    The deaths include at least 56 civilians killed by the Rapid Support Forces over two days of attacks in Um Kadadah, a town they seized on the road to El Fasher.

      Palestinian medic attacked in Gaza is being detained in Israel, says ICRC

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 13 April

    Palestinian Red Crescent says Assad al-Nsasrah was ‘forcibly abducted’ while carrying out humanitarian work

    A Palestinian paramedic who has been missing since a massacre of medics and rescue workers by Israeli troops in Gaza last month is being detained in Israel, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

    The whereabouts of Assad al-Nsasrah, a Palestinian paramedic, had been unknown for weeks since an incident on 23 March when workers from the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS) and Palestinian civil defence came under fire as they drove ambulances to rescue injured colleagues in the southern city of Rafah.

      The Guardian view on neighbourhood police: bobbies on the beat can’t do everything | Editorial

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 13 April

    Rises in shoplifting and other crimes require a response. But the police will have to work hard to regain public trust

    It is difficult to square last week’s announcement of the first tranche of 13,000 extra neighbourhood police, across England and Wales, with the threat of job cuts that also looms over the 43 forces. As in other public services, there is a risk that launching new projects at a time of overstretched budgets will shift resources rather than increase capacity. That said, an approach to policing that stresses local connectedness has had good results in the past. Labour is right to follow through on its manifesto pledge on neighbourhood teams, but delivery alone is not a substitute for strategy.

    Recent rises in shoplifting and robbery offences have alarmed sections of the public as well as businesses. The Greater Manchester scheme, which the prime minister cites as a model, has had good results , with burglaries down by a third between 2021 and 2024 and a renewed partnership with retailers.

      Van der Poel fends off Pogacar and bottle thrown at face to win Paris-Roubaix

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 13 April

    • Dutchman earns third straight win despite bottle attack
    • Denmark’s Pedersen also suffers puncture

    Mathieu van der Poel overcame a bottle thrown at his face, a puncture and a fierce challenge by the world champion, Tadej Pogacar, to claim his third straight victory in the Queen of the Classics.

    The debutant Pogacar, who was looking to become the first Tour de France winner to also prevail in the “Hell of the North” since Bernard Hinault in 1981, overcooked a turn and lost his balance on a cobbled section, leaving his rival clear one week after taming the Dutchman on the Tour of Flanders .

      The Guardian view on Donald Trump’s Congo deal: mineral riches for protection | Editorial

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 13 April

    Faced with regional chaos and shrinking options, Kinshasa seeks terms of trade that echo the old extractive order in modern disguise

    “The vilest scramble for loot that has ever disfigured the history of human conscience” is how Joseph Conrad described colonial-era concessions granted to private companies for Congo’s natural resources in Heart of Darkness . Under Donald Trump, that scramble may be back. If news reports are right, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is offering the US a blunt deal: minerals for military help – a slice of sovereignty traded for a shot at stability.

    The concern is this isn’t a return, it’s a sequel. For three decades, Washington supported Joseph-Désiré Mobutu , a cold war ally and brutal dictator who looted the Congo until his 1997 fall. That history of power politics still casts a long shadow. The Trump administration openly favours muscle over diplomacy. Fadhel Kaboub, an associate professor of economics at Denison University, notes that Biden-era talk of partnering for clean energy has been shelved, with the US driven less by green goals than by copper and cobalt for missiles and microchips.
