🇮🇱 Israel Sends Aid to South Sudan Amid Gaza Blockade


Israel on Monday announced it will deliver humanitarian assistance to South Sudan, even as it maintains a crippling blockade on the Gaza Strip where millions face the risk of famine.

According to a statement carried by Army Radio, the Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed it would provide emergency support to South Sudan in response to a cholera outbreak that has spread since September 2024.

Israel’s public broadcaster, KAN, reported that the move comes “amid reports of discussions with South Sudan on the possible transfer of Gaza residents to its territory.” However, Juba has denied any such deal.

The aid package, supervised by Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, is expected to include basic medical supplies, water purification systems, and food parcels, according to Israel Hayom.

The development has drawn global attention, as Israel continues to keep Gaza’s border crossings sealed since March 2, blocking humanitarian convoys and allowing only limited shipments—far below the needs of the besieged enclave.

ONE YEAR WITHOUT MAMA: A TRIBUTE TO A MOTHER WITH A HEART OF GOLD

Image
“No affliction strikes except by permission of ALLAH. And whoever believes in ALLAH, He will guide his heart. And ALLAH is knowing of all things.” (Quran 64:11) It’s been a year—twelve months marked by the quiet ache of absence and memories that keep us company since we lost our beloved mother (fondly called ‘Mama’ by us and her grandchildren), Hajiya Sa’adatu Musa Kofa on the 17th of May 2024, corresponding to the 9th of Dhu’l-Qadah, 1445 AH.  Time has flown, yet the silence left in the wake of our mother’s passing has been deafening. Still, it remains painfully difficult to accept that my time with Mama (being her last child), has come to an end. Equally, Mama’s death has hit my beloved father, four older siblings, four grandchildren, her sisters, in-laws, relatives, domestic staff and acquaintances in unquantifiable proportion. Married to my father, Engr. Usman Shehu Liman for close to four decades, Mama was born into the family of Late Alh. Musa Kofa’s family, Gidan Garko, Kofa...

President’s Push to Crash Food Prices: A Looming Threat to Northern Farmers

Image
🖊️ Muhammad Isah Ramat Introduction The Nigerian president’s recent directive to crash food prices across the country has sparked widespread debate. While the move aims to reduce the burden of high living costs on ordinary citizens, many analysts warn that the policy could backfire, especially in the northern region, which produces the bulk of Nigeria’s food supply. Northern Nigeria: The Food Basket Under Siege The northern region accounts for nearly 90% of the food consumed in Nigeria. Despite this, it faces persistent challenges: insecurity from banditry and insurgency, widespread unemployment, and crippling poverty. Thousands of farmers have been displaced from their farmlands, and agricultural output has already declined. Against this backdrop, the president’s plan to force a reduction in food prices may have unintended and damaging consequences. Negative Impacts on Farmers 1. Loss of Income   Lower food prices mean farmers will earn far less for their produce. Small-scale far...
