In a dramatic and fiery video statement, the legal representative for the embattled online personality, Harrison Gwamnishu, has launched a scorching rebuke against activist Verydarkman (VDM). The lawyer forcefully condemned what he termed the activist's "audacity" in demanding a public explanation from Harrison regarding his recent arrest and ongoing legal battle. The blistering address came in response to Verydarkman's persistent public demands for Harrison to disclose details of his police case. The lawyer's central argument was that VDM has no standing in the matter and that his public ultimatums are not only inappropriate but reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of legal procedure. "Who Are You to Mandate Harrison?" The core of the lawyer's fury was the perceived arrogance of the activist's demands. "You want Harrison to come and tell you or tell the world what happened at your instance, because you are what?...

The United States has initiated a major diplomatic reshuffle, recalling its top envoys from nearly 30 countries, with Nigeria among 15 African nations affected. This move is part of President Donald Trump's effort to realign U.S. foreign policy with his "America First" agenda. According to reports, career diplomats appointed during the previous administration received notices last week informing them their postings would end in January.

They argue that global jihadist networks are expanding their influence, contradicting the perception held by many Western governments that groups like the Islamic State (ISIS) are on the decline. Bill Roggio, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and managing editor of The Long War Journal, identifies a persistent miscalculation in Western policy. "We’ve always been quick to declare terrorist organizations defeated and insignificant, and that couldn’t be further from the truth," he stated. He points out that despite the loss of its territorial caliphate, ISIS maintains a significant presence, with approximately 2,000 fighters in Afghanistan alone, as noted in a recent United Nations report. According to Roggio and other analysts, the attack in Australia is clear evidence of a broader, intercon...
