I just appeared on Russian TV to speak on the security situation in Nigeria and I stated the reality as it is. We are facing coordinated attacks by criminal gangs who are exploiting ungoverned spaces in the North West and North Central, but the government is not folding its arms. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered intensified operations in the affected corridors, including the deployment of special forces, expansion of intelligence networks, and disruption of the ransom economy that funds these groups. The military and security agencies are already carrying out targeted strikes on identified camps, rescue missions, and blocking movements along major forest routes. I made it clear that the President is fully engaged with state governors, service chiefs, and local security formations to close the security gaps and take back control of vulnerable communities. Nigeria is going through a difficult phase, but the government is responding with urgency, coordination, and a renewed determination to end these attacks and protect every Nigerian life.

The battle line between the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Boko Haram has reached a deadly new phase, as both factions intensify efforts to eliminate each other completely. In recent months, Boko Haram had successfully overpowered ISWAP in several of their strongholds, inflicting significant losses. However, ISWAP appears to have regrouped and regained momentum, launching a series of renewed and more sophisticated offensives. Intelligence sources indicate that ISWAP’s resurgence may have been aided by the involvement of foreign mercenaries operating within the Lake Chad region a factor that has shifted the balance of power between the two rival groups. The mercenaries helped ISWAP to deploy the use of armed drones to attack Boko Haram positions. In a significant development, ISWAP fighters recently extended their operations to the Mandara Mountains and many parts of Sambisa Forest, an area historically dominated by Boko Haram marking the first time they have carried the fight deep into the Mandara strategic terrain. The renewed clashes will continue to escalate in the coming weeks with no end in sight.

*Peter Obi and the Case for a New Global Conversation About Africa* By Maazi Tochukwu Ezeoke Yesterday in London, I had the honour of accompanying His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi to a series of strategic engagements and high-level meetings focused on Africa’s evolving place in the global order. Among the most significant was a productive meeting with Alex Vines, Director of the Africa Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). What stood out throughout the engagement was Peter Obi’s consistent and deliberate advocacy for a new international approach toward Africa, one rooted not in pity or patronage, but in partnership, respect, and shared strategic interests. For decades, Africa has too often been discussed within narrow frameworks of aid, instability, poverty, and crisis management. The continent has frequently been reduced to statistics and humanitarian narratives, despite its enormous economic, demographic, and geopolitical importance. Peter Obi’s position during these conversations was both clear and compelling: Africa must no longer be treated merely as a recipient of global attention, but as an essential stakeholder in shaping the future global economy and international relations. He emphasized that just as the world increasingly recognizes the strategic importance of countries and regions such as India, Indonesia, and parts of Southeast Asia, Africa deserves the same level of seriousness, engagement, and long-term partnership. More importantly, he stressed that Nigeria must play a central role in that emerging conversation. With its vast human capital, entrepreneurial population, natural resources, and regional influence, Nigeria possesses the capacity to become a major driver of economic growth and innovation on the African continent. Yet, according to Obi, realizing that potential requires leadership driven by productivity, competence, institutional reform, and investment in people. What became increasingly evident during the meetings was Peter Obi’s determination to reposition Africa within global diplomatic and economic discourse, not through rhetoric alone, but through constructive engagement, credibility, and policy-driven conversations. His advocacy reflects a broader vision, one where Africa is viewed not as a burden to be managed, but as a strategic partner capable of contributing meaningfully to global trade, innovation, security, climate solutions, and economic transformation. At a time when many global powers are recalibrating their foreign policy priorities, Peter Obi believes Africa cannot afford to remain on the margins of critical international conversations. He argues that the continent must engage the world with confidence, clarity, and a strong sense of purpose. These engagements in London reinforced the importance of leaders who can articulate Africa’s value beyond slogans and emotional appeals. The future global order will increasingly be shaped by strategic alliances, economic cooperation, technological advancement, and demographic realities, areas where Africa possesses undeniable relevance. Peter Obi’s interventions during these discussions demonstrated his continued commitment to ensuring that Africa, and Nigeria in particular, are not excluded from that future. Nigerians should also expect to see more of such strategic international engagements in the coming months. These meetings are part of a broader effort to build relationships, expand diplomatic and economic conversations, and position Nigeria more credibly within emerging global discussions that will shape the future of nations and economies. The message from London was unmistakable: Africa’s role in the world must evolve from passive participation to active partnership, and Peter Obi remains one of the leading voices pushing that conversation onto the global stage.

❗️❗️🇮🇱🇺🇸 Benjamin Netanyahu to Brief Donald Trump on Possible Action Against Iran Israeli officials indicate that Tehran is accelerating the expansion of its ballistic missile program, which Jerusalem views as a growing and immediate security threat. According to these assessments, the scale and pace of Iran’s missile development have prompted renewed strategic concern at the highest political and military levels. Against this backdrop, Netanyahu is expected to brief Trump on updated intelligence findings and Israel’s contingency planning. Sources say a range of potential military responses is being evaluated, including the option of new strikes should Iran’s capabilities continue to advance. The discussions are framed as part of broader U.S.–Israeli coordination on Iran, focusing on deterrence, regional stability, and preventing Tehran from reaching more advanced strike capabilities.

It’s great to see U.S. government agencies working side by side with Mexican counterparts to target TERROR CARTEL driven methamphetamine operations. The United States has been hit with a tsunami of meth, and sharing expertise, intelligence, and capabilities across borders is critical to turning this crisis around. These missions are incredibly dangerous, especially when confronting violent cartel networks on their own turf. Tragically, this operation resulted in the loss of two Americans and two Mexican officers. We honor their service, sacrifice, and courage. Rest in peace. Thank you America Reports for the great coverage on this important story and Daniel Hoffman for his continued expertise on these national security matters.

MAJOR TERROR PLOT FOILED: PAKISTANI SECURITY FORCES SMASH FAH's So-called QAHAR DRONE FORCE, PREVENT LARGE-SCALE ATTACK IN KHARAN A major terrorist plot was successfully foiled after security forces launched a decisive counterterrorism operation against Terrorists of the (BLA) in the Killi Sarawan area along the strategic Kharan–Basima Road. Nearly 30 to 35 heavily armed Ts, including members of the BLA's so-called drone unit, infiltrated the area with plans to establish illegal checkpoints, terrorize local communities, extort civilians, and execute a large-scale terrorist attack. The Ts used mosque loudspeakers to announce their presence and attempted to intimidate residents by claiming they would maintain control of the area for several days. Acting on credible intelligence, Security forces launched a precision operation supported by advanced surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. The terrorists were tracked and engaged before they could carry out their planned attacks. At first light, security forces moved in with a carefully coordinated strategy while ensuring the safety of civilians. Facing intense pressure, the terrorists abandoned their positions and retreated into a nearby school building, from where they opened fire on advancing troops. Security forces swiftly surrounded the location and carried out a clearance operation, killing four terrorists and injuring at least six others. The operation dealt a significant blow to the BLA's operational network. In their hasty retreat, the terrorists abandoned weapons, equipment, and personal belongings, underscoring the scale of their defeat. Security forces recovered a substantial cache of weapons and terrorist equipment, including: • Six motorcycles used for mobility and logistics • Three quadcopter drones intended for terrorist operations • Three drone-launched rockets • Fourteen rockets ready for use • Two improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which were safely defused by bomb disposal teams The recovered drones and munitions were intended for use in future attacks, highlighting the growing threat posed by terrorist groups seeking to employ drone technology for destructive purposes. The successful operation not only dismantled a key terrorist cell but also neutralized a significant drone-based threat, preventing what could have been a major terrorist attack against civilian and security targets. The operation ensured the protection of Kharan city and surrounding communities, reaffirming the resolve of Pakistan's security forces to eliminate terrorism and maintain stability across Balochistan.

MILITARY DESTROYS ISWAP WATERWAY LOGISTICS NETWORK IN DEVASTATING PRECISION STRIKES, NEUTRALISES SCORES IN LAKE CHAD Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in sustained offensive operations conducted in the night of 21/22 April 2026, delivered devastating precision air strikes that dismantled ISWAP terrorist logistics networks along the Lake Chad waterways around the Kaniram Island axis in Northern Borno State. Acting on credible Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) inputs, OPHK air assets established persistent overhead presence and confirmed the concentration of over 30 terrorist boats and associated terrorist elements coordinating movement and resupply activities. Target validation and positive identification were carefully achieved, ensuring high targeting fidelity prior to engagement. Following deliberate confirmation in line with Rules of Engagement, OPHK executed well-coordinated precision strikes that destroyed several boats and disrupted the terrorists’ logistics hub. This immediately degraded their mobility and ability to sustain operations. Real-time ISR enabled rapid follow-on strikes on fleeing and regrouping elements within nearby vegetation, leading to the neutralisation of over 30 terrorists. Surviving elements were observed escaping in disarray, reflecting a breakdown in their cohesion and command structure. In a related engagement at Sowolwolo in the Sambisa Forest axis, additional precision guided strikes was conducted following target fidelity acquisition with Partners. The strike took out 3 terrorist Gun trucks and neutralised more terrorists within the vicinity. Battle Damage Assessment (BDA), supported by post-strike intelligence, confirmed significant enemy losses, with evidence of mass burial activities especially by ISWAP elements in the Mallam Fatori axis further underscoring the scale of attrition inflicted. Ground forces are currently exploiting the effects of these strikes to dominate adjoining areas and prevent any reconstitution by fleeing elements. These operations highlight OPHK’s sustained offensive pressure and effective air–land integration in dismantling terrorist networks, degrading their capabilities, and denying them freedom of action across the Joint Operations Area. The Military High Command commends troops for the impressive battle performance and urged them to sustain aggressive operations to dominate the battlespace. OPHK will continue to maintain relentless pressure on all terrorist elements until they are decisively defeated. SANI UBA Lieutenant Colonel Media Information Officer Headquarters Joint Task Force.

In which country other than AFGHANISTAN can Al-Qaeda and TTP carry out military training so openly and securely?? Mr. Donald J. Trump , these jihadist and terrorist groups are not training merely for only Afghanistan territory. They consider killing Americans a religious duty and are preparing for it in upcoming terrorist attacks on U.S. soil with your own weapons and equipments left behind in Afghanistan. At the same time, TTP militias are training alongside Al-Qaeda fighters in joint military exercises, posing a serious security threat to our friendly neighboring country, Pakistan. Note: As we have warned many times,The Taliban are the head of this OCTOPUS, and the more time they are given, the more terrorist branches will grow across the region and beyond.

Soldiers on the Cape Flats: [COMMENT] The continued shootings on the Cape Flats despite deployments point to a deeper problem than just visible policing. It suggests that while boots on the ground may disrupt crime temporarily, they are not dismantling the underlying gang structures driving the violence. These groups are organised, entrenched, and often have access to illegal firearms, intelligence, and community-level influence that allows them to adapt quickly to the presence of security forces. What’s happening is that criminals adjust their operations, they change times, locations, and tactics while continuing their activities. In some cases, violence even escalates in response to pressure, especially where gang rivalries and territorial control are involved. This means deployments alone, without sustained intelligence-led operations and successful prosecutions, are not enough to stabilise the situation. It also raises uncomfortable questions about coordination, effectiveness, and whether enough is being done to target the leadership and financial networks behind these gangs. Without that, you’re treating symptoms, not the cause. Bottom line: if shootings continue despite deployment, it signals that the strategy is not yet effective, and a more focused, intelligence-driven and corruption-free approach is urgently needed. Over recent days, scores of shootings have been reported on the Cape Flats. Hundreds of lives have been lost over recent months.

HOW THE WEST SUPPORTS ISLAMIST EXTREMIST GROUPS In recent decades, radical Islamist groups have proliferated across Africa, from Egypt to Libya, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and beyond. But whose interests do these groups truly serve? While some claim to be fighting the West, the reality is far more complex. Many of these movements have played into the hands of imperialists and neo-colonial forces by destabilising anti-imperial secular nationalist leaders, ultimately advancing Western-backed agendas. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, Libya's Islamic fighters, ISIS in Sinai, ISIS in the Sahel and Boko Haram in Nigeria all highlight the uncomfortable truth that these groups often deepen divisions and fuel conflict rather than achieve their stated goals. From Boko Haram's mysterious funding to the US-backed overthrow of Gaddafi, to terrorist groups targeting the Alliance of Sahel States - history shows how these violent movements often serve imperial interests. For a deeper understanding of how these so-called Islamist groups continue to advance neocolonial interests, it's crucial to question who truly benefits from the chaos. Watch African Stream's Ahmed Kaballo break down a list of extremist groups that have all served imperialist interests in Africa and beyond.

● I’ve attended today a simulated special operation exercise conducted by the Counter-Terrorism Unit, involving a raid to free hostages and arrest terrorist elements. The exercise demonstrated a high level of readiness, efficiency, and discipline, and confirmed the professionalism this elite force has achieved through advanced training and qualification programs. These programs were conducted with direct support from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to whom we extend our sincere thanks and deep appreciation for their ongoing and genuine support in building the capabilities of Yemeni state institutions, particularly the security and military apparatus. ● Counterterrorism efforts must be managed exclusively through legitimate state institutions, within a clear legal and institutional framework that guarantees the rule of law, protects citizens' rights, and prevents a descent into chaos and the proliferation of power centers. Experience has proven that any security efforts carried out outside the authority of the state only complicate the situation, expand the scope of violations, and undermine opportunities for stability. The security lapses we have witnessed in some areas are a direct result of bypassing state institutions and operating outside their legitimate framework. ● The state affirms its unwavering commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms through an effective partnership and close coordination with the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in cooperation with the international community. This commitment ensures respect for international humanitarian law, the protection of civilians, and the enhancement of security and stability at both the national and regional levels. ● The state is also committed to its national, regional, and international responsibilities in protecting international waterways and shipping lanes, which are vital arteries for global trade and regional security. This commitment is demonstrated through continuous cooperation with the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy and international partners, contributing to the preservation of maritime security, the protection of shared interests, and the deterrence of any threats to freedom of navigation and its security. ● Within the same context, the state will resolutely continue its joint efforts with the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy to combat arms smuggling to the Houthi terrorist militia and to cut off its sources of weapons. And its funding, given the direct threat this poses to national, regional, and international security, prolongs the conflict, and undermines peace prospects. ● The core of the Yemeni crisis remains the coup by the terrorist Houthi militia against the state and its legitimate institutions, and the resulting systematic destruction of the political, security, economic, and humanitarian situation. Therefore, restoring the state and ending the coup is a national priority that cannot be postponed. The state will continue to complete the liberation and restore its institutions, peacefully whenever possible, and by force when necessary, to preserve Yemen's sovereignty, security, stability, and unity of its national decision.

OPERATION HADIN KAI EXECUTES UNPRECEDENTED INTELLIGENCE-LED RESCUE OPERATION, FREES 360 ABDUCTEES FROM JAS STRONGHOLD IN THE MANDARA MOUNTAINS In one of the most significant hostage rescue operations conducted in the North East Theatre in recent times, troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), comprising Special Forces and troops of Sector 1, have successfully rescued 360 abductees from a heavily fortified Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) enclave deep within the Mandara Mountains area of southern Borno State. The operation, which was the culmination of weeks of painstaking intelligence preparation, covert reconnaissance, and operational planning, resulted in the safe recovery of men, women, and children who had been held in captivity under harsh conditions after being abducted from several communities, particularly within the Ngoshe axis. The successful rescue underscores the growing operational reach, intelligence dominance, and tactical superiority of OPHK in denying terrorists freedom of action and protecting vulnerable populations across the theatre. The operation was initiated following the receipt of credible and corroborated intelligence from multiple sources indicating the precise location of the hostages and the existence of an elaborate insurgent support network sustaining the enclave. OPHK intelligence elements subsequently launched an extensive target development process involving the integration of Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations conducted through unmanned aerial systems and long-range reconnaissance patrols. Through sustained intelligence collection and analysis, commanders developed a comprehensive understanding of the terrain, insurgent disposition, defensive arrangements, movement patterns, and the condition of the abductees. This intelligence-driven approach enabled the force to accurately map the objective area, identify vulnerabilities within the terrorist network, and significantly reduce risks to the hostages during the rescue mission. A decisive breakthrough was achieved through the successful penetration of the terrorist network by carefully cultivated intelligence assets operating under the supervision of OPHK military intelligence personnel. These assets provided timely and actionable intelligence regarding the exact locations of the abductees, the disposition of insurgent commanders, internal security measures, and planned relocation routes. Simultaneously, carefully coordinated information and psychological operations created uncertainty and mistrust within the insurgent ranks, degrading their cohesion and disrupting command and control arrangements. The resulting intelligence advantage provided OPHK with unprecedented situational awareness and enabled commanders to shape the operational environment well before the commencement of the assault phase.

OPERATION HADIN KAI EXECUTES UNPRECEDENTED INTELLIGENCE-LED RESCUE OPERATION, FREES 360 ABDUCTEES FROM JAS STRONGHOLD IN THE MANDARA MOUNTAINS In one of the most significant hostage rescue operations conducted in the North East Theatre in recent times, troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), comprising Special Forces and troops of Sector 1, have successfully rescued 360 abductees from a heavily fortified Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) enclave deep within the Mandara Mountains area of southern Borno State. The operation, which was the culmination of weeks of painstaking intelligence preparation, covert reconnaissance, and operational planning, resulted in the safe recovery of men, women, and children who had been held in captivity under harsh conditions after being abducted from several communities, particularly within the Ngoshe axis. The successful rescue underscores the growing operational reach, intelligence dominance, and tactical superiority of OPHK in denying terrorists freedom of action and protecting vulnerable populations across the theatre. The operation was initiated following the receipt of credible and corroborated intelligence from multiple sources indicating the precise location of the hostages and the existence of an elaborate insurgent support network sustaining the enclave.

We Were Trained By Foreign Instructors – JNIM Terrorist Who Participated In Mali Attacks On April 25, 2026, the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) foiled a series of coordinated terror attacks targeting several cities across the country, primarily the garrison towns of Kati, Kidal, Gao and Sevare. The Al-Qaeda-linked Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and the so-called Azawad Liberation Forces (FLA) both claimed responsibility for these attacks, whose scale and orchestration suggested substantial external backing – Al-Qaeda has known links to the US government. On April 28, 2026, Mali President Assimi Goïta addressed the nation, vowing to continue military operations until the forces of terror were expelled from the country. In this video recorded by Russia’s The African Corps, which has been a key ally to Mali in its fight against Western-backed terror, a JNIM terrorist who participated in the April 25 attacks admits to being trained by “foreign instructors” – which to those in the know, is simply code for France and Ukraine. As a member of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Mali has faced relentless attacks by Western-backed terrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media. Despite these externally-imposed challenges, the country and its fellow AES members, Niger and Burkina Faso, have continued to record economic and political wins. All 3 AES members have pointed to former colonizer France as a key sponsor of terror in the region – a claim which has been corroborated by their international allies – and France itself has made no bones about its intentions to revive its dwindling influence in Africa, and in so doing, shore up its presently crumbling economy.

Somalia Is Not a Dumping Ground for Africa’s Marginalized Ethnic Groups: Across the African continent, ethnic diversity is both a source of cultural richness and, at times, a trigger for conflict and marginalization. Groups like the Burji, Fulani, Tutsi, Oromo, Toubou, and Gorane represent distinct communities with unique histories, languages, and cultures. However, none of these groups are ethnically Somali, nor do they reside in Somalia. Yet, there appears to be a troubling narrative emerging, one that falsely associates these groups with Somali identity, seemingly to offload them onto Somalia as a supposed solution to their marginalization elsewhere. This narrative is not only misleading but also dangerous, as it risks exacerbating tensions in an already complex region. The Burji, often considered a subgroup with ties to the Oromo, primarily reside in southern Ethiopia and parts of Kenya. Claims that they are Somalis is baseless and appears to exploit their marginal status in Kenya and Ethiopia to reframe them as outsiders. The Fulani, a widely dispersed ethnic group across West and Central Africa, are known for their nomadic pastoralist lifestyle. In Sudan, Fulani have been associated with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group embroiled in the ongoing civil war. However, linking them to Somalia is an evil idea to push them towards Somalia after their failed in capturing Sudan. The Tutsi, historically prominent in Rwanda and Burundi, have faced persecution, during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. In Congo, Tutsi communities have been caught in the crosshairs of regional conflicts, particularly with groups like the M23 rebels. Any attempt to tie them to Somalia ignores their deep rooted history in the Great Lakes region and the geopolitical realities of their struggles. The Oromo, Ethiopia’s largest ethnic group in Ethiopia has nothing to do with Somalis & they have been involved in conflicts with all of their neighbours including five civil wars led by the Oromo in Ethiopia & today they are planning to invade Eritrea. The Toubou and Gorane, primarily found in Chad, Libya, and parts of Sudan, are nomadic groups with a strong presence in the Sahara and Sahel regions. Like the Fulani, some Toubou have been linked to Sudan’s RSF, but recently people are pushing them to Somalia & Somali ethnicity. Somalia, already grappling with its own challenges and problems including the ongoing civil war and Al-Shabaab terrorism, cannot and should not be treated as a dumping ground for Africa’s marginalized or displaced communities. Each of these ethnic groups deserves recognition and resolution within their respective countries, through dialogue, inclusion, and respect for their distinct identities. Misrepresenting their struggles or displacing them to Somalia only perpetuates division and undermines efforts for peace and stability across the continent.

🎙️Minister Olivier J.P. Nduhungirehe speaking to the UN Security Council on terrorism in Africa: “Closer to Rwanda, the Great Lakes region continues to face the threat of terrorism, particularly from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), operating in Eastern DRC. The ADF, identified as one of the groups responsible for the most egregious human rights violations in the DRC, has claimed the lives of over 650 civilians since June 2024, including more than 200 in the Beni region alone. Despite this clear and present danger, it is appalling to see that the Government of the DRC has chosen to divert attention from this real terrorist threat by labelling another movement, the M23 - which is a group fighting to protect a persecuted Congolese community - as a terrorist organization. (…) This brings us to an important question: who has the legitimacy to define terrorism, and which groups should be designated as terrorist organizations in Eastern DRC? Can a UN Member State allow itself the right to abuse this notion of terrorism for political and diplomatic gains? Including vis-a-vis the UN Security Council?” To read more:

I thank each of our combat brigades, all soldiers, and commanders who are using all their strength to destroy the enemy, especially by effectively deploying our drone capabilities. Our Ukrainian Defense and Security Forces are already gaining an advantage in this area – in July, our soldiers deployed more drones than the occupiers. This needs to be a steady trend on the front – across all types of drones available to our units: from FPV to all others, including our long-range drones – which are already having a strategic impact on the war. Impacting – in the interests of Ukraine. And our Ukrainian leadership in drones can not only be a factor that brings a just end to the war closer but also makes Ukraine a supplier of security for other states. Today, Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister for Innovations, Development of Education, Science and Technologies, and Oleksandr Kamyshin, Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, also reported at the Staff meeting on drone production and financing. For this year, a million drones have already been contracted with our manufacturers, and by the end of the year, there will be more. Our drone production capabilities are consistently expanding. We're working not only with state funding but also with partners who are investing in our drone manufacturing. These drones are crucial for our defense now and will later enhance security for everyone who values life and stands with us in solidarity.
