Qatar rejects Iran’s missile strike explanation

Qatar has firmly rejected Iran’s explanation for recent missile strikes on its territory, insisting that the attacks hit civilian areas and key infrastructure, not just American interests as Tehran claims. The Qatari position was delivered during a phone call between Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. According to Qatar, Iran maintained that the missiles were aimed at United States assets in the region and were not intended to target the State of Qatar. Sheikh Mohammed rejected this account, stressing that evidence on the ground shows the strikes affected civilian and residential areas, including locations near Hamad International Airport and other sensitive sites. He described the attacks as a blatant infringement of Qatar’s sovereignty and a serious threat to the safety of its people and strategic […]

Trump says US will take Greenland one way or the other

US President Donald Trump says the United States will take control of Greenland “one way or the other,” warning that Russia or China could move in if Washington does not act. He describes the mineral rich Arctic territory, which is part of Denmark, as vital for US security because of growing Russian and Chinese activity in the region.​ Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump says he prefers to reach a deal with Greenland’s self governing authorities but is ready to consider tougher options if negotiations fail. He argues that countries should “own” key territory rather than rely on leases, and says the United States must be ready to defend Greenland as its own.​ Trump has repeatedly suggested that if the US does not act, Russia or China will “take over” Greenland, a prospect he calls unacceptable. He also […]

Denmark’s Greenland dilemma: Defending a territory moving towards independence

Denmark is under pressure to defend Greenland from growing United States interest, even as the Arctic territory moves steadily towards full independence. The issue will be high on the agenda when US Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets Danish and Greenlandic leaders next week.​ Greenland has enjoyed greater autonomy since 1979 and a 2009 agreement recognises the right of its people to choose independence. All major parties on the island support eventual statehood, and the largest opposition party now wants to bypass Copenhagen and open direct talks with Washington.​ Analysts say President Donald Trump’s threat to take control of Greenland, by purchase or force, has triggered strong solidarity for Denmark in Europe. But it has also exposed a paradox, as Denmark spends diplomatic capital to protect a territory whose long term goal is to one day walk away.​ Greenland’s position […]

Jimoh Ibrahim: modern sovereignty rests on cooperation, not isolation

Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, who represents Ondo South and is a scholar of modern war studies, says no country today enjoys absolute sovereignty and that contemporary security threats demand collaboration and multilateral engagement. In a statement issued in Igbotako, Ondo State, he defended President Bola Tinubu’s reliance on international partnerships to tackle Nigeria’s insecurity as consistent with global democratic practice.​ Ibrahim cited the United States’ response to the September 11, 2001 attacks to argue that even the world’s most powerful states depend on allies. He recalled that Operation Enduring Freedom involved extensive support from countries such as the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia and New Zealand through troops, aircraft, naval assets and intelligence sharing.​ He said transnational threats like terrorism, cybercrime and pandemics are borderless and cannot be contained by one nation acting alone. If absolute sovereignty were truly […]

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 […]
