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, league fakes and I 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 Anuga observed. He expressed optimism that the summit would address these challenges,

focusing on strategies to combat fake news and misinformation. The summit convena Schegendada, special Assistant to the President on New Media, emphasized it 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.

Both sides mutually agreed an established area level coordination teams to jointly resolve immediate problems

and prevent recurrence. The meeting and discussions between the Chantherbury and Trat Border Defense Command ctb DC and Cambodian Military Region three conducted through the online system led by the commander of the Chanterbury and trap Border Defense Command. The meeting conclusions were in line with those in the First Army Area. Additionally, the Army spokesperson stated that the situation along the border has successfully maintained a cease fire since

before the meetings in all three areas. Major General Wintai Suberi Army spokesperson revealed that on the twenty ninth of July twenty twenty five, at ten thirty a m. Regarding the meetings and discussions between area level military unit commanders of both countries, it has been reported that the areas under the responsibility of the First Army Area namely Barafa Task Force and the Chantherbury and Trad Border Defense Command

CTBDC have successfully conducted meetings with the Cambodian side. As for the area under the Second Army Area Sour Honery Task Force, coordination is currently under way to determine a suitable date and time for both parties. Therefore, no discussions have taken place at this time. The Royal Thai Army will provide further information if the detailed results of the

discussions show any progress. The Second Army Area detains surrendering Cambodian soldiers and uphols humanitarian principles in care and medical treatment of wounded personnel. Today, the twenty ninth of July twenty twenty five, Major General Wintaisuberi Army spokesperson disclosed that the Second Army Area has reported the results of detaining eighteen Cambodian soldiers following the lash incident in Samtai Area,

Kantharallak District, Sisicid Province. The incident occurred after the Cambodian side employed heavy weapons and indirect fire weapons firing into Thai territory. The Thai side subsequently deployed the cavalry Battalion task forced to conduct counter operations and clear Cambodian positions. During these operations, several Cambodian soldiers surrendered without displaying any

threatening posture or behavior toward the Thai side. The unit proceeded to disarm and detain them according to proper procedures strictly adhering to international humanitarian principles. The detainees comprise eighteen personnel, one second lieutenant, two Master Sergeant's second class, twelve sergeant, two corporal and one lance corporal. Among them, one person sustained injuries, Sergeant Momriti, who suffered gunshot wounds to the

right hip and left arm. The Thai side subsequently arranged for his surgical treatment at the hospital. Additionally, two fatalities were discovered in the area. Currently, all Cambodian soldiers remain under detention at a secure location within the second Army area, where basic care provisions have been arranged, including clothing, food, drinking water and medical treatment as necessary. Care is provided in accordance with international military standards of practice and adheres

to international humanitarian principles. Subsequently, relevant procedural processes will be implemented regarding the deceased. The Thai side will proceed to repatriate the remains of the fall and according to international standards of practice for the dignified treatment of war dead. The Royal Thai Army continues to uphold human rights principles, international humanitarian law and the obligations of Thailand under the Geneva Conventions regarding the proper treatment of enemy soldiers and

the deceased. The Second Army Area reported that the Cambodian side violated the ceasefire agreement with disturbances and weapon attacks found in multiple areas. The Thai side therefore responded accordingly to the situation. Regarding the meeting between military unit leaders in the area, the army spokesperson revealed that efforts to proceed with the meeting continue. The Royal Thai Army received a report from the Second Army Area regarding the situation

along the Thai Cambodia border. After the Thai side complied with the ceasefire agreement after twenty four hundred hours and closely monitored and tracked the front line situation. Military units in the area reported Cambodian military operations in multiple incidents throughout the night until this morning. Disturbances and the use of supporting weapons firing into Thai territory were found in several areas including chong Boc Area, chong An Area, Santei Area,

Prasata Kwai Area, and Fu Maar Hua area. The Thai side responded to the situation by deploying frontline forces and

using supporting weapons to suppress the Cambodian military operations. Regarding this case, Major General Wintai Subri Army spokesperson issued a statement that following the joint agreement reached between the Thai government and the Cambodian government to seize military combat along the border area effective from twenty four hundred hours on the twenty eighth of July twenty twenty five, to create an opportunity for a peaceful atmosphere, reduce tensions, and promote

cooperation between neighboring countries, the Royal Thai Army clarified that the Thai side strictly complied with the said agreement by implementing a cease fire in the Thai Cambodia border area immediately upon the designated time, with sincere intentions and firm

adherents 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. The Royal Thai Army affirms that the Thai side did not use military force for aggression, but to defend against encroachment and maintain national sovereignty under

international rules. Additionally, the Army spokesperson disclosed regarding the scheduled meeting between military unit leaders of both sides, which was planned to be held this morning, that efforts continue to proceed with discussions between military leaders of both countries. It is currently known that the time has been adjusted to

ten o'clock hours and other details will be disclosed again. Today, the twenty ninth of July twenty twenty five, at eleven forty five a m. The Royal Thai Army received reports of personnel casualties from combat on the twenty eighth of July twenty twenty five, totaling three individuals as follows. One Master Sergeant first class Theoriod ce Jj from the third Infantry Battalion, thirteenth Infantry Brigade, Two Sergeant first class Apron

Songput from the third Infantry Battalion, eighth Infantry Brigade. Three Private Theoryod Krajangthong from the second Air Defense Regiment, second Air Defense Brigade. The Royal Thai Army pays tribute to the personnel who lost their lives in the performance of the duty to protect national sovereignty, and it will provide the best care for the rights and welfare of the families and descendants of these brave soldiers in honour of their sacrifice. As of the twenty fourth of July twenty

twenty five, there have been a total of fourteen personnel casualty. 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 Soakiter 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. Prime Minister Sandek Moha Borva the pad han Mane said this morning that he cannot rest even though the frontline situation has eased following the cease fire that took effect at midnight in accordance with the agreement reached between Cambodia and Thailand at the special meeting in

Malaysia yesterday. In a post on his social media platform, Sandek the Pade said that many critical tasks lie ahead, including monitoring the situation on the ground, supporting frontline forces, implementing appropriate policies for wounded and fallen soldiers, assisting hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and addressing the large scale

return of Cambodian workers from Thailand. 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 zones. The sooner the fighting stops, the sooner the affected people, especially the displaced, can return to their homes and resume their life 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 Hakamo Hussein arpad Teko Hansen, President of the Senate of Cambodia has praised the ceasefire 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 Thailand war. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to His Excellency President Donald Trump for his visionary initiative in creating a ceasefire and

peace between Cambodia and Thailand. This initiative is a tremendous achievement that has helped save countless lives in both Cambodia and Thailand, he said in a Facebook post last night. The Senate President also thanked the Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibraheim, who helped organize the meeting venue and facilitated this ceasefire agreement. This ceasefire and peace agreement is yielding positive and effective results,

he emphasized. Moreover, sandeg Teko hun Sen extended his gratitude to China for its support, as well as to all friendly nations that have endorsed this ceasefire agreement. I also wish to thank the people of Cambodia and Thailand, along with both Nations armed forces for their steadfast support of

this peace process, he concluded. Cambodia Ministry of Information reported that the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training said approximately two hundred three thousand, seven hundred and six Cambodian workers returned from Thailand between July twenty fourth and July twenty seventh, twenty twenty. Notably, one hundred and twenty thousand, four hundred and thirty eight Cambodians returned just yesterday. Today, more than one hundred and fifty thousand additional workers are expected to

return from Thailand to Cambodia. Over this five day period, nearly four hundred thousand Cambodian workers will have returned. If

the fighting continues, even more likely to come back. We had reported that the Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia National Ministry of Defense have both denied firing the ten projectiles that destroyed civilian houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city in Now on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed early in the morning on Sunday that fighting

continued through Saturday night to Sunday morning night. Despite President Donald Trump of the United States US statement on Saturday that he has spoken on phone with both the Prime Minister of Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand, asking the two parties to agree on immediate ceasefire, and failure to do so, according to Trump, US will not

make any business deal with both countries. In his words, Trump said, we happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on trade with both countries, but do not want to make any deal with either country if they are fighting, and I have told them so. The call with Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and ceasefire 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 hault. We have reported that Asia is apparently becoming a 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 neighbouring European country Ukraine, which The multiple wars have led to millions of deaths, with many in the world expecting

an end soon. But while many in the world hoped for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war broke out during the week on Thursday in the Southeast Asia between Cambodia and Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai Army of fourteenth Infantry Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a landmine at huaiban Chong and Ma nan Yuen District, Uben Ratchathani Province within the Thai Cambodia border area, causing seba injury to one Thailand soldier while four other soldiers sustained

some level of injuries, making the acting Prime Minister of Thaian funtham we Chaiai to recall the country's ambassador from Panom Pen and expelled Cambodia's ambassador to Thailand, leading to heavy military confrontations starting next day morning, which Cambodian news agency on Saturday reported that tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians, including children, pregnant women and the elderly, have been forced to flee the military aggression along the border areas including Priya, Vihir,

Odominchi and Persit, and The Royal Thai Army also on Saturday released a video of its men hoisting the Thai flag at a location and stated that the Thai national flag was raised atop Fu Maqueya following Thai military operations to assault and seize the Fu Maquaa area, where it said the Cambodian forces had been heavily positioned, adding that the area was successfully captured during the evening of war

on Friday. While the Prime Minister of Thailand, Piton Tan Shinawat, who is currently on suspension, blane the court cards 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 to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Sandek Mohaborva thapade han Mane, in a statement, called on Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of Thailand living in Cambodia, adding that after the Prime Minister of Malaysia and the rotating Chairman of Asian Hawai Brahem intervened in the matter on Thursday, both countries agreed to a cease fire slated to start on Friday by twelve

a m. But an hour after Malaysia Prime minister told him that Thailand has agreed to the ceasefire, Thailand rescinded its decision and continued military actions against Cambodia and the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Lieutenant General Mali Sokita, in an Operation Updates on Saturday, said that Thailand has continued to expand its military, including its infantry forces heavy

weaponry into Cambodia territory. Quindi Ni, Nigeria on Monday staged an uncommon welcoming ceremony to appreciate and celebrate the country women football team, who may be apparently correct to be described as winning Queens of Africa as they landed at the Namdi Azukiway International Airport in Abuja after the super Falcons of Nigeria defeated the host Lionesses of Morocco by three to two in a breath taking and thrilling final football match held in Robert, the capital city of Morocco

on Saturday, marking the tenth triumph of the Super Falcons on the continental stage, after the previous triumphs in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations waf CON consecutively in nineteen ninety eight, two thousand, two thousand, ZI two, two thousand and four, two thousand and six, twenty ten, twenty fourteen, twenty sixteen, twenty eighteen and recently for the twenty twenty

four Africa Continental Women Tournaments. This many top government officials, most especially governors and ministers like the governors of Kaduna Uba Sani, Governor of Kuara Abdul Rahmen Abdulrazak and i Hoo State Hobuzo Dema, gathered for hours at the Nandi Hazukiwai International Airport, Abuja waiting the super Queens of Africa to arrive and after welcoming the women football icons home, the governors led the Amazing Stars of Africa to the

West Africa Country's presidential villa known as Asso Rock, where President Bulla aremed To Nubu conferred on the twenty four Super Falcons football players and the eleven member technical team the national honors awards of Officer of the Order of Niger O n and gifted them houses each in Abuja with one hundred thousand dollars EAS each for the twenty four women players, which total sum is approximately equivalent to three point six billion nyers based on one thousand, five

And in addition, the President gifted the eleven member technical team of the Super Falcons fifty thousand dollars each which approximately represent a total of eight hundred and twenty five million niers, bringing the total cash gift to four billion,

four hundred and twenty five million niers. During the presentation, President Bola Ahmed said he never wanted to watch the match because he did not want to have high blood pressure, adding that the Super Falcons kept him hungrier as his wife, the First Lady of Nigeria Holaremi Tanubu was at the kitchen preparing his food while watching the match, emphasizing the First Lady almost abandoned his dinner because of the football match and the Super Falcons on Monday could be seen singing,

praising and dancing with the First Lady, hon Remi Tanubu by thus reversing the negativity of the popular viral song of naw your Mamma be this to nah Mamma be this to accept the First Lady as the mother of all in the nation, which could be recalled that earlier in the year, specifically in the month of March, the First Lady, Senator hol Remi Tanubu was at the Dome Events Centre in Asada in Delta State as part of her Renewed Hope Initiative project, and during her visit, a

video clip of nigeria nursing students rejecting the First Lady as the mother of all in the nation went viral and became a popular song that was remixed by many to their desired tastes and lyrics. After the viral clip showed, the events master of Ceremony had introduced hon Remi to Nubu as everyone's mother, her common title for first ladies

in the country. The nursing students refused to accept the designation and when the MC declared, nah mamma be the translated us, this is our mother, the students responded in unison, now your mamma be this translated us this is your mother,

signaling their rejection of the title. According to Bao on Anuga, the spokesperson to the Nigeria President on Media, President Bola Tanubu has conferred national honors on all twenty four players and the eleven member technical team of Nigeria's senior women's national football team, the Super Falcons, following their historic victory at the twenty twenty four Women's Africa Cup of Nations

He also directed the allocation of one three bedroom apartment to each player and technical crew member in the government's renewed Hope Housing scheme. The President and approved a cash award of the naira equivalent of one hundred thousand dollars to each of the twenty four players and

fifty thousand dollars equivalent to each technical team member. You have inspired millions, especially young girls, who now see proof that the dreams are valid and achievable. You have inspired me too, and it's great for a nation to have assets that are the hope of today, tomorrow, and the day after. You represent that hope. You ignited that hope, and we will continue to encourage you, the next generation and other generations after you. President Tanubu sed amid cheers

from the jubilant team. The President recounted the emotional moments of the final match, noting how the team's performance lifted the nation's spirits and united Nigerians from all walks of life. Your victory represents more than a sporting accomplishment. It is a triumph of courage, determination, discipline, and consistency. Honestly, I didn't want to watch the match. I didn't want to have high blood pressure, but people came in and turned

my TV on that channel. When it was two to zero, I got very offended and restless, but I was still watching with the spirit of resilience, determination and courage, and after that penalty, my strength was lifted and I believe that of the nation was lifted too. But you almost made me angrier, hungrier because your mother, the First Lady, was in the kitchen nearly abandoning my dinner. She doesn't watch the game except when the girls are playing, and at the end of the final whistle, it was joy

all over the country, he said. The President assured the team of his administrations continued support and commitment to sports development, pledging that the government would invest further in women's football and youth talent development across the country. Your story is a story of hope, and in this era of renewed hope, we celebrate you not just as champion of Africa, but

The First Lady for the team's continued success and shared an earlier conversation with President Tanubu about the team's bright future as world champions. I told mister President this morning that you were going on to win the World Cup, and he thought I was too ambitious. But Ajabbade, the team captain,

just seconded that and that is possible, he said. Super Falcons captain rashiditt Agabade said the victory was for the team and for every Nigerian girl who dreams of achieving greatness. Today I stand before you not just as the captain of the Super Falcons, but as a proud daughter of Nigeria, carrying the dreams, resilience and spirit of our great nation.

be on this stage someday. Ajibade called for continued support from the government and stakeholders to elevate Nigeria's global standing in women's football.
