‘We Want Peace’: Civilians in Sudan push back against SAF’s reign, calls for RSF-led peace

‘We Want Peace’: Civilians in Sudan push back against SAF’s reign, calls for RSF-led peace

The civil conflict in Sudan, reignited in April 2023, has taken a more disturbing turn. Far from being a balanced war between two military entities, recent reports and eyewitness accounts suggest a grim reality that the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have become the perpetrators of violence against their own people.  

From a rare glimpse inside RSF-controlled territories, areas that are almost never covered by major international news outlets, we see a starkly different reality emerging. Citizens across the country are speaking out, calling the SAF, once seen as the guardian of the nation, a force consistently carrying out a coordinated campaign of terror against their own people.

In contrast, several civilians have noted that another paramilitary force, Rapid Support Forces – the Government of Peace and Unity have taken a visibly different approach. This approach centres on peace negotiations, civilian safety and calls for democratic transition.  

According to locals, the RSF is fighting not for democracy or sovereignty but to preserve their grip on the country’s gold, finance and agriculture.  

Residents further describe the SAF’s campaign as one of terror with allegations including the use of internationally banned weapons, including chemical weapons and supplied drones.  

“In truth, since the beginning of the war, the Islamic Movement’s army has brought in some internationally prohibited weapons, which has resulted in losses among civilians in several cities. Honestly, we denounce, condemn, and reject this aggression. In any case, it must be stopped, and this assault by the Islamic Movement and the soldiers must be condemned,” stressed Mohammed Adam.  

These tools of war have not been confined to battlefields only but directed at civilian spaces such as markets, homes and schools and leaving behind a trail of mass casualties.  

One citizen said that SAF airstrikes had killed 25 of his neighbours in a single day while another described another attack, where dozens of children, women and elderly people lost their lives. These are not isolated incidents but part of what many call a systematic campaign against Sudanese communities. 

“The aircraft have destroyed us, killed our neighbours, killed our children… The airstrikes hit our neighbours and killed twenty-five people. There are many dead. We are hoping for a new government that can protect us,” quoted Mohammed Ibrahim.  

After two years of continued brutality against civilians, there have been growing and urgent calls for peace in Sudan by international organisations.  

On the other hand, the Rapid Support Forces – the Government of Peace and Unity, are gaining unexpected support from civilians on the ground. This is largely because of their continued efforts to bring peace and unity in the country.  

Reports claim that in recent months, the RSF leader has repeatedly participated in international peace efforts, called for ceasefires, and engaged with humanitarian agencies to secure aid routes. 

In one of the interviews, one community member Mustafa noted that RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, widely known as Hemedti, has extended his hand for peace in every forum since the beginning of the war. “He is seeking peace, but the other party remains stubborn and refuses to negotiate,” he said. 

While the SAF rejects dialogue and pushes for the unconditional disarmament of its opponents, the RSF has shown openness to compromise and accountability. Its leadership has emphasized the need for a civilian-led future and has urged international partners to support democratic transition efforts. 

The narrative being presented by the citizens of Sudan is clear that the SAF, long seen as the defender of the state, is now viewed as an aggressor aligned with a regressive and militarized elite. Meanwhile, the RSF is beginning to be seen as a force willing to support peace and the people’s demand for change. 

At present, there is an urgent need for the international community to confront these realities as Sudan is not simply at war, but it is being torn apart by a military that has turned on its own.

Disclaimer:
This article contains viewpoints and testimonies sourced from civilians and reports within conflict zones in Sudan. While every effort has been made to reflect these perspectives accurately, the situation on the ground is fluid and subject to change. The information presented, particularly concerning the actions of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), is based on eyewitness accounts and unverified claims that may not represent the full scope of the conflict.

Papa Biji aur Makhani Sets Ambitious Goal of 100 Outlets Across India in 24 Months

Papa Biji aur Makhani Sets Ambitious Goal of 100 Outlets Across India in 24 Months

Pune, Maharashtra | July 15, 2025 – In an era where India’s Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) market is flooded with imitation menus and homogenized tastes, one brand is rapidly carving a niche by doing the opposite—delivering authentic, deeply rooted North Indian cuisine with a fresh perspective. Papa Biji aur Makhani (PBM), the flagship QSR venture from Trijya Foods and Beverages LLP, is on a mission to open 100 outlets across India over the next 24 months.

PBM currently operates successful outlets in Nashik, Nagpur, Ahilyanagar (Pune), Thane, Dombivli, and Mumbai (Prabhadevi), with 20 more outlets in advanced stages of launch across 15 cities including Kolhapur, Shirdi, Shegaon, and select metro and tier-2 cities in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Goa.

With food that combines nostalgia, heritage, and innovation, PBM has quickly become a name to reckon with among food lovers who crave genuine flavour over fast-food pretenders. At its heart, PBM celebrates the culinary essence of North India—carefully preserving traditional recipes while adapting them for modern diners.

“PBM was never meant to be just another QSR,” says Raj Hesi, Co-founder and Director at Trijya Foods and Beverages LLP. “We are reimagining Indian food the way it’s meant to be—delicious, clean, made with the finest ingredients, and delivered with pride. Our commitment is not just to business but to building a brand people trust with their meals, their families, and their memories.”

Every outlet serves a thoughtfully curated menu, blending traditional North Indian favourites with regional delights and youth-friendly fusions. From rich and comforting Dal Bukhara to modern, handheld chaats and wraps, the offerings strike a perfect balance between flavour, tradition, and excitement. Each recipe is curated by chefs and culinary experts with in-depth knowledge of regional cuisines, ensuring that what’s served on the plate is both authentic and delightful.

Co-founder and culinary strategist Shilpa Parandekar adds, “At PBM, quality is not an option—it’s a foundation. We go the extra mile to source ingredients from the most trusted regional suppliers and maintain stringent hygiene protocols and SOPs at every outlet. Our kitchens are built for consistency, and our staff trained not just in operations but in hospitality values.”

The company’s expansion is supported by its hospitality arm, TCG Hospitality, which manages everything from location planning and kitchen design to staff training and marketing rollouts.

This robust backend ensures that every PBM outlet, regardless of geography, delivers the same signature taste and customer experience.

PBM’s growth model is powered by two scalable formats—PBM QSR and PBM Chaat Express. While PBM QSR caters to full-day dining with breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner options, Chaat Express is a compact and vibrant setup designed for high-footfall zones, offering 30+ chaat variations, fusion dishes, and quick bites. Both models are supported by centralized supply chains, integrated POS systems, and data-driven inventory controls.

With franchise interest growing steadily, the company is offering these models under a Franchise-Owned, Company-Operated (FOCO) format, ensuring consistent quality and stress-free operations for franchise partners. The QSR format is tailored for spaces above 600 sq. ft., while the Chaat Express model is ideal for smaller setups in malls, campuses, and commercial streets.

PBM’s growing presence has already stirred positive response in every market it has entered. In Nashik, the outlet has become a hotspot for families and foodies; in Nagpur, it is drawing repeated footfalls from office-goers and college youth alike. In Mumbai’s Prabhadevi, the compact outlet regularly sees queues on weekends and a steady stream of loyal customers.

Online reviews across all outlets consistently praise the quality, hygiene, and most importantly, the food that “tastes like home, but feels new every time.”

The brand is also banking on its strong digital-first marketing strategies, local engagement campaigns, and food influencer partnerships to drive footfall and buzz across new markets. By leveraging content-driven campaigns, food festivals, and hyperlocal targeting, PBM aims to not only build customer retention but also contribute to mall and high street footfall wherever it launches.

Over the next two years, PBM aims to expand across Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Goa, before venturing into the national and international market. Conversations are already underway with mall developers and real estate partners across tier-2 and tier-3 towns, where the demand for clean, tasty, and trustworthy Indian food is higher than ever.

With a clear vision and tested execution model, PBM is positioned to become one of India’s most beloved Indian food QSR brands. At a time when the market is saturated with multi-cuisine confusion and poor-quality shortcuts, PBM is proving that being rooted in authenticity is not just refreshing—but revolutionary.

JAIN Online Launches India’s First Project-Based Online MBA in AI for Business Professionals

JAIN Online Launches India’s First Project-Based Online MBA in AI for Business Professionals

Bangalore, India – 11.07.2025: JAIN Online, the digital learning platform of JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), a UGC-entitled and NAAC A++ accredited institution, has announced the launch of India’s first fully project-based Online MBA in Artificial Intelligence. Designed specifically for working professionals, this program blends academic depth with practical AI application, offering a unique pathway to business leadership in the AI-driven future.

Delivered entirely online with live weekend sessions, the program enables ambitious professionals to pursue their MBA without interrupting their careers. Over the course of two years, students complete more than 50 industry-aligned AI projects, culminating in a portfolio of intelligent tools and systems developed through no-code, agentic AI platforms.

“This is not just a degree,” said Chenraj Roychand, Chancellor, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University). “It is a transformational model of business education where academic learning is deeply integrated with real-world application. Our students graduate with two years of hands-on experience in building and deploying AI systems that solve actual business challenges. This is the future of education – immersive, practical, and outcome-oriented. We are preparing future-ready leaders who are not just familiar with technology but capable of driving meaningful change through it.”

A Business Degree Built for the AI Economy

Artificial Intelligence is no longer optional. It’s now at the core of business strategy, marketing, finance, and human resources. According to recent reports, over 75% of companies globally plan to adopt AI within the next three years, underscoring the urgent need for business leaders to become AI-literate. AI is expected to transform 38 million jobs in India by 2030, significantly impacting the workforce and economy. AI adoption in key Indian sectors reached 48% in FY24, indicating a rapid integration of AI across industries.

JAIN Online’s new MBA addresses this gap by enabling learners to build real AI-powered business systems, regardless of their technical background. The program is open to graduates from all disciplines and requires no prior coding or IT experience.

The MBA offers four domain-focused tracks: AI-Driven Business Strategy, AI-Driven Finance, AI-Driven Marketing, and AI-Driven Human Resources. Each track integrates no-code AI tools with domain-specific learning, ensuring students develop capabilities aligned to the expectations of today’s data-driven organisations. Participants apply AI to solve live challenges such as automating logistics, enhancing customer engagement, forecasting financial performance, and improving talent acquisition.

“AI is the future of work and leadership, not just for tech professionals, but for everyone,” said Varun Jain, Member of the Chancellor’s Council. “We believe that an MBA should combine academic rigour with practical, future-facing skills. This course brings this vision to life by enabling professionals to graduate with both a respected MBA and hands-on experience across 50+ AI projects. This is the new standard for business education, designed for those who aim to lead in a world shaped by intelligent technologies.”

Designed for Working Professionals

The program is built around the needs of working adults. Live weekend classes, flexible pacing, and project-based assessments ensure accessibility without compromising rigour. Importantly, the program enables learners to graduate with a team of AI bots — custom-built automation and decision-support systems developed during the course, ready for deployment in real business environments.

Applications Now Open

Enrollment is now open for the inaugural cohort. With limited seats to preserve mentorship quality and project immersion, interested professionals are encouraged to apply early. Admissions and program details are available at www.mbaonline.ai.

Indian Tattoo Artist Jimmy Kalyana (@jimmyartifex) Makes Global Waves with Emotion-Driven Ink and Freehand Mastery

Indian Tattoo Artist Jimmy Kalyana (@jimmyartifex) Makes Global Waves with Emotion-Driven Ink and Freehand Mastery

Pushkar, India – July 2025 – In a tattoo industry overflowing with templates and trends, one artist is reclaiming the essence of pure, personalized body art. Jimmy Kalyana—better known online as @jimmyartifex—has emerged as a rising name in the global tattoo scene. With over seven years of professional experience, he blends freehand flow with precise stencil work to create tattoos that feel raw, intentional, and deeply connected to each individual’s story.

Based in the artistic town of Pushkar, India, and now working independently with an international client base, especially from Israel and Europe, Jimmy’s tattoos stand out for their emotional depth and technical finesse. His unique blend of fine-line detailing, dark floral abstraction, ornamental flow, bio-organic structures, and symbolic blackwork has drawn the attention of tattoo lovers across cultures.

“I don’t believe in one way of working. Some tattoos I draw directly on the skin, feeling the energy and letting the design evolve naturally. Others are detailed stencil compositions—especially when we need structure. The balance between both is what gives each piece its power,” says Jimmy.

From Local Sketches to Global Ink

Jimmy’s journey began in the roots of rural India, sketching every day, obsessed with form, flow, and symbolism. Tattooing became his path of expression—a spiritual extension of drawing, but on living canvas. Over time, he developed his style into something fluid and intuitive. Whether it’s a delicate floral wrap or a full leg sleeve in bio-organic texture, each piece feels alive, because it is.

He adapts every design to the natural movement and energy of the body. For some pieces, he draws directly on the skin with a marker before tattooing—allowing for organic symmetry. For others, especially more geometric or sacred compositions, he prepares stencils to ensure precision.

Art That Heals: Jimmy Kalyana (@jimmyartifex) Spreads Soulful Tattoo Art from Pushkar to the World

Art That Heals: Jimmy Kalyana (@jimmyartifex) Spreads Soulful Tattoo Art from Pushkar to the World

Pushkar, India – July 2025 – Tattooing is evolving—and Indian artist Jimmy Kalyana, known online as @jimmyartifex, is leading the movement by turning ink into a tool for healing, storytelling, and spiritual connection. Based in Pushkar but working worldwide, Jimmy has built a reputation for his emotionally charged, intuitively designed tattoos—drawing international clients from Israel, Europe, and beyond.

Over the past few years, Jimmy has become especially known among the Israeli traveler community, who seek out his custom work for its depth, energy, and artistic authenticity. Yet his reach continues to grow, attracting tattoo collectors and soul-seekers from every corner of the globe.

“I started in Pushkar, but my art now travels far beyond borders,” Jimmy says. “From Tel Aviv to Berlin, Goa to Dharamkot—I’ve been trusted to create tattoos that are more than just visuals. They’re personal, permanent energy.”

Freehand Flow Meets Spiritual Precision

Jimmy works with both freehand and stencil techniques, depending on the style and story behind each tattoo. His strength lies in balancing structure with spontaneity—allowing him to create tattoos that move with the body and speak directly to the heart.

His artistic style merges:

  • Fine line work with delicate spiritual symbols
  • Floral and ornamental abstraction
  • Surreal flow elements
  • Sacred geometry and mythological fusion
  • Custom backpieces, sleeves, and intimate micro tattoos

Jimmy draws inspiration from nature, emotion, body movement, and cultural symbolism—often sketching directly on skin to let the design evolve with the client’s energy.

“A tattoo isn’t just art on the body—it’s art with the body. That’s why I never treat it like a template,” he adds.

A Strong Bond with Israeli Clients—and a Global Outlook

What sets Jimmy apart is the deep trust he has built with Israeli travelers and global nomads over the years. Many come to India for self-discovery—and leave with a tattoo that marks a turning point in their personal journey.

Whether they visit from Tel Aviv, Haifa, or the Dead Sea—or meet Jimmy in Pushkar, Goa, or Dharamkot—the bond goes beyond the tattoo. It becomes a cultural and creative exchange.

“Working with Israeli clients has shaped my art. They come with deep stories—loss, love, transformation. I turn those into something they carry forever,” he says.

His reputation now extends to international platforms, with growing demand for guest spots, collaborations, and residencies abroad. Artifex Tattooz is evolving into a global brand rooted in meaning, not mass production.

This acquisition not only reinforces MindMap’s leadership in digital transformation but also signals a new era of Smartsheet-led business automation in India and beyond—driven by vision, technology, and a passion for measurable outcomes.
