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.

Angry Spanish Mobs Attack King Felipe While On Visit To Flood -Affected Area

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.
