Republican to force vote on ousting GOP Rep. Cory Mills from committees​



“… Democrats have repeatedly threatened such a move against the embattled Florida Republican, but only as a retaliatory tactic to quash GOP censure measures. Mace wants to do it for real this time.
  • Democrats triggered a vote Tuesday on censuring Mills and kicking him off the Armed Services Committee but withdrew it after a GOP measure to censure Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) failed narrowly.
  • That outraged some Republicans, who accused leadership in both parties of cutting a "backroom deal" to rescue both Plaskett and Mills.
The details: Mace's censure measure will touch on the wide array of allegations against Mills, including domestic abuse, stolen valor and financial misconduct, all of which he denies….”
 
I'm almost certain Trump has no fucking clue what he's getting into here, or how he's being played.

Saudi-UAE Rivalry Underpins Sudan Conflict - Africa Defense Forum

Sudan’s 2-year-old war began as a fight for supremacy between the leaders of the national Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF), but it has evolved into a proxy struggle between two Persian Gulf nations looking to expand their influence in Africa. On the SAF’s side...

Sudan’s 2-year-old war began as a fight for supremacy between the leaders of the national Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF), but it has evolved into a proxy struggle between two Persian Gulf nations looking to expand their influence in Africa.

On the SAF’s side is Saudi Arabia, whose relationship with Sudan goes back to the 1950s. Saudi leaders have cultivated a relationship with SAF leader Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who also is Sudan’s de facto leader. Al-Burhan visited Saudi Arabia in March to discuss strengthening relations between the two countries.

The United Arab Emirates has thrown its weight behind the RSF, channeling weapons to the Darfur-based fighters through humanitarian operations for displaced Sudanese living in Chad. The UAE has built its relationship with the RSF around gold smuggled into the UAE from mines controlled by the militia’s leader, Gen. Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo.

The two monarchies’ strategies in Sudan reflect the ways their international priorities have diverged in recent years, according to analyst Elfadil Ibrahim. Two nations that once were closely aligned geopolitically have become rivals.

“Ultimately, Sudan is paying the price for this fractured Gulf relationship,” Ibrahim wrote recently for Responsible Statecraft. “As long as the rivalry persists, Sudan will remain tragically caught in the crossfire.”
