New Kano CP pledges improved security around Falgore forest

The newly-appointed Kano State Commissioner of Police, Mr Rabiu Yusuf, has promised to enhance security in areas around the notorious Falgore forest in Doguwa Local Government Area of the state.

Activities of armed bandits had become a source of concern to communities living around the forest.

Yusuf made the pledge when he took over from his predecessor, Mr Abbati Maigari, who had been promoted to the rank of DIG in charge of Logistics and Supply.

He said the measure was necessary in order to flush out criminals that were terrorizing people in the area, using the forest.

He said the command would also partner with residents of Kano to get necessary information on criminals and their hideouts for necessary action.

“We are going to extend our hands of friendship to the various communities in the state so as to enhance our work”, he said.

Earlier, Maigari advised the new commissioner to focus on the activities of hoodlums in the Falgore forest.

“The major challenges you have now is the activities of kidnappers and other armed bandits at the Falgore forest axis,” he said.

He called on officers and men of the Command to extend the same cooperation they had given him to his successor.

He thanked the Government and people of the state as well as the Emirate Council for the support they had given him during his short stay as Commissioner of Police in the state.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime.
