The Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (also known as Russian Support Forces) just keep on expanding their murderous crap and disturbing the peace. :-(

UN says up to 300,000 Sudanese fled their homes after a notorious group seized their safe haven.

The military junta is in trouble and now want to recruit those that they are oppressing. :-O

Why Myanmar is only now enforcing a conscription law it's had on the books since 2010.

The Myanmar junta's decision to begin enforcing a conscription law first enacted 14 years ago is an attack on the country's young people, a "pronouncement of psychotic resolve" and likely to have unintended consequences, analysts say.

The junta's State Administrative Council (SAC) made the announcement via state media on Saturday.

All men aged 18 to 35 and women aged 18 to 27 must serve for up to two years, while specialists like doctors aged up to 45 must serve for three years.

The service could be extended to a total of five years in the ongoing state of emergency.

"The duty to safeguard and defend the nation extends beyond just the soldiers but to all citizens," junta spokesman Zaw Min Tun said.

"So I want to tell everyone to proudly follow this people's military service law."

Those who fail to comply with the draft face up to five years in prison, the legislation says......
Conscripting those who don't want you there will likely cause them more serious problems in the end.

But will it bring peace to this disfunctional country?

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry tenders resignation after Jamaica talks.

# In short: Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has tendered his resignation as head of the Caribbean nation after an escalation of violence in the capital Port-au-Prince.

# Mr Henry, who many Haitians consider corrupt, had repeatedly postponed elections saying security must first be restored.

#What's next? US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called for the creation of a "presidential college" which he said would be tasked with meeting the "immediate needs" of Haitian people.

What means peace? The absence of daily violence or street killings? Or a functionining constitutional state, even a democracy? Haiti needs peacekeepers... no... "peace enforcers" from abroad who would have to establish an occupation regime first. Nobody wants that. The same as in Gaza. So the international community (UN, US, EU, NGOs, ...) will give a few hundred million dollars for the hope that the coutry's misery disappears from world news for as long as possible.

A sustainable solution is known in El Salvador.
