Japan’s Former PM Shigeru Ishiba criticized PM Sanae Takaichi’s policies, warning Japan relies too heavily on the US and risks conflict with neighbors.
He questioned, “Is relying only on the US-Japan alliance such a wonderful thing?” and stressed Japan must keep dialogue with China because they “can’t move away.”
He also warned current policies could “inevitably hit a wall” and, if unbalanced, risk escalating tensions toward “a real Third World War.”

🌍 Breaking News: Fighting over access to water in Chad kills at least 42, army intervenes
At least 42 people have been killed in eastern Chad after a dispute between two families over access to water escalated into deadly reprisal attacks, according to Deputy Prime Minister Limane Mahamat. The violence began on Saturday in the village of Igote, located in Wadi Fira province near the Sudanese border, and spread rapidly across the area.
Mahamat confirmed that 10 others were injured and taken to a provincial health centre, adding that the army intervened with a “swift response” to contain the unrest. Authorities say the situation is now “under control,” while a mediation process and judicial proceedings have been launched. The clashes come amid rising pressure from the Sudan conflict, which has driven refugees into eastern Chad and increased competition over limited resources.
