🇸🇦 Oil tanker Xin Long Yang, carrying Saudi crude from Yanbu, is set to exit through Bab al-Mandeb, a key alternative route to the Strait of Hormuz.
Why it matters:
• Yanbu has become Saudi Arabia’s critical bypass for Asia-bound crude.
• Rerouting via Suez + around Africa adds weeks and massive costs.
• Insurance premiums are spiking. Markets are watching closely.

BREAKING: AfriForum is questioning why South Africa is supporting a slower and more expensive satellite internet option over Starlink.
• AfriForum filed a formal information request seeking details on how BrainSAT and its UAE partner, Space42, were selected.
• The Thuraya-4 service reportedly offers speeds of only up to 1 Mbps, while Starlink averages around 241 Mbps with much lower latency.
• A 10 Mbps YahClick plan costs R2,033 per month with a 150GB soft cap and roughly 720ms latency. Meanwhile, uncapped Starlink plans in neighbouring countries start below R500 per month.
The comparison figures and AfriForum’s formal transparency request are reported by MyBroadband and AfriForum.

🇺🇸🇹🇷Trump arrives at the NATO summit in Ankara still furious with allies who refused to back him against Iran.
He mocked Italy’s Meloni, called UK’s Starmer weak, and brushed off NATO chief Rutte’s flattery. Loyalty, he says, matters more than money.
Allies wouldn’t open bases for U.S. strikes or help secure the Strait of Hormuz. That refusal has hardened Trump’s long-standing NATO skepticism.
The Pentagon has already cut U.S. brigade combat teams in Europe and reduced available jets and warships. A six-month review of American forces is underway.
Trump wants Europe spending 5% of GDP on defense and is still eyeing Greenland. His grudge could speed up a broader U.S. military pullback.

"Our First Lady, Remi Tinubu, was trying to encourage Nigerian youths. We must change our work attitude; everyone must be hardworking like the Chinese. My mother sold akara, and my father was a farmer. But that doesn't necessarily mean that because they used those businesses to train me, I must continue farming at their level."

“South Africa can pay every South African 1million rand every year forever. We don’t even need to work. We can have these illegal immigrants come to South Africa to work for us, like in Dubai. In the UAE, only foreigners are working; Arabs aren’t working.”
