Omar al-Bashir will step down as president of Sudan “soon,” after more than three months of popular demonstrations that came to a head in recent days when protesters in the thousands staged a sit-in outside the national Armed Forces headquarters in Khartoum, according to a Sudanese military source.

According to the military source, who spoke to Mada Masr on condition of anonymity, the announcement that Bashir will step down is contingent on the military, National Congress Party, security sectors and Arab backers coming to an agreement on a successor. The source adds that this successor may be an interim president who will serve for several months until a president is elected.

According to the source, this announcement is expected to come within the week.

Hassan Ismail, the Sudanese minister of information, denied a report published by news outlets that Bashir was close to handing over power to the military.

Protesters remain stationed outside the military headquarters in Khartoum — which also houses the National Intelligence and Security Service headquarters, Bashir’s official residence and the Defense Ministry — and the situation remains “very tense,” eyewitnesses tell Mada Masr. At dawn on Monday, security forces tried to disperse the sit-in by firing tear gas and live bullets into the air, but the military returned fire, pushing security forces back and allowing protesters to resume their demonstration.

While the military source says that inner circles of the Sudanese state and international actors are narrowing in on a candidate, the opposition Freedom and Change Coalition announced Monday in a press conference the formation of a committee to engage in dialogue with the military about a transition plan, making it unclear who exactly will fill the vacuum in a post-Bashir landscape.

MI5 head Andrew Parker summons Jeremy Corbyn for ‘facts of life’ talk on terror | News | The Sunday Times

Jeremy Corbyn has been summoned for a personal briefing by the head of MI5 on the terrorist threat to Britain amid questions about his approach to national security.

Andrew Parker, the director-general of the Security Service, is expected to give the Labour leader a “full briefing” on the threat from Islamists in Britain and Isis jihadists returning from the Middle East to plot atrocities on home soil.

The MI5 boss also wants to prime Corbyn on the extent of hostile Russian espionage activity and the growing threat from far-right extremists.

Two senior government sources said the meeting was scheduled for Tuesday so that Corbyn could “begin to understand the facts of life” about threats he has a habit of playing down.

Sudan: The ICC and the Crime of Genocide

The International Criminal Court (hereafter the ICC) first indicted the Sudanese head of State, Omar Hassan Ahmad Al-Bashir, in March 2009 for the crimes committed by the Sudanese Armed Forces, the National Intelligence and Security Service, and affiliated Arab militias in the course of the Darfur civil war that broke out in early 2003.

Western media, NGOs or governments have occasionally embraced the depiction of the Darfur conflict made by the Sudanese government.That is: a conflict opposing autochthonous African rebels – mainly factions belonging to the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) – to the Arab government of Sudan over issues such as power-sharing, resource-sharing, or traditional land rights. This common representation of the conflict obscures the fact that Arab tribes instrumentalized by the government of Sudan suffer the same structural and systemic discrimination as African tribes do in Darfur. It also begs the question of former transnational affiliations of JEM and SLA factions to Chad or Libya.

Head of UKROP party detained on kidnapping suspicions; his allies outraged (UPDATED)
▻http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/ukrop-party-claims-its-head-korban-detained-by-sbu-401057.html

Gennady Korban, Dnipropetrovsk businessman and head of the recently founded UKROP party, was detained in Dnipropetrovsk by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) on the morning of Oct. 31. The offices and homes of his associates were searched.

SBU and Prosecutor General’s Office confirmed they were conducting a large-scale joint operation against an organized crime group in Dnipropetrovsk.

“There is no political component in this case,” SBU prosecutor Vladyslav Kutsenko said at a briefing in Kyiv on Oct. 31. “We don’t care which political party the suspects represent.”

UKROP has called the arrest and the searches an act of “political repression.”

Korban is suspected of kidnapping several people during his time as deputy governor of Dnipropetrovsk in 2014-2015 and is facing eight to 15 years of prison. One of them, according to the investigators, was Oleksandr Velychko, a director of the law department in Dnipropetrovsk City Council, allegedly kidnapped to force a change of the city’s mayor back in 2014.
[…]
Korban, a Dnipropetrovsk businessman and a renowned self-admitted corporate raider, launched UKROP party in 2015 with a financial support of his friend, Ukraine’s second richest oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky.

Students hand professor over to security service for making pro-separatist statements
▻http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/students-hand-professor-over-to-security-service-for-making-pro-separatist

The peculiar nature of the conflict in Ukraine, which has not officially been declared a war but has now killed nearly 7,000 people, has produced a strange result: an air of suspicion along the front line so strong it prompts ordinary residents to hunt for “separatists” among their own neighbors and friends.

On Aug. 13, the Security Service of Ukraine announced it had issued an official warning to a university professor in the western city of Zhytomyr after his own students ratted him out for expressing support for Russia’s actions in eastern Ukraine.

SBU spokeswoman Irina Martynyuk said in a statement that “if (the professor) repeats these actions he will be detained and his actions will be prosecuted under the Criminal Code.”
[…]
Alexander Demchenko, the head of the “Stop Separatism” volunteer group, has taken the initiative a step further and begun serving as a go-between for ordinary residents and the SBU.

“People living near the front are often afraid to call the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) or just can’t get through, and some don’t even know where to send such information. My partner and I have been collecting complaints (about separatists) for a year now and passing them on to the SBU,” Demchenko said.

When he first started, he said, most of the calls came from Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv, with several tips a day, whereas now most calls come from Kyiv.

In one case, he said, a man had called to complain about his mother-in-law defending Russia’s actions over dinner.
[…]
Not everyone is supportive of the widespread initiative to track down separatist collaborators, however.

In an editorial published by Inforesist.org on Aug. 14, Semyon Gluzman, a former Soviet dissident and the head of the Ukrainian Psychiatric Association, warned that people could abuse the hotline to settle personal scores.

“With us, separatism is starting to be rooted out and persecuted using the recipe of Yozhov and Beria. (Nikolai Yozhov and Lavrentiy Beria, two heads of the Soviet secret police under dictator Josef Stalin). Publicly calling for the population to spot those who are not content (with the current situation). I would like to ask one question: what percentage of people living in shelled, starving and socially deprived villages in Donbas are content? And what percentage of the so-called content people wouldn’t use the opportunity to tattle on “separatists” to settle scores with their previous enemies, their annoying neighbor or ex-husband who doesn’t want to pay alimony?”

Yuriy Lutsenko : Mukacheve incident is a collision between mafia and militants
▻http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/yuriy-lutsenko-mukacheve-incident-collision-between-mafia-militants-393319

The events in Mukacheve, Zakarpattia oblast, were a result of the conflict of interests between illegal armed groups and a mafia overtly cooperating with law enforcers, says Yuriy Lutsenko, the leader of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc parliamentary faction.

He was referring to a shooting incident that occurred in Mukacheve on July 11 between members of Right Sector, an extremist organization banned in Russia, and police officers, in which three people were killed and at least eleven injured.

Conflict between Right Sector and government escalates
▻http://www.kyivpost.com/content/kyiv-post-plus/right-sector-withdraws-from-front-as-conflict-with-government-escalates-vi

Representatives of the Right Sector said on July 12 that it was withdrawing some of its fighters from the war zone as the tense standoff between the nationalist group and the authorities escalated.

Observers have linked the conflict to cigarette smuggling in Zakarpattya Oblast, while the Right Sector describes the standoff as part of the government’s crackdown on volunteer units.

Chorny, commander of the fifth battalion of the Right Sector’s Ukrainian Volunteer Corps, and Dmytro Savchenko, a spokesman for the right-wing group, said fighters of the fifth battalion were withdrawing from the war zone. Savchenko said they would take part in a Right Sector protest in Kyiv, though he added they were not going there “with assault rifles and machine guns.”

The statements were contradicted by Alla Megel, head of the corps’ information department, and Andrei Sharaskin, the corps’ spokesman. They told the censor.net.ua news site that the unit’s fighters were staying on the front line.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) demanded that a group of armed Right Sector activists near the city of Mukacheve in Zakarpattya Oblast lay down their weapons. The SBU said it would start arresting the activists if they refused to be disarmed.
[…]
Following the shootout, the Right Sector activists retreated to the village of Lavky near Mukacheve and then went along a mountain ridge towards the town of Perechyn and Velyky Berezny District, Mustafa Nayyem, a lawmaker from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc, wrote on Facebook on July 12. Right Sector leader Dmytro Yarosh arrived in Mukacheve on the same day in an effort to settle the conflict.

President Petro Poroshenko, SBU Chief Vasyl Hrytsak and Interior Minister Arsen Avakov are currently holding negotiations with Yarosh, Nayyem said.

Prosecutors : Corrupt Ukrainian officials on border with separatist territories sell passports, help draft dodgers
▻http://www.kyivpost.com/content/kyiv-post-plus/prosecutors-corrupt-ukrainian-officials-on-border-with-separatist-territor

“A range of illegal and corrupt actions by officials of the armed forces of Ukraine, other military units, law enforcement agencies involved in anti-terrorism operations in Donetsk and Luhansk, and local officials has been uncovered,” the Prosecutor General’s Office announced in a statement on May 25.

• During an operation with the Security Service of Ukraine from May 21-23, military prosecutors arrested the head of the migration service in an undisclosed city in the Donetsk Oblast for selling Ukrainian passports to residents of Russian-controlled territories in Ukraine, the statement said.

The unidentified suspect, arrested on May 23, had been charging Hr 8,000 [≈400 €] for each passport, according to the statement. It was unclear how many passports he had sold.
[…]
• In a more alarming incident, the commander of a mechanized infantry battalion faces up to eight years in prison for bribing another official to help him move loaded vehicles into occupied territory.

It was unclear what the vehicles contained and where they were placed.

• A senior officer managing a military enlistment office in the Donetsk Oblast was also arrested as part of the sting operation. He’d allegedly accepted a Hr 12,000 [≈600 €] bribe to help a man dodge military service.

Le système extrêmement contraignant des permis pour l’accès aux zones séparatistes est évidemment une bénédiction pour ce genre de trafic. On rappelle, à ce sujet, que l’OSCE critique la lourdeur bureaucratique du système.

The Ukrainian government introduced a strict permit system on the border with separatist-controlled territories for safety reasons, to prevent separatists from transporting illegal goods or carrying out acts of sabotage in Ukrainian territory.

Hennadiy Moskal, head of the neighboring Luhansk Oblast, has repeatedly sounded the alarm over corruption at these Ukrainian-controlled checkpoints into the Russian-controlled areas of Luhansk.

“When we were stopping trucks (carrying contraband), the drivers would often just be sitting there, frying eggs, resting. We’d ask ‘Why aren’t you going?’ And they’d honestly answer, ‘We’re waiting for our shift at the checkpoint,” Moskal said in an interview with Ukrainian journalists on May 22.

#Ukraine : grogne des nationalistes aux abords du Parlement
▻http://fr.euronews.com/2014/10/14/ukraine-grogne-des-nationalistes-aux-abords-du-parlement

A Kiev, des milliers de personnes ont manifesté ce mardi devant le Parlement. Nombre d’entre elles brandissaient des drapeaux du parti nationaliste #Svoboda. Et le portrait du très controversé #Stepan_Bandera – qualifié de héros ukrainien par les uns, et de collaborateur des Nazis par les autres – était clairement affiché.

Des protestataires ont lancé des pavés et des pétards sur le siège du Parlement, touchant plusieurs policiers.

Le Parlement n’a pas voté un projet de loi visant à reconnaître les membres de l’Armée insurrectionnelle ukrainienne de Stepan Bandera comme des combattants pour l’indépendance ukrainienne lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le vote n’a même pas été mis à l’ordre du jour après sept tentatives du président du Parlement, selon des médias ukrainiens.

Le parti Svoboda, qui avait auparavant organisé une réunion pour exhorter les députés à voter en faveur du projet de loi, a assuré que ses adhérents n’avaient aucun lien avec les violences près du Parlement.

Il n’y a donc pas de partis d’extrême-droite en Ukraine ?

Good Wine retailer accuses SBU of soliciting bribe

http://www.kyivpost.com/media/images/2014/08/18/p18vkra0fg190p1ac51o8j1k8j18kr4/big.jpg

Alcohol retailer Bureau of Wines, a major importer of alcohol that operates three Good Wine stores in Kyiv and Donetsk, is accusing the Security Service of #Ukraine (SBU) of pursuing false tax evasion charges in order to solicit a bribe.
(…)
In particular, the punishment forces the wine retailer to obtain a license for each foreign transaction individually. Currently, the company operates under a single license.

“We have around 140 deals every month. Getting individual licenses for each is simply impossible,” said Maria Oleynik, marketing director of Bureau of Wines, adding the retailer sells one third of all imported alcohol in Kyiv.

The sanctions were levied at the behest of the SBU, according to the Economy Ministry. Moreover, the company says that the security agency encouraged it to “solve the problem in person with SBU officers,” which it considers to be “a sign of #corruption,” reads the company’s statement.
(…)
Good Wine not alone
Alcohol beverage retailers Vinfort in Odessa, Arda-Trading, Bayadera-Import and Akvavit also face similar sanctions that also will go into effect on Sept. 4, the Kyiv Post has learned. Vinfort is challenging the allegations and the first court hearing is scheduled for Aug. 19.

U.S. Surveillance Is Not Aimed at Terrorists - Bloomberg
▻http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-23/u-s-surveillance-is-not-aimed-at-terrorists.html

In a January 2012 report titled “Jihadism on the Web: A Breeding Ground for Jihad in the Modern Age,” the Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service drew a convincing picture of an Islamist Web underground centered around “core forums.” These websites are part of the Deep Web, or Undernet, the multitude of online resources not indexed by commonly used search engines.

No Data

The Netherlands’ security service, which couldn’t find recent data on the size of the Undernet, cited a 2003 study from the University of California at Berkeley as the “latest available scientific assessment.” The study found that just 0.2 percent of the Internet could be searched. The rest remained inscrutable and has probably grown since. In 2010, Google Inc. said it had indexed just 0.004 percent of the information on the Internet.

Websites aimed at attracting traffic do their best to get noticed, paying to tailor their content to the real or perceived requirements of search engines such as Google. Terrorists have no such ambitions. They prefer to lurk in the dark recesses of the Undernet.

“People who radicalise under the influence of jihadist websites often go through a number of stages,” the Dutch report said. “Their virtual activities increasingly shift to the invisible Web, their security awareness increases and their activities become more conspiratorial.”

Radicals who initially stand out on the “surface” Web quickly meet people, online or offline, who drag them deeper into the Web underground. “For many, finally finding the jihadist core forums feels like a warm bath after their virtual wanderings,” the report said.

When information filters to the surface Web from the core forums, it’s often by accident. Organizations such as al-Qaeda use the forums to distribute propaganda videos, which careless participants or their friends might post on social networks or YouTube.

Communication on the core forums is often encrypted. In 2012, a French court found nuclear physicist Adlene Hicheur guilty of, among other things, conspiring to commit an act of terror for distributing and using software called Asrar al-Mujahideen, or Mujahideen Secrets. The program employed various cutting-edge encryption methods, including variable stealth ciphers and RSA 2,048-bit keys.

The NSA’s Prism, according to a classified PowerPoint presentation published by the Guardian, provides access to the systems of Microsoft Corp. (and therefore Skype), Facebook Inc., Google, Apple Inc. and other U.S. Internet giants. Either these companies have provided “master keys” to decrypt their traffic - - which they deny — or the NSA has somehow found other means.

Traditional Means

Even complete access to these servers brings U.S. authorities no closer to the core forums. These must be infiltrated by more traditional intelligence means, such as using agents posing as jihadists or by informants within terrorist organizations.

Similarly, monitoring phone calls is hardly the way to catch terrorists. They’re generally not dumb enough to use Verizon. Granted, Russia’s special services managed to kill Chechen separatist leader Dzhokhar Dudayev with a missile that homed in on his satellite-phone signal. That was in 1996. Modern-day terrorists are generally more aware of the available technology.

At best, the recent revelations concerning Prism and telephone surveillance might deter potential recruits to terrorist causes from using the most visible parts of the Internet. Beyond that, the government’s efforts are much more dangerous to civil liberties than they are to al-Qaeda and other organizations like it.
