My question is: if the threat was serious enough for the President to abandon the original plane, why was it considered safe enough for everyone else to fly home on it? 🤷🏻♂️
Arteta has shown he’s a fighter and a top-class manager.
Keep your heads up, Gunners. Never give up. Next season is another chance to go again. Respect. ⚽🔴
Today, with great humility and sincere appreciation, I shared the below letter with President Trump. It has been a profound honor to serve the American people as DNI.
I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half.
Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.
China built a $20 billion oil refinery in Nigeria, and Europe is furious.
Nigeria, one of Africa's largest oil producers, had no refinery. For decades, it exported crude and imported gasoline at markup. China's Dangote Oil Refinery in Lagos changed that. Now Nigeria is exporting refined gasoline instead of just raw crude.
The refinery is operating at 94% of its 650,000-barrel-per-day capacity, meeting domestic demand with surplus shipped abroad. In March, Nigeria exported approximately 44,000 barrels of gasoline per day. A single shipment of 317,000 barrels reached Mozambique—the first delivery to East Africa.
Production is projected to reach 1.4 million barrels per day within three years, making it Africa's largest refinery.
For decades, Western oil majors kept Nigeria dependent while extracting crude, refining it abroad, and selling it back at a premium. China built the infrastructure Europe refused to. Now Nigeria controls its own energy supply chain, and European refiners are losing a captive market.
This is what economic sovereignty looks like. This shouldn’t surprise any of our subs, we covered this story back in November on DD Geopolitics.
When it comes to diplomacy, give it to England 🇬🇧
King Charles III’s speech shows how less noise can still hit hard… unlike the bold style of Donald Trump.
In an address to students on Monday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the U.S. has “no strategy” with Iran and the "entire nation is being humiliated" by Iranian leadership. https://t.co/hCA0VHs2NA
One African leader is proudly talking about speaking “the best English,” while many developing countries are pushing forward in technology, innovation, and education.
Africa, which way?
Canada and its international partners welcome the two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran. The priority must now be to negotiate lasting peace through diplomacy, protecting civilians in Iran, and ensuring security in the region. https://t.co/IhyQSUXCzA
Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. https://t.co/s6Jy00IDdk
With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!
