Trump pulls US out of dozens of global organisations

US President Donald Trump has ordered the United States to withdraw from dozens of international organisations, including many focused on climate change and global governance. The decision affects 66 entities, nearly half of which are affiliated with the United Nations. Among those impacted is the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the treaty that forms the foundation of international cooperation to address global warming. The White House said the withdrawals were justified on the grounds that these organisations no longer align with US interests and support agendas considered ineffective or hostile. According to an official statement, the move follows a review that concluded continued participation amounted to a misuse of public funds. The administration said the decision would end US financial contributions and involvement in bodies it believes prioritise global initiatives over national priorities. It further accused several organisations of […]

Venezuela slams Trump’s ‘total blockade’ threat

Venezuela has condemned US President Donald Trump’s order for a “total and complete” blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers heading to the country, calling it a “warmongering” threat and a grave danger to peace in South America. The move is part of Washington’s effort to increase pressure on President Nicolas Maduro’s government.​ The escalation follows the recent seizure of an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast and a significant build-up of US military forces in the region. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Venezuela of using oil revenue to fund drug trafficking and other crimes and vowed to expand the military presence until Caracas hands over oil, land and other assets he claims were “stolen” from the United States.​ Trump wrote that Venezuela is “completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America” and […]

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 […]

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 […]

Timi Frank condemns rigged elections in Tanzania, Cameroon, Ivory Coast

Political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has condemned the recent elections in Tanzania, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast, describing them as “sham exercises” and “a disgrace to Africa.” Frank alleged that the polls were marked by manipulation, intimidation, and political violence, claiming they were selections rather than genuine elections. “These elections are a disgrace and shame to Africa,” he said. “In this 21st century, the continent should be making democratic progress, but what we see instead is the growing culture of rigging, violence, and oppression.” He urged the United Nations (UN), United States (US), and the European Union (EU) not to recognise or congratulate the outcomes of such elections, warning that failure to act could push Africa into further instability. “If nothing is done, this systematic rigging may soon lead […]

US blocks visas for Palestinian officials ahead of UN summit

The United States announced on Friday that it will refuse visas to Palestinian Authority officials planning to attend next month’s United Nations General Assembly in New York. The move comes as France leads an international push to recognize a Palestinian state. The decision marks a significant escalation by President Donald Trump’s administration, which has consistently aligned itself with Israel’s government. Israel strongly opposes Palestinian statehood and has sought to equate the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority with Hamas in Gaza. “Secretary of State Marco Rubio is denying and revoking visas from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) ahead of the UN General Assembly,” the US State Department said in a statement. The department accused Palestinian leaders of undermining peace efforts by turning to international courts instead of direct negotiations with Israel. It said the PA […]
