🇳🇮🚩⛓✝️ — The police of Daniel Ortega's dictatorial regime in Nicaragua raided the house of the Poor Sisters of Jesus Christ in Leon and arrested four Brazilian nuns.

According to information from the Congregation, the four sisters were deported because the government did not want to renew their residence permit. The community will continue their apostolate in El Salvador.

Through social networks, the lawyer and researcher Martha Patricia Molina explained that the refusal of the extreme-left regime led by Ortega to renew the residence permit of foreign religious is recurrent and serves as an argument to expel them from the country. Officially, 40 nuns and 44 religious have been expelled from Nicaragua in the last five years, but she assures that the real number is much higher.

🇱🇾 🇷🇺 🏴‍☠️ Exclusive Confirmation of Drone Strike:

- Anas El Gomati, director of the Sadeq Institute, a Libyan-based think tank.

"A local source confirmed the news to me last night, but two high level sources have confirmed to me the drone strike against the Wagner Group in Al Khadim.

I spoke to a Western diplomatic source who stated they received confirmation from “the highest levels of the GNU” the drone strike took place.

GNU military sources are not authorised to leak this, but acknowledge the drone strike took place whilst denying responsibility

Confirmation II:

The story starts before last nights drone strike. Yesterday, a military source confirmed to me at 14:45 (local time) Il76s were en route to UAE’s airbase at Al Khadim to evacuate Prizohvin aligned personnel from Libya to Uganda 🇺🇬 (continued)

He confirmed it was an Akinci drone strike without casualties but equipment was damaged & Prizohvin has been downgraded in Libya. He claims (but I can’t confirm) Prizohvin aligned Wagner personnel were evacuated & are currently in Entebbe, Uganda en route to Minsk, Belarus 🇧🇾

Despite initial denials & responsible analysts retracting tweets to avoid accidentally spreading disinformation, persistent research and confirmation from high-level sources established the credibility of the drone strike."

🇷🇺🇧🇾 According to a source of the Cheka-OGPU, Yevgeny Prigozhin is trying to resolve the issue of recruitment in Belarusian prisons and colonies. And it seems to have already received Alexander Lukashenko's approval in principle. It remains only to find a reason.

The source of the Cheka-OGPU spoke about the prospects for PMC Wagner. The fighters were told that approximately 4/5 of the team was going to Belarus. Those who remain in the Russian Federation will mostly remain near Lugansk. According to the interlocutor, all the main figures are now in Belarus, including the head of the PMC Evgeny Prigozhin.

🇱🇾 🇷🇺 Libya factions reassess Wagner's operations in light of mutiny in Russia 

The Wagner issue could significantly impact the conflict in Libya and lead to further instability in the country.

"If Wagner is not disbanded or integrated into the Russian military, it is possible that the group will become more independent of the Russian government and could act more aggressively on its own behalf"
