The situation in Sudan is so sad
The war in Sudan between the army led by Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces militia led by his deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, nicknamed Hemedti, is worse than anyone could have imagined when fighting broke out in April last year. The scale of destruction and displacement, and...

The Rabaa Al-Adawiya massacre is forever in our memory
Eleven years have passed since the Rabaa Al-Adawiya massacre in Cairo. It remains the massacre of the era. Despite all the oppression, injustice, killings and bloodshed we have seen before and since, which have exceeded even our worst nightmares, the Rabaa massacre stands out. I shudder when I think...

The Palestinian resistance groups have their finger on the trigger in negotiations
We hear conflicting news every day about the Gaza ceasefire negotiations in Doha that include senior US, Israeli, Egyptian and Qatari intelligence officials. The US is trying to give the illusion of a positive atmosphere surrounding the talks and is spreading rumours that there is progress and that an...

Israel killed Ismail Haniyeh, but will be unable to kill the ideology of Hamas
This is not an article about mourning Ismail Haniyeh, as martyrs are not mourned like the rest of us are; they have, after all, achieved the highest of rewards for eternity, no questions asked. A man like Haniyeh could not die a death through illness or an accident. The...

Shameful session where Netanyahu was applauded in spite of his lies
The invitation of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity, to deliver a speech before the US Congress, is one of the failures that have become common considering the Zionist lobby’s control over the American elites in decision-making centres, which was manifested in a complete American partnership...

The July Revolution that changed the shape of the Arab world, but not for the better
July 23 marks the 72nd anniversary of what Egypt calls the July Revolution, which changed the shape of the entire Arab world but not, though, the shape of the regime in Egypt. It was the beginning of military coups in the region, and military rule in most of its...

The Zionist entity is in a strategic impasse due to its failure to achieve its declared goals
Nine months have passed since the start of the relentless Israeli war against the Palestinians in Gaza, and the killing of defenceless Palestinian civilians and the destruction of their homes continues. The world watches on, without any serious effort to stop it, not even the UN Security Council, let...

The forgotten war in Sudan
The war in Gaza, which is approaching its ninth month, has overshadowed other wars around the world. More than any other, perhaps, we have not paid enough attention to the brutal civil war in Sudan. The media has almost totally ignored it, intentionally or not. We no longer know...

A debate between a senile man and a madman
The whole world witnessed the first debate between two US presidents, the current president, Joe Biden, and the former president, Donald Trump. It included domestic American issues, such as the economy, immigrants and abortion and, of course, touched on America’s foreign policy, which, of course, focused on the war...

Gaza was the Hajj sacrifice this year
More than two million Muslims stood on Mount Arafat this year in response to God’s command to perform Hajj for those who are able to do so, to perform the greatest pilgrimage at the same time in the same garments, facing the same Qibla, and praying to the same...

Young Syria man finds security loopholes in TikTok
A young 27-year-old Syrian man, Baraa Habab, continues his achievements in the field of software. He recently discovered a serious loophole in TikTok involving manipulating the percentage added to the player rounds by gift-givers. This would mean that if someone sent round players 1,000 points, TikTok bank would automatically...

Hamas is under pressure from those close to it and facing threats from its enemies
It is neither strange nor surprising for US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to completely lose their minds after eight months of war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, during which they did not achieve any military victory against the resistance groups that they...
-
Biden's road map basically signals the Zionist entity’s defeat
What prompted US President Joe Biden to deliver his urgent speech, in which he tried to fool the Arabs and pacify them with a “new” peace proposal for Gaza that is simply an extension of the now infamous Oslo Accords? His road map to end Israel’s war against the...

Was the Iranian president's plane crash planned?
Plane crashes involving heads of states are always linked to conspiracies and claims that they were planned in order to effect regime change or other major political upheavals. Bad weather, mechanical malfunctions and the like are often discounted. Everyone likes, and so believes, conspiracy theories, whether from within the...

Nakba commemoration is taking on a new meaning
The anniversary of the 1948 Palestinian Nakba arrived this year with a unique flavour, amidst the humiliation of the Zionist state over the past eight months of the most violent and longest military offensive that Israel has waged against any Arab adversaries since its establishment in the land of...
-
Occupying the Rafah Crossing is no real victory for Netanyahu
Was anyone surprised that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s insane determination to stay in power led to him sending tanks to the Palestinian side of the Rafah Crossing on the Gaza-Egypt border, lowering the Palestinian flag and raising the Israeli flag? He is defeated and he knows it. His...

Turkiye’s decision to cut trade ties with Israel came 7 months too late
After seven months of the fierce Zionist war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Turkiye has finally woken up, and the Erdogan government has suspended all trade with the occupation state of Israel and closed its ports to Israeli ships. The decision, though, came seven months too late. More...

America is witnessing student revolts; US citizens need to wake up to what’s happening
There is no doubt that the steadfastness of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in the face of the brutal Zionist aggression has inspired the people of the free world. By sacrificing their lives for their country’s freedom and independence, they are breaking the chains that shackle them. After...

The bloodied Eid in Gaza
“In what state did you come Eid? Are things the same or is there anything new?” This is how the poet Abu Al-Tayeb Al-Mutanabbi began his poem hundreds of years ago. It still rings true, especially given these dark days and painful circumstances of the brutal Zionist aggression against...

Why didn’t the US use its veto against the UN Security Council ceasefire resolution?
While I acknowledge that UN Security Council Resolution 2728 calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip came six months too late, there were certainly political factors that prevented such a resolution being agreed any earlier. I appreciate that all of the local, regional and international parties connected to...

Will Iraq regain its glory?
These days mark the 21st anniversary of the American invasion of Iraq, with its sad outcome, its harsh defeats, its estrangement from its Arab surroundings (that conspired against it) and it being, instead, embraced by Iran. Twenty-one lean years have destroyed the civilisation of an ancient country that was...

As the revolution in Syria enters its 14th year, free Syrians are waiting for the spark to reignite
The Syrian revolution has just entered its fourteenth year. The Arab Spring revolutions swept across the Arab world and broke out in Syria on 15 March, 2011. Had it not been for Russia’s intervention, the Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad would have been overthrown. He preferred Syria to fall into...

Palestine Land Day 2024 will have a very different feel about it
We are approaching the 48th commemoration of Palestine Land Day, and there is no doubt that 30 March will have very different feel about it this year, with the Palestinians in Gaza being killed and starved in defence of their land against the brutal Zionist military offensive over almost...

Gaza in Ramadan
There is no doubt that every Muslim with a sound heart and pure soul is experiencing two conflicting feelings upon entering the month of Ramadan this year: a feeling of innate joy in welcoming this holy month, which the Islamic nation eagerly awaits every year and receives with decorations,...
