🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!
We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
@waluwande Events are lining up beautifully for Aliko Dangote. One time he was being fought at home to now becoming a regional and cross continental energy stabilizer
.@SecRubio: "We remain the world’s sole global superpower—the most powerful country on earth. We have the largest economy, we have the most formidable and powerful military ever known to man, by the way. Our dollar remains that reserve currency of the world. Our language is used extensively throughout the world... but all of this means very little if that power is not used to protect the people who built it."
Today, the United States is taking further action to address threats to stability and prosperity in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo by sanctioning senior commanders of two armed groups the United States previously designated, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda and the Rwanda-backed March 23 Movement.
The Trump Administration is firmly committed to ensuring all parties uphold their commitments under the historic Washington Accords for Peace and Prosperity and Doha Framework and will continue using all available tools to advance lasting stability in the region.
The United States has approved an additional $80 million for the Ebola outbreak response. This will help procure and deliver additional PPE for healthcare workers in high-risk areas; enhance border screenings and surveillance at key points of entry; expand contact tracing to identify and diagnose individuals as early as possible; and procure diagnostic supplies including test kits.
I had a good phone call with @POTUS Donald Trump on his way back from China. We agree: Iran must come to the negotiating table now. It must open the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran must not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. (1/2)
Treasury plans to introduce 16% VAT on payment platforms like M-Pesa, Airtel Money and Pesapal in the Finance Bill 2026.
While Treasury says the tax targets platform providers, experts warn the cost could still be passed to users through higher transaction fees.
World Bank told Nigeria to reopen fuel imports because Dangote’s fuel was 12% more expensive than imports. Dangote called it flawed. World Bank quietly deleted the whole report from their website.
Meanwhile Europe is buying refined fuel from the same Dangote refinery because Middle East supply got disrupted. The same Europe that used to sell Nigeria its own crude back as petrol. You can’t make this up.
An African refinery finally works at scale and the first recommendation is not invest more, not expand capacity. It’s bring back imports.
When Africa consumes nobody says a word. When Africa refines and competes suddenly it’s a problem.
The sovereignty of our hemisphere is non-negotiable. We are deeply concerned by China’s targeted economic pressure after the Balboa & Cristóbal terminals decision. We stand in solidarity with Panama. Any attempts to undermine Panama’s sovereignty are a threat to us all. https://t.co/x6FKYasGpZ
