◾Burkina Faso's interim president say that France had "no desire at all" to fight terrorists during their years long "counter-terrorism" operation in his country that involved thousands of troops.

◾Before the French led NATO invasion of Libya in 2011, there were virtually no "violent events" recorded in the Sahel region of Africa, but after the NATO war concluded, violence across the region soared. In 2020, ACLED documented 2,130 violent events linked to terrorism.

🇵🇭🇨🇳 The Philippines is preparing to join the "race" to expand the disputed islands in the South China Sea, along with China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces recently announced plans for large-scale construction on nine controlled islands.

It was already speculated in December of last year that the disputed territories under the control of the Philippines would undergo significant modernization. Local politicians at that time called for the construction of a facility on the Second Thomas Shoal to assert their territorial claims. In the same month, a new coast guard station was built on Thitu Island.

These plans indicate the intention of the Philippine defense establishment to catch up quickly. During the reign of former President Rodrigo Duterte, no such activities were carried out on the islands.

Currently, the People's Republic of China, Vietnam, and even Taiwan are strengthening their control over the territories on the islands. In this "competition," China is currently leading in terms of bulk works in the water area.

It is likely that the Philippines will also pursue the strategy of creating artificial territories to expand their holdings in the South China Sea. They may also construct military facilities, such as coast guard garrisons, to enhance their monitoring of PLA ships.

📌 The large-scale construction will undoubtedly provoke a negative reaction from China, which claims the territory. It is expected that the Chinese side will obstruct the Filipinos in every possible way during the construction, especially given how frequently it persecutes and expels Filipino fishermen from the waters. Therefore, the tension in the South China Sea will only escalate.

🎥 "The situation at Nasser Hospital for the past five days has been extremely disastrous," said Dr Nahid Abu Taiema, Head of the Surgical department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

The medical staff and patients at the hospital are enduring catastrophic conditions due to a severe shortage of medical supplies, anaesthetics, and painkillers, a consequence of the siege imposed by Israel on the facility

Middle East Eye’s correspondent in Gaza said on Thursday that the situation in Gaza is becoming increasingly dangerous, and that many people are confused due to the “random” ongoing attacks.

“The situation in the north is very difficult, it is very miserable, many areas have become very dangerous,” he said.

According to the correspondent, who is not being named for safety reasons, residents have crowded into the al-Sahaba area, al-Darraj and Shujaeyya and the Zaytoun neighbourhoods.

“It is a very scary situation, and there is also a communications blackout. People are being forced to go to high up locations to get phone signal,” he added.

“I went to go to a pitch to get phone signal, and it was immediately targeted by Israeli forces. Two people were killed and many were wounded,” he added.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 1 Feb 2024 by 21:22⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, no change in #Krynki. Not a village, but ruins. The surrounding areas are covered in craters from shells and aerial bombs. The AFUshniks are also trying to hide in them. Another group has been hit during the landing.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, northwest of #Verbovoye, the AFU managed to regain control of the western forest plantation. Perhaps our fighters were unable to confidently gain a foothold there under enemy artillery fire. Now the AFU are shelling the neighboring forest plantation and intend to try to take it too. Quite an unexpected turn. At the same time, I see no preconditions for further AFU advances.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, a video of the battle at #Sladkoye, is going viral. Our army lost both people and a lot of equipment, knocked out by drones. Obviously, ours did not have EW. Despite heavy losses, ours managed to expand the control zone by 3 sq. km. North of #Novomikhaylovka, our forces established control over the road west of the second #Zverinets and advanced along the forest plantation by about 800m. Unfortunately, also with losses.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, the most active battles are taking place on the southern outskirts of #Avdeyevka. Our military managed to cope with the AFU counterattacks and advanced along Sportivnaya Street. Given that control over this street is difficult without advancing along Sobornaya and Chernyshevsky Streets, it is likely that the AFU has been displaced there as well. To the east, our forces are advancing southwest of the Donetsk Filtration Station and have taken several more positions from the AFU. Our artillery and aviation are helping, they are hitting the AFU and helping our forces to consolidate their positions. The station is about a km away, and along the way there is a network of strongholds in the forest. The fighting will not be easy.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, west of the city, our frces advanced along the route to #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye) and expanded the bridgehead. Northwest of #Kleshcheyevka, new heights have been taken, our initiative is not given up.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, in the #Seversk sector, #Spornoye fully justifies its name (controversial), the positions are changing hands. The shelling of the AFU stronghold near the reservoir was recorded. This indirectly confirms that ours again withdrew from the centre of the village and most of #Spornoye is again under the AFU. In the #Kupyansk sector, our forces have entered #Ivanovka and are advancing towards #Kislovka. From the recently taken heights west of #Tabayevka, ours control the logistics of the AFU. This worsens their position at #Kislovka, which is a powerful fortification. Apparently, we are aiming to take the village in pincers.

☠️ Our army lost another unit of the Black Sea Fleet. At night, a dozen AFU marine drones attacked the "Ivanovets" Rocket Boat on the roadstead of Lake Donuzlav, a bay on the western side of #Crimea. The boat received direct hits, the detonations led to the sinking of the vessel. Hopefully the crew was saved. Was there electronic warfare, why are there no booms? It is unlikely that we will hear answers to these questions. There were no official messages. As, by the way, about the A-50 aircraft. The AFU tried to attack the #Belbek Airfield. A missile fell in the wasteland between the runway and the airfield fence. The likely target is our air defence, but the AFU footage shows Pantsir outlets, so most likely the target was not reached. In #Donetsk, a man was killed by a drone and in #Gorlovka, a woman was wounded.
