Kemi Badenoch

by Admin Nov 4, 2024 Things took a different turn after a deadly flood from torrential rain fell and swept through the country killing over 200 people in the process and leaving destruction in its wake. The incident is regarded as the most deadly natural disaster that has ever happened in the country in over a decade. King Felipe VI of Spain decided to take a condolence visit to the flood-devastated region and relate with the victims but his visit was not warmly received by the people. The people were infuriated by the government’s response to their plight and did not hold back their grievances and attacked the king and his entourage. King Felipe was with Pedro Sánchez , the Spanish prime minister, and also in attendance was Carlos Mazón, the regional president of Valencia. The King visited the people of Paiporta, the most affected area where 60 people were killed by the flood and he was met by an angry and devastated crowd who threw rotten eggs and mud at him as a sign of protest against the ill-treatment by the Spanish government. The crowd shouted “Killers” at the king and his entourage in video footage reviewed by Prodesq. Prodesq gathered that the angry crowd accused the Prime Minister and the regional president of Valencia of raising awareness of the flood until it was too late to evacuate. More soldiers were sent to the flood-affected region after an initial thousand troops were deployed to help in the search and rescue operations but the fear of conflict between the people and the government officials made the Spanish authority deploy more troops. With several roads leading into the Valencia region closed to vehicles, many volunteers decided to walk, carrying brooms, rakes, and buckets. Thousands of people crossed the bridge to Paiporta, where mud still clogged the streets after a river burst its banks.

Zelensky Calls On Western Support Against North Korean Troops

by Admin Nov 3, 2024 Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky has called for help after the confirmation of the arrival of 10,000 North Korean troops in Russia to aid Vladimir Putin in his war against Ukraine. Zelensky said his military chiefs have warned that they are facing the most brutal offensive since the beginning of the war two years ago and the Ukrainian military will need all the support it needs to face the new waves of attack from Russian assault. The Ukrainian President said that the suggestion of a pre-emptive strike on the position in which the North Korean troops are camped in Russia but also said that such a decision can not be taken without the approval of Washington and other Western allies. The United States earlier this year warned the Ukrainian military chief from using Western-made long-range missiles to strike Russian territory. However, President Vladimir Putin issued a warning on September 12 that Russia would be “at war” with the US and NATO states if they approved the use of Western-made long-range missiles to strike Russian territory. Zelensky, who took to his Telegram messaging app, said, “But instead … America is watching, Britain is watching, Germany is watching. Everyone is just waiting for the North Korean military to start attacking Ukrainians as well.” However, Western leaders have condemned the deployment of North Korean troops and described it as a substantial move to escalate what could play a significant role in relations in the Asia Pacific region. Western diplomats have also said the newfound relationship between Russia and North Korea will open the pathway to technology transfers from Moscow to Pyongyang which will pose an advanced threat to the threat between Asia Pacific countries and also enhance North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile program. Prodesq war analyst, Temitope Oladeji disclosed that 7000 North Korean troops have advanced toward the Ukrainian southern border while the rest are heading to the Russian Kursk region which has been held by the Ukrainian forces since September this year. Temitope further explained that since the deployment of the North Korean troops to Russia, military tensions between South Korea and North Korea have reached another level. Last month, North Korea tested its newly engineered Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) and also for the first time released a picture of its uranium industry. Also, the United Kingdom government announced early this month that it would annually give Ukraine £3 billion pounds for as long as it takes, while the United States government announced the shipment of weapons of over $400 million dollars to Ukraine to show its support.

Flood From Torrential Rain Kills Over 70 In Spain

by Admin Oct 30, 2024 Spain is experiencing one of its deadliest floods in recent years. Floods from nonstop torrential rain have swept through the southeastern part of the country and killed 72 people with hundreds still missing. The rain began on Monday which came with a ferocious storm, sweeping through the southeastern part of the country. The storm blew away everything in its path, including cars, trucks, and small buildings. Confirming the devastating incident is Juanma Moreno, the president of the Andalusian government who was also rescued at the outskirts of the Alhaurin de la Torre, Malaga before being rushed to a local hospital for treatment. The president said he was suffering from hypothermia when he was rescued from his home. The flood had emergency rescuers deep into the water and at high risk to get people out of the danger zone. According to the Spain Meteorological Agency, the town of Chiva which is located in the eastern part of Valencia experienced a downpour that was supposed to last for a year under eight hours with an intense storm that submerged the town and made residents flee their homes while other towns in the east and south experienced a month worth of rain in under 24 hours. According to the Spanish Emergency Rescue Agency, 70 people were killed by the flood in the Valencia region while two people were also killed in the provinces of Castile-La Mancha, where over five other people were declared missing in the municipality of Albacete. The ongoing rain is the deadliest and most destructive since the 1996 flood that killed more than 80 people in the town of Pyrenees. The Spanish government has declared three days of mourning following the destructive and deadly flood. The Spanish government also dispatched over 1,000 soldiers and were deployed to the worst affected areas in the southeast and the Meteorological Agency has warned of a tornado heading for the northern region of the country.

Islamic Militants Kill 40 Soldiers In Chad

by Admin Oct 28, 2024 A military base on Barkham Island of Chad was attacked on Sunday evening by militias killing 40 Chadian soldiers after hours of gun battle. The tragic incident was confirmed by Chadian President Mahamat Deby, who disclosed that no organization has claimed responsibility for the attack but he has ordered the Chadian army to go after the Sunday attackers. During the president’s visit to the military base, he said “assessing the situation on the ground, paying his respects to the deceased soldiers, showing his compassion to the wounded, and lifting the morale of his brothers-in-arms”. General Saleh Haggar Tidjani, the LAC regional governor expressed his displeasure about the ugly incident but reassured that peace has been restored back to the Island, he said: “We have many casualties, yes, but the situation is under control and our forces are on the ground pursuing the enemy”. Sunday’s attack is the deadliest the country has ever experienced since the 2020 deadly attack which claimed the lives of 100 Chadian soldiers during a raid that forced former President Idriss Déby to launch an operation against Islamist jihadists on the border between Chad, Cameroon, Niger, and Nigeria. The military base had 200 soldiers stationed to protect the Island from Islamic militants. The attackers had enough time to steal weapons and ammunition from the dead soldiers. Sunday’s attack is a major blow to the presidency of Mahamat Deby who was an elite seasoned soldier before he became the president. The United Nations disclosed that over 220,000 Chadians have fled their homes in the last decade due to recurrent terrorist attacks from Islamic jihadists. It could be recalled that the former president was killed three years ago during military operations against Islamic militias on the Libyan border. Prodesq war analyst Temitope Oladeji gathered from multiple sources that Sunday’s attack was Boko Haram who came in from Nigerian territory. This is the first time in a long time Boko Haram has launched a major operation in the past few years due to their internal crises and after suffering from frequent clashes with ISWAP in the Nigerian and Niger territory.

by Admin Oct 27, 2024 A deadly accident claimed the lives of 19 people when a cargo truck collided with a passenger bus on a highway that connects Zacatecas with the central state of Aguascalientes, in northern Mexico. Rodrigo Reyes, a senior Zacatecas state official confirmed the unfortunate incident and further said “Following rescue efforts and expert work carried out at the scene, the confirmed number is, unfortunately, 19 people”. He further expressed his sympathy and condolence for the departed, he said “We send our solidarity and condolences to all the families and people who have lost a loved one in this unfortunate accident.” He disclosed that six people who survived the ghastly accident are currently being treated in hospitals. The passenger bus was traveling between the city of Tepic, in western Nayarit state, and Ciudad Juárez on the US border when the container trailer filled with corn fell off the truck, which caused the bus with 25 people to tumble over and somersaulted. Juan Manríquez Moreno, coordinator of the National Guard in Zacatecas, further explained the accident that the truck trailer detached on a highway before the bus collided with it, causing the vehicle to tip onto its right side. The highway has been closed due to traffic, Reyes said, adding that the army, National Guard, and civil protection forces were deployed to calm the anxiety among motorists on the highway. Prodesq gathered that in 2023, Mexico recorded a total number of 81,048 which led to the deaths of 4,803 people while over 90,000 people were injured.

Russian Missiles Leave Seven People Dead In Ukraine

Ukrainian Fire Fighters Conducting a Rescue Operation

by Admin Oct 27, 2024 Seven people have been killed by Russian missiles in the Dnipro side of Ukraine and in different parts of Kyiv, the country’s capital. The overnight attack killed a total of five people in Dnipro while two reported numbers of casualties were also killed in the Ukrainian capital. The airstrike attack came barely 48 hours after the BRICS bloc 2024 summit which was held in Kazan, Russia, where the United Nations general secretary, Antonio Guterres attended and called for worldwide peace. Voldodymr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president was devastated by the attack accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of ignoring his counterparts at the BRICS summit call for the end of the war. Zelensky said “After everything that was said in Kazan, Russian murderers returned to their usual business,” The Ukrainian president further said, “This proves once again that aggression cannot be stopped by talking, but only by decisive actions in defense of the state”. The Russian missiles hit several buildings in Dnipro killing five people and injuring several others while two others were killed in Kyiv and ten people injured including women and children. A teenager was among the casualties in Kyiv and while two women were part of the casualties in the Dnipro area of Ukraine. Prodesq war analyst, Temitope Oladeji delved into why Russian President Vladimir Putin ignored the BRICS leader’s calls for the end of the war in Ukraine and struck less than 48 hours after the summit which he hosted in his own country. Temitope said the strike was a response to the Western leadership’s decision to hand over $50 million dollars of Russia’s overseas assets to Ukraine as a relief fund. Selling the Russian overseas assets and giving $50 million worth of it to Ukraine did not definitely go well with Putin, the strike came a few hours after the G7 leaders announced the decision to sell Russia’s overseas assets and hand it to Ukraine. However, Kyiv has been calling for more air defense systems after the capital has continuously experienced deadly drone and missile attacks from Russia. The Ukrainian forces are still yet to pull out of the Russian territory of the Kursk region since the Ukrainians made a surprise invasion of the region a month ago.

Israel Launch Overnight Retaliatory Strikes On Iran

by Admin Oct 26, 2024 Israel has launched a series of retaliatory missile strikes on several Iranian military targets in Tehran for Iran’s October 1 attack on Israel. Confirming the attack the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) said its air force planes struck several targets which included air defense batteries and missile manufacturing facilities. The Israeli Ministry of Defense however said it has completed all retaliatory strikes on Iran as it promised to do after Iran’s October 1 missile airstrikes on Israel. Rear Adm Daniel Hagari, the Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson said the military had demonstrated its preparedness “to defend the state of Israel”. He further reiterated the military preparedness of Israel if Iran chooses to retaliate against Israel. The Iranian Foreign Ministry in a statement confirmed that two Iranian soldiers were killed by the Israeli airstrikes. The Iranian foreign ministry however also made it clear that it is paramount under International law to defend and protect its territory and citizens against external aggression which does not rule out a retaliation strike on Israel. The Iranian further said that it “recognizes its responsibilities towards regional peace and security”. Iranian authorities confirmed that its military sites in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces were struck by Israeli missiles. However, Western leaders including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany have called on Iran to not pursue retaliatory strikes against Israel to avoid a further escalation of tension in the Middle East. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has thrown its support behind Israel’s decision to strike back at Iran. He reiterated the calls for Iran to avoid retaliation but also assured that the UK government would work towards de-escalating the tension within the region. Maria Zakharova, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman said “What is needed is to stop provoking Iran to retaliate, and to get out of the spiral of uncontrollable escalation”. Qatar has expressed grave concern over the power tussle between Iran and Israel, echoing that the tension between the two countries has brought the region to the point of a full-scale war. Prodesq war analyst, Temitope Oladeji, gathered that several US government officials including the Pentagon said that the United States government had no part in the attack on Israel even though they were informed by the Israeli government before the attack was carried out. It could be recalled that two weeks ago, the Israeli retaliatory plans were leaked by a Pentagon official and the United States government has yet to make any statement concerning the source of the leak. However, the Israeli strikes come less than 48 hours after Iran was declared a full-fledged member of the BRICS bloc which brings a different powerplay shift into play if Iran eventually decides to strike back at Israel.

One of the Kurdish attackers armed with an AK 47 Rifle

by Admin Oct 25, 2024 Turkey’s government has confirmed that its military struck Kurdish sites in Iraq Syria belonging to PKK militants who claimed responsibility for the attack on Turkish aerospace base near Ankara on Wednesday. Turkey’s military said the airstrikes were carried out simultaneously since the attack on Wednesday evening and have also killed 59 PKK militants. A claim by the Kurdish Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) militia denies but rather claims that 12 innocent civilians were killed by Turkey’s airstrikes on their northern and southern territories in Syria. Turkey’s ministry of defense has however denied any claim of responsibility or involvement for killing civilians in Syria, in a statement issued by the ministry, which said it carried airstrikes on Wednesday and Thursday against Kurdish militants in northern and southern Syria in caves, shelter houses and warehouse and 47 militants were killed in the airstrikes. The Turkish defense ministry said earlier that “all kinds of precautions were taken to prevent harm to innocent civilians, friendly elements, historical and cultural assets and the environment”. The attack on a Turkish aerospace company near the capital was carried out by a man and woman who killed five civilians and injured 22 others while the attackers were killed by security forces. Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan said the attack by the militants was a “heinous attack” and has promised to bring all sides involved in the attack to justice. The Turkish media disclosed the identity and the occupation of the victims of the attack as Cengiz Coskun, a quality control officer, Zahide Guclu, a mechanical engineer, security guard Atakan Sahin Erdogan, another employee called Huseyin Canbaz and Murat Arslan, the taxi driver. Cevdet Yilmaz, the Vice President of Turkey said that four of the five victims were workers of TAI company while the fifth victim was the cab driver who was killed by the attackers and had his cab snatched from him.

BRICS Officially Declared 13 Countries As Partner Nations

by Admin Oct 25, 2024 The BRICS organization has declared the adoption of 13 new countries as Official Partners of the organization in the just concluded BRICS 2024 summit held in Kazan, Russia. The 13 nations have been officially recognized and invited to join the BRICS bloc. This declaration was born from last year’s summit in which the bloc invited some countries to participate and join the BRICS membership. The 13 nations are Nigeria, Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Turkey , Uganda, Indonesia, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Vietnam. The move is yet unclear whether these new BRICS partners will be used as replacements for the expected membership invitations. BRICS has grown at an unexpected rate since the beginning of the Ukraine-Russia war two years ago, it has become a symbol of dominant power in a bid to wrestle the western dominance in the world. The bloc ran an increasingly aggressive campaign against the de-dollarization of the US- dollar dominance of the world economy market. In the last one year, so many official BRICS official members and unofficial members have traded with each other without the use of the dollar. China and Russia have recorded the highest level of trade volume between the two countries since the formation of the bloc. Prodesq political analyst, Temitope Oladeji, disclosed that the newly just concluded summit was held at a very crucial moment in the West as the United States prepares for a presidential election in November. He further explained that the summit brought together some unprecedented political change in the landscape of world politics, which saw India and China hold a bi-lateral trade conversation which has not been held in the last five years since the LAC border crisis between the two countries. The summit also saw the meeting of two hostile nations of Armenian and Azerbaijani sit side by side and discuss trade relations and how to quell tensions between the two countries. The presence of the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Gueterres in the summit would have been a blow to the West and especially Ukraine. The secretary general met with the Russian President for the first time since the war broke out between Ukraine and Russia. Temitope also discussed the official status of Iran as a full fledged member of BRICS brings the tensions between Iran and Israel to another level of confrontation, Israel is an non-allied member of NATO which has been preparing a retaliatory attack against Iran for its attack against Israel on October 1. A retaliation strike from Israel against Iran will increase the tensions between NATO and BRICS, while in Israel preparations Iran becomes a full member of BRICS.
