DEVASTATING LANDSLIDE IN DARFUR CLAIMS OVER 1,000 LIVES

DEVASTATING LANDSLIDE IN DARFUR CLAIMS OVER 1,000 LIVES

Sudan is facing yet another tragic chapter as a devastating landslide in Darfur’s Marrah Mountains has wiped out the village of Tarasin, leaving more than 1,000 people dead. Triggered by torrential rainfall, the landslide leveled the community, sparing only one survivor. The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) confirmed the catastrophic loss and urgently appealed to the United Nations and international humanitarian agencies for immediate assistance in recovery and relief efforts.

This disaster comes against the backdrop of a worsening humanitarian crisis across Sudan. In North Darfur’s capital, El Fasher, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have intensified their siege, cutting off vital supplies and leaving thousands of civilians on the brink of starvation. Meanwhile, in South Darfur, an attack on a hospital during the RSF leader’s swearing-in ceremony killed dozens, further straining the already fragile health system.

The United Nations has raised alarms over the scale of the crisis, warning that nearly two-thirds of Sudan’s 50 million people now require urgent humanitarian aid. Ongoing conflict, mass displacement, food insecurity, and the collapse of healthcare services have left millions vulnerable, with limited access to relief due to active hostilities.

The combined impact of natural disaster and man-made conflict paints a dire picture for Sudan’s future. As the people of Darfur mourn their dead and fight for survival, the international community is being called upon to act swiftly. Without coordinated intervention, the country risks sliding deeper into famine, instability, and unimaginable human suffering.

POLITICAL STORM IN MADAGASCAR: PRESIDENT RAJOELINA DISSOLVES PARLIAMENT AMID RISING MILITARY TENSIONS

ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR – OCTOBER 14, 2025. Madagascar has been plunged into deep political and military turmoil as President Andry Rajoelina dissolved the lower house of parliament following a series of dramatic events that have shaken the island nation. The move comes amid mounting protests, divisions within the armed forces, and reports that the President fled the country fearing for his life. The latest developments began when tensions escalated between Rajoelina’s government and sections of the military aligned with opposition figures. According to local sources, the elite military unit known as CAPSAT (Personnel and Administrative Services Corps of the Army) defected from government control and sided with anti-government demonstrators in the capital, Antananarivo. These soldiers reportedly occupied strategic locations, declaring that they were intervening to “restore order and democracy.” Facing growing unrest and loss of control over key state institutio...

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST In a move that has sparked widespread debate across the United States, President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. The decision, according to the White House, comes in response to a series of violent protests, vandalism, and reported lawlessness that have gripped parts of the city in recent weeks. Administration officials say the deployment is aimed at restoring peace and protecting federal buildings, businesses, and citizens, but critics argue it marks another instance of federal overreach and political showmanship. The announcement was made late Saturday following a high-level security briefing at the White House. In his statement, Trump emphasized that the federal government “would not sit idly by while chaos and violence undermine public safety.” The president pointed to reports of shootings, looting, and clashes between demonstrators and police as justification ...
