EXNIGERIA NOW. 🇳🇬 Nigeria has become the Yugoslavia of West Africa: too centralized, too divided, too unequal and too unstable to keep pretending that one political structure can serve every people fairly forever. My answer is not war. My answer is democracy. Referendums, not rifles. Self-determination, not repression. Peaceful successor states, not endless crisis. Biafra, the Yoruba Southwest, the Niger Delta, the Middle Belt, the North and other regions should have the right to debate their constitutional future openly and, where there is a genuine democratic mandate, decide it by peaceful referendum. I support the right of the people of Biafra to campaign peacefully for a free Republic of Biafra. I support the same democratic principle for all peoples of Nigeria. No ethnic revenge. No forced population movements. No civil war. Any transition must protect minorities, property rights, trade, energy networks, freedom of movement and economic cooperation across future borders. A post-Nigerian order should be built around a common West African market so political self-determination does not mean economic isolation. Nigeria should not remain one country merely because changing borders is uncomfortable. Borders exist for people, not people for borders. Break BRICS. Break the failed centralization. ExNigeria now — peacefully. Let the peoples decide their future. A freer Biafra, a freer Yoruba region, a freer Niger Delta and a more peaceful West Africa are possible through democracy, negotiation and referendums.

Abu Dhabi Uses Artificial Intelligence to Falsify the Media Narrative on Sudan A new report by Anthropic, developer of the Claude AI system, has exposed a coordinated #UAE-linked influence operation targeting Sudan and UN accountability mechanisms. The findings go far beyond a conventional social-media propaganda campaign: they describe an organized system for manufacturing narratives, impersonating independent institutions, laundering state messaging through supposedly neutral voices, and drafting testimony intended for international bodies. Published on September 10, 2026, Detecting and Countering Misuse of AI examines malicious uses of Claude identified by Anthropic’s threat-intelligence team between December 2025 and August 2026. The Sudan-related material appears on page 46 and, most extensively, on pages 78–80 under case study GTG-84002, explicitly titled: “Disrupting a UAE-directed influence operation targeting the Muslim Brotherhood, Sudan conflict, and UN accountability mechanisms.” According to Anthropic, a single operator used Claude to manage a sustained campaign through an AI persona called “Deadshot.” A central doctrine file repeatedly instructed the system across hundreds of sessions. Claude was therefore not simply used to draft occasional posts; it became part of an operational architecture combining narrative production, political framing, source concealment, target profiling and the preparation of material for political and international audiences. The operation worked through five interconnected channels: Fake-account network: roughly 300 inauthentic influencer accounts were created and managed across social-media platforms. NGO front: the operator cloned the identity of a real Swiss organization and used the front to publish anti-Sudan human-rights material as if it came from an independent institution. Ghostwritten UN testimony: complete statements were authored and drafted for two individuals for the 62nd session of the UN Human Rights Council, with explicit instructions that neither statement mention the UAE. Target dossiers: the operation researched and built detailed profiles on 18 Members of the European Parliament, as well as prominent journalists and other figures, with the apparent aim of shaping or attacking their positions. “Counter-accountability dossiers”: files were compiled on UN Special Rapporteurs who had criticized UAE conduct in Sudan, showing that the campaign targeted not only the public narrative of the war but also individuals and mechanisms involved in international accountability. Anthropic’s most significant finding concerns attribution. Although the campaign was deliberately structured to conceal its origins, the company states that its investigation “linked it with high confidence to UAE government officials.” The central doctrine file also named senior UAE officials as intended recipients of the operation’s products, while the operator funded the social-media network used to amplify them. The report further shows how the campaign sought to manufacture the appearance of independence. The amplification network was centrally funded and coordinated, yet internal reporting described its supposed “independence” as its “greatest strategic asset.” In other words, concealing state direction was itself a core operational objective. That strategy extended directly to Sudanese identities. Anthropic found that the operator borrowed the identity of a real Sudanese human-rights organization and ghostwrote complete UN testimony for two named individuals, allowing material serving a party to the Sudan conflict to reach the UN disguised as the views of independent local witnesses. The draft’s broader political interpretation is that such material reinforced the RSF- and UAE-aligned narrative; Anthropic itself states more narrowly that it served “a party to the Sudan conflict.” Full report: anthropic.com/threat-intelli…

We cannot be beggars in the international community when we have abundant resources. We must have the leverage—and even bring them to the point where they beg us. — Namibia Pres. Nandi-Ndaitwah

One of the most important benefits Ansar Allah gained from their control of Bab al-Mandab is that they are now closer to Somalia... Yemen will not allow Israel to implement its plans in Somalia.

Which port does Ethiopia wants to use a Naval fleet in? Port Sudan or in Eritrea? Ethiopia can not be trusted. A country that is hosting African Mal Union to be the one that wants to wage war on other "African" countries! May ALLAH bless Nigeria.

#SecurityAlert Potential Ethiopian Naval Deployment Along Somalia’s Red Sea Coast Intelligence sources within the region indicate that approximately 1000s personnel affiliated with the Ethiopian Navy are reportedly expected to commence operations in the near future at selected locations along Somalia’s coastline facing the Red Sea. According to the intelligence, the personnel have reportedly been trained, equipped, and prepared for deployment by a European country. The reporting further indicates that the majority of the financial resources supporting the operation are allegedly being provided by countries actively engaged in lobbying and diplomatic efforts to secure international recognition for Somaliland. The intelligence currently does not establish whether the Federal Government of Somalia has been formally notified of the reported deployment, nor whether the Somali authorities have provided authorization or consent for the presence and activities of Ethiopian naval personnel along Somalia’s coastline. The reported development carries significant regional security and strategic implications. According to the intelligence assessment, Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea could perceive the establishment of an Ethiopian military or naval presence along Somalia’s Red Sea coast as a direct strategic threat to their national security interests. Such perceptions could trigger countermeasures, including increased military deployments, enhanced intelligence cooperation, naval repositioning, or the strengthening of competing regional security partnerships. The development is also taking place against the backdrop of Ethiopia’s longstanding strategic interest in securing reliable access to the Red Sea. Israel has recently publicly argued that Ethiopia should obtain access to the Red Sea. Any external political, diplomatic, or security support that facilitates such access could further accelerate Ethiopia’s maritime ambitions and contribute to an increasingly militarized regional security environment. From a Maritime Security perspective, the situation is particularly sensitive. Any significant expansion of Ethiopia’s naval or military footprint along Somalia’s Red Sea littoral could affect the existing regional balance of power, maritime domain awareness, coastal surveillance, freedom of navigation, port access, and the security of critical maritime routes. The issue is further complicated by the intensifying strategic competition surrounding the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world's most important maritime chokepoints connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and the wider Indian Ocean. Control, access, and security around this corridor have become increasingly contested amid broader regional instability and competition among state and non-state actors. The potential reaction from Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea is consequently a major concern. If these states interpret the deployment as an externally supported attempt to alter the regional military balance, the resulting security dilemma could accelerate regional militarization and increase the risk of miscalculation, confrontation, and a wider maritime security crisis. #Somalia #Ethiopian #REDSEA #Babulmandab #Maritimesecurity #security #Counterterrorism #HOA #EarlyCalls

In my 30 years in this line of work, I never posted a picture with heads of state or celebrity politicians, but for Somaliland, I’ll make an exception. The sixth president of the Republic of Somaliland Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi is visiting Washington, asking for recognition of his nation’s self-determination, independence and sovereignty. Even though neighboring Somalia receives billions of dollars in foreign aid, Somaliland that cannot access such money until it is recognized as a state has a GDP per capita that’s 30 percent higher than Somalia. Somaliland is stable and democratic. Somalia is a mess.
