Venezuelans await more prisoner releases

Venezuelans are anxiously waiting for the release of more political detainees after the interim government promised to free a large number of prisoners jailed under former president Nicolas Maduro. Rights group Foro Penal says about 800 to 900 people are still behind bars for political reasons, even though only a small fraction have been freed so far.​ The releases began days after US forces seized Maduro in Caracas and flew him to New York to face drug trafficking charges. US President Donald Trump praised the move as a smart gesture and cancelled a planned second wave of military strikes on Venezuela, saying the country had shown a desire to seek peace.​ Interim president Delcy Rodriguez and her brother Jorge Rodriguez, head of the National Assembly, announced that a significant number of Venezuelan and foreign prisoners would be freed. However, they […]

Ousted Iran shah’s son urges protesters to seize and hold city centres

Reza Pahlavi, the US based son of Iran’s ousted shah, has called on Iranians to step up their demonstrations by seizing and holding city centres during protests. In a video message on social media, he said the goal was no longer just to appear on the streets but to prepare to capture and control key urban areas.​ Pahlavi urged protesters to turn out in large numbers over the weekend and to gather from 6 pm carrying national flags and symbols. He framed the latest demonstrations as part of a broader “revolution” against the Islamic Republic and said he was preparing to return to Iran when conditions allow.​ He also appealed to workers in strategic sectors such as transport, oil, gas and energy to begin nationwide strikes. According to him, industrial action combined with mass protests would increase pressure on the […]

Iran’s Khamenei vows no retreat as nationwide protests grow

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Iran will not back down as protests continue across the country over rising prices and economic hardship. The latest unrest has spread to major cities, with demonstrators complaining about high inflation, a weak currency and the rising cost of living.​ Khamenei accused some protesters of acting on behalf of foreign enemies and warned that the state would not tolerate what it calls rioters attacking public property. He said the Islamic Republic would not yield to pressure and described those involved in violence as mercenaries for outsiders.​ Authorities have limited internet access and disrupted communications as the protests have grown, leaving many parts of Iran largely cut off from the outside world. Domestic flights have been cancelled and local news websites have struggled to update, further restricting information from inside the country.​ Officials are […]

Tanzania’s Hassan Wins Landslide Amid Deadly Post-Election Protests

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has won a landslide re-election, securing 97.66 percent of the vote, according to official results released on Saturday. However, the victory has been overshadowed by days of deadly protests and allegations of a violent government crackdown. The Tanzania Electoral Commission announced the result on state television, stating that Hassan dominated every constituency. A swift swearing-in ceremony was scheduled for later on Saturday, the broadcaster added. The main opposition party, Chadema, was barred from participating in the election after its leader was charged with treason. The party accused security forces of killing hundreds of protesters since demonstrations erupted on election day, Wednesday, across major cities including Dar es Salaam and Arusha. Chadema’s spokesman told AFP that around 700 people had been killed, citing figures collected from hospitals and clinics. A security source and a Western diplomat […]

Ivorians Vote Amid Tensions Over President Ouattara’s Fourth-Term Bid

Ivorians will head to the polls on Saturday, October 25, for a tense presidential election marked by anger and controversy over incumbent President Alassane Ouattara’s decision to seek a fourth consecutive term. Under the Ivorian constitution, a president is limited to two terms. However, Ouattara insists that the 2016 constitutional revision “reset” his term count, allowing him to run again. The move has ignited widespread criticism and rekindled fears of political instability in the West African nation. Ivory Coast, the world’s top cocoa and cashew nut producer, stands as a key economic hub in the region and West Africa’s second-largest economy. The country of 32 million, located between Ghana and Liberia, is rich in rainforests and coastal beauty. Nearly a quarter of the population resides in the commercial capital, Abidjan, while the official administrative capital is Yamoussoukro. French remains the […]

Angry youths attack politicians at Jigawa road project event

Tension erupted in Tarabu village, Kirikasamma Local Government Area of Jigawa State, on Wednesday when angry youths attacked top politicians during the flag-off of a road construction project by Governor Umar Namadi Danmodi. The event, held to launch a 23.4-kilometre road from Tarabu to Gafta, turned violent shortly after the ceremony. The youths reportedly threw stones at government vehicles, including those in the governor’s convoy, damaging several cars belonging to officials and police officers. Those who narrowly escaped harm included the Chairman of Kirikasamma Local Government Council, Alhaji Muhammad Maji, and Hon. Abubakar Fulata, who represents the Guri/Kirikasamma/Birniwa Federal Constituency. According to witnesses, the attack was triggered by anger toward Hon. Fulata, whom residents accused of neglecting his constituency and failing to initiate projects for his people. The youths compared his performance unfavourably to that of lawmakers from neighbouring areas. […]

US pushes plan to disarm Hamas and rebuild Gaza

An Ivory Coast court has sentenced 32 people to three years in prison for taking part in banned protests held earlier this month, just days before the country’s presidential election. The verdict was delivered on Tuesday, four days before the vote, as tensions rise between the government and opposition supporters. The protests were organized after opposition leaders Laurent Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam were barred from running against President Alassane Ouattara, who is seeking a fourth term at age 83. The defendants were convicted of “disturbing public order” and “assembling on public roadways.” Last week, about 30 other protesters received similar sentences. Authorities have banned all demonstrations, citing threats to public safety. Public prosecutor Oumar Braman Kone said some protests amounted to “acts of terrorism” and argued that “the freedom to demonstrate cannot be confused with disorder.” Defence lawyers argued there […]

Millions Join ‘No Kings’ Anti-Trump Protests Across US Cities

Millions of Americans participated in "No Kings" protests across major US cities, voicing strong opposition to President Donald Trump's policies and his expansion of presidential power. The large but peaceful demonstrations took place in New York, Washington DC, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Protesters held signs with slogans like "Democracy not Monarchy," expressing concern that the administration's actions are a threat to American democracy. Since returning to office, President Trump has used executive orders to dismantle parts of the federal government and deploy National Guard troops to cities against the wishes of state governors. Protesters say these moves are unconstitutional. In a pre-taped interview, Trump responded to the rallies, stating, "I'm not a king." Prominent Democratic politicians, including Senator Bernie Sanders, joined the protests. Sanders told a crowd in Washington DC, "We're not here because we hate America, we're here because […]

Madagascar President Dissolves Parliament Amid Political Crisis

Madagascar’s embattled President Andry Rajoelina has issued a decree dissolving the National Assembly, in a last-ditch attempt to stave off a political collapse as pressure mounts for his resignation. The president, who has reportedly fled the country, announced the decree on social media on Tuesday — just hours before lawmakers were expected to hold an impeachment vote against him. The political climate remains tense, with sections of the military and police now backing mass protests demanding that Rajoelina step down. According to a statement released by the presidency on Facebook, the decree “shall enter into force immediately upon its publication by radio and/or television broadcast.” Rajoelina defended his action in a separate online post, calling it a move to “restore order within our nation and strengthen democracy.” However, opposition leader Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko, who was leading the impeachment effort, dismissed the […]

Madagascar President Warns of Attempted Power Seizure

Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina has warned that an “attempt to seize power illegally and by force” is underway, following reports that a group of soldiers joined anti-government protests in the capital, Antananarivo. The warning came on Sunday, a day after soldiers stationed on the outskirts of the city called on security forces to “join forces” and “refuse orders to shoot” at protesters, denouncing the violent crackdown on ongoing demonstrations. The protests, led mostly by young people, have continued for over two weeks, sparked by frustration over power and water shortages across the country. On Saturday, soldiers clashed with gendarmes outside their barracks before riding into Antananarivo on army vehicles to join thousands of demonstrators gathered at the symbolic Place du 13 Mai in front of the city hall. The crowd reportedly cheered their arrival and chanted calls for President Rajoelina […]
