A photo went viral of a Palestinian boy hiding from Israeli forces on his way home from class in the occupied West Bank. When soldiers discovered him they beat him. Now he says he’s afraid to return to school.

This Mi-17 helicopter at CIA Headquarters brought the first Americans into Afghanistan just 15 days after the 9/11 attacks. On the 25th anniversary of its historic mission, CIA restored the aircraft to its 2001 paint scheme.

As the Dangote Refinery project plans to generate power as part of its industrial operations, investments are expected to stream in Lamu and along the #LAPSSETCorridor. The ripple effect? Greater industrial activity, expanded trade and stronger economic linkages from the region to the continent.

Bank of Kigali, Rwanda’s largest commercial bank, just became the first Rwandan lender to join China’s Cross-border Interbank Payment System (CIPS). With the move, the bank can settle transactions directly in yuan, reducing reliance on the US dollar for trade with China. OVER 67 African banks spanning 38 countries have joined the CIPS network through varying levels of participation.
CIPS completes cross-border yuan settlements in 300 milliseconds to 10 seconds, vastly outperforming SWIFT's 1 to 5 business days. Furthermore, its direct real-time clearing bypasses intermediate dollar conversions, cutting transaction costs by 95% to 98%.

Kenyan mountaineers Swabra Swaleh Breik Swabra Swaleh Breik and Daniel Moenga Daniel Moenga are among hundreds of climbers from around the world attempting Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m) during Nepal’s ongoing Autumn 2026 climbing season.

The two Kenyans have successfully completed their acclimatization rotation on the world’s eighth-highest mountain and are now preparing for their final summit push. For now, however, heavy snowfall has halted summit attempts on Manaslu, forcing climbers to wait for improved weather and safer conditions before moving higher.

[ابراهيم ناجي Ibrahim Naji @Ibrahym22Nagi]

Calling us Houthis is like calling the Iranian people Khomeinis. Wouldn't it be better to call us Yemenis instead of Houthis?

I wish that were the case, because "Houthi" is the title of the leader of the Yemeni revolution, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, while the entire population participated in the September 21, 2014 revolution. Therefore, you should call us by our true name: Yemenis or Ansar Allah (Supporters of God).

The name "Houthis" is used by our enemies to belittle us and deny our existence as a state, government, people, and army. Therefore, I hope you will not call us by the name our enemies use for us.
