Sudan's Prime Minister Vows to ‘Eliminate Rebellion'
Sudan's newly appointed Prime Minister, Kamel Idris, pledged to 'completely eliminate the rebellion and all forms of rebel militias, and safeguard Sudan's national security,' while announcing the dissolution of the current government. On Sunday, Idris informed ministers in a meeting of the government's dissolution and assigned the secretaries-general and deputy ministers to manage affairs until a new government is formed. He urged countries supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to stop, calling for what he termed a 'comprehensive national healing campaign.' He said he would adopt an inclusive intra-Sudanese dialogue that excludes no one and rejects regionalism and racism 'after eliminating the rebellion.' In his first address to the Sudanese people following his swearing-in on Saturday, Idris said his priorities begin with national security, restoring the state's prestige, completely ending the ongoing rebellion, and dismantling the phenomenon of rebel militias. He promised to establish a rule of law that includes the prosecution, judiciary, constitutional court, maintaining security, and managing the transitional period and the executive apparatus efficiently and successfully to achieve security and stability in the country. Idris added that he would work on rebuilding Sudan's foreign relations, especially with neighboring countries and the wider Arab and African regions, as well as with all countries globally. The Sovereignty Council chairman and army chief, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, issued a decree on May 19 appointing Idris as prime minister, filling a position left vacant since the resignation of former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok. Hamdok resigned following the October 25, 2021 coup led by Burhan and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as 'Hemedti,' against the civilian government that was formed after the popular uprising which overthrew former President Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. This government was often referred to as the 'revolution government.' Idris, who took his oath on Saturday, previously served as Director-General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and Secretary-General of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants. He also ran against former President Omar al-Bashir in the 2010 presidential elections, receiving around 77,000 votes out of over 10 million voters. Meanwhile, on Sunday, three drones struck locations affiliated with the Rapid Support Forces in western Sudan, according to eyewitnesses. Residents reported that the airstrikes hit the center of Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state, targeting a hotel, an RSF medical unit, and RSF positions on the city's eastern outskirts.

Mon Mothma Actress Genevieve O'Reilly on Building ANDOR's Quietest Tragedy with Tony Gilroy — GeekTyrant
In a galaxy ruled by empires and explosions, some of the most devastating moments come not from space battles, but from quiet, human decisions. That's exactly what Andor Season 2 delivered in one of its most gut-wrenching scenes, thanks to a powerful collaboration between actor Genevieve O'Reilly and series creator Tony Gilroy. In Episode 3 of the new season, Mon Mothma (O'Reilly), a key architect of the rebellion, faces a deeply personal crossroads. As her daughter Leida (Bronte Carmichael) prepares to enter a traditional Chandrilan marriage, Mon—haunted by her own loveless union—offers Leida a chance to walk away. The scene doesn't hinge on action or spectacle, but it hits just as hard: a mother offering her daughter freedom, only for the daughter to choose the cage. Turns out, that emotional pivot was born from a quiet, behind the scenes conversation. 'Tony and I had discussed this when he said she was getting married and I was like, 'Oh, no, she's not gonna do this to her daughter. He's great about having character conversations with actors. 'He's so deeply collaborative and curious about the actor's perspective. I remember saying to him, 'She has to give her an out. If it's that woman who was there in Rogue One and Return of the Jedi, I understand that there's a pain within her. But if it is that woman who can be a pillar, then what would she do?'' That openness allowed space for something honest and devastating to bloom. What Mon gives her daughter is not control, but a choice. And the fallout crushed her. 'And then for Leida to turn the way she did, it just broke my heart. It's deeply brutal but it was a moment for Mon to gather herself. We saw that. We saw the pain. And I'm sure there were many reasons, but there is a power dynamic shift where Mon steps in to who she is. 'You end in this huge, big [dance] piece where you understand the chaos that everyday people have to hold. And not just everyday people, but somebody who's managing to help build rebellion; what that is and what that chaos within that woman must be.' This is what Andor continues to do better than almost anything else in the Star Wars universe, turning the rebellion into something personal. Every glance, every silence, every difficult choice deepens the story. It's not just about good versus evil. It's about what you sacrifice to do what's right, and what it costs when the people you love make different choices. Source: GamesRadar+

Dsquared2 Resort 2026 Collection
Forget roughing it in the Canadian woods in oversized survival gear, muddy boots, and mosquito nets. This season isn't about blending into the pines, as it often is a DSquared2, whose founders Dean and Dan Caten hail from the wilds of Toronto. Rather, it's about being prep school troublemakers defying the norm. 'They're proper, polished rebels.' say the designers. You can't call them rebels with a cause, unless, of course, style counts. Draped in sharply tailored linen suits worn with crocheted polos channeling Gene Kelly's Hollywood swagger, or slouched in distressed denim bombers straight out of James Dean's playbook, the DSquared2 guys channel old-school vibes with a Gen-Z edge. Their girls are just as sexy and mischievous in rugged, workwear-inspired denim cut into ultra-minis that barely graze the thigh and jarring flashes of eye-popping lace. Bralettes and barely-there lingerie tops peek out from beneath sharply tailored blazers, and zippered denim onesies cling to the body like a second skin. For the Catens, this kind of mixing of masculine and feminine codes is a declaration of personal freedom. True defiance lies in the courage to be unapologetically authentic in one's self-presentation: 'The most rebellious act is to dress exactly how you want.' On that note, they printed tees, hoodies, and swimwear with Polaroids from the 1970s and '80s by photographer Tom Bianchi whose snapshots depict Fire Island's gay community at its carefree, hedonistic height—a tribute to a once-radical queer aesthetic, blending art, identity, and resistance into everyday fashion.
