This City’s Capture Could Change Everything in Sudan’s War

Sudan's military forces have secured control of Wad Madani, a strategically significant city in eastern Sudan, marking a substantial advancement in their ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Video evidence on social media platforms documented residents celebrating as military personnel entered the city. RSF commander General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti) confirmed their withdrawal from the area through an audio statement, citing the military's aerial advantage and deployment of Iranian drones as decisive factors. Despite this setback, he expressed determination to continue the conflict "for up to 20 years if necessary." Wad Madani, located 140 kilometers south of Khartoum and serving as Al Jazira state's capital, is a crucial transportation hub connecting multiple states through major highways. The city's proximity to Khartoum enhances its strategic importance. The conflict, which began in April 2023, has resulted in a divided control […]

Nigeria’s Museum Chief Calls for Indigenous Language Integration and Cultural Preservation

The National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) Director-General Olugbile Holloway has proposed incorporating indigenous languages and cultural contexts into Nigerian museums to enhance their relevance and accessibility. During an ARISE NEWS interview, Holloway emphasized the importance of presenting museum narratives in local languages alongside English. He explained that certain artifacts' spiritual and cultural significance cannot be fully conveyed in English alone, necessitating the use of indigenous languages for accurate representation. Discussing the 1897 Benin punitive expedition, Holloway described it as a significant colonial looting event that disrupted the Benin Kingdom's social and cultural foundation. He noted the ongoing impact of this historical event, citing how Nigerians question the presence of their cultural artifacts in foreign museums. Regarding the repatriation of Benin Bronzes, Holloway outlined the NCMM's plans. A new facility in Benin, scheduled for completion in Q1, will temporarily […]

UK’s Borrowing Costs Soar to 16-Year High as Chancellor Jets Off to China!

Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces crucial financial decisions as UK borrowing costs reach their highest level in 16 years, according to former Bank of England deputy governor Sir John Gieve. Reeves, who committed to not borrowing for day-to-day spending and reducing debt relative to national income, must now navigate between increasing borrowing, raising taxes, or reducing public spending. The UK's 10-year borrowing costs have climbed to levels not seen since 2008, while the pound has dropped below $1.22 against the dollar. Unlike typical scenarios where higher borrowing costs strengthen the pound, analysts suggest broader concerns about the UK economy affect sterling's value. The Treasury has maintained that markets continue to operate normally, ruling out emergency intervention. The global rise in government borrowing costs stems from investor concerns about U.S. economic policies and inflation risks. Sir John Gieve noted that UK yields […]

Legal Dispute Unfolds Between General Hydrocarbons Limited and First Bank of Nigeria

General Hydrocarbons Limited (GHL), the operator of OML 120 in Deep Offshore Nigeria, has addressed its ongoing legal dispute with First Bank of Nigeria Limited (FBN), highlighting their complex business relationship.

Proposed Federal Rule Could Dramatically Reduce Nicotine in Cigarettes

The Biden administration is preparing to propose new regulations limiting nicotine levels in cigarettes, expected to be announced as early as Monday. This initiative comes after the administration's previous commitment to ban menthol cigarettes remained unfulfilled. The proposed regulation would focus specifically on traditional cigarettes, excluding other tobacco products such as e-cigarettes and nicotine replacement therapies. While specific nicotine reduction targets haven't been disclosed, research indicates levels may need to be reduced by approximately 95% to minimize addiction potential. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identify cigarette smoking as the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, resulting in over 480,000 deaths annually. Research from a 2018 FDA study projects that implementing a nicotine cap could prevent 16 million people from developing smoking addiction by 2060, potentially reaching 33.1 million by 2100. The initiative's origins trace back […]

Chelsea Star Mudryk Faces Possible Four-Year Ban as Career Hangs in Balance

Chelsea footballer Mykhailo Mudryk could face a four-year ban from the sport as he awaits his B sample drug test results this month, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. The 24-year-old Ukrainian winger has been absent from the team since November's Conference League match against Heidenheim, following a failed drug test. The situation represents another setback for Mudryk, who has struggled to live up to expectations since his ยฃ62.5 million transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023. While he's shown flashes of talent, he hasn't been able to perform consistently for Chelsea. Currently barred from the club's Cobham training facility, he was recently spotted in Saudi Arabia watching the Fury-Usyk boxing match, which manager Enzo Maresca suggested might help take his mind off his troubles. Chelsea continues to support Mudryk through this crisis, but the club may need to consider alternatives […]

Steel Giant’s CEO Makes Desperate Appeal to Trump After Biden’s $15B Deal Rejection

The $15 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel by Japan's Nippon Steel has hit a significant roadblock after President Biden blocked the deal, citing national security concerns. Following the decision, both companies have initiated legal action against the administration.
