It hasn't been since 2003 when Jean Chrétien announced that Canada wouldn't be invading Iraq with the US that I've felt so proud to be Canadian. Thanks for reminding me, PM Mark Carney.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

As Russia's Africa Corps fights in Mali, witnesses describe atrocities from beheadings to rapes The Associated Press has spoken to over 30 refugees from Mali who say they witnessed beheadings, rapes and other abuses committed by Africa Corps, a new military unit under Russia's direct command.

Believe the testimonies included in this piece. An NGO worker specialised in mental health I interviewed today told me that 8 out of 10 refugees who left Mali for Mauritania since the Russian deployment suffer from serious mental health issues. This is a deliberate campaign of terror. This is Russia

Niger: le militant des droits humains Moussa Tchangari détenu depuis un an Il y a tout juste un an, le 3 décembre 2024, Moussa Tchangari était arrêté à Niamey. Un mois plus tard, le secrétaire général de l'ONG Alternative espaces citoyens, figure de la société civile nigérienne, était placé en détention à la prison de Filingué, à 180 kilomètres de la capitale, où il se trouve toujours. Moussa Tchangari est notamment inculpé pour atteinte à la défense nationale. L'instruction se poursuit.

Trump says he plans to pardon former Honduran president serving drug trafficking sentence President Donald Trump said Friday that he will be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who in 2024 was convicted for drug trafficking and weapons charges and sentenced to 45 ye...

So the US is fighting against drug trafficking by freeing a guy convicted of using the presidency to facilitate large-scale drug trafficking. Makes total sense. What JOH ally got in Trump's ear to set this up? www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

Diarra Transport essentially immediately announced it is restarting its operations. This pretty much means that a major company in #Mali now takes its orders from #JNIM as much as it does from the Military government (if not more so). 2/2

#JNIM explicitly banned the transport company "Diarra Transport". Yesterday, the jihadist group announced strict conditions for the company to restart business. The company must ensure that women riding on its buses are veiled, and that it and its clients do not collaborate with the military. 1/2

Or - just don't go. Don't take the risk. Don't support the US economy.
