El-Fasher Falls as RSF Siege Conducts Mass Killings and Starvation El-Fasher, once the vibrant capital of North Darfur, has fallen to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), plunging the city into one of the most catastrophic chapters of the country’s war. After a 500-day siege that strangled food, water, and medical supplies, RSF fighters stormed the city, torching neighbourhoods, shelling hospitals, and carrying out execution-style killings. More than 2,000 civilians were reportedly slaughtered in just 48 hours, with bodies left in the streets and homes. Footage emerging from the region shows burned districts and desperate families fleeing under fire. Over 150,000 people have been killed across Sudan since the conflict erupted, and more than 12 million have been displaced. Yet, global attention remains shockingly muted as a humanitarian catastrophe unfolds in real time. With El-Fasher now entirely cut off, hundreds of thousands of civilians face starvation, disease, and unrelenting violence. Aid agencies warn that the city’s fall could accelerate a genocide if humanitarian corridors are not opened immediately. Witnesses describe widespread sexual violence, mass executions, and the deliberate targeting of families attempting to escape. Despite the United Nations calling this a “terrible escalation,” diplomatic urgency remains absent and media coverage sparse. Sudan’s war has slipped into silence, but the stakes could not be higher; every day without international action means more deaths, more families broken, and another crisis the world failed to stop.

Russian propagandist Solovyev rejoices at the humanitarian catastrophe Russia brought to Kyiv: "We have driven Ukraine into the Stone Age. Terrifying cold is approaching. The energy system is extremely sensitive to imbalance, which is why a technological disaster unfolds as key components are knocked out. When you try to put additional strain on it, the system spirals out of control. So what happens next? Kyiv will turn into a giant cesspool."

My remarks today from the Chamber of Deputies in Rome during the seminar “Sudan: Between War and Humanitarian Crisis,” alongside Dr. Bakri Elijack, MP Isabella De Monte, and MP Roberto Bagnasco of Forza Italia. We highlighted #Sudan’s humanitarian catastrophe, the war’s regional and global implications, the need to support Quad-led peace efforts in complementarity with other initiatives, and the importance of designating Sudan’s Islamist movement as a terrorist network for its central role in fueling this war. We hope these efforts help advance a just peace and put Sudan on the path to stability. #SaveSudan

“Journalists have been attacked without… justification. They must at least be afforded protection as they are doing their noble job. They are humans before being journalists.” Al Jazeera English correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum has spent over six months reporting from the ground in Gaza. Many of his colleagues and loved ones have been killed in that time. He spoke with me about the reality of reporting from inside Gaza.

While reporting from Grand Mosalla in Tehran,I spoke with Iran's IMNA News Agency about my coverage of the funeral of Ayatollah Khamenei. In my view, history will judge Khamenei as one of the most consequential anti-imperialist leaders of the modern era, whose influence reached far beyond Iran's borders.

When one western journalist fails to get a visa renewal, it's big news, as a current case shows. But there is a long list of Chinese journalists who've suffered the same fate in the west, and the international media gives it zero or minimal coverage: it is shockingly unfair

From November 28 to December 2, a delegation of 26 journalists from 11 countries embarked on an immersive tour through Guangdong, China. The visit, organized by South, blended firsthand encounters with technological frontiers, from smart, driverless transport in Guangzhou to cutting-edge tech hubs in Shenzhen, with deep cultural exchanges. The journey culminated in the launch of the Maritime Silk Road Media Cooperation Platform during an international communication seminar, marking a formal step towards sustained dialogue and story-sharing among Global South media. This journey wasn't just about reporting—it was about carrying home tangible lessons in sustainable development, technological leapfrogging, and cross-cultural storytelling. As one journalist put it, "We came to see firsthand what Guangdong has to offer."

For the first time in more than 60 years, CBS News is no longer reporting from inside the Pentagon after declining — along with nearly every major news organization — to sign onto new rules for media covering the department. “Secretary Hegseth promised the most transparent administration ever. As one former defense official told us, the American people are going to know a lot less about what their department of war is doing,” Margaret Brennan notes.

Mary Trump, an American psychologist, author, and one of the most prominent critics of her uncle, Donald Trump: “This is a nightmare of America's own making. This is what happens when you put in charge people as incompetent, greedy, corrupt and quite frankly stupid as Donald Trump. Those who have never learned from history because they've never learned history. As the Trump regime pushes deeper into war with Iran, analysts warn that the same patterns may be unfolding as unfolded during the war with Iraq. However, this time around, things may become much worse”

There is no international media here to broadcast this to the American and European public. Shame on you, reporting non-stop from Jerusalem and areas just kilometers away, while pretending your hands are tied. “Oh, Israel isn’t allowing us into Gaza!” How about not allowing yourselves into Israel as a response? (“voluntary ban on journalists” if one can describe it as such.) This is one of the most heartbreaking scenes. Families of missing Palestinians—whether killed in Gaza by Israel and their bodies then held hostage, or abducted by Israel and later killed under torture—sit in front of a screen, desperately hoping to recognize a loved one among the bodies returned through the ICRC. These hostages were returned not with names, but as numbers. In bags. With visible signs of torture. Blindfolded. Handcuffed. Some were even hanged. And yet, no journalists are reporting live to their channels on these hostages. No one follows their funerals. No interviews with their parents, children, uncles, aunts, neighbors, or friends. Unlike the intense, wall-to-wall coverage given to the few hostages, just a few kilometers

🇮🇱 Stories of Christians in the Holy Land are being pushed into the dark. Stephen Herreid says the targeting of Zeal News cuts especially deep, as the outlet was one of the few still consistently reporting the suffering of Christians and the Church there... a community that already sits outside most mainstream coverage. When one of those scarce voices gets silenced, people simply stop hearing about it. That’s why this fight against censorship matters more than the usual battles. An overlooked story loses its consistent tellers, and the silence grows. Source: Tucker Carlson / Writer: Val

Australian-British classical pianist Jayson Gillham has been banned from performing with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra after he made comments about the IDF targeting journalists in Gaza… “Over the last 10 months, Israel has killed more than one hundred Palestinian journalists. A number of these have been targeted assassinations of prominent journalists as they were travelling in marked press vehicles or wearing their press jackets. The killing of journalists is a war crime in international law, and it is done in an effort to prevent the documentation and broadcasting of war crimes to the world”… Gillham received a rapturous applause after his comments…🇦🇺🇵🇸

This week I entered Gaza with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. I am one of the only civilians who has been given permission to enter. I went to see for myself what is happening at the humanitarian aid sites. What I saw proved that what the media is reporting about the situation is absolutely false. The GHF’s mission is to feed the people of Gaza in a way that Hamas can’t steal the food, and it’s working. I witnessed over 13,000 people being fed including 3,300 women and children. Stay tuned for more exclusive content from what I saw in Gaza. Big thank you to Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for the critical humanitarian work they are doing.
