Houthis Claim Drone Strikes on Saudi Airport and Aramco Site
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militia said Thursday that it carried out two drone attacks targeting sites in southern Saudi Arabia.
Military spokesman Yahya Saree stated that the group “successfully carried out two military operations using drones.” The first struck what the Houthis described as a sensitive target at Najran Airport, while the second hit an Aramco facility in the Najran region near the Yemeni border.
There was no immediate confirmation or comment from Saudi authorities. The Houthis provided no details on casualties or damage.
The claims come amid renewed hostilities between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. Fighting intensified after the group upended a 2022 truce earlier this year, with the rebels launching a series of attacks on Saudi airports, oil infrastructure, and shipping. Earlier on Thursday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that Saudi Arabia would be “unable to contain” the Houthis.
Najran lies close to the Yemeni border and has been targeted in previous Houthi operations. The latest claims form part of an ongoing escalation that has raised concerns over regional stability and energy security.
Over 100 Dead in Artisanal Gold Mine Collapse Near Cameroon-CAR Border
More than 100 people have been killed after multiple underground tunnels collapsed at an informal gold mining site in Zamboye, in western Central African Republic near the Cameroon border.
The disaster struck Tuesday afternoon at the artisanal mine, where hundreds of workers, many from both Cameroon and the Central African Republic were operating. Local officials and aid workers reported that the collapse of several tunnels triggered the landslide.
A local prosecutor identified the failure of the underground tunnels as the probable cause. Rescue teams have so far recovered more than 100 bodies, with the death toll expected to climb as search operations continue.
The Biafra Story: Forsyth’s Account Of A Forgotten War
https://t.co/dnlSDbfac6
In the shadow of blood and betrayal, a nation teeters on the edge of fracture.
Episode 1 left us in the wreckage of 1966: coups, counter-coups, and the anti-Eastern massacres that drove hundreds of thousands of refugees home in terror. The federation was already cracked. Trust was gone. Survival itself hung in the balance.
Now, in The Road to Separation, Frederick Forsyth’s partisan 1969 account takes us into the desperate months that followed. He shows a people who no longer believed any government outside their region would protect them. Ojukwu still searched for a political lifeline. That search led to Aburi, Ghana, in January 1967 a tense summit where military leaders sat face-to-face and, for a brief moment, seemed to agree on a looser, safer arrangement. Regional autonomy. Consensus on major decisions. Space to breathe. A last chance to hold the country together without more killing.
But the ink was barely dry before the understanding began to unravel. Different readings of the same words. Pressure from advisers. A decree that, from the Eastern view, rewrote the deal. Tapes released. Revenues seized. Meetings boycotted. The gulf widened by the day.
Then came the final provocations of May 1967: a unanimous Eastern mandate for independence, followed almost immediately by Gowon’s emergency powers and the carving of the East into three new states. On 30 May the Republic of Biafra was proclaimed not, Forsyth insists, as an act of aggression, but as a defensive necessity after massacres, broken promises, and the redrawing of the map without consent.
Later historians would weigh miscalculations and rigid positions on both sides. Forsyth’s book, written from inside Biafra, offers the perspective: the East felt it had been chased out of Nigeria.
And this is only the beginning.
What kind of men stood on opposite sides of this chasm? How did their backgrounds, temperaments, and private calculations shape the catastrophe that was about to unfold? In the episodes ahead Family Writers Press International will examine the contrasting portraits of Ojukwu and Gowon, the slide from political rupture into open war, the international forces that chose sides, the blockade that turned hunger into a weapon, and the long, grinding struggle that would cost hundreds of thousands of lives. The road to secession was only the first stretch of a far darker journey. The true test of survival and the full weight of what both sides had set in motion still lies ahead. This is just Episode one of 6

The list Why IPOB will always frown at Nigerians Electoral Process:
1. The institutionalization and outright legalization of certificate forgery
2. The deliberate, systematic disenfranchisement of Eastern region and Christian voters to violently tilt the democratic scale.
3. State sponsored terror, weaponization of political thuggery and state-backed militants to hijack the democratic process through fear.
4. Muslim -Muslim ticket which is a religious tyranny and their relentless intimidation, erasure, and absolute trampling of the fundamental rights of non-Muslim citizens.

Iran’s oil exports have practically stopped, Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati said in a televised interview.
Speaking on Iranian state television on August 19, 2026, Hemmati stated that under current conditions the country’s crude oil exports have effectively halted. He noted that revenues for other regional producers, including Iraq and Qatar, have similarly fallen to zero, adding: “The same has happened to us and it is a reality that we are not exporting oil.”
Hemmati said the government and Central Bank had anticipated the situation and taken preparatory measures. He assured that Iran still holds foreign exchange reserves and that supplies of essential goods and medicines remain secure, with no immediate shortages in the market. He also reported writing to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to convey that message.
The governor highlighted additional constraints, including U.S. freezing of Iranian foreign currency reserves and the non-release of funds expected under a prior understanding with Washington. The remarks come amid heightened economic pressures linked to sanctions, regional disruptions, and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Oil has long been a critical source of foreign currency for Iran; the near complete halt marks a significant development for the country’s economy.

Hui Ka Yan, Founder of China Evergrande, Sentenced to Life in Prison
A Shenzhen court on Friday sentenced Hui Ka Yan, the founder of China Evergrande Group and once Asia’s richest man, to life imprisonment. The court also ordered the confiscation of all his personal assets.
Hui pleaded guilty in April to multiple charges, including fraud, embezzlement, and corporate bribery. The ruling marks a major development in the fallout from Evergrande’s collapse.
Evergrande Group was fined 8.82 billion yuan (approximately $1.31 billion), while its main subsidiary received an additional fine of 7 billion yuan. Other executives, including Hui’s sons, were also handed prison terms.
The sentence follows Evergrande’s 2021 default on more than $300 billion in liabilities, an event that contributed significantly to China’s prolonged property-sector crisis.
