The Sudanese army has retaken Bara, a strategic town in North Kordofan state that had been held by the Rapid Support Forces since July.
But the victory has come at a devastating cost: homes and public buildings destroyed, a hospital in ruins, and thousands still displaced.
Bolivia’s lithium is at the center of a new geopolitical scramble.
After stealing Venezuela’s oil, the US moves to take over Bolivia’s vast mineral wealth. @Rodrigo_PazP is opening the mining sector to US corporate interests while Indigenous communities are shut out of key decisions over their land.

#URGENT APPEAL FOR MY 6-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER, #KAREN
Karen is a 6-month-old Palestinian baby girl currently in Egypt. She has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1, a life-threatening genetic condition that requires immediate treatment.
Her doctors have recommended treatment with Evrysdi , Spinraza, or Zolgensma. Unfortunately, these treatments are not accessible to us, and the cost is far beyond what we can afford.
Karen’s condition is extremely urgent, and every day matters. The earlier she receives treatment, the greater the chance of preserving her strength and giving her the best possible opportunity for a better outcome. We are running out of time and desperately need help.
We are urgently seeking a transfer to a specialized hospital abroad so that Karen can receive the care she desperately needs as soon as possible.
I have all medical reports and necessary documentation available and can provide them to any hospital willing to help.
If you are a hospital, doctor, medical organization, humanitarian group, or charity that may be able to help, please contact us.
WhatsApp: +972592643469
Please share Karen’s story widely.
Every share could reach someone who can help save her life. 💙

My piece on the Colombian mercenaries - and their paymasters in the Emirates - is out as the cover story of the Financial Times magazine today. It's the culmination of months of interviews and data tracking with @just1nlynch https://t.co/DRslTYCOws
More proof Sudan is NOT a civil war. The UAE is funding & arming the RSF, training foreign fighters on Emirati soil & bringing thousands of mercenaries from across the world to kill Sudanese people. Our country is being destroyed all to serve the UAE’s war on our country
The Colombian earthquake struck the country’s poorest – and most Afro-Colombian – department. Survivors in remote Chocó have suffered from decades of govt neglect and are still waiting for help.
Today's quick update [Aug 14]:
- RSF attack on the town of Um Arda, North Kordofan; at least 18 civilians reported killed.
- Clashes between SAF & RSF in Um Arda & Jebel Alhashaba, N. Kordofan; ground battles reportedly getting closer to state capital ElObeid.
