Equatorial Guinea President’s Nephew Jailed for Embezzlement

A nephew of Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, Baltasar Ebang Engonga, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for embezzlement, marking a dramatic fall from grace for the once-powerful official. Engonga, nicknamed “Bello” for his good looks, was the former head of the National Financial Investigation Agency. A court ruled that he had diverted public funds for personal use, alongside five other officials who allegedly misappropriated money meant for travel allowances ranging from $9,000 to $220,000. His case drew international attention last year when sex tapes allegedly involving him were leaked online. The scandal erupted while he was in detention on charges of funneling millions into secret offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands. Many of the leaked videos appeared to show him with women connected to the country’s political elite, further fuelling controversy. The videos’ authenticity was never […]

EU Slams Russia After Deadly Missile Strikes on Kyiv

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has condemned Russia’s deadliest attack on Kyiv since July, which killed 17 people, including four children, and damaged the EU’s delegation office in the Ukrainian capital. A five-storey residential block in the Darnytskyi district collapsed after being struck by a missile in the early hours of Thursday. Ukrainian officials said many of the victims were trapped inside their homes, with rescue workers digging through rubble to search for survivors. Three of the children killed were aged two, 14 and 17. Von der Leyen described the bombardment as “another grim reminder” of Russia’s intent to terrorise civilians, noting that two missiles landed just 50 metres from the EU delegation. Images shared by EU officials showed shattered windows and ceilings torn down at the mission’s Kyiv office. The British Council, housed in the same block, […]

Kim Jong Un, Putin Join Xi at Beijing Military Parade

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attending a military parade in central Beijing alongside Russian president Vladimir Putin and China’s leader Xi Jinping is not just a striking image — it is also a diplomatic triumph for Xi. For years, the Chinese leader has been positioning Beijing not only as the world’s second-largest economy but also as a global diplomatic heavyweight. By welcoming both Kim and Putin, Xi is reinforcing China’s influence in international affairs while signalling that he may hold the geopolitical cards in ongoing global negotiations. The parade, set for 3 September, marks 80 years since Japan’s surrender in World War Two, ending its occupation of parts of China. But beyond military display, Xi has turned it into a showcase of his political clout. With Trump considering a regional visit later in October and leaving the door open […]

Ministry Rejects Bias Claims in Ridge Hospital Probe
