DEVASTATING LANDSLIDE IN DARFUR CLAIMS OVER 1,000 LIVES

DEVASTATING LANDSLIDE IN DARFUR CLAIMS OVER 1,000 LIVES

Sudan is facing yet another tragic chapter as a devastating landslide in Darfur’s Marrah Mountains has wiped out the village of Tarasin, leaving more than 1,000 people dead. Triggered by torrential rainfall, the landslide leveled the community, sparing only one survivor. The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) confirmed the catastrophic loss and urgently appealed to the United Nations and international humanitarian agencies for immediate assistance in recovery and relief efforts.

This disaster comes against the backdrop of a worsening humanitarian crisis across Sudan. In North Darfur’s capital, El Fasher, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have intensified their siege, cutting off vital supplies and leaving thousands of civilians on the brink of starvation. Meanwhile, in South Darfur, an attack on a hospital during the RSF leader’s swearing-in ceremony killed dozens, further straining the already fragile health system.

The United Nations has raised alarms over the scale of the crisis, warning that nearly two-thirds of Sudan’s 50 million people now require urgent humanitarian aid. Ongoing conflict, mass displacement, food insecurity, and the collapse of healthcare services have left millions vulnerable, with limited access to relief due to active hostilities.

The combined impact of natural disaster and man-made conflict paints a dire picture for Sudan’s future. As the people of Darfur mourn their dead and fight for survival, the international community is being called upon to act swiftly. Without coordinated intervention, the country risks sliding deeper into famine, instability, and unimaginable human suffering.

COUNTRIES THAT WERE ONCE PREDOMINANTLY CHRISTIAN BUT ARE NOW MUSLIM-MAJORITY

INTRODUCTION Across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe and Central Asia, Christianity once flourished centuries before Islam emerged in the 7th century. Many regions that are today Muslim-majority were originally dominated by Christian populations, churches, monasteries, and theological centers that shaped early Christian doctrine. Over time, political change, military conquest, economic systems, social pressure, migration, and historical conflicts transformed the religious demographics of these regions. This article examines countries and regions that were once largely Christian but are now predominantly Muslim, using historical evidence and demographic estimates. EGYPT Egypt was one of the earliest and most influential centers of Christianity. The Church of Alexandria played a foundational role in Christian theology, and monasticism originated in the Egyptian desert. Before the Arab-Muslim conquest in 640 CE, Egypt was overwhelmingly Christian, with the ma...

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST In a move that has sparked widespread debate across the United States, President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. The decision, according to the White House, comes in response to a series of violent protests, vandalism, and reported lawlessness that have gripped parts of the city in recent weeks. Administration officials say the deployment is aimed at restoring peace and protecting federal buildings, businesses, and citizens, but critics argue it marks another instance of federal overreach and political showmanship. The announcement was made late Saturday following a high-level security briefing at the White House. In his statement, Trump emphasized that the federal government “would not sit idly by while chaos and violence undermine public safety.” The president pointed to reports of shootings, looting, and clashes between demonstrators and police as justification ...
