26 Christian worshippers slaughtered in Easter Sunday attacks across Nigeria.

Churches burned.
Women and children abducted.
The world stays silent.

Wholesale slaughter. Muslims butchering mon-Muslims. No news. No coverage. It’s expected. Silent affirmation and sanction of Islamic brutality.

Noticing the Muslim slaughter of Christians is ‘Islamophobic’ says the United Nations

The U.S. military has sent MQ-9 Reaper drones to Nigeria, a U.S. defense official reportedly told The Associated Press, as fears are growing of a renewed insurgency by the terrorist group Boko Haram.

The drones were deployed after 200 U.S. troops arrived in Nigeria last month to provide training and intelligence. Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, is battling a complex security crisis, especially in the north of the country.

A spokesperson for AFRICOM, the U.S. Africa Command, told the AP that U.S. troops “are working alongside their Nigerian counterparts to provide intelligence support, advisory assistance, and targeted training in support of the Nigerian Armed Forces.”

Among the most prominent Islamic militant groups active in Nigeria are Boko Haram and its breakaway faction, which is affiliated with the Islamic State and is known as Islamic State West Africa Province, or ISWAP.

HARARE, Zimbabwe — HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe has detained the leading opponent to planned constitutional amendments that would extend the rule of the country’s 83-year-old president and make the post elected by Parliament, not the people. Former finance minister Tendai Biti was set to appear in court on Monday.

It’s the highest profile detention yet of critics of the attempt to allow President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his rule, due to end in 2028, by two years. Police in recent months have banned meetings or arrested people for gathering to express opposition.

Biti leads the Constitutional Defenders Forum, a group campaigning against the amendments. CDF spokesman Jacob Rukweza said Biti and programs director Morgan Ncube are accused of holding a public meeting without notifying police. They were detained on Saturday in the eastern city of Mutare.

WASHINGTON — One of the most dangerous places for Christians worldwide is Nigeria. More than a decade of deadly violence has drawn international scrutiny, prompted U.S. military action, and fueled debate over whether Africa’s most populous nation is facing genocide.

In an exclusive interview with CBN News, Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, pushed back on claims that Christians are being systematically exterminated.

“I don’t think so,” Tinubu offered repeatedly when asked whether genocide is taking place. Instead, she described the violence as rooted in long-standing regional conflicts, poverty, terrorism, and political instability — particularly as the country approaches an election year in 2027.

Lake Victoria is Falling to a Green Toxic Beast

pgnewser February 18, 2026 0

The world’s largest tropical lake, Lake Victoria, is going through changes that most people now fear might be permanent. The lake is losing fresh water ground to the spread of a green patina that brings with it toxins rendering the water contaminated. The lake touches the lives of millions of people in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The culprit seems to be nitrogen, phosphorus, fertilizer runoff, and sewage.

World’s largest tropical lake turns into a ‘deadly zone’: Africa’s Lake Victoria is turning green, toxic, and unstoppable – timesofindia

The waters of Lake Victoria have turned an unsettling green. And it seems, it’s not just a passing bloom this time. Local fishermen barely flinch anymore. What was once occasional now appears almost permanent. The world’s largest tropical lake is changing, and people who rely on it are feeling the effects every day. Millions in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda drink from it. The lake has shaped lives for generations, but now, scientists warn that its recovery might be impossible. At least, on any timeframe humans might hope for. The green isn’t just cosmetic; it’s toxic and spreading.

What’s really turning the Lake Victoria toxic

Experts say it’s the usual culprits: nitrogen, phosphorus, fertilizer runoff, and sewage. Rain washes them into the lake, big blooms form, and Cyanobacteria thrive. What started as a few blooms decades ago now looks like a permanent feature. Satellite images show a lake that glows green in certain bays, sounds haunting. Some locals try to avoid the scum, but the toxins hide in clear water too. A study from 2021 measured nitrate levels in rivers feeding the lake. The Nyando River reportedly dumps over 6,000 kilograms a day during peak rains. Nzoia River, around 22,000 kilograms daily. Fertilizer, manure, sewage. All of it. Experts say these numbers are huge that is enough to trigger explosive algal growth. That growth sucks oxygen from the water leads to the death of fish, and in addition to this, the deeper parts of the lake are reportedly turning into dead zones.

How the lake changed over time

Photosynthetic pigments rose steadily from the 1920s. Zooplankton populations crashed around the 1960s, and Haplochromine cichlids disappeared in the 1980s. The lake didn’t suddenly fall apart experts note that what we see now is the long-term result of human activity in the catchment area, land use changes, damming, and rainfall shifts, all of which played a part.Microcystis and Dolichospermum dominate now. Both produce microcystin, a liver-damaging toxin, which suggests the blooms aren’t static. Researchers also found hundreds of uncharacterised cyanobacterial genes. But locals can’t rely on spotting green scum to know if the water is safe, which might look harmless and still be dangerous.

What leads fish to fight for survival

Fisheries support hundreds of thousands of tons annually, and a $600 million export industry. Now, oxygen fluctuations and food web collapse put catches at risk. Fish processing factories reportedly worry about consistency. Seasonal die-offs that were once “normal” are now systemic. Experts fear the lake could hit a point where it simply won’t bounce back.Lake Victoria isn’t just green, but warning us. Human activity, population growth, and climate interactions might have pushed it past a line we can’t easily reverse.

Sudan has moved to the forefront of the global humanitarian landscape, now hosting the world’s largest internal displacement crisis. According to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR), approximately 14 million people have been forced from their homes within the country.

These staggering figures in Sudan are part of a broader global surge in forced displacement. UNHCR estimates suggest the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide exceeded 122 million by the first half of 2025.

Nigerian Christian Congregation Kidnapped by Islamists

pgnewser January 22, 2026 0

More Nigerian Christians were attacked by Islamists who appear to have the protection of a government that forbids allowing Christians to defend themselves from these attacks. This time, 172 Christians were kidnapped when their church was overrun by Islamists in Northern Nigeria. The Nigerian government has failed to respond to this latest assault.

Blurb:

… As Reuters reported this week, more than 170 Christians were kidnapped during church services in Kaduna, with over 160 still missing. Armed Muslim gangs stormed churches, abducted worshippers en masse, and vanished—part of a long-running campaign of terror concentrated in northern Nigeria. The Nigerian government continues to deny systematic persecution, even as churches are emptied and entire Christian communities disappear.

Only when Donald Trump publicly condemned the persecution—and ordered strikes against Islamic State targets on Christmas Day—did the issue briefly pierce the fog of indifference. Otherwise, the killings continue in near-total silence.

42 DEAD: Islamic Terrorists Torch Market, Open Fire in Niger State Rampage, Women and Children Not Spared– gellerreport.com

At least 42 people were slaughtered and others abducted when armed bandits stormed a crowded market in Niger State, northwest Nigeria, opening fire indiscriminately, burning stalls, and looting food as terrified civilians fled. Witnesses say women and children were not spared and that security forces were nowhere to be seen as raids spread across multiple villages, with some estimating the death toll as high as 40. The massacre underscores the accelerating collapse of security across northern and central Nigeria, where mass killings and kidnappings have become routine despite repeated military operations. President Bola Tinubu has ordered authorities to hunt down the perpetrators and rescue abductees, but the bloodshed comes just weeks after more than 300 children were kidnapped from a Catholic school—grim proof that banditry is spiraling out of control while the state struggles to protect its people.
