The temporary four-day truce agreed upon last week by Israel and Hamas and then extended for 48 hours, afforded a desperately-needed respite from the bombing in Gaza, together with the release of some of the hostages against that of Palestinian women and children held in Israeli prisons and, most importantly, the delivery of humanitarian aid, food and fuel to the […]

Egypt, together with Qatar and the United States, brokered the current agreement on the four-day truce in Gaza, according to Egyptian President El Sisi, who hopes it will be extended to a permanent ceasefire.

The United Nations Security Council held a three-hour special session on Nov. 20 on the theme “Promote Sustaining Peace through Common Development”. It was convened by China, as the most important event of the rotating presidency it holds in November.

The latest budget passed by the Congress has not allocated any new funds to the war effort, due to the opposition to funding a losing propsition and also to fears in the White House as the next presidential election draws […]

With over 200 million people, Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa and the only one in West-Central Africa able to deploy an Army in the true sense of the term.

The Transaqua project had gained renewed momentum in 2018, when it was endorsed by all member countries of the Lake Chad Basin Committee, at an international conference in Abuja organized by the Buhari government. On that occasion, the Italian government had committed to co-finance the feasibility study, but the process got bogged down due to political changes and foreign interference. […]

A Nov. 5 article titled “Israel Minister Suspended after Calling Nuking Gaza an Option” in Politico reported that “Israel’s Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu was suspended indefinitely after he said in an interview that dropping a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip was ‘one of the possibilities,’ the government announced on Sunday”, Nov. 5.
