🇺🇦⚡- "From Russia to Africa, from suits to camouflage – the Main Directorate of Intelligence safeguards Ukraine's interests across the entire planet by any means necessary.

Today, on Military Intelligence Day, we recall the unique missions of Ukrainian intelligence operatives across the globe.

On land and at sea, on the ground and in the air, in the scorching sands of deserts and the snows of icy Antarctica, the GUR MO carries out the most challenging tasks for the sake of the Fatherland.

Glory to the Ukrainian intelligence officers and glory to Ukraine!" - Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Ukrainian President Office and the former Chief of Ukraine's GUR, posts interesting photos of Ukrainian personnel on the African continent.

Rerum Novarum has covered possible GUR's presence in several key areas across the continent:
- Alleged support for the GNU in western Libya.
- Alleged support for the Sudanese Armed Forces against the Rapid Support Forces.
- Alleged support for Rwanda-backed factions in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
- Alleged support for the FLA in Mali.
- Alleged presence in Mauritania.

🇾🇪 - Ansarullah-affiliated media report they have successfully recaptured the al-Yatmah market in the al-Hazm direction of the al-Jawf region, northern Yemen.

However, the videos published and claims cannot be verified whether they are new or old.

🇾🇪 - Footage circulating online that purportedly shows PLC forces removing the Yemeni flag from territory captured from Ansarullah is being misrepresented.

The video originates from the al-Bayda' direction in southern Yemen and shows what appears to be a PLC-affiliated unit taking down the Yemeni flag. However, the personnel involved belong to the Giant Brigades, an elite ultra-conservative formation established by the former Southern Transitional Council, STC, with support from the UAE.

The Giant Brigades have historically adhered to Southern Arabian separatist ideals and, despite their current alignment with the PLC, continue to maintain a distinct political identity.

Following the collapse of the STC government and the subsequent STC-PLC clashes earlier this year, the Giant Brigades switched sides and began supporting the PLC.

The PLC itself does not reject the Yemeni flag or the concept of a unified Yemeni state. Rerum Novarum has uploaded a second video from a Giant Brigades-affiliated account showing fighters attaching the Southern Arabia flag to their technical before battle for context.
