Ukraine-Russia War: Ukraine Calls for Trump-Zelensky Meeting in US This Week

Ukraine’s national security chief says Kyiv hopes to arrange a US visit for President Volodymyr Zelensky this month to complete a peace agreement with President Donald Trump. A US official told the BBC that Ukraine has “agreed to a peace deal”—though some details still need sorting out. The White House has not confirmed talks, but US and Russian representatives are set to meet in Abu Dhabi to discuss the plan. After fierce criticism from Europe, counter-proposals drafted by the UK, France, and Germany modified the initial US plan, removing recognition of Russian-held territories, allowing Ukraine a larger army, and keeping the door open to NATO membership. Zelensky welcomed these changes, calling the plan “doable,” and noting: “Many correct elements have been incorporated.” Despite ongoing negotiations, the war rages on. At least six people were killed overnight in Russian strikes on […]

Why FG Hasn’t Prosecuted Terrorism Financiers – Minister

The Federal Government has not prosecuted suspected terrorism financiers because such cases require extensive, delicate investigations that cannot be rushed, according to Minister of Information Mohammed Idris. Speaking on Channels TV, Idris said the process is not as simple as having a list and moving suspects to court; solid evidence must first be gathered. Public pressure remains high, with critics linking delays to government complicity and growing insecurity. While some suspects were identified under past administrations, no high-profile cases have materialized in court, fueling distrust. Idris insisted progress is being made—highlighting that since May 2023, over 13,500 criminals have been neutralized, and 17,000 apprehended—with many already being tried or sentenced for security-related offenses. He called for patience and partnership with both domestic and foreign allies, emphasizing the complexity and diversity of Nigeria’s security crisis and ongoing diplomatic efforts to clarify […]

Trump: Diplomatic Engagements Yielding Results — FG

The Federal Government of Nigeria says ongoing diplomatic dialogue with the US under President Trump is producing “positive results,” opening channels for mutual understanding and practical cooperation on security, economic, and religious tensions. Information Minister Mohammed Idris highlights better US appreciation of Nigeria's complex social challenges and urges continued partnership to combat terrorism. US Congressman Bill Huizenga criticizes Nigeria’s handling of Christian attacks, advocating economic sanctions over military intervention and calling out failures to protect all citizens. US-Nigeria ties face scrutiny after Trump’s viral remarks threatening intervention. Nigerian leaders argue for economic pressure rather than armed response. Vatican Envoy Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu and Northern CAN urge dialogue, not anger, to resolve religious violence, while Afenifere warns against full-scale US military campaigns—advocates intelligence sharing and limited operations via drones instead. Senator Orji Kalu affirms both Christians and Muslims are victims of […]

Syria’s Jihadist-Turned-President Caps Historic Transformation with White House Visit

Less than a year after a lightning rise to power, Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa visits the White House, marking a dramatic shift from his past as a jihadist fighter to international statesman. The visit, the first by a Syrian head of state, comes as al-Sharaa aims to reshape Syria’s foreign relations and end diplomatic isolation imposed during the Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, formerly an Islamist insurgent who battled US forces in Iraq, later toppled the decades-long regime of Bashar al-Assad through a surprise offensive. He now advocates for lifting US sanctions and seeks American support to push Israel to halt attacks and withdraw from southern Syria. Despite some sanctions lifted after a Saudi-brokered Trump-Al-Sharaa meeting in May, the toughest US measures require congressional sign-off. The young leader is balancing ties between Moscow and Western states, conscious of Russia’s military influence and […]

Tinubu rallies global allies after Trump threatens military action over Nigeria killings

President Bola Tinubu has said his government is engaging with international partners to address concerns raised by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who threatened military action against terror groups in Nigeria over alleged mass killings of Christians. Speaking at the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja on Thursday, Tinubu assured Nigerians that his administration would overcome terrorism and maintain national stability. He urged citizens not to succumb to fear, stressing that reforms under his Renewed Hope Agenda were positioning Nigeria for growth and international confidence. “The task ahead is immense, but we are engaging the world diplomatically. We will defeat terrorism and continue to secure our nation,” Tinubu said. The President’s remarks came days after Trump labelled Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern,” alleging persecution of Christians. He also instructed U.S. officials to “prepare for possible action” in response. Government […]

Peru declares Mexican president persona non grata over asylum row

Peru’s Congress voted on Thursday to declare Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata after her government granted asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavez, who is on trial for allegedly aiding a 2022 coup attempt. The resolution, passed by a 63–33 vote, deepens a growing diplomatic rift between the two countries. Tensions escalated on Monday when Mexico approved asylum for Chavez, prompting Peru to sever formal diplomatic ties. Chavez served as prime minister in December 2022 under then-president Pedro Castillo, who was ousted and arrested after attempting to dissolve Congress during a political standoff. Peru’s acting Congress president, Fernando Rospigliosi, accused Sheinbaum of “interfering” in the country’s internal affairs, saying Mexico’s decision to shelter Chavez violated diplomatic norms.“It has been clearly established that President Sheinbaum interfered not only through statements but also through direct action by granting asylum,” […]

Baba-Ahmed urges Tinubu to address Nigerians on Trump’s threat

Former Presidential Adviser, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has urged President Bola Tinubu to personally address Nigerians following the recent military threat issued by United States President Donald Trump. In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Thursday, Baba-Ahmed expressed worry over the President’s continued silence after Trump accused Nigeria of allowing the killing of Christians and warned of a possible U.S. military response. He said the President’s failure to speak directly to Nigerians could be perceived as a sign of weakness at a time when decisive leadership and reassurance are needed. “If President Tinubu truly has capable advisers and understands the weight of his office, he should have spoken to Nigerians by now,” Baba-Ahmed said. “This is not the time for ministers or aides to issue statements. The President himself should reassure the country, clarify Nigeria’s position, and outline the steps […]

China Rejects US Threat Against Nigeria Calls for Respect

China has rejected the recent threat by former US President Donald Trump to take military action against Nigeria over alleged persecution of Christians. The Chinese government said it firmly opposes any external interference in Nigeria’s internal affairs. In a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, spokesperson Mao Ning said China supports Nigeria’s right to choose its own development path in line with its national realities. He warned against using religion and human rights as excuses for interference. “As a comprehensive strategic partner of Nigeria, China firmly supports the Nigerian government in leading its people on a development path that fits its realities. We oppose any country’s interference in others’ internal affairs under the pretext of religion or human rights,” Mao stated. Trump had recently accused Nigeria of tolerating the killing of Christians and threatened to cut aid or launch military […]

NSA, Service Chiefs Meet Over Planned U.S. Military Action Against Nigeria

The National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, on Monday held a high-level meeting with service chiefs and heads of security and intelligence agencies in Abuja following U.S. President Donald Trump’s declaration of possible military action against Nigeria over alleged killings of Christians. According to sources, the emergency meeting — which took place at the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) — was convened to coordinate a national security response and assess the implications of the U.S. president’s statement. The outcome of the deliberation, sources said, would be communicated through official channels from the NSA’s office. Trump, speaking late Sunday aboard Air Force One, warned that ground operations and air strikes could form part of a potential U.S. attack on Nigeria if the country failed to curb “mass killings of Christians.” “They’re killing the Christians and killing them in very large […]

Xi Jinping urges global cooperation and free trade at APEC summit as Trump departs early

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged world leaders to strengthen economic globalisation and uphold multilateralism at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, South Korea — an event notably missed by US President Donald Trump. Xi took the spotlight during the two-day summit, which began on Friday, meeting with several regional leaders while Trump left South Korea a day earlier after signing deals aimed at cooling tensions in the ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing. “The more turbulent the times, the more we must work together,” Xi said at the opening session. “The world is undergoing a period of rapid change, with the international situation becoming increasingly complex and volatile.” Positioning China as a champion of free trade, Xi warned against protectionist measures and economic decoupling — a veiled criticism of Trump’s “America First” policy and tariff-driven trade […]
