Taiwan on high alert as China ends large scale drills

Taiwan has kept its military and coast guard on high alert even as Chinese naval and coast guard ships began pulling back after massive drills around the island. China’s “Justice Mission 2025” exercises saw dozens of rockets fired and large numbers of warships and aircraft deployed near Taiwan, prompting concern from Western allies.​ Taiwan’s Ocean Affairs Council said the maritime situation had started to calm, with Chinese vessels gradually leaving the area. All 11 Chinese coast guard ships that had been near Taiwan’s waters were reported to have moved away, though Taipei’s emergency response centres remain active.​ In the previous 24 hours, Taiwan’s defence ministry tracked 77 Chinese military aircraft and 25 navy and coast guard vessels operating around the island. It said 35 of those aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait median line, an unofficial boundary that China has increasingly […]

Burkina Faso frees detained Nigerian aircraft and 11 troops

The Federal Government has confirmed the release of the Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft and 11 soldiers who were detained in Burkina Faso after a forced landing.​ The confirmation came on Wednesday night from the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, who said the aircraft and personnel had been released. He simply stated that they had been freed following diplomatic efforts.​ Their release followed a meeting in Ouagadougou between Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and Burkina Faso’s junta leader, Ibrahim Traoré. Tuggar, who led a Nigerian delegation, explained that the visit was at the request of President Bola Tinubu to resolve the incident and strengthen relations between both countries.​ The incident occurred nearly two weeks earlier when a Nigerian Air Force C-130 transport aircraft, carrying 11 soldiers, made a forced or precautionary landing in Bobo […]

 Democracy survives as FG explains failed Benin coup

The Federal Government has described how democracy in Benin Republic survived an attempted coup, explaining that swift regional and international actions helped foil the plot. Officials said the coup attempt was quickly contained, allowing President Patrice Talon’s government to remain in control.​ According to the government’s account, loyal security forces moved fast to block the mutineers from seizing key state institutions. Diplomatic pressure from neighbouring countries and regional bodies also discouraged wider support for the takeover.​ The Federal Government stressed that the failure of the coup is a victory for constitutional rule in West Africa. It warned that repeated attempts to topple elected governments threaten regional stability and economic development.​ Authorities called on citizens and political actors across the region to reject military interventions in politics. They also urged stronger cooperation among West African states to prevent future unconstitutional changes […]

ECOWAS leaders push joint action against threats to democracy, rule of law

West African leaders have called for stronger collective action by all ECOWAS member states to tackle growing threats to democracy and the rule of law in the region.​ Meeting in Abuja, the heads of state and government expressed concern over recent coups, attempted coups and political unrest in countries such as Sierra Leone and Guinea Bissau, warning that unconstitutional changes of government and attacks on institutions risk reversing democratic gains.​ They urged full implementation and possible strengthening of the ECOWAS Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance, including tougher measures against military takeovers, manipulation of constitutions and other actions that undermine credible elections and term limits.​ The leaders also stressed the need for coordinated responses to insecurity, terrorism and violent extremism, arguing that weak governance and erosion of public trust in democratic processes often fuel instability and conflict.​ Civil society groups […]

Southwest in Joint Moves to Prevent Terrorists’ Incursion into Region

In a landmark move, Southwest governors have launched a joint strategy to prevent terrorist incursion, agreeing to establish a regional security fund, a digital intelligence-sharing platform, and reinforce forest surveillance. State leaders also called for stricter regulation of inter-state migration and action against illegal mining, while reiterating support for state police. At a crucial summit in Ibadan led by Governor Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Makinde (Oyo), Abiodun (Ogun), Aiyedatiwa (Ondo), Oyebanji (Ekiti), and Adeleke’s deputy (Osun), the governors resolved to set up a South West Security Fund (SWSF) under the DAWN Commission, and a live digital security communication channel linking all six states for coordinated rapid response. Forest surveillance and documentation of foreigners and unauthorized settlements are to be intensified, while over 70 illegal migrants were reportedly arrested in Ogun alone.

Venezuela Mobilizes Military Amid US Caribbean Build-Up

Venezuela announced a large-scale mobilization of military personnel, weapons, and equipment in response to the increasing presence of US warships and troops in the Caribbean. Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López said the exercises, running through Wednesday, involve land, air, naval, and reserve forces. He described the deployment as a countermeasure to what Caracas calls the “imperialist threat” posed by the United States. The exercises include the Bolivarian Militia, a reserve force of civilians established by the late President Hugo Chávez and named after revolutionary leader Simón Bolívar. Padrino López attributed the order directly to President Nicolas Maduro and said the goal is to “optimize command, control, and communications” while ensuring national defense. Tensions between the US and Venezuela have escalated with the arrival of the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford in the US Southern Command area, accompanied by nine […]

Hezbollah rejects any Lebanon-Israel negotiations, vows to defend itself

Hezbollah has rejected the possibility of political negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, declaring on Thursday that any such dialogue would “not serve the national interest.” The statement, released amid mounting U.S. and Egyptian pressure on Beirut to open talks with Tel Aviv, reaffirmed the Iran-backed group’s stance as tensions rise along the Israel-Lebanon border. A source close to Hezbollah’s political leadership told AFP that the declaration followed renewed diplomatic efforts to encourage direct negotiations between the two countries, which remain technically at war. In an open letter to the Lebanese people and government, Hezbollah said, “We reject any political negotiations with the Zionist enemy and reaffirm our legitimate right to defend ourselves against an enemy that imposes war on our country and does not cease its attacks.” While Lebanon’s military has largely stayed out of hostilities, Hezbollah — the only […]

India Hosts Taliban Delegation in Historic Diplomatic Reset

More than four years after the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, which forced India to shut down its embassy in Kabul and evacuate diplomats amid the collapse of the Western-backed Afghan government, New Delhi has now extended a red-carpet welcome to the group’s leadership. A delegation led by Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi has arrived in the Indian capital for a weeklong official visit, marking the first-ever visit by a Taliban leader to India. Muttaqi, who remains on a United Nations sanctions list, received a temporary travel exemption from the UN to attend the meetings. The visit represents a striking shift in India’s foreign policy. Analysts describe it as a strategic move of pragmatism — aimed at countering Pakistani influence in Afghanistan, as ties between Kabul and Islamabad have recently soured over cross-border tensions. Indian officials, while […]

Central African Republic sends recruits to Uganda for military training

The Central African Republic is taking new steps to rebuild its armed forces after years of instability, collapse, and repeated crises. On Thursday, a group of recruits left Bangui’s Mpoko Airport for Kampala, Uganda, where they will undergo intensive military training. The recruits, drawn from all seven regions of the country, will spend six months in Uganda receiving training in intelligence gathering and counter-rebellion operations.
