Europe’s Message Is Clear: Tolerance Cannot Be a Cover for Extremism

  Today’s demonstrations across Berlin, London, and Paris sent a message louder than any political statement: Europeans are no longer willing to watch their societies drift toward instability under the banner of “tolerance.” The crowds that filled the streets were not driven by hatred or exclusion — they were driven by a simple demand that every government should take seriously: security first. For years, extremist networks — especially the Muslim Brotherhood — have learned how to operate behind the shield of religious discourse. They present themselves as community leaders, activists, or “voices of the marginalized,” all while pushing agendas that undermine national cohesion, exploit public freedoms, and create parallel societies. Europe’s mistake was assuming these groups were harmless. But as today’s protests showed, citizens have learned the truth the hard way. They’ve watched radical narratives spread in schools and community centers, foreign-funded networks penetrate local ...

Somali President and Eritrean Counterpart Inspector Training Camps for Somali Navy and Air Force Cadets

On Monday, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and his Eritrean counterpart, Isaias Afwerki, visited the training facilities in Eritrea that Somali Navy and Air Force cadets use.

This visit comes at a time when Somalia is ramping up its military operations against the al-Shabab terrorist group. Eritrea has been a key ally in this fight, providing training and support to Somali forces.

During their visit, the two presidents met with army officers and discussed the security relationship between the two countries. President Mohamud expressed his gratitude for Eritrea's support in the fight against terrorism.

However, the two presidents did not disclose any specific details about when the cadets would return to Somalia to participate in military operations.

According to a military source, Somali soldiers who have received training in Eritrea are currently contributing significantly to ongoing military operations in the central regions of Somalia.

Over the past two months, military offensives in Galmudug and Hirshabelle states in central Somalia have resulted in the deaths of 1,650 al-Shabab terrorists and the injuries of more than 550 others.

In 2019, the first contingent of these soldiers, numbering 5,000 in total, was secretly dispatched to Eritrea for training. Many Somalis were concerned that some of their country's military could be deployed in the Tigray conflict in Ethiopia. The parents of the troops also called for their return home.

However, there is no evidence that Somali soldiers have ever been stationed in Tigray.

Imane Khelif Triumphs Amidst Controversy at Paris Olympics

Imane Khelif of Algeria clinched her first victory at the Paris Olympics on Thursday, overcoming Italy’s Angela Carini in a dramatic women's welterweight boxing match. Carini quit just 46 seconds into the match, citing severe pain in her nose and leaving the ring in tears, which sparked a wave of reactions and controversies. Khelif’s participation in the Olympic event has drawn significant attention due to past allegations regarding her gender eligibility. Reports resurfaced that both Khelif and Lin Yu‑ting of Taiwan were disqualified from the Women’s World Boxing Championships in New Delhi last year due to failing an unspecified gender test. Officials claimed the athletes did not meet the eligibility criteria because they allegedly had male chromosomes. Despite these allegations, Khelif has consistently competed as a woman, including at the Tokyo Olympics. There has been no indication that she identifies as transgender or intersex. Following her victory, Khelif celebrated on socia...

WFP's Carl Skau Stresses Critical Humanitarian Aid Needs in Somalia After Major Climate Disasters

Carl Skau, the Deputy Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), has underscored the pressing need for sustained humanitarian assistance in Somalia after a recent visit highlighted severe food insecurity and ongoing climate challenges. Devastating Impact in Baidoa During his mission, Skau visited Baidoa, an area hard-hit by extreme climate events. The region faced a prolonged drought from 2020 to 2023, followed by severe flooding in November 2023. These floods, among the worst in decades, affected two million people and displaced 750,000. "Families in Baidoa are struggling due to relentless climate shocks and conflict, which have forced them from their homes and left them without essential needs like nutritious food and education," Skau stated. "The resilience shown by the Somali people is incredible. It’s crucial that the government, the UN, and partners prioritize support for the most vulnerable and ensure timely aid delivery." Humanitarian Efforts and ...
