  • Anatoly Antonov
    Anatoly Antonov “The yet another arms shipment to the Zelensky regime is a reaction to the success of the Russian Armed Forces at the frontline. Our soldiers and officers continue to liberate the Russian land by their heroic efforts. America acknowledges this fact.” 27 minutes ago
  • Louise Wateridge
    Louise Wateridge “Everywhere you look now in west Rafah this morning, families are packing up. Streets are significantly emptier. UNRWA estimates 150,000 people have now fled Rafah. New areas have been issued evacuation orders towards central Rafah in south Gaza and Jabalia in North Gaza.” 3 hours ago
  • Donald Tusk
    Donald Tusk “The Polish-Belarusian border is a unique place due to the pressure of illegal immigration. In fact, we are dealing with a progressing hybrid war. I want there to be no doubts here - a country with increasingly aggressive intentions towards Poland, such as Belarus, is co-organising this practice on the Polish border. It is not only Poland's internal border, but also the EU border. Therefore, I have no doubt that all of Europe will have to ... invest in its security by investing in Poland's eastern border and in the security of our border.” 4 hours ago
  • Jakub Palowski
    Jakub Palowski “A direct attack on Kharkiv is quite unlikely because it is a big city. Ukraine currently has a mobilised army and, in the absence of a surprise, the defence of such a city would be quite effective. It is hard to tell what Russia wants to achieve in the Kharkiv region. It might be the opening of a new full-scale front, similar to the Donbas region; actions that would aim at capturing a limited area and accumulating Ukrainian troops in one place, so that they cannot be used elsewhere; or creating conditions for further offensives.” 4 hours ago
  • Yevgen Shapoval
    Yevgen Shapoval “Some people are panicking, but not like the occupiers would like them to. Yes, explosions are heard close up and the situation is not easy. It is difficult especially psychologically. We must be consistent and believe in Ukraine's defence forces. So even if they try to do something, to attack, they will get the response they deserve. Yes - some local tactical movements and even some larger-scale offensive operations are possible. But as for Kharkiv, I don't believe it can be captured.” 4 hours ago
  • Georgios Petropoulos
    Georgios Petropoulos “We simply have no tents, we have no blankets, no bedding, none of the items that you would expect a population on the move to be able to get from the humanitarian system.” 4 hours ago
  • Tal Beeri
    Tal Beeri “So far, the IDF has not struck Hezbollah's significant systems. Even if the government pursues a diplomatic agreement, it will only postpone the war that will break out whenever Hezbollah chooses and on its terms-by my estimation, no later than the end of 2026. No political or diplomatic agreement will prevent Hezbollah from continuing to operate. Any such agreement only means buying time, with Israel being the only side likely to adhere to it, while Hezbollah waits for an opportune moment to initiate a full-scale confrontation.” 20 hours ago

“The move by the trio is likely the silliest own goal since the United Kingdom voted for Brexit. The three countries were already among the poorest in ECOWAS, and indeed the world - and leaving [ECOWAS] won't help.”

“This decision is to be applauded since freedom of movement has been recovered through the order. We wanted to point out the injustice imposed on sub-Saharan citizens not only in their desire to reach destinations but also in damaging the circular migration in ECOWAS space for the sake of another geographic space of the European Union.”

“Let no one be in doubt that if everything else fails the valiant forces of West Africa, both the military and the civilian components, are ready to answer to the call of duty. Meanwhile, we are still giving diplomacy a chance and the ball is in the court of the junta.”

“No option is taken off the table, including the use of force as a last resort. We [ECOWAS] remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting Niger in the journey towards peaceful democratic stability. I hope that through our collective effort we can bring about a peaceful resolution as a roadmap to restoring stability and democracy in Niger. All is not lost yet.”

“I think this has the potential to be disastrous. The only positive thing we can say about this coup so far is that there has been no violence. And I think we should preserve the peace in Niger for the sake of the people, and an intervention force led by Nigeria creates a very likelihood that perhaps uncontrollable violence will break out and that does not strike me as a positive outcome for anyone.”

“He [Hamidou Boly] is engaged with groups, individuals from civil society, from the world of politics and even from the world of the press, who undertake actions hostile to the transition and which are not in line with his mission.”

“[Doumbouya] is clearly saying all the rights thing now about a transition, about an inclusive political approach, reminding people of the need for the reforms, all the governance failures of the past. But the real test is going to lie really in a couple of phases over the next few weeks. First of all, in his internal discussions, he has got to secure the acquiescence if you like of a broad … political class and civil society in this transition. And although a lot of people are expressing relief … that's not quiet the same thing as signing up for all the details of the new transition. And the next stage will be a difficult negotiation with ECOWAS [Economic Community of West African States], the West African bloc of which Guinea is a member and which really has a pretty firm constitutional law that soldiers cannot take long term power by force.”

“Don't forget that Doumbouya [Mamadi Doumbouya] is a Conde [Alpha Conde] man, he was placed in charge of the Special Forces and specially trained to protect Conde. This is important to understand perhaps why the country seems to stand behind him. All sources say that in spite of the AU [African Union], ECOWAS' [Economic Community of West African States] requests of them [the military] to go back to the barracks, it's not working … is not being heard in Guinea. There is no question that Doumbouya is in charge and he is the de facto head. So sanctions or not sanctions they will have to talk to him and more importantly they will have to take the measures of the country and it is clear that it is a popular uprising, at least as of the moment.”

“The sanction regime was not very successful [sanctions imposed after the August 2020 military coup]. People were able to trade; the borders are porous. But the fact that ECOWAS [Economic Community of West African States] had sought to impose sanctions without taking into consideration the political, economic and social realities of Mali meant that the sanction regime itself became anathema and allowed people to be very critical of ECOWAS. Right now, any narrative or decision to reimpose those sanctions, I think, will backfire. We need much more nuanced conversation as to what really the Malian people are looking for.”
