*ACTION FAITH PRAYER MINISTRY WORLDWIDE* * *OPERATION PRAYER* *BULLETS/TESTIMONIES FOR ALL NATIONS* *DATE: 15/6/2026* *BY THE SENIOR PASTOR; BRO. JOSEPH OZOEMENA* *WELCOME TO OUR MONTH OF TOTAL RESTORATION.* *TOPIC:DETHRONING WITCHCRAFT MANIPULATION IN THE CHURCH PART 3* *BIBLE READING: Galatians* 3:1-3 Key Verse: “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?” — Galatians 3:1 (KJV) 2. SIGNS OF WITCHCRAFT MANIPULATION IN THE CHURCH Witchcraft manipulation often operates subtly and can infiltrate leadership, worship, and interpersonal relationships within the Church. a) Control of people’s will (Colossians 2:18–19): When individuals seek to impose their will rather than God’s, manipulation is at work. b) Substitution of the Holy Spirit’s leading (Romans 8:14): Witchcraft replaces divine guidance with emotional or human control. c) Suppression of spiritual liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17): Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty; manipulation removes freedom in worship and service. d) Promotion of fear and confusion (James 3:15–16): The fruit of witchcraft is always confusion, strife, and lack of peace. Biblical Example: Elymas the sorcerer sought to turn the governor away from faith until Paul, filled with the Spirit, rebuked and silenced him (Acts 13:6-11) .*Major crimes & security issues in Sudan – May/June 2026* The war between Sudanese Armed Forces SAF and Rapid Support Forces RSF is now in its 4th year.

@_hudsonc direct this question to your friend Al-Burhan. While criminals are being pursued in Kenya, the very same criminals are being welcomed in Port Sudan, and individuals wanted by the ICC are being protected in Merowe. Your friend is undoubtedly shielding criminals

Marhaba, This is the 53rd issue of Atar English, published by the Sudan Facts Center for Journalism. It reaches you every two weeks, bringing reporting from across Sudan. Routes and Frontlines This issue was planned, developed and written by the fifth cohort of the Sudan Facts Fellowship. This fellowship cohort included 10 journalists from five Sudanese states: Red Sea, River Nile, Al-Gadarif, Kassala and South Darfur. Like Fellowship Issue No. 50, produced by the third and fourth cohorts and published on October 17, 2024, we see this issue as a clear reflection of the programme’s impact. This can be seen in the selection of stories, the issues covered and the way they are presented. Each fellow had the opportunity to combine their own skills, experiences and interests throughout both the reporting and production process. We launched the fellowship programme in 2020 as an attempt to test the ground for the revival of professional, accountable journalism in Sudan. Today, after five fellowship cycles that have directly benefited more than 40 fellows, we are taking steps toward establishing a journalism academy, which we hope will become the first educational institution in Sudan focused on practical training for those seeking to pursue professional journalism. In This issue, we are reading: Editorial From markets to checkpoints: The shrinking space for civilians in South Darfur Mohamed Salih The unfinished cost of the Merowe Dam Om Ayman Ayoub Inside Al-Gadarif Silo: The giant storehouse feeding Sudan’s agricultural economy Mudathir Khalifa Hope and hazard: Inside the smuggling routes out of Sudan Mohamed Suleiman Geography of congestion: How war reshaped time and space in Port Sudan Doaa Alhassan Price Bulletin To read the full issue, click the link: https://t.co/n7ZngMvseu

The catastrophic tragedies, mistakes, and crimes of the tyrant Abdel Fattah al-Burhan: - Participation in the genocidal campaigns against the Masalit before the Darfur war and participation in ethnic violations and crimes against humanity during the war in Darfur after 2003, to the point where he proudly called himself "Lord of the Fur." - One of the key army officers who worked to recruit, train, arm, and protect the Janjaweed militias. - Supervising, with Hemeti, the deployment of army and Janjaweed forces to participate in the war in Yemen, a war from which the Janjaweed and the army earned hundreds of millions of dollars. - Insisting on Hemeti and the Janjaweed sharing power after the ouster of Bashir and Ibn Auf, and appointing Hemeti as deputy head of the Transitional Military Council. - Two days after Hemeti's appointment as Burhan's deputy, Burhan promoted Hemeti from lieutenant general to lieutenant general. - Adding new tasks to the Rapid Support Forces, such as counterterrorism to legalize the suppression of protesters and revolutionaries, and also adding a border protection mission, which allowed the European Union to conclude multi-million dollar deals with the Rapid Support Forces to prevent illegal immigration from Africa to Europe. - The massacre of Ramadan 8, 2019, on Nile Street, when live ammunition was used against protesters. - Ordering the dispersal of the sit-in at the General Command on June 3, 2019, which led to the deaths of hundreds of protesters, the throwing of 40 revolutionaries into the Nile after tying them to concrete slabs, and the arrest, suppression, and rape of large numbers of protesters. - Repealing Article 5 of the 2017 Rapid Support Forces Law, with all its paragraphs, which stipulated that the Rapid Support Forces were subject to the Armed Forces Law. - Amending the Rapid Support Forces Law once again, abolishing the "integration" of the Rapid Support Forces into the Armed Forces. - Cancelling the secondment of a large number of Armed Forces officers and allowing them to permanently transfer and join the Rapid Support Forces. - Granting the Rapid Support Forces headquarters and camps within the capital and even a presence within the General Command itself. - Appointing Hemedti as Vice President of the Sovereignty Council, Chairman of the Emergency Economic Committee, and Head of the Government Delegation to the Juba Agreement with the Armed Movements. - Planning and ordering the creation of tribal and racial strife, security instability, and the creation of the "Tall 9" gangs during the transitional period. - Rejecting the formation of an international committee to investigate the General Command massacre, and instead forming a sham local committee, which was then threatened, co-opted, obstructed, and prevented from announcing the results of any investigation it conducted. - Planning and ordering the closure of the port by Nazir Turk to create security, political, and economic disruption for the transitional government. - Planning and ordering the formation of the Democratic Bloc and the Banana Group, and supporting the palace sit-in. - The military coup against the transitional civilian government on October 25, 2021, in agreement with the Rapid Support Forces, the National Congress Party/NCP, and the palace sit-in group. - The arrest and house arrest of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, and the detention and imprisonment of leaders of the Forces of Freedom and Change. - Full responsibility for all the massacres and human rights violations that occurred in Khartoum and other Sudanese cities during the demonstrations rejecting the coup. - Full return of the properties and assets of the National Congress Party (NCP) confiscated by the Committee for Dismantling the June 30 Regime and Combating Corruption. - Reinstatement of the NCP members dismissed from public service, government institutions, and banks. - Granting 30% of the defense industrial system to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and appointing Abdel Rahim Dagalo to the board of directors. - Corruption related to military companies and their commercial activities, the defense industrial system, arms import deals, trafficking in the country's resources, and financial gain from granting mining rights, producing, exporting, or smuggling gold. - Full participation in drafting the framework agreement, then approving and signing it, followed by the coup and withdrawing from its implementation. - Turning a blind eye and even encouraging war threats by Islamists, NCP cadres, and ISIS. - Planning to ignite the war and create its causes and justifications by allowing Egyptian aircraft to be stationed in Merowe, and then leaking this news via military intelligence to the Rapid Support Forces. - Igniting the war on April 15, 2023, in collaboration with National Congress loyalists within the army and armed NCP militias. - Poor leadership of the war, resulting in the fall of army headquarters, garrisons, and cities one after another. - Rejecting and obstructing all peaceful attempts and initiatives to end the war (Jeddah 1, Jeddah 2, Manama, Switzerland). - The bloody use of warplanes, committing massacres by bombing civilian homes and markets, destroying bridges and vital facilities, and, worst and most criminally, targeting innocent civilians under the pretext of "Rapid Support Forces" (RSF). - Encouraging and incentivizing the creation and breeding of armed militias independent of the army, encouraging the Islamists to form what is known as "popular mobilization," arm citizens, and promote the arms trade. - Allowing armed Islamist militias to possess sophisticated weapons and drones independently of the army and without oversight. - Preventing the entry of humanitarian aid, including food and medicine, to tens of millions of Sudanese affected by the war and displaced. - Turning a blind eye, exempting from accountability, and covering up the crimes of slaughter, beheading, and extrajudicial killings committed by Islamist and ISIS groups against civilians on racist grounds in Al-Gezira and Khartoum. There may be more crimes and disastrous decisions by Burhan that my memory has not allowed me to document.
