#Pakistan's mediation was supposed to be a way for Islamabad to prove it could befriend both #Iran and the GCC states.

Instead, the war's resurgence has turned that achievement into a liability.

#Pakistan has asked for a Bilateral Exchange Stabilization Support Facility worth $10 bn.

The facility, which would be routed via Treasury's Exchange Stabilization Fund, would bolster reserves, ease pressure on the rupee+ reduce reliance on IMF financing.

MBS has vowed he would build nuclear weapons if #Iran does so.

The agreement requires congressional review+ lawmakers from both parties have expressed opposition.

But passing a veto-proof resolution to block Trump's initiative is unlikely.

#KSA Minister of Media+#UAE National Media Authority Chairman posted nearly identical messages on X at the same time, emphasising "shared history" and "brotherly ties."

Both posts called on media to reflect those aspects and avoid undermining them.

أكد الأمير فيصل بن فرحان، وزير الخارجية السعودي، أن تحقيق الأمن والاستقرار الدائمين في المنطقة لا يمكن أن يحدث عبر القوة العسكرية، وإنما من خلال حلول دبلوماسية مستدامة تعالج جذور الأزمات.

Hizbullah is still better equipped than LAF. Though defence spending has more than tripled since 2021, most of the budget goes to wages, not weapons. Some officers are thought to be sympathetic to Hizbullah.

The Ministry of Energy cited surging electricity demand driven by high temps, the return of residents to several areas, a halt in imports from #Ethiopia + rising consumption in the agricultural+industrial sectors as reasons for 18+ hour outages.

شهد المشهد السياسي السوداني حراكاً بعد جمود، مع عقد أول ندوة مشتركة بين حزبي الأمة والاتحادي الديمقراطي في #الخرطوم منذ اندلاع الحرب، بينما تختتم قوى "إعلان المبادئ السوداني" مؤتمراً في نيروبي، في مشهد يعكس انقسامات النخبة السياسية.

حولت جامعة الجنينة السودانية، التي دمرتها قوات الدعم السريع بالكامل، منفاها في مدينة أدري التشادية إلى قاعات علم، واستأنفت امتحاناتها وخرجت دفعات جديدة من طلابها النازحين، في مشهد يجسد صمود التعليم رغم ويلات الحرب.

يرى الأستاذ الجامعي إبراهيم الصديق أن كثرة الأحزاب مفسدة في الحياة السياسية، ومؤشر على غياب التوافق على القضايا الوطنية، وتحول السياسة من خدمة الوطن إلى أجندة شخصية، مما يؤدي إلى صعوبة تشكيل حكومة متوافق عليها.

يوضح وزير العدل السابق محمد أحمد سالم أن نظام الرئيس السابق عمر البشير كان يشجع تسجيل الأحزاب لتجنب اتهامه باحتكار الحياة السياسية، مما أتاح تسجيل عشرات التنظيمات. حالياً، تم تحديث بيانات 31 حزباً فقط من أصل 109.

The US was UNHCR's top donor in 2025, giving $868 million, about a quarter of total contributions.

A full US withdrawal would seriously weaken the agency at a time of near-record levels of displacement, diplomats said.

Amb. Dahab argues that the OPCW is the body responsible for examining such allegations, not the US or other actors acting unilaterally.

There is a long history of unsubstantiated allegations v. #Sudan that have been used to justify intervention/sanctions.

#Ethiopia is pioneering the world's most progressive refugee policy while hosting the RSF, the very force driving refugees from #Sudan across its border.

Mamdani's stance reflects a broader shift within the Democratic Party.

Close to half of US House Democrats voted last week to strip $3.3 billion in military aid to #Israel.

Mamdani said the ongoing war in #Gaza is motivating voters across the country.

King Hassan II (1961-1999) repeatedly positioned the Moroccan diaspora as Moroccans first, arguing that leaving #Morocco does not make someone less Moroccan.

He predicted Europeans would never fully accept African immigrants regardless of assimilation.

#Israel has killed more than 1,000 in #Gaza since the "ceasefire" began+ has expanded its occupation from 53% to 60% of Gaza.

Israeli ministers openly speak of making life in Gaza so miserable that residents will leave—another violation of the Trump plan.
