The Trump administration “unquestionably” violated a court order when it put eight migrants with violent criminal convictions onto a flight to South Sudan, a Biden-nominated federal judge ruled Wednesday. US District Judge Brian Murphy, who was nominated to the seat by former President Joe Biden in 2024, slammed the White House for failing to provide the men with adequate due process when ordering them on a flight bound to the African nation, of which only one of them is actually from. “The department actions in this case are unquestionably in violation of this court’s order,” the judge said in an...

Madrid-based Prisoners Defenders, an NGO focused on Cuban human rights, reported that the Cuban and Russian governments signed an agreement in which Cuba would send soldiers to join the war in Ukraine. Such a development raises many important questions. The Wagner Group’s dramatic failed mutiny displayed something the Kremlin knew long ago: the group, including its leader, Yevgeny Prighozin, has become a problem for Russia, particularly on the Ukrainian front. The group had little military training and served as cannon fodder in the war. Thousands of its fighters fell in battle. Wagner was convenient to Russia, as many of its...

Aide: Clinton Unleashed bin Laden Chuck Noe Bill Clinton ignored repeated opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist allies and is responsible for the spread of terrorism, one of the ex-president’s own top aides charges. Mansoor Ijaz, who negotiated with Sudan on behalf of Clinton from 1996 to 1998, paints a portrait of a White House plagued by incompetence, focused on appearances rather than action, and heedless of profound threats to national security. Ijaz also claims Clinton passed on an opportunity to have Osama bin Laden arrested. Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, hoping to have terrorism sanctions ...

This is a simple question, but one that needs you to seriously consider before you respond. This is because, when you think about it, you will then be confronted with the reality that most of the wars America has been in since the end of WWII have nothing to do with our national interests. Now we could argue whether or not WWI was in our best interest. Yet since the end of WWII, other than a very few instance, our military actions have almost exclusively been because of problems caused by European nations. (Both Western and Eastern nations) Mind you,...

Jihadists are murdering, raping, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving, and, in some instances, burning people alive — across Africa, and now in Syria. Local jihadist organizations go by different names, but the ideology that drives them is the same: Every one of them deeply believes that Allah wants him to wipe the world clean of the kuffar (infidels). More than 16.2 million Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa have been driven from their homes by jihadi violence and conflict, reports the human rights organization Open Doors. Women and girls are abducted, forced into "marriage," forced to convert to Islam, raped, and subjected to forced...

Sudan's army chief has declared Khartoum is "free" and that his forces have retaken the capital after nearly two years of fighting. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have been battling to oust the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from a last foothold in the city, although the war looks far from over. In videos on social media, General Abdel Fattah al Burhan is seen walking with troops through the presidential palace, which was seized last week​​​​​​ in an important symbolic advance. "Khartoum is now free. It's over. Khartoum is free. Free. Free," he can be heard telling soldiers.

The Sudanese army has recaptured significant locations in Khartoum, including the presidential palace and Khartoum International Airport, from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This offensive, which took place amidst ongoing conflict, marks a major shift in control over the capital. The army's advance has led to scenes of relief among civilians, as previously restricted neighborhoods are now accessible.

The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for moving Palestinians uprooted from the Gaza Strip under President Donald Trump’s proposed postwar plan, American and Israeli officials told The Associated Press. The contacts with Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland reflect the determination by the U.S. and Israel to press ahead with a plan that has been widely condemned and raised serious legal and moral issues. Because all three places are poor, and in some cases wracked by violence, the proposal...

Donald Trump is set to ban people from 43 countries from travelling to the US - with visas from Russia being 'sharply restricted'.

The explosive immigration proposals come as the US president is wrestling with Putin and Zelensky over a ceasefire in Ukraine - warning last night that World War III could 'very easily' erupt if peace talks failed. Alongside the warring state a vast swathe of nations from across the...

More than a dozen ill-prepared migrants, including five children, were caught trying to illegally cross into Canada in below-freezing weather that could have claimed their lives, officials said. Alberta police intercepted four adults and five children from Venezuela who were trudging their suitcases through the snow in bone-chilling temperatures of minus-22 degrees Fahrenheit, The Guardian reports. Canadian Police Assistant Commissioner Lisa Moreland told reporters the group was found struggling in the snow and “incredibly cold” weather, which put their lives at risk. A second group of migrants — made up of six adults from Jordan, Sudan, Chad, and Mauritius —...

The latest conflict in Sudan has raged for almost two years and has had an enormous human cost. Tens of thousands of people killed, horrific allegations of war crimes - and millions have been forced from their homes, many of them burned out of their neighbourhoods. In parts of Sudan the international organisation the IPC has declared famine - and that's expected to grow in the coming months.

The United States just formally declared that genocide has taken place in the northeast African nation, but the calamity there dates back decades. A civil war in Sudan that has killed 150,000 people and forced more than 11 million others from their homes, by some estimates, prompted the U.S. government on Tuesday to declare that a genocide had been perpetrated by one of the war’s main antagonists, the ethnic Arab militia known as the Rapid Support Forces.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), one of the Jewish state’s most vocal supporters in Congress who has hung posters in his office of hostages held in the Gaza Strip since the Hamas-led terror attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, has been protested often by anti-Israel activists, who accuse him of supporting a “genocide” in Gaza. The day after Washington determined that a genocide was committed in Sudan, he didn’t expect to see any protesters about that. “Zero dopes have shown up at my home or office, or blocked a road to chant and protest over an actual genocide in Sudan,”...

By the text, the 15-member Council would have condemned the continued assault by the Rapid Support Forces in El Fasher and demanded that it immediately halt all its attacks against civilians in Darfur, Al Jazirah State and Sennar State and elsewhere in Sudan.
