SUDAN
The UN remains deeply concerned by the escalating harm to civilians as fighting intensifies in North Darfur State.
The International Organization for Migration tells us that nearly 2,700 people were displaced following attacks on Misteriya town in the locality of Kebkabiya in recent days. A local organization, the Sudan Doctors Network, says that 28 civilians were killed and 39 others were injured in these attacks.
We call again for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure and for the parties to the conflict to adhere to their obligations under international humanitarian law.
CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
This morning, Valentine Rugwabiza, the head of our peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic, briefed the Security Council via video link.
Reflecting on the elections late last year, she said the Central African Republic reached an important milestone with the first municipal polls held since 1988, and the most extensive electoral operation ever undertaken in the Central African Republic.
Ms. Rugwabiza noted that serious security challenges persist, particularly in the southeast, in the Haut-Mbomou Prefecture. In the northeast, she added, the conflict in Sudan has driven over 11,000 refugees into the Vakaga Prefecture, adding pressure on already limited services and it is also heightening local tensions.
The Special Representative added that the mission remains engaged with local authorities and communities and continues to consolidate its presence to enhance the protection of civilians.
Finally, turning to the impact of liquidity constraints, the Special Representative said the mission is implementing efficiency measures, while ensuring that available resources are dedicated to the protection of civilians, and that the Mission’s footprint preserves coverage in priority areas.

Diving into the FBI’s Operation Winter SHIELD initiative, John Hammond, the principal security researcher at Huntress, (who also has a YouTube channel with 2.1+ million subscribers) joins host Brett Leatherman for a wide-ranging discussion on hacking trends, how not every user in your organization needs full rights access, and that a basic inventory of IT equipment can be the most important cybersecurity step you take! Starting the show, Brett is joined by Michael Machtinger, the FBI’s deputy assistant director for the Cyber Intelligence Branch. After learning how the branch supports the Bureau’s cyber mission, the two discuss “slave” hackers from North Korea, CISA’s latest recommendation for end-of-life devices, and how hackers use remote proxy servers to attack within the U.S.

“We are prosecuting the guy, the monster, and we are seeking the death penalty. That’s the stark contrast between Donald Trump Republicans and the Democrats. They refused to even stand for that victim. It actually it was heartbreaking that Iryna’s mother had to experience that. That should be nonpartisan.” – Attorney General Pam Bondi

Watch PMQs with British Sign Language (BSL) – https://youtube.com/live/lAg1LHM3LjY?feature=share
Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.
