 Sudan war: Army says it inflicts heavy losses on RSF in Darfur, Kordofan Sudan’s army on Friday said that it inflicted heavy losses on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) during a series of air and ground operations carried out over the past week in the Darfur and Kordofan regions. In a statement, the military said its forces conducted strikes against RSF positions, destroying around 240 combat vehicles and killing hundreds of fighters, Anadolu Agency reported. The army said the operations also targeted what it described as RSF logistical and operational facilities, including drone-related sites and storage areas, as well as locations at Nyala Airport in South Darfur. It added that ground forces had succeeded in pushing RSF fighters out of wide areas in both Darfur and Kordofan, and that operations were ongoing to pursue remaining elements.

Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Arrested on Sex Trafficking Charges


Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries has been arrested, alongside his British partner Matthew Smith, on charges of sex trafficking.

The pair are accused of exploiting young male models at lavish events in the US and overseas, promising job opportunities with the fashion brand while subjecting the men to abuse. 

The arrests ,which also included an alleged middleman, James Jacobson, come after a year-long investigation by US prosecutors and the FBI. Jeffries, who led Abercrombie & Fitch from 1992 to 2014, and his partner have previously denied any wrongdoing. Abercrombie & Fitch has declined to comment.

Breon Peace, US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said during a press conference that the indictment alleges Jeffries and Smith subjected men to “invasive and violent sexual contact” without their consent. Peace described the operation as well-organized and heavily funded to ensure secrecy.

According to the charges, the men used “force, fraud and coercion” to manipulate their victims, who were led to believe attending these events could help secure modelling opportunities with the brand. The indictment also claims that some victims were drugged during these encounters.

This case has been hailed as a significant step towards justice for the alleged victims. Brad Edwards, a lawyer representing several of the men, described the scheme as “one of the most organised sex trafficking operations in US history.”


The allegations span several years, with eight men initially coming forward to the BBC to share their experiences at parties held in cities like New York, London, Paris, and Marrakech between 2009 and 2015. Many claimed they were pressured into sexual acts either with Jeffries, Smith, or other attendees.


The case has prompted more individuals to come forward with similar accusations of abuse. Abercrombie & Fitch, which posted $1 billion in sales last year, has condemned the allegations, stating it has “zero tolerance for abuse, harassment or discrimination of any kind.”
