In Darfur — where al-Fashir’s fall has tightened the RSF’s chokehold — women are being hunted, starved, and silenced as systematic rape and engineered famine are wielded as weapons while the world looks away.

Some people spend their lives chasing ghosts; I just needed to hear one more song to realize mine had been singing to me all along.

In a decisive, intelligence-driven sweep across six northern states, the Nigerian Air Force’s synchronized precision strikes under Operations Hadin Kai and Fanjan Yamma shredded insurgent logistics and eliminated senior fighters — a clear tactical win that nonetheless underlines how airpower, however effective, cannot by itself cure the deeper social and economic rot that fuels the violence.

At Camp Atterbury, the Pentagon is teaching a new kind of air combat—where pilots wear goggles instead of helmets, the aircraft cost a few thousand bucks, and victory depends on who can outfly chaos with a swarm of expendable machines.
