Over 8 Million Dollars Recovered From A Failed Coup Attempt In Burkina Faso

by Admin Nov 11, 2024 An individual with an identity withheld has been arrested in Ouagadougou, the capital of the country,  while attempting to bribe a fraction of Burkina Faso soldiers with Five Billion CFA ($8.2 million dollars) in cash to carry out a coup against the Ibrahim Traore government. The individual who made contact with a few columns of soldiers in the Burkina Faso military and liaised with them to carry out a coup to topple Captain Ibrahim Traore’s administration. While unknown to the individual the soldiers who he reached out to made him believe that they were on board with the plans and arranged a meeting point to accept the payment in cash. The payment was brought in the back of a Toyota pickup truck and the money was stored in eight different traveling luggage, as soon as the soldiers confirmed that the money was in the luggage the Burkina Faso military secret services swung into action and arrested the unknown individual. The identity of the individual has yet to be revealed by the Burkina Faso intelligence service they said they are currently carrying out investigations on the sponsors of the coup and how such an amount of money was able to get through the Burkina Faso Central Bank. Prodesq gathered that this is the sixth coup attempt to topple the Ibrahim Traore administration since he took over the government through a coup in 2022.  Our team further gathered that this was the fourth coup of the year that was foiled by the Burkina Faso military ever since Captain Ibrahim Traore’s severe ties with the French government and expelled the French military from the country.  Things further went sour between the French government and Burkina Faso when Ibrahim Traore withdrew the mining license of French companies in the country and expelled them stating that Burkina Faso would take sole responsibility for mining and refining the country’s gold.  No official statement has been issued by the Burkina Faso government over the sponsors of the coup but the money recovered from the unknown individual has been taken to the country’s treasury department in the capital. 

Russia Military Shoots Down 32 Ukrainian Drones

Drone Attack in Moscow, Russia

by Admin Nov 10, 2024 Ukraine launched its biggest UAV drone attack on Russia since the beginning of the war. The attack which targeted the Moscow province injured a 52-year-old woman and set two homes on fire in the village of Stanovoye. Sergei Sobyanin, the Mayor of Moscow confirmed the attack and said “Thirty-two drones headed for Moscow have been destroyed”. He revealed this through his Telegram page. The drones were shot down over the Moscow region in the Ramenskoye, Kolomna, and Domodedovo districts. Russia’s defense ministry disclosed in a statement that it had shot down 23 Ukrainian drones over the Bryansk, Rostov, Belgorod, and Kursk regions, which share a border with Ukraine. A video posted by the Russian media showed a house on fire, in the Ramenskoye district of Moscow. Andrei Vorobyov, the governor of the Moscow region described the attack as  “Massive” and the woman who is the only victim of the attack has been moved to a hospital for treatment. Andrei Klychkov, the governor of Orlov region, a town closer to Moscow, confirmed that the air defense shot down a total of 10 drones over his region on Sunday morning. He further added that no one was injured during the attack.  The Ukrainian military said that the attack was a response to the Thursday and Friday attacks carried out by the Russian air force in several parts of Southern Ukraine in which one person was killed and seven people were wounded. The Russian military said its air force has responded to Ukraine’s attack with 92 drones and five glide missiles, while Ukraine confirmed that it downed four Russian missiles and 62 drones.

12 Killed And 7 Injured In Mexico Shooting Attack

Two Mexican Police Officers at Scene of the Shootout

by Admin Nov 10, 2024 Mayhem was unleashed in the city of Queretaro when unidentified gunmen opened fire at a bar killing 12 people and injuring seven others in the late hours of Saturday evening. The attack took place at Los Cantaritos bar, where the gunmen arrived in a truck and shot rapidly at the bar. Confirming the incident was Juan Luis Ferrusca, the head of public security for Queretaro, he disclosed that “Emergency services arrived at the scene and confirmed that at least four people armed with long weapons had arrived on board a pickup truck”. He added that “Inside, 10 people were reported dead and at least seven more were injured so far”.  Prodesq crime analyst Temitope Oladeji gathered that two of the injured victims lost their lives on the way to the hospital while the other five remain in critical condition. He added that one suspect had been detained by the Queretaro police authorities and investigation was underway into the cause of the shooting and if it was cartel related or gang related. Queretaro is a city in central Mexico and was considered to be one of the safest cities in Mexico, but the increase in cartel war has left many cities in Mexico in chaos. This will be the 20th gun related violence in Mexico since the beginning of the year, which has witnessed a surge since the arrest of popular cartel leader “El Mayo” Zambada and extradited to the United States.

Federal Judge Halts Joe Biden Plan For Undocumented Spouses

by Admin Nov 9, 2024 Judge Campbell Parker, a United States District Court Judge has ruled against President Joe Biden’s plan to create a pathway to United States citizenship for undocumented immigrants who are married to American citizens. Judge Parker who is an appointee of Donald Trump during his last administration said that President Joe Biden administration lacked the power to make such decisions to enact the programme. Judge Campbell Parker supported a filed lawsuit which was brought by 16 Republican states that kicked against the Biden administration not being able to bypass the Congress to pass the immigration legislation. Hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants have been blocked by Judge Barker a few days after the program started in August. In August the Biden administration announced the Keeping Families Together programme, which will give undocumented immigrants married to United States citizens living in the country for a decade or more a chance of getting a green card without leaving the United States.  The program will allow residents with green cards who are married to United States citizens to be able to apply for citizenship after three years. The White House was dissatisfied with the ruling of Judge Campbell Parker and in a statement by Angelo Fernández Hernández, the White House Spokesman said “This ruling sides with Republican state officials who are seeking to force US citizens and their families, people who have lived in the United States for more than ten years, to either separate or live in the shadows in constant fear of deportation”. He further added that “Our Administration believes in keeping American families together,” and that the Biden administration is looking at all possible solutions to overturn the decision in the Supreme Court. Gene Hamilton, the executive director of Homeland Security said that he was highly disappointed by the ruling, he added that “We firmly believe Keeping Families Together is grounded in well-established legal authority, and its purpose is consistent with fundamental American values.” Gene further pointed out that “Since day one, the Biden-Harris Administration has dedicated itself to the decimation of our immigration system and the erasure of our borders”. The administration has planned to appeal Judge Barker’s ruling, but with the emergence of Donald Trump as the new president the hopes of appealing the ruling have been dashed as the newly elected president has already announced that his administration will carry out the biggest deportation in America history. 

24 people killed In Train Station Bomb Explosion In Pakistan

Pakistan Soldier Standing over the Rumbles of the Bomb Blast

by Admin Nov 9, 2024 Tragedy struck in Pakistan when a bomb went off in a train station in Quetta in south-western of the country, killing 24 people and wounding dozens more.  Confirming the incident is Mouzzam Jah Ansar, the Inspector General of police for Balochistan, who revealed that the prime target of the attack was a military officer from the Pakistan Infantry School. The bomb attack was carried out by a suicide attacker who detonated explosives inside the train station during Saturday busy morning rush hours. The suicide bomber has been linked to Islamic Separatists Group who carried out a deadly attack in August that claimed more than 70 people in Balochistan province after separatist militants attacked police stations, railway lines and highways. Muhammad Baloch, superintendent of police operations, said “The blast took place inside the railway station when the Peshawar-bound express was about to leave for its destination”. He further disclosed that police had begun an investigation into the attack and are working closely with the Pakistani military intelligence to fish out the orchestrators of the attack. Dr Wasim Baig, a hospital spokesman said “So far 44 injured people have been brought to civil hospital,” and most of the wounded brought to the hospital are in critical conditions. Pakistan has been under recurring terrorist attacks with most attacks coming from  separatist ethnic militants in the south and Islamist militants in its north-west. No terrorist group has come forward to claim responsibility for the bomb attack at Quetta’s main railway station but intelligence reports indicate it was the same Islamic separatist group that carried out the August attack in the same province. 

The Rise and Fall of Kamala Harris; Where Did It Go Wrong?

by Admin Nov 7, 2024 What would have been the greatest fairy tale in American Political History turned out to be a sour heartbreak for the incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, most will argue that she fought the good fight against tyranny others will remember her as the number two citizen of the United States for four years who waged different wars, flooded the country with illegal migrants.  Kamala Harris, the first American vice president of Latino descent, the first female vice president of the United States, a former senator and an Attorney General of California that’s a lot of accolades under her belt, but that was not enough to make her the number one citizen of the United States of America. Where did it all go wrong? It all started with the war in Ukraine, the first major war in Europe since the Second World War, Biden, and Kamala administration gave the green light for a major escalation of the Ukraine-Russia war that led to billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money being sent to Ukraine while victims of natural disasters in the United States were abandoned, from the Hawaii fire victims who were permanently relocated from their ancestral lands to Florida Hurricane victims who were paid $350 dollars per household as hurricane relief fee while the same week over $300 million dollars was sent to Ukraine. The Biden/Harris administration recorded the highest number of illegal immigrants flooding the United States with several others being sheltered by the government using the taxpayer’s money while thousands of American citizens were left homeless on the street. The use of the rhetoric that “I will do better than the last administration” made a lot of Americans ask if she was not part of the last administration. The tipping point of her fall was the continuous support of Israel’s war in the Middle East which left thousands of people dead in Gaza and Lebanon with a substantial amount of the victims being women and children. The failure of the administration to halt Israel and hold Benjamin Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes while several thousands of Americans protested against the support of the Biden/Harris administration to quell the war which was ignored as the Administration kept funding Israel as a show of defiance to the American people. During her campaign, Kamala Harris’s support for abortion rights policy led to a wide range of discontent from Americans who have had a rapid decline in the birth rate while her Republican opponent Donald Trump stood against abortion rights policy like he did in his last administration swung the election in favor. Sexism played a huge impact on the outcome of the election, yes! America is the leader of the “free world”, America is the land of opportunities but a lot of Americans do not believe that a woman can represent them on the world stage or stand a chance against the likes of Vladimir Putin of Russia, Xi Jinping of China, Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran and Kim Jong Un of North Korea who are considered to be adversaries to the United States of America.  In 2016,  Hillary Clinton was projected to be the President of the United States she had all her boxes ticked to be the next president against Donald Trump who had not held a political office before, Hillary Clinton knew Washington like the palm of her hand as she was the former first lady of President Bill Clinton, a former Secretary of States to President Barack Obama, she had the biggest donors in her pocket and the social media platforms were strongly behind her but it took the decision of the American people to decide whether they wanted a female president or not which they voted against by electing Donald Trump.  This is the same fate that Kamala Harris experienced hoping she could pull the biggest political upset in American history where a typical American woman failed. She felt an African American and Asian American woman could achieve it but she failed more woefully than the last woman who tried it. The question remains what next for Kamala Harris?

Exceptional Trump Pulls The Greatest Comeback In American Political History

by Admin Nov 6, 2024 From surviving two impeachment trials to being a convicted ex-president and narrowly missing a bullet on his way back to the White House, President Donald Trump has become the most celebrated political figure of his generation since Abraham Lincoln who was assassinated while in office. He is widely regarded as the most controversial man in the United States, betrayed by his own number-two Mike Pence who publicly called him “Unfit to be in office” and told him to “Step down” after he was accused of inciting Jan 6 riot. Trump’s longest-serving, chief-of-staff, John Kelly called him a “fascist”. Everyone around him during his presidency literally turned on him after he lost the 2020 election. His long-time attorney Rudd Guilliani was used as a “sacrificial lamb” by the democrats as a means to deter anyone from coming to his aid. But if destiny is meant to be then it will surely be, after his old friends abandoned him, new friends came into the fold, and the most prominent of his new friends turned out to be the richest man in the world and a tech guru, Elon Musk Donald Trump at 78 will become the oldest person to take the Oval Office in US history just a few weeks before his sentencing over fraud and felony charges, the tables turned for him, and now becomes the most powerful man in the world. A devoted Christian who never for once shook his background beliefs of the doctrines of Christ, stood against homosexuals, transgenderism, queers, and illegal immigrants flocking into the United States. Defeating the incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, who was heavily supported by Democrats’ big donors, the EU and NATO, everyone thought Trump had no chance against her but Trump never flinched in the face of adversaries. He pulled the biggest political comeback in American history to become the 45th and 47th American president within the space of four years.  A man born into wealth with a playboy lifestyle and a successful real estate guru, his controversial ways played a significant role in his return to power, his love for Dictators, and his use of rhetoric that would have ended another political candidate’s career. This did not start overnight, during his first stint as president, he forged a good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China and he also became the first American president to step foot on North Korean soil in a bid to quell the tension between the United States and North Korea. A move deemed by many Democrat powerhouses as a “Betrayal to Democracy”, this ushered in a series of propaganda that led to two different impeachment trials but failed. Trump lost the 2020 election and firmly believed that he was robbed after amassing the highest number of votes by a sitting president, 78 million Americans voted for him but yet he lost the election to Joe Biden. His refusal to admit that he lost the election led to the January 6 riots which were weaponized by the Democrats to destroy his political career but that also failed as the truth about the riot unfolded as time went by. Donald Trump returns to the Oval Office with a clear intention of mass deportation of illegal immigrants, the need to stabilize the country’s economy, the need for the end of the war in Ukraine, and stabilize the relationship between China and the United States which has greatly deteriorated due to China’s intention to reclaim Taiwan. With the hill task ahead of Donald Trump several policies will be introduced that will shake the foundation of the United States and hopefully, the same people who voted him into power will stand by him. 

Benjamin Netanyahu Fires His Defense Minister Yoav Gallant

by Admin Nov 6, 2024 Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel has relieved his Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant from his duties in a surprise decision that rocked the nation. The Prime Minister cited his decision to relieve Gallant of his duties as a matter of trust and confidence after the leaked documents revealed Israel’s masterplan to attack Iran. The decision of the Prime Minister sparked protests across the country, which left Tel Aviv totally divided and clashes erupted between Israeli police and protesters. The Prime Minister and his Defense Minister have been at odds over the decision of Benjamin Netanyahu in the war and also the prime minister’s refusal to agree on a prisoner swap between Hamas and Israel in the case of the Israeli hostages in Gaza. Benjamin Netanyahu announced the decision on Tuesday in his speech hours before the commencement of the United States elections, he said “In the midst of a war, more than ever, full trust is required between the prime minister and defense minister,”. He further explained that “Unfortunately, although in the first months of the campaign there was such trust and there was very fruitful work, during the last months this trust cracked between me and the defense minister.” Prodesq, Political Analyst, Temitope Oladeji, disclosed that Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant have been on the same page about the war since it began a year ago but the spread of the war into Lebanon and clashes of policies between the two sides over the approach of the war may have led to the fallout. Temitope further explained that the Defense Minister has been pushing for a more pragmatic approach to the war especially in Gaza and for a secure release of the Israeli hostages in Gaza Strip which some have been killed by Israeli airstrikes during the war. However,  Gallant in a late night new conference disclosed that he had a fallout with the prime minister of three main issues which were the: the exemptions of ultra-Orthodox men from military drafts which he considered a very controversial decision. Gallant further explained that he pushed for the urgent need for a hostage deal and the need to establish an official commission of inquiry into the political and security failures of Oct. 7. Gallant has been replaced by the foreign minister Israel Kartz who takes office immediately following failed attempts of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to invade southern Lebanon.

Ballot Boxes Burned Down In Different States In United States

by Admin Nov 5, 2024 As early voting proceeds all over the United States, several arson cases have been reported in different states across the country. In Portland, Oregon, it was reported a “fire suppression system” suppressed the fire and  a number of ballots were damaged to three.  Portland Police Authorities said they have begun investigating and reviewing surveillance footage in search to identify who is responsible. Another attack occurred a week ago in Atlanta-Georgia, two ballot drop boxes in the Pacific Northwest were damaged in an arson attack that destroyed  hundreds of ballots at one location in the city of Vancouver in the state of Washington. Police authorities said incendiary devices started the fires in the drop boxes in Portland and Vancouver.  The police further disclosed that evidence gathered from the scenes showed that the fires were all related and that they also are also all connected to an October 8 incident when an incendiary device was dropped at a different drop box in Vancouver. Authorities said, hundreds of ballots were lost at a ballot box at the Fisher’s Landing Transit Center when the drop box’s fire suppression system did not work as intended Tim Scott, Multnomah County Elections Director, said that his department is looking into how to contact three people whose votes were destroyed by the blaze. Greg Kimsey, Clark County Auditor, said the ballot box was last emptied at 11am on Saturday and voters who dropped their ballot papers hereafter are being urged to contact the office to get a new one. Kimsey further described the suspected arson as “a direct attack on democracy.” Drop boxes have been in use for years in the United States in states such as Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington, where ballots are mailed to all registered voters. The use of drop boxes  grew prominently in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, as election officials sought options for voters who wanted to avoid crowded polling places or were worried about mail delays.
