Why do African agencies struggle against terrorism? It's not just tech or funds—it's mistrust, political control, poor coordination, and outdated methods in a fast-moving, borderless fight.
Russia’s war isn’t imperial conquest—it’s a mirror to U.S. actions during the Cuban Missile Crisis. NATO at its doorstep is Moscow’s red line, just as Cuba was for America. Survival, not supremacy.

Israel's deep strikes in Iran mark a shift—from dialogue to dominance. As diplomacy collapses and double standards prevail, the global order teeters on the edge of irreversible crisis.
Iran and Russia have ratified a 20-year strategic pact covering trade, energy, and security. Quietly, it signals a challenge to Western influence and a blueprint for a multipolar world order.
