 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence. Police later said that after reviewing available evidence, including CCTV footage and digital devices, the investigation had concluded that “the evidential threshold had not been met” and no further action would be taken.

SUDANESE ARMY ALLY CLAIMS MAJOR INTERCEPTION OF RSF MILITARY SUPPLIES. (PHOTO).


 Sudanese army ally claims major interception of RSF military supplie


Forces fighting alongside Sudan's army said on Friday they had intercepted a substantial quantity of military supplies from a convoy destined for the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in North Darfur, Reuters reported.


The RSF denied that a convoy had been attacked, telling Reuters the statement from the Joint Forces was "incorrect and mere lies." Reuters was unable to independently verify the claims.


The Joint Forces, which include former rebel groups allied with the Sudanese army, accused the RSF of bringing in the supplies for the indiscriminate shelling of neighbourhoods in al-Fashir, the army's last holdout in the Darfur region, and Omdurman, as well as camps for displaced people.


The RSF has launched repeated attacks in North Darfur, including at the famine-stricken Zamzam camp south of al-Fashir earlier this month.


The RSF denies indiscriminate shelling of residential areas or targeting civilians, and accuses the Joint Forces of using human shields.


The convoy, intercepted southeast of al-Fashir, contained a large amount of military supplies, including 10,000 rounds of 40mm artillery shells, 12,000 rounds of howitzer shells, and various rockets and bombs, the Joint Forces statement said.


The Joint Forces said they also "neutralized" foreign mercenaries, without giving further details. In recent months the Joint Forces said they had intercepted Colombian mercenaries, prompting apologies from the South American country.


A power struggle between Sudan's army and the RSF erupted into warfare in April 2023 ahead of a planned transition to civilian rule, triggering a massive displacement and hunger crisis.


On Thursday, the U.N. human rights chief warned of further escalation in Sudan and said there was a growing risk of deaths from starvation on a wide scale.
