaxy Leader yang ditahan”. Saba, mengutip seorang pejabat militer, mengatakan AS menargetkan kapal tersebut dengan dua serangan udara.

 Pejuang Houthi membajak Galaxy Leader pada November 2023, menahan 25 anggota awaknya, yang berasal dari Filipina, Meksiko, Rumania, Bulgaria, dan Ukraina, selama 430 hari. Mereka dibebaskan pada bulan Januari setelah gencatan senjata di Gaza mulai berlaku.


 Sementara itu, kapal tersebut masih berada di pelabuhan Hodeidah. Perusahaan ini dimiliki oleh sebuah perusahaan Inggris yang sebagian dimiliki oleh taipan Israel Abraham Ungar, menurut
 
 The Times of Israel.
 


 Militer AS pada Senin membagikan video di X yang menunjukkan sebuah pesawat perang lepas landas dan mengatakan Komando Pusat “pasukan melanjutkan operasi melawan teroris Houthi yang didukung Iran…” Unggahan tersebut muncul segera setelah media yang berafiliasi dengan Houthi mengatakan AS telah melancarkan dua serangan baru terhadap Hodeidah di Yaman. Menurut seorang pejabat AS yang berbicara kepada kantor berita
 
 Reuters
 
 Pada hari Sabtu, operasi serangan militer Amerika Serikat di area Yaman yang dikendalikan Houthi bisa berlanjut selama beberapa hari atau bahkan mencapai mingguan.


 Setelah memberi perintah untuk menyerang pertama kali, Presiden Amerika Serikat Donald Trump menyatakan bahwa ia berencana menggunakan "tenaga dahsyat yang amat besar" hingga kelompok Houthi mengakhiri ofensif mereka terhadap kapal-kapal nelayan di jalur laut vital di Selat Merah.

 Kelompok Houthi memulai serangan mereka terhadap kapal-kontainer sebagai respons atas konflik Israel di Gaza pada tahun 2023, serta untuk mendukung rakyat Palestina. Pada hari Minggu lalu, mereka menyampaikan dalam pernyataan tersendiri bahwa "aksi armada kami bakal tetap dilanjutkan hingga blokade yang ada di Gaza diterbuka dan pasokan bantuan bisa masuk". Sebelumnya, kelompok ini telah mengakhiri operasinya saat gencatan senjata di Gaza dimulai pada awal tahun ini dan tidak melakukan upaya agresif apa pun selama dua bulan belakangan.


 Di awal bulan Maret, Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu menyatakan bahwa penyampaian bantuan ke Gaza telah ditunda. Tujuannya adalah untuk memaksa Hamas setuju dengan perpanjangan fase satu dari kesepakatan gencatan senjata sebelum masuk ke fase kedua, yang mencakup pembahasan penyelesaian konflik tersebut.


 Pekan lalu, pada hari Selasa, kelompok Houthi menyatakan niat mereka untuk terus melakukan serangan usai melewati tenggat waktu yang ditetapkan untuk Israel agar memperbolehkan pemulihan penyampaian bantuan ke Gaza.

Dozens Dead as Trump Orders Decisive Strikes on Yemen's Houthis

 Many individuals have reportedly lost their lives following US President Donald Trump’s directive for "forceful" military intervention against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. This marks the initiation of fresh attacks against this Iran-supported faction, which has recently targeted sea routes within the Red Sea.


 On a post made via Truth Social, Trump stated that the U.S. would employ "substantial lethal force" against the Houthis until their goals were met, indicating the commencement of an extensive military action potentially lasting for several weeks. This prompted the Houthis to issue warnings about further escalations.


 At least 31 individuals were killed and 101 were wounded in Yemen due to U.S. airstrikes, with the majority of casualties being women and children, according to the Houthi-controlled health ministry.


 Multiple Houthi leaders were reportedly eliminated in these attacks, as stated by US National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. He described them as "an overwhelming response" during his interview with ABC News, emphasizing that the strikes were intended to make Iran accountable for backing the Houthis.


 On Sunday, the Houthis asserted they had targeted the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the northern Red Sea with 18 missiles and drones as retaliation for what they termed "American aggression."


 "If they persist with their hostile actions, we will keep raising the stakes," warned Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the group’s leader.


 Based on information provided by two U.S. officials, neither injuries nor damages occurred aboard the USS Truman. Initially, it remains uncertain whether the aircraft carrier needed to interrupt any takeoffs.


 In late 2023, the Houthis from Yemen initiated attacks involving drones and missiles against ships in the Red Sea, claiming these actions were retaliation for Israel’s conflict in Gaza. These ongoing assaults considerably disrupted international commerce.


 The Houthis halted their assaults when a truce was announced in Gaza in January; however, they have subsequently warned of potential resumption due to Israel’s blocking of assistance into Gaza.


 In his statement, Trump alleged that the organization was conducting "a continuous assault involving piracy, violence, and terror against American as well as other nation's vessels, planes, and unmanned vehicles."


 He stated that U.S. forces were conducting airstrikes against Houthi positions, including their leadership and missile defense systems, "in order to safeguard American maritime, air, and naval resources, as well as to reinstate Free Navigation."


 "Nobody can prevent American commercial and naval ships from freely navigating the world’s waterways," Trump stated.


 Additional steps following Saturday will hinge on the outcomes of damage evaluations from these consecutive attacks, as stated by a U.S. defense official to . However, further operations against the Houthis are anticipated to continue for the coming few weeks.


 Trump also delivered a warning for Iran, the Houthis’ main backer, saying it must “immediately” end support for the group. He warned that if Iran threatened the American people or their president, “America will hold you fully accountable and, we won’t be nice about it!”


 Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi responded with a post on X on Sunday.


 The U.S. government lacks the legitimacy and right to dictate Iran's foreign policies," he stated. "Cease supporting Israel’s genocidal and terrorist activities. Put an end to the killings of the Yemeni people.


 According to the health ministry, casualties occurred in Yemen's capital city of Sanaa and also in the northern region of Saada.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B19pG" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B19pG.jpg"/>

 In Saada, strikes hit a power station in the town of Dahyan, resulting in a blackout throughout the city and its surrounding areas, according to Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV.


 According to Reuters, reporting from two eyewitnesses, strikes were conducted against Houthi military locations in Yemen's southwestern city of Taiz.


 The Houthis' political bureau denounced the U.S. airstrikes as a "war crime."


 "Our Yemeni military forces are completely ready to react to increased aggression with even greater force," stated in a communiqué reviewed by Reuters.


 Trump approved the Houthi strike plan — which he requested be drawn up several weeks ago — late last week, and the final order was given on Saturday to begin what officials describe as a sustained attack on the group’s positions in Yemen.


 A comprehensive strike effort demanded considerable time for organization and planning as the U.S. needed to gather the essential intelligence for executing more extensive assaults against the Houthis. A high-ranking military officer has since disclosed that the intelligence gathering needed for these expanded operations has now concluded.


 Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to discuss the airstrikes. He emphasized that Houthi attacks "will not go unchecked," as stated in a summary provided by the State Department. During the previous summer, Russia had considered supplying arms to the Houthis.
 pulled back
 under pressure from both the US and Saudi Arabia.


 The Russian Foreign Ministry stated in a release that during the telephone conversation, Lavrov highlighted "the urgency of stopping military action" in Yemen immediately.


 For several months, the U.S. has been striving to weaken the Houthi forces due to their efforts in disrupting key international shipping routes through the Red Sea—a crucial maritime passage—by referring to these assaults as retaliation for Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza. This militant organization has launched strikes affecting over 100 ships and boats using various means such as drones, missiles, and smaller naval craft.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B10li" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B10li.jpg"/>

 The Biden administration aimed to address the situation by conducting precise strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. These operations included assaults on subterranean arms depots in both October and November, yet they failed to halt subsequent attacks.


 This isn’t just a single event; rather, it’s the start of a continuous sequence of incidents that could extend over several days or even weeks," explained a person close to the planning to . "We want to clarify that this does not involve an invasion or ground forces. Instead, expect a sustained campaign featuring precise and deliberate strikes.


 earlier this year, Trump issued an order labeling the Houthis as a "foreign terrorist organization."


 In his statement, Trump mentioned that the Biden administration’s stance on the Houthis was "unacceptably feeble," which allowed the unchecked Houthis to continue their actions unabated.


 "To every Houhi militant, your time has run out, and your assaults must cease beginning today. If they do not stop, you will face consequences more severe than anything previously experienced," he stated.

Ukraine Honors Third Anniversary of Bucha's Liberation From Russian Control

 The commemoration of the fallen soldiers, including those who defended Bucha in the first days of Russia’s attacks, took place at the local cemetery. Residents, relatives, friends and colleagues of the fallen soldiers gathered there. They laid flowers at the graves and lit candles.


 Mykola Kalashnyk, who leads Kyiv’s Regional Military Administration, attended the event and spoke to those present, highlighting Russia’s horrific acts. Within just 33 days of occupation, 561 individuals lost their lives.


 Russian forces rapidly took control of Bucha soon after beginning their comprehensive assault on Ukraine in February 2022, maintaining their presence there for roughly four weeks.


 When Ukrainian forces reclaimed the town, they discovered what was later referred to as the heart of the conflict's horrors.


 Civilians' mass graves were found, and numerous war crimes were recorded following its recapture in March 2022.


 This year’s memorial event was clouded by political events, as numerous Ukrainians voiced their discontent over the progress of ceasefire talks with Russia.


 The Ukrainian government and military experts suggest that Russian troops are gearing up for another major assault in the upcoming weeks to increase the strain on Kyiv and bolster the Kremlin’s stance in the truce discussions.


 The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has charged Russia with extending the negotiations for a truce as an attempt to gain additional time and capture more of Ukraine’s land.


 A single soldier attending the memorial in Bucha firmly opposed making any concessions during talks with Russia.


 "The losses were immense; I lost numerous comrades and fighters. What exactly did we fight for? Was it to cede these lands? Our constitution clearly states that this land belongs to us," stated soldier Ihor Lvutin.


 Aren’t we meant to violate our constitution? To hand everything over to the adversary? That’s why I refuse. Absolutely not.

N. Korea Threatens U.S. Reinforcements Will Be "Wiped Out" Following Stealth Jet Deployment to Japan

N Korea-US jets


 SEOUL, March 16 (Yonhap) — The official media outlet of North Korea cautioned on Sunday that should the U.S. send extra troops into battle, they would face total annihilation. This statement came after Washington announced earlier this month an increased presence of stealth fighters in Japan.


 A statement released by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency condemned the recent placement of a group of F-35B fighter jets at an airbase in Iwakuni, Japan, blaming Washington for escalating tensions surrounding the possibility of a nuclear conflict.


 The continuous buildup of combat troops aimed at preparing for potential conflicts on the Korean Peninsula is steadily heightening the uncertainty surrounding an actual armed confrontation and a possible nuclear war," the statement read. "These frantic U.S. efforts towards military provocation... offer North Korea legitimate grounds and an immediate necessity to issue stronger warnings.


 DPRK is the acronym for the official title of the North -- the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.


 The U.S. anti-communist bases... fall within the continuous surveillance and attack radius of North Korea’s limitless forces," the statement read. "All additional American military support entering the conflict will be entirely enclosed and eradicated.

DIWIDA.NEWS military, news, politics, warfare, weapons

美国国防部长海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）强调，美国针对也门境内胡塞武装的空袭将持续下去，直到胡塞武装停止袭击行动。而胡塞武装方面则宣称，他们将会让事态继续扩大。

 （德国之声中文网）美国国防部长海格塞斯周日表示，美国将持续打击也门的胡塞武装，直到他们停止对国际航运的袭击。海格塞斯在接受福克斯商业频道的采访时表示：“我要明确一点，这场行动的目的是保障航海自由和恢复威慑力。”“只要胡塞武装表示，‘我们不会再攻击你们的船只，不会再攻击你们的无人机’，我们的行动就会结束，但在此之前，我们的打击将毫不松懈。”


 美国总统特朗普也在社交媒体发文，誓言要“以压倒性的致命武力”终结胡塞武装的袭击。特朗普写道：“致所有的胡塞恐怖主义分子们，你们的时辰已到，从今天开始你们必须停止袭击行动。否则，你们将遭受前所未有的、地狱般的打击。” 特朗普同时也对伊朗发出警告，要求德黑兰当局“立即”停止对胡塞武装的支持。

<h3>
 胡塞武装称，他们的攻击目标是美国军舰
</h3>

 
 胡塞武裝方面報導稱，在週六晚間及週日淩晨時分，他們所掌控的地盤內發生了一連串爆炸事件。胡塞勢力管轄區域中的衛生部門於週日早些時候報告說，罹難者數目已增至五十三名，當中包括婦女與兒童在內；此外還有一百零一名受傷人士。
 
 據胡塞軍方聲稱，過去二十四小時之內，他們對美軍艦隊進行了第二輪攻擊，特別是針對美國海軍的一支戰鬥編組單位。這被視為一種回應行動，以報復近期由美方發起的對葉門境內行動實施的空中打擊任務。
 
 胡塞新聞官員指出，他們已經向「哈里·S·杜魯門」號（USS Harry S. Truman）发起了攻击行动。
 航空母舰及其多艘护卫舰发射了导弹和无人机
 。袭击行动发生在红海南部水域。


 胡塞武装承认对第一次袭击行动负责后不久，一名美国官员对路透社表示，美军F-16和F-18战机共击落了11架无人机。这位官员表示，美军还追踪到胡塞武装发射的一枚导弹，但该导弹未能击中目标，最后坠毁在也门境内。

 此前，胡塞武装已经发誓，将会进一步升级袭击行动。胡塞民兵领导人阿卜杜勒·马利克·胡塞（Abdul Malik al-Houthi）发表电视讲话称，只要美国继续对也门发动攻击，他们就会继续袭击红海的美国舰船。“只要他们继续侵略，我们就会继续升级袭击行动。” 此外，这位胡塞武装领导人还呼吁，本周一在胡塞武装控制区内举行“百万人大游行”，以表达对抗决心。本周一，是伊斯兰教先知穆罕默德在公元七世纪取得一场重要胜利的纪念日。

<h3>
 国际社会对空袭的反应
</h3>

 联合国秘书长古特雷斯（Antonio Guterres）呼吁“保持最大限度的克制，并停止在也门的一切军事行动。 古特雷斯通过发言人发表的一份声明中还警告称，冲突升级可能会“引发新一轮报复行动，进一步破坏也门及整个地区的稳定，并对该国本已严峻的人道主义局势构成严重威胁。”。


 与此同时，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队总司令萨拉米（Hossein Salami）否认伊朗同胡塞武装的袭击行动有任何关联。伊朗外交部长阿拉格奇（Abbas Araghchi）在社媒平台X上发表文章，敦促美国立即停止空袭行动，并表示华盛顿无权左右伊朗的外交政策。


 俄罗斯方面也敦促美国停止空袭。俄方表示，俄罗斯外长拉夫罗夫已同美国国务卿鲁比奥通话，并敦促美方“立即停止使用武力，并强调了各方进行政治对话的重要性。”


 自2023年末以色列与哈马斯爆发武装冲突以来，胡塞武装发动了多次针对国际航运的袭击，
 并称发动袭击行动是为了声援加沙的巴勒斯坦人。
