It is well with Our Land.

Famine has been declared in Gaza’s largest city, Gaza City.

According to the UN rights chief, famine in the Gaza Governorate is the direct result of Israeli actions. He warned that using starvation as a weapon is a war crime and that the resulting deaths could amount to “wilful killing.”

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) confirmed that famine — caused by Israel’s total blockade of aid into Palestine’s Gaza — is already under way in the city that shelters hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, warning it could soon engulf Deir al Balah and Khan Younis before next month is over.

Cameroon’s constitutional court on Friday rejected an attempt to bar veteran President Paul Biya from seeking an eighth term of office and extend his nearly 43 years in power.

Biya, at 92 the world’s oldest president, is running for a new seven-year term in elections on October 12.

His age, his health and capacity to govern have become the subject of debate, given his age.

The attempt to block Biya from running was brought by Akere Muna, from the Universe party, one of 12 candidates contesting the vote.

But court president Clement Atangana dismissed the case “on substance, as it is not justified”, after two hours of legal argument and a closed-door session.

Muna, a lawyer and long-standing anti-corruption campaigner, said he accepted the court’s decision but questions remained unanswered about Biya’s competency.

“President Biya reigns but he doesn’t govern,” he said, with his lawyer and supporters pointing to his dependence on his entourage and wife to fulfill his presidential duties.

Cameroon’s divided opposition is struggling to challenge Biya, who has been accused by rights groups of suppressing political rivals.

In Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 47 Israeli tourists reported that their passports were discarded at the reception desk of their hotel and later found at a waste disposal site.

The travelers voiced concerns that the act may have been deliberate, citing fears about remaining in the country without valid documents. While the hotel maintained that the passports were accidentally thrown away, some visitors questioned the explanation and suggested the documents may have been targeted due to visible Israeli state symbols.

The Israeli embassy in Serbia was asked to intervene following the incident.

The African Union (AU) has backed a campaign to urge governments and organisations to end the use of an outdated 16th Century map.

They say the Mercator map distorts the size of the continent, making it appear smaller than it really.

Instead the AU favours the use of the Equal Earth map that reflects countries’ true sizes.

You haven't explained why it's a needless war...

Also take time to explain why you think Putin is paranoid!

brain54:
Explain what you mean by needless wars...

The wars both are fighting aren't even similar. Stalin's wars were expansion based. Putin's war started as defensive to protect Russia's territory even though the objective of the war may have shifted from the initial plans.

In any case both aren't needless wars, especially Putin's!

Over 220 people have died in northwestern Pakistan in the past 24 hours due to heavy rain and flooding.

A helicopter on a rescue mission in the flood-stricken Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province crashed amid bad weather, killing all five crew members on board.

The National Disaster Management Authority reported that many others are still missing.

Monsoon rains, usually occurring from June to September, frequently bring widespread damage across South Asia, including Pakistan.

In recent years, climate change has made these storms more intense and unpredictable.

Senator representing Sokoto South, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, on Thursday, received a rousing welcome from residents of Sokoto following his recent encounter with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Videos shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle showed cheering crowds lining the streets as the former Sokoto State governor made his way into the city.

Tambuwal, who returned to Sokoto on Thursday to a hero’s welcome from thousands of supporters, addressed the cheering crowd at his residence, pledging to continue the fight for “equitable and democratic governance” in the state.

“I cannot be intimidated or blackmailed. I believe I shall be vindicated, and victory shall be ours,” he declared, drawing loud chants of solidarity from his supporters.
