President Bola Tinubu has approved the posting of four ambassador‑designates out of the 68 nominees confirmed by the Senate in December 2025. According to presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the postings target some of Nigeria’s most strategic diplomatic partners.​ Tinubu confirmed Ambassador Ayodele Oke as ambassador‑designate to France and Colonel Lateef Are as ambassador‑designate to the United States of America.

Turkey opposes military operations against Iran

Turkey says it is against any military operation against Iran, warning that foreign intervention would only deepen crises in the country and across the Middle East. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told journalists in Istanbul that Iran’s internal problems must be resolved by Iranians themselves, not imposed from outside.​ Fidan said Ankara does not want instability in neighbouring Iran, even though it recognises there are serious issues within Iranian society and government. He cautioned that attempts by the United States or Israel to use force would likely worsen tensions and trigger wider regional conflict.​​ The minister noted that the current protests in Iran stem from legitimate grievances, but that they are also being exploited by Iran’s external enemies. He said Turkey’s priority is to encourage dialogue and a negotiated understanding between Washington and Tehran, which he described as crucial for regional […]

Syrians in Turkey weigh hopes and fears of return

For many Syrians who grew up in exile, the idea of returning home carries a powerful emotional pull, even when their memories of the country are faint or fragmented. Ahmed, 18, is one of them. Standing outside a mosque in Gaziantep, near Turkey’s border with Syria, he speaks with determination about his future. His family fled Syria when he was five, but he plans to return within the next two years. Before that, he wants to save some money, aware that salaries in Syria remain low. Despite the uncertainty, he believes the country’s prospects will improve as reconstruction advances. If Ahmed follows through, he will join more than half a million Syrians who have left Turkey since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. Many of them had lived in Turkey for over a decade, after fleeing the civil […]

Turkey arrests over 100 IS suspects ahead of New Year

Turkish security forces have arrested more than 100 people suspected of links to the so-called Islamic State (IS) group, authorities said, describing the operation as a move to prevent planned attacks during the Christmas and New Year period.

The prosecutor’s office added that the detained suspects were in communication with IS […]

Turkey orders arrest of 29 footballers in widening betting scandal

Turkish prosecutors have ordered the arrest of 29 footballers and officials as part of a fast expanding investigation into illegal betting and possible match fixing in the country’s professional leagues.​ Authorities in Istanbul said the latest warrants form part of a wider probe that has already seen eight people, including a top flight club president and several referees, arrested in recent weeks.​ The investigation is focused on insider gambling and allegations that some players and officials placed bets on matches in which they were directly involved, in clear breach of football regulations and national sports integrity laws.​ Prosecutors disclosed that among those implicated are players from leading Süper Lig clubs, with at least one Galatasaray and one Fenerbahce footballer accused of betting on their own team’s games, sometimes using intermediaries to place wagers.​ Earlier, the Turkish Football Federation had suspended […]

Pope Leo visits Istanbul’s iconic Blue Mosque

Pope Leo XIV has visited Istanbul’s famed Blue Mosque as part of his first foreign trip since becoming head of the Catholic Church. The stop at the 17th‑century Sultan Ahmed Mosque came during a multi‑day visit to Türkiye and Lebanon marking the 1,700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea.​ At the mosque, Turkey’s top religious official from the Diyanet walked the pontiff through the carpeted interior, showing him the soaring blue‑tiled dome and Arabic calligraphy that give the site its global renown. Following the example of his predecessors, Leo removed his shoes and spent a quiet moment in reflection, seen as a gesture of respect toward the country’s Muslim majority.​ The Blue Mosque visit is one of several symbolic moments on a trip focused on dialogue between Christians and Muslims and support for Christian communities in the Middle East.

Pope John Paul II attacker removed from Turkish town

Turkish authorities have removed Mehmet Ali Agca, the man who tried to assassinate Pope John Paul II in 1981, from the town of Iznik ahead of Pope Leo XIV’s visit. Local media reported that Agca had travelled to the northwestern town hoping to briefly meet the new pope during his historic trip.​ Agca, a Turkish national, shot and seriously wounded John Paul II in St Peter’s Square in May 1981 and later received a life sentence in Italy before being transferred to Ankara to complete his term. He was released in 2010 after spending about 29 years in prison.​ In statements from Iznik, Agca said he wanted to “welcome the pope” and expressed hope that they could sit down and talk for a few minutes in Iznik or Istanbul. However, broadcasters including Halk TV said police escorted him out of […]

Iran Seeks Foreign Help as Fire Ravages UNESCO Forests

Iran has sought foreign assistance to combat a large fire ravaging the UNESCO-listed Hyrcanian forests in the north. Stretching 1,000 kilometers along the Caspian Sea into Azerbaijan, the ancient forests—unique for their 25–50 million-year age and 3,200 plant species—were recognized as a World Heritage Site in 2019. The blaze, allegedly sparked by hunters in Mazandaran province, reignited on November 15 after an earlier outbreak was quelled. Iran’s government urgently requested help from friendly countries, with Turkey dispatching planes, a helicopter, and specialists. If necessary, Iran said it would seek aid from Russia. The country also faces its worst drought in six decades, making firefighting efforts extremely complex. UNESCO highlights the forests’ rare, endemic, and endangered species, vital to Persian heritage and biodiversity. Iranian scientists and officials warn the fire risks irreparable natural and cultural loss, urging accelerated international support.

 Sheikh Gumi Denies Fleeing Nigeria to Turkey to Escape Trump

Controversial Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has denied social media rumors claiming he fled Nigeria to hide in Turkey due to fears of US President Donald Trump’s threat of military intervention over alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria. Gumi, currently in Turkey giving interviews, provided proof that his visa was obtained weeks before Trump’s November 1 tweet. Photos online had fueled suspicions, with users speculating Gumi’s ties to suspected terrorists led him to escape. Gumi called such claims “melancholy, concocted lies,” emphasizing Trump “has no power over us.” Gumi argued accusations of Christian genocide are “Islamophobia” and manipulation, sharing a message from a doctor alleging fake mass killings in the Middle Belt. He criticized Trump for spreading “dangerously deceptive” claims about violence in Nigeria. Gumi urged Nigerians not to trust external claims of genocide, invoking past examples of misinformation and insisting […]

Syria’s Jihadist-Turned-President Caps Historic Transformation with White House Visit

Less than a year after a lightning rise to power, Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa visits the White House, marking a dramatic shift from his past as a jihadist fighter to international statesman. The visit, the first by a Syrian head of state, comes as al-Sharaa aims to reshape Syria’s foreign relations and end diplomatic isolation imposed during the Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, formerly an Islamist insurgent who battled US forces in Iraq, later toppled the decades-long regime of Bashar al-Assad through a surprise offensive. He now advocates for lifting US sanctions and seeks American support to push Israel to halt attacks and withdraw from southern Syria. Despite some sanctions lifted after a Saudi-brokered Trump-Al-Sharaa meeting in May, the toughest US measures require congressional sign-off. The young leader is balancing ties between Moscow and Western states, conscious of Russia’s military influence and […]
