Burkina Faso authorities have dismantled a "major plot" aimed at "sowing total chaos" and placing the country under the tutelage of an international organization.

The plan was uncovered by intelligence services and involved an attempted coup d'état and coordinated terrorist attacks to destabilize the current government. In recent days, several high-ranking military officials have been arrested as part of this operation.

Burkina Faso's security minister, Mahamadou Sana, described the plot as a "diabolical project" carried out by "masterminds abroad" aimed at creating chaos and paving the way for international intervention.

According to reports, the plot was being carried out from the Arbijan operations center. In light of these events, the government remains vigilant and pledges to keep the nation informed of any threat to peace.

Sana also called on civilians: “We invite the population to remain calm, be vigilant, and report any suspicious activity.”

The plot was uncovered when int

On behalf of President Aleksandr Lukashenko, more than 20 tonnes of humanitarian aid – worth over Br740,000 – has been sent to the island to help overcome the consequences of the devastating hurricanes and earthquakes that hit Cuba last autumn. The aid includes food products from the Emergencies Ministry’s Department for Material Reserve, the enterprises of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, as well as a wide range of medicines provided by the Healthcare Ministry’s enterprises.

The loading of the humanitarian cargo took place on the premises of the Republican Special Response Team ZUBR under the co-ordination of Belarus’ Emergencies Ministry. The cargo is planned to be delivered by road to the city of Novorossiysk (Russia), from where the aid will be sent to the seaport of Mariel (Cuba).

In October-November 2024, hurricanes Oscar and Rafael hit the island. A 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck the eastern part of the country.

DANIEL NOBOA— son of Ecuador’s richest man and a political ally of Donald Trump — has been declared the country’s president again following last week’s run-off election. But Luisa Gonzalez, candidate of the progressive Citizens’ Revolution, is refusing to recognise the results, demanding a recount and full audit in the face of widespread irregularities.

Such concerns are understandable. In the first round, both candidates received 44 per cent of the vote. Yet in the run-off, Luisa Gonzalez improbably remained on 44 per cent, while Daniel Noboa surged to 56 per cent. This is despite Gonzalez receiving endorsements from the third-place progressive indigenous candidate, from other progressive parties, and from a prominent figure to her right.

Polls in the run-up to the vote, along with exit and post election polls, also indicated a tight race — with Luisa mainly ahead — not a 12 per cent landslide for Noboa.

If Ecuador’s electoral authorities genuinely wanted to ensure confidence in th

Meanwhile China:

Electoral fraud in Ecuador was planned and structured long before the April 13 runoff between candidate Luisa González of the Citizen Revolution movement and the far-right candidate Daniel Noboa of the National Democratic Action party.

Although all polls, including the Corpmontpubli poll endorsed by the National Electoral Council, predicted González's victory, the final count declared Noboa the winner with 55.65% to 44.35% for her opponent—a completely implausible percentage given that even the Pachakuti indigenous movement had offered its support to the progressive candidate.

Among the anomalies González presented regarding the "fraudulent process" were the declaration of a state of emergency just hours before the start of voting in seven provinces where the Citizens' Revolution always wins; the CNE's restriction

Vietnam donated 10,000 tons of rice to Cuba, demonstrating the close and historic ties between the two nations.

The gesture of solidarity was made in compliance with the agreements established during the visit of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, To Lam, to the Caribbean country in September of last year.

During the delivery ceremony, held in the Mariel Special Development Zone, the donation of another 1,500 tons of rice was announced, in the name of Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc.

At the event, Vietnamese Deputy Finance Minister Le Tan Can expressed the country's willingness to continue expanding and strengthening economic, trade, and investment relations with Cuba.

"Vietnam will always stand by Cuba, as it has demonstrated throughout history. This donation is a gesture of gratitude and solidarity with the Cuban people," he emphasized.

For her part, Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade Aracelys Cardoso emphasized the importance of the donation an

Chilling images captured the moment a disheveled suspected gunman was taken into custody outside the CIA headquarters on Wednesday morning after he was seen making threats with a weapon near the agency's base.

The armed man, seen wearing camouflage and sporting long hair and a beard, sent the agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia into lockdown as cops raced to the scene.

It seems that the party was full of feds.

Security forces repressed with gas and rubber bullets retirees, press workers, trade unions and dozens of soccer club supporters in the vicinity of the National Congress.

The gendarmerie advanced on the demonstrators and an elderly woman was wounded in the head while other people tried to assist her, reports the local Argentinean press. According to press sources, the victim is Beatriz Blanco, 87 years old, who was taken to the Argerich Hospital for a head injury.

There are also reports of the presence of infiltrators in the peaceful demonstration. According to newspaper reports, the demonstrators denounced that a group of people with their faces covered tried to enter the protest with stones.

“They have to leave, these people are out of their minds,” said one of the demonstrators to television in the midst of a huge police deployment that included dozens of security personnel in the vicinity of the Parliament.

Retired people, together with supporters of different soccer teams, ar

Syria’s transitional government has reached a deal with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces to integrate the latter into the country’s new armed forces.

The transitional government said in a post on X Monday that an agreement was signed “stipulating the integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces into the institutions of the Syrian Arab Republic and emphasizing the unity of Syrian territory and rejecting division.”

Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa and SDF leader Mazlum Kobane signed the agreement in Damascus.

The government in Damascus, led by Islamist former rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, had been calling on the SDF and other armed groups that formed during the 13-year civil war to integrate under the command of the new Defense Ministry, but an agreement with the Kurdish-led force has been elusive.

The SDF formed in 2015 and is backed by the United States in its fight against the Islamic State. The SDF captured ISIS’ final territory in Syria in 2019 and holds tens

Amid armed clashes and demonstrations of rejection to the Syrian de facto government, opponents created a military council for the liberation of that country from the current authorities and the Zionist occupation, which has taken control of areas in the south and maintains its threats.

In the early morning, while heavy fighting was taking place in areas of the governorates of Latakia (northwest) and Daraa (southwest), it became known of the creation of the referred military council, headed by Brigadier General Qiath Suleiman Dalla, former officer of the former Syrian Arab Army (SAA).

Through a statement(down below), the council clarified that its goal is to “liberate all Syrian territory from all terrorist and occupying forces, overthrow the current regime and dissolve all its repressive institutions.”

It urged Syrians from various sects, regions and ethnicities to “join our ranks and support us in this historic moment.”

The Syrian regime has declared curfews in a number of the country’s regions after mass rallies are held in protest at the regime’s increasing violence against civilians.

The northwestern port city of Tartus and the entire Homs province were put under curfew on Thursday night.

A curfew has also been announced in Latakia until 10:00 a.m. local time on Friday.

The curfews followed mass protests by Alawites and Shia Muslims, who condemned the violent actions of the regime.

They accused Syria’s interim government of prioritizing power over rebuilding the nation.

The Supreme Alawite Islamic Council in Syria released a statement, denouncing the regime’s increasing violence, including aerial bombardments of civilian homes and forced displacement of their residents.

The statement called on Syrians to stage peaceful sit-ins while refraining from damaging property or engaging in sectarian strife.

Heavy clashes have been reported in western Syria between remnants of the Syrian Arab Army and

An American man named Scott Harvey “N”, 41 years old, was arrested when he attempted to bring high caliber weapons into Mexico through the border with the United States.

According to a joint press release, the foreigner attempted to bring an arsenal and ammunition into the country in a vehicle in Tijuana, Baja California through the “El Chaparral” international bridge.

As a result of the strengthening of security and surveillance in that structure, while performing random inspections, security elements had contact with the driver of a vehicle with tinted windows that prevented visibility inside the unit, for which reason they asked him to stop his vehicle to perform an inspection.

During the search, the security forces located three long arms, two short arms, 19 magazines, more than 2,000 useful

Democratic lawmakers and activists are pushing back against Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, accusing the president of a lack of empathy. But there’s nothing compassionate about the policies of his predecessors, who not only lost track of tens of thousands of migrant children, but eased the work of criminals engaged in their systematic abuse.

Independent investigators, whistleblowers and a handful of MAGA lawmakers have spent years detailing the horrific risks underage illegal immigrants face when they come to the US, from forced labor and sexual exploitation to ‘recycling’ by traffickers who match them with strangers to ease adults' entry into the US.

Documented abuse has been rampant, and includes:

• The drugging of toddlers in transit to the border to prevent them from confirming whether the adults accompanying them are relatives.
• Infants as young as two being left alone at the border with pieces of paper with contact information about guardians supposedly already in the
