At least 72 Sudanese artisanal miners killed in strike, rights monitor says

Oct 11 - At least 72 artisanal miners were killed in an airstrike in northern Sudan on Saturday, rights monitor Emergency Lawyers said on Sunday, in the second such incident in several months.Emergency Lawyers blamed the Egyptian air force for the strike, a claim Reuters could not immediately verify. The Egyptian military did not comment on the incident and Egypt's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Images shared on social media and by local rights groups but not verified by Reuters show dozens of bodies strewn in rubble and others wrapped in funeral shrouds, and miners describing an airstrike on the area.Emergency Lawyers said such a cross-border attack would violate international law.Northern Sudan has seen an influx of artisanal miners and makeshift gold mines as the country's ongoing conflict disrupted other sources of livelihoods and gold became the key cash source for both warring parties. Experts and those in the sector say much of that gold is smuggled into Egypt.The war between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has seen an increased frequency of mass-casualty events, particularly as drone warfare becomes the primary mode of fighting.On Friday, some 31 people were killed in a drone strike on a displacement camp in an army-controlled area of Sudan's Blue Nile state, one of the war's frontlines, according to the United Nations.

Senator Methu: Gachagua in US proves that DCP is not a one-man-show

Nyandarua Senator John Methu speaking in an interview on Citizen TV, April 12, 2026Nyandarua Senator John Methu has opined that the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) is a formidable political party that does not only depend on the influence of its leader Rigathi Gachagua.According to the legislator, DCP bears massive influence in Kenya’s political landscape and will only become a herculean political vehicle in the run up to the 2027 General Election.He dispelled claims that the party is only run by Mr. Gachagua, saying that his ongoing tour in the United States is enough proof that DCP can still run without its don.“It is also an opportunity to prove to Kenyans that our party is not a one-man show,” he said while appearing on Citizen TV’s Sunday Live.He added that DCP is founded on well-informed principles that have maintained its prominence since its formationon May 2026.“Our party is an institution, has structures. Everything that was meant to happen to DCP is happening. We are receiving defectors from many places, we are continuing with our one-term rallies, nothing is stopping,” he added.He added that the party will continue endorsing Gachagua as its presidential candidate in the 2027 polls, vowing that he will not change tack on supporting the candidate chosen by the United Opposition.“We have given him as our presidential candidate.

Man dies after tiger attack at wildlife park

A man has died after being attacked by a tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, police have confirmed.The man was seen entering the tiger enclosure at the park near Doncaster just before police were called at 13:35 BST on Saturday.South Yorkshire Police said the tiger then attacked the man and he died at the scene. The animal was uninjured and remained in the enclosure following the incident – but the park was closed and will remain shut for the rest of the weekend.Foreign Secretary and MP for Doncaster North Ed Miliband said he was “deeply saddened” to hear of the incident and sent his “thoughts and deepest condolences to the family of the individual who died.”He added he was “very grateful to the emergency services and staff of the park who responded.”Yorkshire Wildlife Park said in a statement: “Our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the family and loved ones of the person who has lost their life.”Police said the man’s family were being supported by officers. “Our thoughts are with them at this distressing time,” the force said in a statement.It added: “We are aware of videos circulating online and we would encourage people not to share this footage.”Earlier on Saturday, in a statement posted on its website, the park said its emergency response procedures had been “immediately activated” and it was “working closely with the authorities to ascertain exactly what happened”.Karmelle Pelham, 39, from Worksop, had been enjoying a family day out when park staff told them the site was being evacuated.She said she had heard what sounded like “gunshots” and an air ambulance had circled above.She praised park staff for their handling of the incident, saying it had been “very, very well organised”.Lee Pitcher, MP for Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, expressed his gratitude to emergency services for their response.In a statement shared to social media, he said he was “deeply saddened to hear about the tragic incident that has taken place at Yorkshire Wildlife Park today”.“As ever, I offer my heartfelt thanks to the emergency services for their speed and professionalism, and I know I speak for everyone in Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme when I say our thoughts are with all of those affected by today’s events.”Yorkshire Wildlife Park opened in 2009, with its Land of the Tigers area opening in 2011.The purpose-built two-acre reserve is home to Amur tigers, an endangered subspecies with around 500 left in the wild.Photos of the enclosure on the park’s website shows a high walkway for visitors and fencing above the section where the tigers can roam.

Iran says US response to proposal to reopen Strait of Hormuz is insufficient

Iran sent seven conditions to the US for reopening the Strait of Hormuz but the American response has been "insufficient", the head of the Supreme ⁠National ​Security Council told state media.Mohsen Rezaei said Washington had approached Tehran through three channels over the past two months – Pakistan, Qatar and Iraq – asking Iran to present its proposals for reopening the strategic waterway.“About two weeks ago, we communicated seven conditions to the Americans, stating explicitly that until these conditions are met, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened to them and no negotiations will take place,” Mr Rezaei said.“The Americans have now responded. While they have accepted some of our conditions, others remain unresolved.“We are no longer in the process of responding to the Americans. They have given their reply, and we consider it insufficient. They must clarify the issues that remain ambiguous to us.” Tehran effectively blocked the strait by attacking ships and laying mines after being attacked by Israel and the US in February at the start of the Iran war. The US has retaliated by imposing a blockade of Iranian ports. Iran and the US exchanged proposals to end the conflict through mediators during the UN General Assembly at the end of September. Sources close to the Iranian delegation and western diplomats told The National at the time that Tehran offered no concessions fr...
