๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Irish FM Simon Harris also emphasised the need for Gazans to remain in their land:
We need a two-state solution, and the people of Palestine and the people of Israel both have a right to live in states safely side by side and thatโ€™s where the focus has to be.

Any idea of displacing the people of Gaza anywhere else would be in clear contradiction with UN Security Council resolutions.


Ireland and Spain are two of the EU countries that recognised Palestine last year, alongside Slovenia.

Countries such as Spain, Ireland, Norway and others are legally obligated to allow every resident of Gaza to enter their territory - and their hypocrisy will be exposed if they refuse to do so. The residents of Gaza must be allowed to enjoy the freedom of exit and immigration as is the practice everywhere in the world.

๐Ÿณ๏ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ซโ€” #EXCLUSIVE - According to an exclusive source "the battle took place during several days, and APCs were used [by JNIM] to storm the main base [west of Djibo] where some more APCs were captured from the army" Casualty toll on either side still unclear.
๐Ÿณ๏ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ซโ€” #NEW - Emerging footage shows the APCs, likely captured from the Malian or Burkinabe army, being used to breach the walls of the Djibo main base, it seems dozens if not hundreds of JNIM fighters are present and heavy weaponry is being used.

Local media reports that in the several days of fighting dozens of Burkinabe soldiers were killed and dozens more injured, and many JNIM militants were also killed once Burkinabe drones joined the battle.

The JNIM fighter in the video displays a list of who he says are the names of all VDP (army volunteer militia) militiamen names in the area, and says "the conquest of the country [Burkina Faso] is just a matter of time" and new major offensives are to come.

According to War Noir, JNIM militants captured:
#Bulgaria-made ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ MG-1M machine guns, RPG-7 Launcher, #Serbia-made ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ Zastava M05E1 rifles, #Chinese ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Type 69 RPG Launcher, DZGI-40 air-burst projectiles, Type 80 machine guns, Type 54 heavy machine gun, Type 3 AKS-47 rifles, Type 56-1 rifles etc...

๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธโ‰๏ธ โ€” A very peculiar clip is currently circulating on social media, in which a young Gazan boy returning to his home in the northern Gaza strip is interviewed by al-Jazeera reporters.

To whom he recites by heart and word for word a speech of former IS Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi:
"Yes, Palestine the land that the Jews thought we had forgotten and believed they could distract us from. No, O jews, We have not forgotten Palestine for a single moment, and by the will of Allah we will never forget it!

Soon, very soon, by the will of Allah, you will hear the footsteps of the mujahideen, and their vanguards will besiege you. On a day that you see as far away, but we see as near, drawing closer with each passing day. And your reckoning will be severeโ€”severe indeed.

You will never find peace in Palestine, O Jews. And it will never be your home, your land."

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” Something that went over many people's heads relating to the USAID shutdown by Trump (and Elon) is that AES countries received almost a billion dollars in foreign aid from the US in 2024, and received similar amounts in the past years.

Stopping the aid to Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, can unequivocally deteriorate the security situation in ways never seen before, after the Sahelian countries kicked out European countries, more significantly France, and then the US, they can only rely on Russia, who now has a grim precedent with what recently happened in Syria.

2025 will be an interesting year in terms of development in the security arena as Sahelian countries are now relatively "alone".
