A large group of chimpanzees in Uganda’s Kibale National Park split into two rival factions, sparking a deadly conflict, according to a study in Science.

The group—once about 200 strong—lived cooperatively for decades, but began dividing around 2015 after key social males died and a new alpha rose to power. By 2018, the split was complete, with no remaining social ties.

The two groups then turned violent. The smaller faction launched coordinated attacks, killing adult males and later targeting infants. At least 24 chimpanzees have died so far, though the true number is likely higher.

The violence is still ongoing.

Netanyahu’s Office:

Pakistan Defence Minister’s call for Israel’s annihilation is outrageous.

This is not a statement that can be tolerated from any government, especially not from one that claims to be a neutral arbiter for peace.

Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel:

Concept of stepping down is not a part of our vocabulary.

Zelensky:

Ukraine has repeatedly stated that we are ready for mirror steps.

We proposed a ceasefire for the Easter holidays this year and will act accordingly.

People need an Easter without threats and a real movement towards peace, and Russia has a chance not to return to strikes after Easter.

BREAKING: Trump:

There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait — They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!

Trump:

The Wall Street Journal, one of the worst and most inaccurate “Editorial Boards” in the World, stated that I “declared premature victory in Iran.”

Actually, it is a Victory, and there’s nothing “premature” about it! Because of me, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON and, very quickly, you’ll see Oil start flowing, with or without the help of Iran and, to me, it makes no difference, either way.

The Wall Street Journal will, as usual, live to eat their words. They are always quick to criticize, but never to admit when they’re wrong, which is most of the time!

Trump:

Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!,

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry:

Netanyahu wanted us to strike Iran. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike.

President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who has agreed to this, obviously, is President Trump.

Sen. John Fetterman:

If you have to pick a side, pick our side. Pick civilization. Pick Israel.

BIG: China quietly pushed Iran toward U.S. talks during the war, gaining diplomatic credit with Xi and Trump.

Beijing’s goal: build leverage ahead of their summit, where Xi is expected to press Trump to move closer to China’s position that Taiwan is a breakaway province that should ultimately reunify with the mainland.

Hunter Biden wants a cage match with Donald Trump's sons Eric and Don Jr.

Alex Jones on Trump:

5-6 times a day, it's, "Oh, we won, it's over. No, it's gonna go on forever. I'll never let them have the Strait. Yes, we're giving up the Strait. I'm getting out of NATO. We're staying in NATO."

When you know people in early dementia, that is exactly what they do.

Benny Johnson:

Netanyahu should be banned from the White House.

Scott Bessent and Jerome Powell quietly called in top Wall Street CEOs after concerns that a new AI model from Anthropic could significantly raise cyberattack risks.

The model, called Mythos, is reportedly capable of identifying and exploiting weaknesses in major systems, raising fears that it could be used for more advanced hacking.

Regulators wanted to ensure banks are aware of the threat and are strengthening their defenses.

For now, access to the model is limited to a small group of companies while security measures are being worked out.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung:

The forced comfort women issue that we are raising is no different from the Jewish massacre or wartime killings.

BIG: Chinese President Xi Jinping met Taiwan opposition leader Cheng Li-wun in Beijing:

The leaders of the two parties are meeting today to safeguard the peace and tranquility of our shared home.

To promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.

We are willing, based on the common political foundation of adhering to the 1992 Consensus and opposing Taiwan independence...

To seek peace for both sides of the strait, to seek well-being for our compatriots, and to seek rejuvenation for the nation.

To firmly hold the future of cross-strait relations in the hands of the Chinese people themselves.

Reza Pahlavi:

We never sought military intervention in our country.

Taiwan opposition leader Cheng Li-wun to Chinese President Xi in Beijing:

Today... I deeply feel the concerned gaze of the entire world.

Kuomintang and the Communist Party to jointly promote the institutionalization of cross-strait peace.

Based on the common political foundation of adhering to the 1992 Consensus and opposing Taiwan independence, the two sides should further plan and construct institutional and sustainable dialogue and cooperation mechanisms.

To make the peaceful development of the two sides irreversible, and to fundamentally eliminate all root causes of conflict.

Reza Pahlavi:

Everyone keeps asking: when will the Iranian people rise?

I don’t say they will rise right away—but at the right moment.
