Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will meet with him next week Friday in the U S state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically saying we will get some back and we will get
some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who have issued series of video and written press releases since President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will not see any of its territory to Russia for the purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory
in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders were without preventive punishment, made him to start full scale war with Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path to piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine. This is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position,
cease fire, end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump, the highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the United States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia will take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five, in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Zulensky, in a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have not heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to
ensure that the war ends. The President of the United States has the leavers and the determination. Pine has supported all of President Trump's proposals starting back in February cease fire, all formats have been supported. What is needed now is not a pause in the killings, but a real lasting piece, not a cease fire sometime in the future, in months, but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully
support it. There must be a just end to the war, and it is Russia that must end the war it started Ukraine and all partners share the same understanding of the need for a cease fire, for an end to the killings. There is only one actor opposing this, Puten. His only card is the ability to kill, and he is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the highest possible price. It is important that this does not
mislead any one. Results are needed at the leader's level, dignified results, results that will save lives that the world will value and for which it will be grateful to the leader who delivers them. Every One clearly sees Putin's tactics. He fears sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them. He wants to exchange appalls in the war in the killings for the legalization of the occupation of our land.
He wants to get territorial spoils. For the second time, Putin was allowed to take Crimea and this led to the occupation in Daniesk and Luhnsk regions. He received no preventive punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders. This led to the full scale war and the occupation of even more parts of Ukraine. Now Putin wants to be forgiven for seizing the south of our curson region Zaporigia, the entire territory of Luhansk and Danyesk regions, and Crimea.
We will not allow this second attempt to partition Ukraine, knowing Russia, where there is a second, there will be a third. That is why we stand firm on clear Ukrainian positions. We must end the war with a dignified peace based on a clear and reliable security architecture. Our partners are ready to help us with this. We have just had a report from our team in the UK
from Andrew Yermick. There were talks among the security representatives of the US and Europe, Ukraine, the US Vice President, Vance, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Poland. The meeting was constructive. The path to peace for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine. This is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position, cease fire, end of occupation, end of war.
Ukraine is ready for real decisions that can bring peace. Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace, they will not achieve anything. These are stillborn decisions. They are unworkable decisions, and we all need real and genuine peace,
peace that people will respect. President Trump announced preparations for his meeting with Putin in Alaska, very far away from this war which is raging on our land against our people, and which anyway can't be ended without us without Ukraine. Putin did not believe in our people and therefore made the hopeless decision to try to take Ukraine. This was his main mistake, not taking Ukrainians into account. I believe in our people. Ukrainians are strong. Ukrainians defend what's theirs.
Many in the world have sided with Ukraine during the war. Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated. The Ukrainian people deserve peace, but all partners must understand what a dignified peace is. This war must be brought to an end, and Russia must end it. Russia started it and is dragging it out, ignoring all deadlines, and that is the problem, not something else.
The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in the constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier. We are ready to work together with President Trump, together with all our partners, for realand most importantly lasting peace, a piece that will not collapse because of Moscow's desires. I thank all our people for being together. Ukraine is I thank all our
soldiers for preserving our independence. Stand firm. This is our land. We are Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine. There is already a lot of support and it comes in the new circumstances. With a deadline now set for Russia to cease fire. So far we see that the Russians are ignoring it, at least for now. Today has once again brought killings
and Russian shelling. Over a hun hundred strike drones were launched overnight against Ukraine, followed during the day by air bomb strikes, intense assaults on the front line, and yet more air raid alerts in our cities and communities. No orders to stop have been given to the Russian Army. We are speaking with our partners to ensure real steps are taken. We are in constant communication with the American side, and our partners, for their part, are also engaging with
the United States. All are united in the understanding that there is a chance to achieve at least a cease fire, and that everything depends on the right pressure on Russia. I had a good conversation with President of Finland Alexander Staff. We are coordinating positions for the most productive joint work with America. It is important that America has the determination and the ability to end the war, and we welcome
President Trump's desire to stop the killings. To respond to Russia's intention to prolong the war and seize territorial spoils, must act wisely and in coordination. Thank you for your support, Alexander. Ukraine and Finland have the longest borders with Russia in Europe, and our people know very well what threats this brings. We agreed to continue working together for our common security. I spoke with uk Prime Minister kir Starmer. I am
grateful for the support. We share the same view on the need for a truly lasting piece for Ukraine and on the danger of Russia's plan to reduce everything to discussing the impossible. Clear steps are needed as well as maximum co ordination between US and our partners. We value the determination of the United Kingdom, the United States, and all our partners to end the war. We are actively working for constructive diplomacy and to ensure that the decisions
can work. We agreed on further contacts. I spoke with Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez. I am grateful for Spain's support for Ukraine and our Pea. I informed about the diplomatic situation and our contacts with partners, and shared our vision of what the next steps should be. The main thing now is to ensure that Russia does not once again impose its unrealistic conditions on anyone. It is important that Pedro and I share the same view. Europe's
voice must be taken into account. We are coordinating our common European position. We are ready to move as quickly and constructively as possible toward a just piece. We also discussed Ukraine's path toward European integration. Ukraine has fulfilled all its obligations and is fully ready to open the first negotiating cluster. We discussed possible options and will look for solutions. We agreed to stay in touch. Thank you. I spoke with President of France Emmanuel Macron. I am grateful for
the support. We exchanged views on the diplomatic situation Ukraine, France and all our partners are ready to work as productively as possible for the sake of real peace. It is truly important that the Russians do not succeed in deceiving anyone again. We all need a genuine end to the war and reliable security foundations for Ukraine and other European nations. I spoke with the Prime Minister of Denmark Metafredericksen.
I am grateful for the support. We discuss the diplomatic situation and communication with partners both hours and metas these days diplomatic activity is extremely high. However, we see no changes in Russia's position. The Russians still refuse to stop the killings, still invest in the war, and still push the idea of exchanging Ukrainian territory for Ukrainian territory with consequences that guarantee nothing accept more favorable positions for Russia
to resume the war. All our steps must bring us closer to a real end to the war, not its reconfiguration, and our joint decisions with partners must serve our common security. We also discussed with Meta our work toward EU membership and the progress on this path for both Ukraine and Moldova. We share the same view on the need for a fair approach and the fulfillment of commitments for Ukraine and
Moldova together. Thank you, Binni. Nigeria Police Force has refuted claims that its men man handled Sahara a reporter's publisher, Amile Saware inside cell after the media personnel honored the invitation sent him from the Office of the Inspector General of Police IGP over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation of characters, with the police stating in a press release signed and made available after the detained media publisher was
released on Friday night that Saware allegedly brought bandages alongside other personal items when he came to the station to honor the police invitation and when the IGP ordered internal investigation to ascertain if truly the media publisher was tortured as claimed, Saware refused to allow medical personnel from the Nigeria Police Force checked the alleged injury on his hand he had claimed he suffered as a result of the
police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as at the time Sware was released on Friday night, bandages were still seen wrapped around one of his hands, a scene in the video while he was coming out from the IGP Rapid Response Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja, as stated by Sware in the video. Shortly after his release from detention facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team on Friday, Saware posted on his social media handles and said that
freedom is never given. It is not a gift from the powerful, nor a token handed down by the oppressor. It must be seized with raw courage, with clarity, and with collective will. Those who sit in power never give it up willingly. That's why we take it back, because freedom is ours and we will fight until it is
no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria Police Force, in a statement issued on August eighth, twenty twenty five, and made available to the public, said the Nigeria Police Forces compelled to address and decisively correct the recent wave of disinformation being peddled in connection with the lawful arrest and detention of mister on Yale Saware, a figure known for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda to malign state
institutions and their leadership, particularly the Office of the Inspector General of Police. Contrary to the falsehoods being circulated, mister Sirware was arrested based on credible corroborated allegations involving criminal offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking, and other infractions currently under active investigation. The arrest was effected in full compliance with extrame and legal provisions and with strict adherents to constitutional safeguards,
due process and the rights of the suspect. To be clear, Mister Sirware was released on bailwell within the forty eight hour constitutional window in accordance with the provisions of Section thirty five four of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended. He is fully aware of the nature of the allegations against him and
has been duly informed of the charges. He is expected to appear before a court of competent jurisdiction in the coming days to answer to the accusations in a lawful and transparent judicial process. Equally false and grossly misleading is the narrative suggesting that mister Sare was tortured or subjected to any form of inhuman or degrading treatment while in custody.
The Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero tolerance policy for torture in alignment with the provisions of the Anti Torture Act twenty seventeen and in fulfillment of Nigeria's obligations under applicable international human rights instruments. The viral image of mister s Ware with a bandaged arm has been mischievously presented to mislead the public and stir unwarranted outrage. For the record, the bandage was part of his personal belongings at the time.
He honored the police's invitation prior to his arrest and detention in any case, Upon receiving the report that mister s Ware was later seen wearing the bandage while in custody, the Inspector General of Police promptly ordered an internal investigation to ascertain how he had access to it during detention, particularly in light of his consistent refusal to undergo medical
examination by the independent teams deployed by the police. This proactive step underscores the igp's unwavering commitment to transparency, professionalism and strict adherents to established custodial protocols. In the spirit of accountability and transparency, the Force promptly responded to the claims of brutality by dispatching a medical team led by the medical Director of the Mahammadu Buhari Police Hospital to conduct an independent examination. On the seventh of August twenty
twenty five. Mister Sirware declined the evaluation. A second medical team, this time led by the Force Medical Officer, was sent on the eighth of August twenty twenty five, and again access was denied by the suspect. These refusals are officially documented. While the police respect the individual's right to decline medical assessment, the record must show that the opportunity for independent medical verification was twice provided and twice rejected. Furthermore, his continued
detention is not arbitrary. It is anchored on a valid remand order issued by a competent court of jurisdiction. Every action taken by the Nigeria Police Force in this matter has been underpinned by legal authority devoid of malice, bias or political undertones. The Force urges the media, civil society actors and the public to exercise greater diligence, restraint and
professional responsibility in their reporting. Sensationalism, particularly when driven by those with personal vendettas against the police leadership, poses a clear risk to public trust and the integrity of ongoing investigations. The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the protection of human rights, respect for the rule of law, and the pursuit of justice without fear or favor. No individual, regardless of their status, influence, or social media reach, is
above the law. Further updates on this matter will be
provided as investigations proceed in accordance with due process. We had reported that the human rights activist and founder of Sahaa Reporters News Network, Emiele Saware, has been reportedly unhandled on Thursday early morning inside police cell by offices from the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after the journalist honored the invitation sent him from the office of the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated, but the media personnel working with Omi La Sware in
a statement on Thursday made available through the verified personal social media handles of Saware said that the police presented two petitions against Saware over alleged forgery and defamation of character, adding that some police officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit as early as six a m. On Thursday entered Saware cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged pretense to take the media publisher to court, but when the journalist demanded to see the charges against him, he
was allegedly handled roughly by a team of armed policemen. This Barrister adianju Deji petition the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tanubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP Kyode Eggbatoken for allegedly abusing his office by thus using his high ranking office in the Nigeria Police Force to settle
personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted to these allegations, but the force in a press release on Thursday afternoon apparently made statements in relation to the current matters involving the detained media publisher Omiele Saware, by insisting in stating in the press statement that the recent promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on merit are not selective, accusing an unnamed online platform of allegedly
sponsoring deliberate falsehood to tarnish the image of the force, while also calling on offices and men of the force to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP has warned that any police personnel court lobbying to get promotion will be made to face disciplinary action.

The human right activist and founder of Sahara Reporters News Network, Omila Saware has been reportedly man handled on Thursday early warning inside police cell by offices from the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after the journalist honored the invitation sent him from the office of the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated, but the media personnel working with Omila Sware, in a statement on Thursday
made available through the verified personal social media handles of Saware, said that the police presented two petitions against Sware over alleged forgery and defamation of character, adding that some police officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit as early as six a m. On Thursday entered Soware Cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged pretense to take the media publisher to court, but when the journalist demanded to
see the charges against him, he was allegedly handled roughly by a team of armed policemen. This barrister Addi andju Deji petitioned the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tenubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP, Kyode Eggbetoken, for allegedly abusing his office by thus using his high ranking office
in the Nigeria Police Force to settle personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted to these allegations, but the force in a press release on Thursday afternoon, apparently made statements in relation to the current matters involving the detained media publisher, Omiyele Saware by insisting and stating in the press statement that the recent promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on merit and not selective,
accusing an unnamed online platform of allegedly sponsoring deliberate falsehoods to tarnish the image of the force, while also calling on offices and men of the force to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP has warned that any police personnel court lobbying to get promotion will be
made to face disciplinary action. According to the post published via saware social media handles, the media team of the publisher said this morning at six a m. A police team led by a Chief Superintendent of Police from the IGP Monitoring Unit forcibly gained entry into omiena Saware cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja, claiming they were
taking him to court. The team of nine offices, including eight heavily armed personnel, handled Sawar roughly when he asked to see the charges and notify his lawyers, breaking his arm in the process, before taking him to another police facility,
the media team stated. In another post, the media said the notorious former SARS officer, DCP Akin fakaray Day presented two petitions to SAWARE from the illegal igp's office, one alleged forgery and the second written by Bukolayemis Kuttie, who was promoted to ACP because she's mistress, alleges criminal defamation.
So Morrey had before honoring the police invitation on Wednesday, said in a number of posts previous day that the IGP Monitoring Unit has scheduled my interview for tomorrow at eleven a m. Yet they have refused to provide a copy of the purported petition against me. It is now clear that their intention is to conceal the sinister plan of the Illegal IGP and continue operating in darkness. Despite this,
I will honor the invitation good, not alone. I will be going with a full house to all our revolutionary comrades. As always we moved together. Let every freedom fighter, every citizen of conscience, every voice of resistance assemble early tomorrow at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja. Revolutiono hegg Beetoken Musco. They say the illegal IGP spoke to day
and send fresh threats against us. We heard that the illegal Inspector General of Police, Coyode Eggbetoken has issued fresh threats. But even his voice betrays him. His voice was cracked by incompetence, weighed down by immorality, nepotism, favoritism, tribalism. It was worn thin by the burden of failed leadership. We are Nigerian citizens who have faced down tyrants, dictators and
power drunk men in and out of uniform. We've survived worse and we've conquered no amount of intimidation, propaganda or empty threats can shake our resolve or derail our desire
for a better, just and dignified society. Aluter Continuer. The Nigeria Police Force, in a statement signed and made available by the force spokesperson, DCP On Luminua had A Jobbi, said the Nigeria Police Force has observed with concern the growing wave of lobbying and unofficial requests directed at the Inspector General of Police and the Police Service commissioned by
certain offs seeking special promotions. This surge was triggered by the misinformation being spread by certain media platforms following the recent approval of accelerated promotions for a number of deserving
offices who have distinguished themselves through exemporary service. The Force wishes to categorically state that these accelerated promotions were not arbitrary, but were part of a well structured reward system set up by the police leadership aimed at recognizing offices who have demonstrated outstanding performance uncommon bravery, professional excellence and commitment to duty in the offices who benefited with those who
met the standardized guidelines for such accelerated promotion. The recent exercise does not signify the commencement of a general or indiscriminate special promotion scheme. In light of recent misleading reports sponsored by a particular online platform suggesting that the Police Force has initiated arbitrary promotions, the Nigeria Police Force firmly cautions the public to deat disregard such falsehoods. These reports are baseless, misleading and intended to undermine the integrity of
the force's promotion process. The NPF remains committed to transparency, merit and due process in all personnel decisions. Furthermore, offices are strongly cautioned against lobbying or attempting to influence the promotion process through unofficial means. Such conduct is unethical, undermines the principles of meritocracy and professionalism, and will attract severe
disciplinary action in accordance with extant laws and regulations. The Nigeria Police Force reiterates its commitment to a promotion system anchored on integrity, verifiable merit and honorable service to the nation. Offices and men are hereby urged to remain dedicated, maintain discipline and continue to discharge the duties with pride and distinction.
The Police stated human rights lawyer Barrister Addi Andjudjji, in a reaction to the photograph of Omili A Sare's hand wrapped with bandages of the police detention facility said, egg Beethoken the most useless IGP in the history of Nigeria. Police has ordered the detention of Sware for criticizing his incompetent and favoritism promotions and other numerous infractions. How do
you promote your personal staff arbitrarily? Just like that? The police ACKed twenty twenty in Regulation three hundred and sixty seven of the Nigeria Police Regulations forbids a police officer from settling personal scores and vendetta via the instrumentalities of their offices. But egg Beethoken is too shameless to care and continue to abuse his office. President Tanubu must sack
him now. Egg Beethoken must go. In an open letter and petition to President Bola Ahmed t Enubu, hadiyanju Deji said and in quotes that your Excellency, with utmost respect for the office you occupy, I write to draw your attention to the deepening rot within the niger Aerior Police Force NPF, which, if left unchecked threatens to completely erode public trust and destroy the very institution meant to protect us.
All.
Under the watch of the current Inspector General of Police, the force has become increasingly compromised by a pattern of conduct that has brought the institution into disrepute. The NPF has become personalized and weaponized, with growing reports of the force being used to settle personal scores and intimidate private citizens. The civic space has shrunk under a climate of fear.
Peaceful expression, association, and lawful dissent are now treated with suspicion or outright hostility by an institution that should protect these freedoms. More disturbingly, the men and women who serve in the police force continue to operate under conditions that are nothing short of inhumane. Reports of nepotism, favoritism, and ethnic promotions above competence and institutional framework has become order
of the day. Offices lack adequate welfare, modern equipment, proper housing and fair remuneration, resulting into the recent police protest. The morale of the average policeman is low, and yet they are still expected to perform optimally. A force that is deprived of dignity cannot enforce the law with dignity. The NPS urgently needs reform, but reform cannot happen under
leadership that undermines its very principles. It is in light of this that I respectfully urge you to act decisively by relieving the current Inspector General of Police of his duties and appointing a leader with a clear commitment to
constitutional order and human rights. Yours, faithfully, dejiadian U. Esquire Hunch newspaper reported that the Coalition of United Political Parties and the Arowa Youth Ambassadors have called for the immediate and unconditional release of pro democracy activist and journalist Amielle Sawarre following his recent arrest by the Nigeri Police Force. In separate statements on Thursday, both groups condemned the arrest, describing it as a violation of Saware's constitutional rights and
an abuse of police authority. National Secretary of CUPP Peter Amme said Sir wares detention flouts Section thirty nine of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression and opinion. He said the police had turned into an instrument of
oppression and call for accountability. We strongly condemned the arrest of Omiene Saware by the Nigerian Police and act that flouts Section thirty nine of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees the fundamental right to freedom of expression, including the freedom to hold opinions and share ideas without interference. This arrest is not only unjust, but also a disturbing misuse of police power, turning an institution meant to protect Nigerians into
a tool for oppression and personal vendettas. This arrest is a blatant to use of power and an affront to the principles of justice and accountability enshrined in the Constitution. The Nigerian Police own Nigerians a clear explanation for Sir Ware's arrest. Denying him his right to bail is indefensible and further exposes the misuse of authority to silence descent.
We demand his immediate and unconditional release and if the Inspector General believes there is a case to answer, Sir Warez should be charged to court without delay, he stated. The Arowa Youth Ambassadors, in a separate statement signed by their national coordinator, Yeheya Abdullahi, also condemned Sir Ware's continued detention and gave the federal authorities a seventy two hour ultimatum to release him or face protests across the nineteen
Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory. The group said Sir Ware's arrest was part of a pattern of harassment, alleging that state institutions were being misused to suppress descent. They warned that a continued clamp down on critics could
erode democratic values and civic freedoms. In line with this, the Arowa Youth Ambassadors hereby issue a seventy two hour ultimatum to the Nigerian authorities to release Saware or face nationwide protests in all nineteen Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory. We will mobilize peaceful mass action in solidarity with Saware and in defense of the fundamental rights of
all Nigerians to freedom of expression and assembly. We call on all progressive forces, civil society groups, student unions, labor movements and the general public to rise in unity against the growing tyranny and misuits of state power. Nigeria belongs to us all, and no government has the right to crush dissent in a democratic society. The statement added the police are yet to issue an official response to the
reason for Saware's arrest. Gingi ingim A Number is no doubt one of the states in Nigeria experiencing incessant and very high rates of kidnapping that in some cases do lead to the death of the abducted victims and killing of security operatives and some other persons around the scene
of the mostly monetary crimes of hostage taking for a ransom. Specifically, our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Innichhare, a wary federal road in a Nambra State, especially between Ober community and Ihiala town. As we gathered that most victims of kidnapping in the state are hard working small and medium sized business owners who most of whom struggled
out of poverty to become wealthy successful traders. This we learnt there may be no wealthy successful business owner along the Ihiala all who road left to be kidnapped or forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers. While in Ober, wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly and ransom in millions
of pain in silence to the kidnappers. According to members of the community, a young successful businessman was kidnapped recently at a location between the ober New Road and Old Road junctions, shortly after he visited his building construction site. While we also learned that some people in the state to report or contract their friends to kidnappers just to get a share from the ransom that will be paid afterwards or when such people have issue or dispute with
their friends or co traders. It may interest you to know that the Enambra State Police Command recently arrested a twenty four year old male suspect Muanaie Victor for allegedly luring his friend to be kidnapped by his criminal gang Innuli Ihiala local government area of the state, and they reportedly collected a ransom in dollars equivalent to five point three million narers with his gang members, just as government in a not too long distance time abducted a lawyer
and two other persons in in polgu Aguata local government area of Anambra. In addition to previous cases of kis knapping of the owner of De Porsche Club, Chief Phoebea Org by unknown gunmen after the gunmen killed numbers of persons along the new Ober Newi Road in Idomili South Local Government area of a Nambra State, with the number of those killed at the Porsche nightclub said to be seven, but one of the security operatives was beheaded and another had his foot cut off and made away by the
invading deadly kidnappers. This occurred shortly after a well known native doctor or which doctor chidos in nawangu Aka Aqua Okako Tiuuraki was kidnapped after his two personal aids killed in the vicinity of his hotel at ober community before the kidnappers effortlessly took him away and was released after
ransom in millions were reportedly paid, that not all. On May twenty one, twenty twenty two, shortly after Professor Chukuma Saludo was sworn in as governor, gunman abducted the lawmaker representing Aguata to constituency in the State House of Assembly, hok Chukua Koye a Koye also known as Hoki Dioke represented Soludo's state constituency Isoophia. A Koye was killed and
beheaded alongside his aid, Cyril chi Eboka. Six days after they were abducted along Aguilazigbo Road, Anaroka Local government area of the state and their heads and bodies dumped along
a roadside in the state. And in December twenty twenty four, another lawmaker in the State House of Assembly was kidnapped and killed and the victim, the lifeless body of the member representing Anicha North one constituency in the Nambra State House of Assembly, Justice Azuka, was found along the Second Niger Bridge with Azuka's lifeless body, said to be already decomposing, was found by a joint team of security operatives forty four days after he was kidnapped on December twenty fourth,
twenty twenty four along the Ugunarabanko Road in Inland Town, Anischa while returning home for Christmas. And the most prominent among the incessant cases of kidnapping in the state is
Martin's on Yekse, well known as Phish Magnet. The kidnapping and subsequent killing of the young small business owner sparked protest and public awareness like never before, with a social right activist, Martinsotzka Veri Dartmann coming to the state earlier on Sunday and led a protest walk on Tuesday, which was tagged Candlelight Procession March in honour of Phish Magnet, one of the most recent victims of the unabated deadly
monetary kidnapping business apparently thriving in an Ambra like some other states in Nigeria, with Veridartmund saying during the protest that it may be right to say that kidnappers killed Phish Magnet, but the actual killers are the administrative failures of Professor Charles Chukuman Soludo, the state Governor, Senator Bolah Ahmed Tenubu, the President of Nigeria, General Christopher Musa, the Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff, Kyode Eggbetoken, the Inspector General
of Police and the local government area chairman or mayor, and accused him of incompetence in managing security matters in the state and the country at large, while the Enambra State Police Command spokesperson Tochukua Kenger, who also joined the campaign, said the campaign walk was not only about Phish Magnet, but a bold statement collectively made by an Ambra youths in solidarity and in support of the efforts of the security agencies in the State against killings and other crimes.
After the protest, Veri Dagmann stated in a post that I am glad I found this online and like I clearly said, Phish Magnet was killed by Chukuma Charles Soludo. He was killed by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu. Ellipsis Dot rest in peace. My name's sake, Martin's on ye kca Fessenachi deer at phish Magnet, you send me a DM
and I didn't see it. Even if I had seen it, I wouldn't have responded because I have other priorities and a lot of issues going on, and I always think people give me things to have me advertise for them, so I don't accept gift. When I saw your post on tunde ed nut page, I actually commented something funny to let you know I saw it. You were gone now and I sincerely wish I had collected the fish from you, Ellipsis dot dot. I will like to also
beg Nigerians to support his business his legacy continues. It should not be a case where because he is no more and then people will stop the patronage. The office and businesses still operating follow at pish Magnet they deliver nationwide. Lolai finally did the advert for you and you won't even see it. Rest on King my namesake Tochukuakenga, the Nambra State Police Command spokesperson in a post also said it was a walk for peace, a stand against violent crime.
The use of a nambre came out in their numbers in a symbolic walk for peace, a collective stance against violent crime. It was not just a march for Phish Magnet. It was a show of solidarity with the Nigeria Police and other security agencies. A bold statement to condemn all forms of criminality. Together, they echoed a clear message. Enough is enough. Criminals can no longer be allowed to terrorize
an Amra's state in the Southeast region. The time has come for unity, vigilance and community driven action for a safer Anambra. An Amera's State Association of Town Union HASATU Youth President Comrade Kennicoli, as well as an Ambras State Commissioner for Youth Development, Mister Patrick Akeamber were also at the event, with almost all the protesters dressed in black and black matched from a Roma junction in the state
capitol to the Fish Magnet factory in Orca. The protest did not take place without an earlier warning issued against
forredarkmen by the police. The Nigeria Police Force had in a statement said the Commissioner of Police an Anna State Command CP iqia Oratugu f wcmn IPSPHD has issued a stern warning two social media influencer mister Martin's Vincent Dodds popularly known as Baridagmann, cautioning him against making statements or taking actions capable of inciting tension or breaching public peace
within the state. The CP noted the decision of the family of the late mister Professenachi Homnukera, Managing director of Phish Magnet Outlet, to publicly dissociate themselves from any proposed or ongoing candlelight procession or memorial gathering being organized in his name. They therefore pleaded that they should allow the family to grieve privately while trusting the authorities to do
their work. The CP emphasized that an Amorous State remains one of the most peaceful in the region due to the sustained efforts of the police and other security agencies in collaboration with critical stakeholders. He stressed that no individual, regardless of social status, would be allowed to disrupt the existing peace and security architecture of the state. C p Or tougu urged residents and visitors alike to go about their lawful duties without fear, reaffirming the Command's commitment to
maintaining law and order. He further advised social media uses and public figures to exercise restraint and avoid spreading misinformation or making inciting remarks. The Command further warns that any one found undermining public peace, either on line or offline,
will face the full weight of the law. We had reported that the Inambor State government under the leadership of Governor Charles Chukuma Soludo, has said that the state is currently in search of justice over the killing of a young and creative fish farmer, Martin's of Fessenachi on Ye k c well known by his business name as Fish Magnet, who was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday, the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five
at his residence in Zini Fitte village of Puno Inorca, the Enambra State capital. This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour Party candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, said that Anambra State is no longer safe, adding that people are being killed, sorted for their families to bury in silence, while the state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo
luks the other way with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically, Mogalu said, I must speak frankly, an Amber is no longer safe, not even in the state capital. Our people are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at Amchi no We South local government area. Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a
visit from the state government. Instead we see street renamings
and politic endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience, Mongolu stated, while the former lawyer to Namdi Cardu, the detained Biaffra agitation leader, Barrister afany g four, said the people of the state are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and painting absurd narratives on social media to glorify and justify the rising crimes in the state, saying the most frightening part the reckless energy our own people expend defending these killers.
When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you embolden them. When you justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave the gates wide open for the real external aggresses like armed herdsman whose invasion will come when we are weakest and most divided.

Okay, thank you everyone that we are seeing today starting against fish magnet. But this is a collective way of Indian number or the use of a number standing with the security agencies to make sure that the killings and a number is reduced to the level and are ready to walk with the security to provide on issues that conscience security. What are I seeing today is just a replica a collective will of Indiana bra and to make sure that the security is very bust.
Thank you.
And now what we're working then.
How we killed.
Me?

Qui bini A Nambra State government under the leadership of Governor Charles Chukuma Sludo has said that the state is currently in search of justice over the killing of a young and creative fish farmer, Martin's of fessinaci On y KC, well known by his business name as Fish Magnet, who was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday, the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five at his residence in Zini Fitte village of Puno in Orca, the
Enambra State capital. This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour Party candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, said that a Nambra State is no longer safe, adding that people are being killed sloughted for their families to bury in silence. While the state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo looks the other way with no sympathy, condolence, visitor statement. Specifically, Mongolu said, I must speak frankly, an Amberor is no
longer safe, not even in the state capital. Our people are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at Amchi Noi South Local government area. Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the state government.

When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you emboldenham when you justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave the gates wide open for the real external aggresses like armed herdsman, whose invasion will come when we
are weakest and most divided. A Nambra's State Commissioner for Information Law Mepher made the government position known on Sunday after he led other government officials on a condolence visit to the bereaved mother of the victim, who happened to be the woman leader of the Enambra's State All Progressives
Grand Alliance APGA missus ester on Ya KC. According to Punch newspaper, Homyaker, a son of the woman leader of the Enambra's State All Progressives Grand Alliance, was abducted by government and his residence in Zeniphied Community Opuno Orc, a South Local government area of Enamra State, in a late night attack on Saturday, July twenty sixth, and was subsequently killed.
In a press statement release on Sunday, the State Commissioner for Information Law Mepha sympathized with the deceased's family, assuring them that the state government is in search of justice while sustaining and strengthening security in the state. Mepher, who maintained that such a development is an affront to the Professor Chokuma Soludo Government's new security architecture, also expressed delight that the police are on the heels of the perpetrators.
The Commissioner was quoted as having stated this when he paid a condolence visit to the woman leader of the Enambra's State Apga ester On Yeakese. According to the statement, the statement read in part, the Enambra State Commissioner for Information, Doctor Law Mepher, recently paid a condolence visit to the woman leader of the Enambra State All Progressives Grand Alliance, Missus ester On Yeakese, whose only son, Martina fessenaci On yaks a prominent fish dealer in the state popularly known
as Phish Magnet, was kidnapped and murdered recently in Enambre State. Meher, who described the fish dealer's death as dastardly and heart wrenching, sympathized with the deceased mother, assuring her that the state government is with her in search of justice while sustaining
and strengthening security in an Ambra State. He maintained that such a death is an affront to the Solution Government's new security architecture and expressed happiness that the police are on the heels of the perpetrators and have issued a statement on the matter after recovering the vehicle in which they drove him away, adding that nobody can commit such a dastardly act in an Ambra's state and get away with it. So may his sole rest in peace. We'll
fight and get him justice. The mother will get justice, the family will get justice, and an amoror will get justice. It's a very painful loss for all of us and the government is always challenged when things like this happen because it's an affront to the new security architecture put in place by the Solution Government led by Professor Chukou Soludo.
The Commissioner said security in Anambra has significantly improved since Soludo launched a new security architecture on February eighteenth, twenty twenty five. He noted that troubled areas are now receiving proper attention and that anyone causing unrest must now face the government's security outfits Hagenekembrand, Operation Ludo Garachi and whoever is constituting a security challenge in Anambra now knows that they have the government's new security outfits hagenekembrand Operation Ludo
Garachi to contend with the statement read. Also on the condolence visit along with the Commissioner was the Chairman of the Noui South Local Government Area Van Georgia z e Oged. Meanwhile, the Enambra State Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force had said adjoint security operatives recovered the victim's vehicle which
the assailants used to escape the scene. In a statement, the police said the Commissioner of Police CP ikiye or Oatugu f w C MNIPS PhD has directed all tactical and intelligence units to redouble their efforts in tracking down the armed men responsible for the abduction and subsequent killing of Mista A Fessenachi Homnukera, the managing director of Phish Magnet Outlet, who was attacked in the evening of the twenty seventh of July twenty twenty five at his residence
in Zini Fitte Village, Opuno, Orca. This directive follows the recovery of the victim's Navy blue Toyota Corolla along a kulu Igarium road by the joint security team comprising of a number of vigilante operatives and the police. Preliminary investigations revealed that the assailants had trailed the victim before launching the violent attack, during which the deceased was shot in
the leg and forcibly taken away. He was later found lifeless, sparking public outrage and deep concern among residents of Orca. The CPE, while condemning them killing, assured that the criminal elements behind this cowardly act will be brought to book. He further stated that the policeo is to the family, the people of Nambra and the memory of the deceased to ensure that those responsible face the full weight of
the law. Further developments would be communicated accordingly. S P. Tochekuakenga police public relations officer an Ambra State Police Command stated in a press release on Wednesday, Labor Party governorship candidate doctor George Moglou said, my heart is heavy. I received with deep sorrow the devastating news of the brutal murder of mister Martin on Ye k C, the only son of missus esther on Yea k C. The Enambro state woman, leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.
Martin was a promising young man, an industrious fish farmer in his twenties, whose life was cut short in a most cruel and senseless manner, abducted from his family home in Orca, shot in the leg, egg and later found dead despite ransom being paid. This is not just a family's tragedy. It is a painful reminder that our dear state is in crisis. My thoughts and prayers are with misses on ye Keesi and her entire family in this moment of unimaginable grief. No parent should ever have to
bury a child, especially under such horrifying circumstances. I must speak frankly, Anambra is no longer safe, not even in the state capital. Our people are being slorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at Amchi no We South local government area. Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the state government. Instead,
we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience? This is not about political party. This is about human life. This is about the safety of our people, our mothers, our fathers, our children. As a father and a fellow Annambrarian, I feel this pain personally. As a leader, I cannot keep quiet. We must return empathy to governance. We must put humanity before politics. The enamer of our
dreams cannot be built on propaganda, silence and indifference. It must be founded on compassion, courage and the result to act, especially when it matters most. May the soul of young Martin on ye k c find rest and may his death not be in vain. Doctor George Mogulu, Labor Party governorship candidate in a Nambra State, stated this on Friday
August first, twenty twenty five. Former lawyer to Namdicanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra I p O B. Barrister Aphani he Giophour, in a statement said the brutal abduction and subsequent killing of Affair Tasinnachi on Yaqulu, popularly known as Fish Magnet, in orca an Amber State, is yet another chilling reminder that our homeland is bleeding
and we are running out of time to act. Just last week, social medium was awash with heart wrenching reports of how this promising young man was kidnapped in his own home at zini Fite community of Puno Orcasouth local government area during a late night invasion by gunman. He was whizked away and later gruesomely murdered despite an undisclosed
ransom being paid. The most devastating part, A Fessenachi, was the only son of his family, one life brutally snuffed out, a family shattered beyond repair, and a community thrown into mourning. I condemn this dastardly act in the strongest possible terms.
I call on the Governor of an Ambra State, security agencies and every community stakeholder to rise to the occasion, not merely to issue statements, but to act decisively, hunt down these murderers, bring them to justice, and urgently strengthen the security architecture to forestall further bloodshed. But let us not deceive ourselves. This is more than an isolated tragedy.
It is a symptom of a larger, deadlier disease that is eating deep into the soul of ana Igbo a disturbing trend where crime is romanticized, killers are shielded, and absurd conspiracy theories appeddled on social media to justify barbarity. Some people, hiding behind faceless accounts shamelessly defend these murderers.
Others spin reckless narratives like the laughable claim that the gunmen who killed over twenty innocent souls in arndizroguwa Fulani herdsman who must did Igbo language, What a tragic delusion? Must death knock at your door before you accept reality? And then there is the digital complicity, the growing chorus of voices on line excusing or minimizing the blood bath
ravaging IMO's State and other parts of the Southeast. Many victims remain silent, paralyzed by fear, while some communities, particularly in the Achigue axis, have literally been conquered by criminal gangs who now dictate life and death within the domains. The most frightening part the reckless energy our own people expend defending these killers. When you shield murderers because they
are your kinsmen, you embolden them. When you justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave the gates wide open for the real external aggresses like armed herdsman, whose invasion will come when we are weakest and most divided. Let this be crystal clear. Crime is crime, no matter who commits it. A criminal is not a hero. Anyone involved in these heinous acts must be decisively dealt with, without ethnic excuses, without sympathy, and without protection under any guise.
To my dismay, only yesterday I saw a report papot to be authored by alleged Umuaka community trying desperately to downplay the scale of kidnappings and killings in their area. I ask, what message are we sending to a people who now live under siege, a community where fear is the new normal. The hard truth is this security is
not the responsibility of government alone. It is a collective duty. Sadly, the conventional security architecture appears to have abandoned hapless citizens of imost state to their fate, either by wilful act of dereliction of duty, compromise or collusion. But we as a people cannot and must not abandon ourselves. This is a wake up call. If we do not unite against this evil now, it will consume us all tomorrow. It could be your brother, your sister, your only son. The
time to act is now. Sir Feannyegio for Esquire stated this on Saturday, August second, twenty twenty five. Nigeria President Bola armed Tanubu has called on online content creators to create jobs for others, saying the digital media is now a central driver of economic growth, while emphasizing that the youths are no longer waiting to be invited into the future,
that they are already building the future. Details of the President's statement, as made available in a news release signed by the presidential spokesperson, Bao on Anuga on Friday, reads verbatim below. President Bola Ahmed Tanubu on Friday called on young Nigerians active in the digital media space to harness
their platforms as instruments of national progress. He urged them to build businesses that create employment, produce content that reflects unifying values, and serve as positive catalysts for societal development. He emphasized the critical import ortance of verifying information before amplifying it. But the opening of the Progressive's Digital Media Summit, themed unveiling the critical role of new media in national development,
President Tanoubu said, your generation has recognized this moment. You are using digital tools to innovate, educate, and demand accountability. But as your influence grows, so must our collective sense of purpose and responsibility. I urge you to continue using digital platforms to advance our nation's progress. Build businesses that employ others, create content that uplifts and unites. Use your
influence to foster unity, not division. He commended the creativity and resilience of Nigeria's youth as he described digital media as a driving force of economic and social transformation. It is no longer merely an accessory to life, he said. From developing innovative platforms to building vibrant online community, you are demonstrating the determination that is redefining what is possible for this country. You are not waiting for the future,
you are building it. Digital media is now a central driver of economic growth, civic engagement and social change. It broadens representation for those previously unheard. The President said his administration is committed to supporting digital innovation through the National Digital Innovation Fund and policies that promote a thriving start up ecosystem. However, he warned practitioners to remain vigilant against
disinformation and cyber threats. Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Bajabia Mila praised digital media practitioners who have consistently stood up for Nigeria and projected the nation positively on the global stage. You are the vanguard of a reborn Nigeria determined to reach for the stars. Under President Tanoubu's leadership, our nation has begun its long delayed march toward greatness. The road may be challenging, but it is necessary, he
stated in a good will message. The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bao on Anuga, highlighted the significance of the summit. He noted that lessons from recent elections in countries like the US and Germany underscore how digital media have become crucial battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment for shaping pole outcomes. However, social media is not a fair battleground as a public square. It is often chaotic
and unregulated. Uses frequently disregard rules. Divisive content is rampant, Leap fakes and eye generated content are increasingly used against political opponents. Posts are driven by cliques, not true for accuracy. Misinformation spreads five times faster than official corrections on an Uga observed. He expressed optimism that the summit would address these challenges, focusing on strategies to about fake news and misinformation.
The summit convener, Schegan Dada, Special Assistant to the President on New Media, emphasized that in less than a decade, digital media has evolved from a tool of personal connection into a powerful engine for communication, innovation and influence. He stressed the importance of harnessing this force for the good of Nigeria while managing inherent risks such as privacy concerns and threats to social cohesion.
It is a privilege to address you and this important Digiti Media Summit. The theme of this gathering un villain the central role of new media in national development captures disperage of at times.
And that of our nation. Across Nigeria.
We are witnessing a surge of creativity and ambition as young Nagian and as digital media to share their voices.
And shape our society.
From developing new platform to building firebrands online communities, you are demonstrating ingenuity and a commitmental progress that is redifining what is possible for this country. You are that possibility. You are not waiting to be invited into the future. You are building the future. New media is no longer and as such strate to our national life. It is fast becoming a central driver of economic growth, civic engagement,
and social change. It is creating opportunities for millions of young people, reducing conventional barriers to participation in politics, an enabling broader representation of those who would previously have gone or hard.
Your generation has understood this moment.
You are using digital tools to innovate, to educate, and to demand accountability. But as this influence grows, so tumorst of our collective sense of purpose and responsibility. I own you to continue using digital platforms as instrument of national progress, but you should build businesses that employ others, create content that uplift those around you.
Use your influence to force the unity and not division.
We are in a world where this information spread easily. Verify before you amplify. Please let the digital space reflect the value that bind us together as a people. Honestly, compassionate, discipline and patriotism. Patriotism is not about slogans and politicood theater.
It is about words, we contribute to the common good.
Every gap and every app you design, every story you tell, every brand you build is a statement to.
The world about who we are and what we stand for as a nation.
This administration understands the important of this new frontier. That's where that is why we are making strategic investments in digital and FRA structure.
And broadband expansion.
We are committed to ensuring that aside study, internet is not the privilege for the view but a.
Right enjoyed the all egeriums.
We are also supporting innovation through the National Digital Innovation Fund and not turning the startup ecosystem. With policies that promote growth and reduced or necessary regulation. We will not lose focus on cybersecurity. Every Nigeria has a right to be protected in both the physical and digital domains.
And you are the young people of this country.
You remain the most important, the most important investment.
You are of a nation.
Your ideas, your energy, and your commitment to national development among Nagerian's greatest assets. So I challenge you to use your platforms not only for self expression, anger or retaliation, but from problem solving to build solutions that address our nation's needs to mentor others as we grow, and to promote digital literacy and accountability in every.
Corner of our society.
Let your leadership be defined by integrity. Let your digital footprints reflect the best of our nation. Let your actions speak of a generation that did not wait for permission to lead, stepped forward with your courage and with clerity. Nigerian's path of prosperity will be shaped by many forces.
Let yours inclusive and relevant, but.
None will be more positive than the choices made by those who dire to imagine and who processes the skill to build.
Just imagine, Yah, the back Hones are great female footballers.
They were down.
To zero before after.
Orliary soul unless see what we would have given up, But they came off with perseverance, determination and consistency to bring the glory to the entire nation. So let us move forward together like they did. Let's your creatiquity continue to inspire. Let your enterprise create opportunity, and yet your example show this generation it's not only ready for the future, we're ready to lead the future.
I pray may your walk be guided by wisdom.
Many your voices will lived others, and may your generation be remembered, not just for its potential, for the full achievements of the reality of our time.

The Royal Thai Army clarified that the Thai side strictly complied with the said agreement by implementing a ceasefire in the Thai Cambodia border area immediately upon the designated time, with sincere intentions and firm adhere rance to the mutual commitment agreed
upon by both governments. However, it is deeply regrettable that at the designated time, the Thai side continued to detect that the Cambodian side had used weapons to attack Thai territory at multiple points, which constitutes a deliberate violation of the agreement with the intention of destroying the system of mutual trust. The Royal Thai Army therefore condemns such actions, and the Thai side finds it necessary to implement appropriate
retaliatory measures under the legitimate right of self defense.

total of fourteen personnel casualties. Meanwhile, the Cambodian Ministry of National Defense has rejected the allegations made by a spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army who accused Cambodian forces of continuing to open fire despite the agreed ceasefire. Speaking at a press briefing, Ministry spokesperson Mainly Soaki To said the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces RCAF have been strictly implementing the
ceasefire agreement made between the two countries leaders. We strongly reject the claims made by the Thai military spokesperson who alleged gunfire exchanges and violations of the ceasefire agreement. She said, Cambodian forces have strictly implemented and will continue to strictly implement the Army Command's instructions and the ceasefire agreement, which
took effect at midnight. She added. A statement made available by the Office of the Prime Minister of Cambodia indicated that the Cambodian PM says there's no time to rest despite ceasefire.

He added that his top priority in recent days has been to find a swift solution to end the fighting in order to save lives, both
military and civilian in the conflict zone. The sooner the fighting stops, the sooner the affected people, especially the displaced, can return to their homes and resume their livelihoods, he wrote. At a time when the nation and our people are facing hardship, I may look a little older because of the gray hairs, he joked. Even if I look older and feel a little less strong than I did ten years ago, my determination to face these challenges remains unwavering.
Let's wait until the army and people are safe and the country has returned to peace, then it won't be too late to dye my hair. Sandek Hachamo Hussein arpad Teko Hansen, President of the Senate of Cambodia, has praised the cease fire initiative of US President Donald Trump, stressing that the achievement of the remarkable initiative has saved the lives of tens of thousands of people from the Cambodia

The call with Thailand is being
made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and cease fire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed in this war, but it very much reminds me of the conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a
successful halt. We have reported that Asia is apparently becoming a co continent of War's hope of achieving peace in the continent appeared slim since twenty twenty three, when fresh wars broke out in the Middle East Asia after Hamas attacked Israel, forcing Israel to launch a multi front wars
in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen. This occurred as Russia, that has parts of its territory in Asia, had in twenty twenty two launched a full scale war against its neighboring European country Ukraine, which The multiple wars have led to millions of deaths, with many in the world expecting

on Friday. While the Prime Minister of Thailand, Piton Tan Shinawat, who is currently on suspension, lane the cause of the war, on alleged powerful criminals in Cambodia, saying the conflict stems from the Thai government's efforts to crack down on call center crimes dismantling a network of immense financial interests linked
