Gazans fear new displacement after Israeli strikes

Residents of southern Gaza say they fear being pushed from their homes again after new Israeli strikes hit neighbourhoods near a demarcation known as the Yellow Line. The line, east of Khan Yunis, was created under a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and marks an area where Israeli troops still control movement through checkpoints.​ Tens of thousands of Gazans still live in tents or damaged houses in communities close to the Yellow Line more than two years into the war. Many now worry that continued bombardment is an attempt to force them to move westward into already overcrowded camps where food, water and basic supplies are scarce.​ “We do not sleep at night because of fear. The bombardments in the east are relentless,” said Umm Ahmed, a 40 year old mother from Bani Suheila whose home was destroyed earlier […]

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 […]

Sudan Conflict: US Calls for End to Weapons Supply to RSF Over Atrocities

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has demanded urgent international action to cut off weapons supplies to Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), following reports of systematic atrocities, including murder, rape, and mass killings in el-Fasher, Darfur. Speaking at the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting, Rubio condemned RSF’s actions as genocidal, targeting non-Arab populations and committing widespread sexual violence against women and children. Sudan’s regular army accuses the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of arming the RSF via African intermediaries—a charge the UAE denies. The RSF, which now controls all major cities in Darfur after an 18-month siege of el-Fasher, relies on foreign-supplied weapons, with documented arms traced to Serbia, Russia, China, Turkey, Yemen, and the UAE. Satellite and field evidence show massacres and atrocities, and analysts warn that over 150,000 have died since the 2023 civil war began, with about 12 […]

The Ambassador of Palestine to Nigeria, Muhannad Hammouri, has declared that there is no alternative to the United States–brokered peace deal between Israel and Hamas, describing the initiative as the only viable path to end the two-year conflict in Gaza. Speaking in an interview with The PUNCH, Hammouri said the peace agreement—initiated by US President Donald Trump—offers the best chance to stop the bloodshed and restore stability in the region. “The peace deal announced by President Trump between Israel and Hamas marked a significant development in the two-year-old conflict,” Hammouri said. “It includes a prisoner-hostage swap and a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.” The deal, known as the Trump Initiative, outlines a 20-point framework featuring a complete ceasefire, the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, and the phased withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.

Residents of Kirawa community in Borno State are pleading for the deployment of soldiers after a series of devastating Boko Haram attacks destroyed homes, businesses, and left several people dead.
