Trump warns Iran over protest deaths as unrest spreads

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that the United States is “locked and loaded” and ready to intervene if Iranian security forces violently kill protesters during the latest wave of anti government demonstrations.​In a statement and social media posts, he said Washington would “come to the rescue” of peaceful protesters if Iran follows what he called its “custom” of shooting people to crush dissent.​ The warning comes as nationwide protests in Iran entered their fifth day, with at least several people reported killed and dozens injured in clashes with security forces over deepening economic hardship and political grievances.​Demonstrations, initially sparked by soaring inflation, the collapse of the rial and rising living costs, have spread to new cities including the religious centre of Qom, where crowds have openly called for an end to the ruling theocracy.​ Trump’s comments raise the pressure […]

Myanmar Begins Controversial Three-Phase Election

The first stage of Myanmar’s three-part election has concluded, amid ongoing criticism that the vote is a “sham.” Major political parties have been banned, opposition leaders jailed, and civil war has left much of the country unstable, with potentially half the population unable to participate. The military government, which seized power nearly five years ago, is holding elections in phases, a move observers say aims to legitimize its rule with support from China. New laws have criminalized dissent related to the polls, with penalties including the death sentence. More than 200 people have been charged for opposing the elections. Reports of explosions and airstrikes emerged in multiple regions during the first round. In Mandalay, a rocket hit an uninhabited home, injuring three people. In Myawaddy township near the Thai border, blasts damaged over ten houses, killing a child and sending […]

Sowore condemns US airstrikes on Nigerian soil

Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has strongly criticised the recent United States military strikes on Nigerian soil. He described the attacks as a violation of Nigeria’s sovereignty and a dangerous step for the country.​ Sowore argued that no foreign country has the right to launch military operations inside Nigeria under any guise. He said allowing such actions sends a signal that Nigeria cannot protect itself and is willing to hand over its security to external powers.​ He also faulted the Nigerian government for what he called weakness and complicity. According to him, the authorities should have openly rejected the US airstrikes instead of agreeing to or tolerating them.​ Sowore warned that foreign military involvement rarely solves internal security problems. He pointed to past US interventions in countries like Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan, saying they often left […]

Saudi Arabia records highest executions in decades

Saudi Arabia has carried out a record number of executions for the second consecutive year, prompting renewed condemnation from international human rights organisations. According to figures compiled by the UK-based advocacy group Reprieve, at least 347 people have been executed in the kingdom so far this year, exceeding the previous annual high of 345 recorded in 2024. The organisation says this makes 2025 the deadliest year since it began systematically tracking executions in the country. The most recent executions involved two Pakistani nationals who had been convicted on drug-related charges. Reprieve reports that similar cases account for the majority of deaths this year, with roughly two-thirds of those executed sentenced for non-violent drug offences. Human rights groups note that international law strongly discourages the use of capital punishment for crimes that do not involve intentional killing. The United Nations has […]

Trump, Race, and the Fear Facing Families

A renewed wave of fear is spreading across communities of color in the United States as critics accuse Donald Trump and his allies of pushing policies that target the most vulnerable. What once sounded like extreme rhetoric is now being described as a lived reality for many families. Central to the concern are reports that children from communities of color are being removed from homes where they had already been placed and then absorbed into systems with little public visibility. Families and advocates say children are taken without clear explanations, leaving relatives struggling to find answers about their whereabouts. Human rights groups warn that these actions mirror past practices widely condemned for racial bias and lack of accountability. They argue that the pattern suggests enforcement policies are not applied equally, creating fear in some communities while others remain untouched. Supporters […]

Tinted glass permit: IGP warns police against extortion, rights abuse

The Nigeria Police Force has restated plans to resume full enforcement of the tinted glass permit policy from 2 January 2026, citing rising criminal activities involving vehicles with unlawfully tinted windows. However, Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has cautioned personnel that the operation must not become an avenue for intimidation, extortion or other misconduct.​ In an internal communication circulated on 15 December 2025, the police high command directed all formations to prepare for nationwide checks on vehicles with tinted glass. The memo emphasised that officers must act within the law, treat motorists with respect and avoid any behaviour that could undermine public trust.​ The police clarified that the earlier suspension of tinted glass permit enforcement was an administrative decision and not the result of any court order. The Force said there is currently no judicial ruling stopping it from implementing […]

US Nigeria Near Security Deal After Christian Genocide Row

The Federal Government and a visiting United States congressional delegation led by Congressman Riley Moore are close to finalising a new strategic framework to address insecurity across Nigeria. The talks follow months of tension over claims by some US lawmakers and lobby groups that Christians in Nigeria are facing genocide, an allegation Abuja strongly rejects.​ Moore, who has been one of the most vocal critics of Nigeria’s handling of attacks on Christian communities, said the latest meetings in Abuja with National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and other officials were “productive and positive”. He disclosed that both sides discussed concrete actions which, if fully carried out, could significantly enhance security nationwide.​ According to Moore, the emerging framework focuses on strengthening intelligence sharing, improving early warning systems, supporting communities vulnerable to terrorism and farmer herder violence, and tightening accountability for security abuses.

Rising Insecurity Pushes Nigeria Closer To State Police Model

Debate over state police has entered a new phase in Nigeria as worsening insecurity and growing public frustration force political leaders to consider concrete changes to the country’s policing system. Many analysts now believe the State Police Constitution Alteration Bill has a strong chance of becoming law, given open backing from President Bola Tinubu and several state governors.​ Supporters of state police argue that a single, centralised Nigeria Police Force can no longer adequately respond to diverse security challenges across a vast and complex country. They say decentralised forces will bring law enforcement closer to communities, improve response times and allow better understanding of local terrain, culture and crime patterns.​ Security experts quoted in recent discussions outline a likely structure in which each state would establish its own police service under a constitutional framework. These forces are expected to operate […]

DSS Frees Three Men Wrongly Held Over Banditry Allegations

The Department of State Services has released three men earlier arrested on suspicion of involvement in banditry and kidnapping after a fresh review showed they were wrongly detained. The men were picked up in June 2025 as part of wider security operations targeting banditry networks in the country.​ A special review panel set up by the DSS examined their case and concluded that investigations did not establish any link between the suspects and the alleged crimes. Following this finding, the Director General of the DSS, Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, ordered their immediate release.​ The three men, identified as Umar Ibrahim, Alhaji Bello Rabiu and Jaja Sarki Bamo, were also granted financial compensation approved by the DSS leadership. The payment is intended to acknowledge the error in their arrest and to support their reintegration after months in custody.​ Security sources indicated that […]

82 Nigerian women on death row, rights group warns

Human rights group Hope Behind Bars Africa has revealed that 82 Nigerian women are currently on death row in correctional centres across the country, calling it one of the most overlooked gender based injustices in the criminal justice system. Executive Director Funke Adeoye disclosed the figure in Abuja at the presentation of a report titled “Beyond Her Sentence A Technical Analysis of Gender and Capital Punishment in Nigeria.”​ The study, supported by the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty and the French Development Agency, examines how women end up on death row and the systemic inequalities they face. Adeoye, a human rights lawyer, urged a comprehensive review of Nigeria’s criminal justice system to introduce gender sensitive sentencing and improve transparency in trials.​ According to the report, nearly half of the women on death row are aged between 18 and 35.
