US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on nuclear testing:

“America will ensure that we have the strongest, most capable nuclear arsenal so that we maintain PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.”

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on the strikes against the known narcoterrorists in Caribbean and Eastern Pacific:

“One thing that has been highly misconstrued here is that in some way we don't know who precisely we are striking and why...

We know how to map networks and hunt enemies of our country.”

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on the US policy for Taiwan (Republic of China):

“Our position on Taiwan remains unchanged. President Trump has said that as well.

The conversation (with China’s Minister of National Defense) was constructive. It was candid.”

Tanzania’s opposition says hundreds have been killed in protests over disputed elections after several opposition candidates were barred from running.

The government denies the scale of violence, calling the unrest isolated, while opposition leaders accuse authorities of using deadly force to silence dissent and demand new elections and political reforms.

Tanzania’s electoral commission declared President Samia Suluhu Hassan the winner, receiving 98% of votes, extending her rule for five years.

The result follows days of violent protests over the exclusion of major opposition candidates, with the UN citing at least 10 deaths and the opposition claiming hundreds.

The "Headquarters of Biafran Liberation Forces", the alliance of Biafran separatists operating under the Finland-based Biafran Republic Government in Exile, requests on Trump Administration to support their "Holy defensive war" for the liberation of Igbo Christians in Southeastern Nigeria

Armed Forces of Guinea-Bissau thwarted an military coup in the country, the 2nd in just years, with multiple officers being arrested

The objective was to disrupt the electoral process, according to the deputy chief of staff. General Mamadu Turé did not specify the number of officers detained, nor the actions prepared by these military personnel.

However, the media reports that among those detained is Daba Na Walna, head of the military school in Cumeré, in the north of the country – detained since Wednesday night, "due to his involvement in the coup."

"He requested weapons, vehicles, and bulletproof vests. He said it was to give to the trainees at the Cumeré Military School, but in fact it was to carry out a coup d'état," declared the deputy chief of the Guinean Armed Forces at a press conference at the General Headquarters in Bissau, broadcast live on social media.

In another communication, also on social media, General Fernando da Silva, head of the personnel and cadres division of the Guinean Armed Forces, read a statement in Portuguese denouncing "yet another attempt to subvert the constitutional order" in Guinea-Bissau, "which is preparing for general elections to be held on November 23."

Former Trump Advisor, Dr. Walid Phares:

If the federal Government of Nigeria is unable to fight and defeat armed and genocidal Jihadism to protect the Christian people of Nigeria, as it failed to protect the Muslim communities in the North, the only remaining option to save lives and stop genocide, is to grant Nigeria's Christian south its right for self determination and assist the Muslim north in defeating Boku Haram and the other Jihadists.

One or the other but leaving millions of people without protection is not an option.

British Transport Police say two people have been arrested after multiple people were stabbed on a train to Huntingdon.
