 Hundreds feared killed in Sudan as RSF launches attack on famine-stricken camp A devastating assault by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Zamzam Camp for displaced people near al-Fasher has left hundreds dead or wounded, the foreign ministry and aid groups said on Saturday, in what some described as one of the worst violations since the war began, Reuters reported. The first wave of multiple attacks began on Thursday, according to a release from advocacy group the General Coordination of Displaced Persons and Refugees, with the assaults continuing through Friday and Saturday, destroying homes, markets, and healthcare facilities. That left "hundreds dead and wounded, the majority of whom were also women and children", the organisation said. It condemned the attack as "a war crime and crime against humanity". Similar assaults on Abu Shouk Camp earlier in the week killed 35 civilians, it added. "The humanitarian situation in al-Fasher is collapsing,"...

Wike Blames Tax Evaders For Declining IGR In FCT

The Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike says the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the Federal Capital Territory Administration will hence forth be tied to the execution of certain projects.

The Minister while speaking on some reviving projects in Abuja said IGR would enable the administration complete projects without further delay or reliance on FG’s budgetary allocation.

He therefore advised all those evading the payment of ground rents and taxes accruable to FCTA to do that without delay, emphasising that the Administration will not hesitate to step on the toes of defaulters, no matter how highly placed they are.

According to the FCT Minister, it is worrisome that the elites are mostly behind the actions frustrating FCT Administration’s efforts to restore the Abuja master plan.

Mr Wike also revealed that the administration is burdened with debt (garnishee order) to the tune of $800 million against the administration in court, hence, the need to beam searchlight on IGR to fund projects, in view of the dwindling National budgetary allocation.

Speaking on the impact of the order on the economy, the FCT Minister said the debt was enough to fund the budget of the FCTA for 10 years.

“The place is just corrupt… How do we survive it? Then you now said that we have come and that we should do miracles, which miracle? Where will I get the money to go and pay $800million?” Wike lamented.

On the N825 million compensation for indigenes that owns the lands mapped out for the construction of Abuja airport second runway, the Minister ordered the Permanent Secretary to pay up the money before the week runs out to fast track the runway construction process.
