US Says Rwanda Breaching Congo Peace Deal With Support For M23 Rebels

The United States has accused Rwanda of breaching a newly agreed peace deal aimed at ending hostilities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo by continuing to support the M23 rebel movement. The accusation comes only days after Washington announced it had helped broker an accord between Kinshasa and Kigali to reduce tensions.​ US and UN officials say M23 has launched fresh attacks in parts of eastern Congo with backing from Rwandan forces. Reports indicate that Rwandan troops, weapons and logistical support have enabled the rebels to gain ground in mineral rich areas of South Kivu and neighbouring provinces.​ International and regional sources cited in media reports say more than 400 people have been killed since the latest escalation began, including civilians and combatants on both sides. An estimated 200,000 people have been newly displaced by the violence, adding to millions […]

Cambodia Says Thailand Still Bombing Despite Trump Ceasefire Claim

Cambodia’s Ministry of Defence says Thailand is still carrying out air strikes inside its territory, contradicting a ceasefire announcement made by US President Donald Trump. The statement comes amid an ongoing flare up in a long running border dispute between the two neighbours.​ According to the ministry, Thai forces deployed two F 16 fighter jets on Saturday to drop seven bombs on several locations in Cambodian territory. Officials said the strikes hit areas including hotels and bridges in the Thmor Da region of Pursat province, which borders Thailand.​ Local outlet Khmer Times, citing Cambodia’s Ministry of Information, reported that two hotels and casino structures suffered heavy damage in the attacks. Cambodian authorities said the bombings prove that Thai forces “have not yet ceased their bombing and are still conducting attacks”.​ These claims emerged only hours after President Trump said Thailand […]

US seizes Nigerian owned supertanker over suspected crude theft

The United States Coast Guard, working with the US Navy, has intercepted and seized a Nigerian owned supertanker named Skipper over allegations of crude oil theft and other transnational crimes. The 20 year old Very Large Crude Carrier, which has long operated in West African and South American waters, was taken under US law enforcement authority after a multi agency investigation raised red flags about its movements and cargo records.​ US security officials said intelligence reports linked the Skipper to suspected crude theft, piracy and possible drug trafficking across several jurisdictions. Beyond concerns over stolen oil, investigators are probing whether the vessel was moving a large consignment of hard drugs and funnelling proceeds through illicit financial networks.​ The tanker is said to be owned and managed in practice by Lagos based Thomarose Global Ventures Ltd, although its registered owner is […]

US seizes sanctioned oil tanker off Venezuela, sparking piracy row

The United States has seized a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela in a move that sharply escalates tensions with President Nicolás Maduro’s government and jolts global oil markets. President Donald Trump confirmed the operation on December 10, describing the vessel as a “very large” tanker and hinting that “other things” were also happening in the area.​ US officials say the supertanker was carrying sanctioned crude linked to Venezuela and Iran as part of an illicit shipping network that allegedly supports foreign terrorist organisations. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on X that a US seizure warrant was executed by the FBI, Homeland Security, the Coast Guard and supporting military units.​ Video released by US authorities shows helicopters approaching the vessel and armed personnel in camouflage fast roping onto its deck to take control. The ship, previously sanctioned by […]

Rwanda accuses DR Congo, Burundi of breaking new peace deal

Rwanda has accused the Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi of deliberately violating a ceasefire in eastern DR Congo just days after the three countries signed a US brokered peace agreement. Kigali’s foreign ministry said recent attacks in South Kivu “cannot be placed on Rwanda” and instead blamed the Congolese and Burundian armies for renewed violence near its border.​ In a statement, Rwanda alleged that DR Congo’s army FARDC and Burundi’s army FDNB have been systematically bombing civilian villages close to the Rwandan border using fighter jets and armed drones. It said M23 and allied AFC rebels had been “forced to counter” these operations, calling them deliberate violations of the Washington Accords signed on December 4.​ The renewed clashes come after Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi accused Rwanda earlier in the week of violating the same peace deal by shelling areas […]

Trump moves to end US birthright citizenship, says it was for slaves’ children

US President Donald Trump has again defended his bid to end birthright citizenship, claiming the constitutional guarantee was meant for the children of enslaved people, not for wealthy immigrants or temporary visitors. He argued that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, was designed for “the babies of slaves” and has since been “abused” by rich foreigners seeking US passports for their children.​ Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office in January 2025, directing federal agencies to stop automatically recognising as citizens most children born in the US to non citizens. Under the order, babies born 30 days after his inauguration would no longer receive birthright citizenship if neither parent is a US citizen or permanent resident.​ Multiple federal courts quickly blocked the order, prompting a legal fight that has […]

Zelensky meets Pope, refines response to new US peace plan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has met Pope Leo XIV in Italy as he prepares an updated response to a revised United States plan to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The meeting took place at the Pope’s country residence in Castel Gandolfo near Rome, during a wider European tour focused on talks with allies about war and peace efforts.​ Zelensky said Washington had cut its original 28-point proposal to 20 points after intensive talks with Ukrainian officials over the weekend. He explained that Ukrainian and European negotiators will now work through those 20 points and that Kyiv will send its formal, revised position to the United States soon.​ According to Zelensky, the main obstacles in the US plan involve possible territorial concessions and the level of long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. He stressed that Ukraine has no legal or moral right […]
