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.

Gumi asks FG to halt military cooperation with US over ISIS bombing

He said foreign military interventions often come with hidden political interests and can lead to civilian casualties.​ Gumi also cautioned that […]

Venezuela Tells UN US Has Continental Ambitions

Venezuela has accused the United States of pursuing a broader strategy aimed at asserting dominance across Latin America, warning the United Nations Security Council that Washington’s actions go far beyond its dispute with Caracas. Speaking before the 15-member council, Venezuela’s ambassador to the UN, Samuel Moncada, said the pressure campaign against President Nicolás Maduro’s government reflects what he described as “continental ambitions” outlined in US strategic thinking.

He cited the US National Security Strategy, arguing that it openly frames the future of the Americas as falling under US influence. The remarks came after Venezuela requested an emergency Security Council meeting to address what it calls ongoing US aggression, including air strikes launched in September […]

He stressed that these defensive assets are “by no means subject to negotiation” and that Iran will decide for itself how to maintain […]
