• 🇺🇸🇳🇬 US TO WITHDRAW ABOUT 200 TROOPS FROM NIGERIA BY SEPTEMBER  The United States is preparing to withdraw about 200 military personnel from Nigeria by late September, according to reports citing US military officials.  Smaller teams of American trainers and intelligence personnel are expected to remain in Nigeria as Washington continues its security partnership with the country.  The US deployment, which began earlier this year, focused on intelligence, surveillance, training and counterterrorism support.  US Africa Command Commander, Gen. Dagvin Anderson, said many American troops had already been withdrawn following a May operation in the Lake Chad Basin that killed Abu Bilal al-Minuki, described by US officials as a senior Islamic State leader.  Anderson said the operation significantly weakened ISIS leadership and stressed that intelligence cooperation with Nigeria would continue.  The Pentagon has described the deployment as a model for supporting African partners through a limited military footprint rather than a large permanent presence.  The planned withdrawal therefore does not mean an end to US-Nigeria security cooperation, as Washington is expected to maintain intelligence and training support.  #USNigeria #Nigeria #USMilitary #Security #CounterTerrorism #LakeChad #AFRICOM #Terrorism #NigeriaNews #BreakingNews #Morganable
  • Bangladesh is considering joining the Mecca Pact, a defence agreement involving Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan.  The move could reshape Dhaka’s foreign relations, particularly with neighbouring India, as Bangladesh seeks to strengthen its security ties with key Muslim-majority countries.  However, Bangladesh has not made a final decision on joining the pact.
  • Catastrophic flash flood has swept through communities along the Nepal-Tibet border, killing dozens of people and leaving hundreds missing.  The disaster struck after a massive ice-and-rock avalanche from a glacier collapsed into the Lhende River in Nepal’s Rasuwa district, triggering a powerful surge of water and debris downstream.  A magnitude 4.4 earthquake was recorded in the region shortly before the flood, raising questions over whether the tremor contributed to the glacier collapse. However, authorities say investigations are still ongoing and the exact trigger has not been conclusively established.  The flood destroyed homes, roads, bridges and other infrastructure, while several hydropower projects were also affected.  Rescue operations are underway in both Nepal and Tibet, but damaged roads and difficult mountainous terrain are hampering efforts to reach affected communities.  Authorities are continuing to search for missing people and assess the scale of the destruction.
  • THE MUSIC WORLD MOURNS A LEGEND  DOLLY PARTON DIES AT 80  American singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman and philanthropist Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80.  The legendary country music icon died peacefully in Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, her family confirmed.  Parton leaves behind a remarkable six-decade legacy in music, film, business and philanthropy. She was celebrated worldwide for timeless songs including “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You.”  Beyond entertainment, she was widely admired for her humanitarian work, particularly her Imagination Library literacy programme, which has provided millions of books to children.  Her death marks the passing of one of the most influential and beloved figures in American music and popular culture.  Dolly Parton was 80.
  • Naja’atu Muhammad Denies Sending Delegation to Apologise to Pantami
Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad has denied reports that she sent a delegation to Gombe State to apologize to former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, over remarks she previously made about him.  The reports had suggested that Naja’atu Muhammad had taken steps to reconcile with the former minister by sending representatives to Gombe to convey an apology over comments she had earlier made concerning Pantami.  However, she has rejected the claim, describing the report as inaccurate and stressing that she did not authorized any delegation to visit Professor Pantami for such a purpose.  The development comes amid continued public interest in the previous remarks attributed to Naja’atu Muhammad and their implications, particularly given Professor Pantami’s prominent position in Nigeria’s political and public affairs.  Naja’atu’s denial therefore seeks to clarify the circumstances surrounding the alleged meeting and to distance herself from reports suggesting that she had initiated an apology through intermediaries.  She maintained that members of the public should not rely on unverified reports concerning the matter, urging them to distinguish between confirmed information and claims circulating through informal channels.  Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, a former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, remains a prominent figure in Nigeria’s public discourse, particularly on issues relating to technology, digital transformation, governance and national development.
The alleged delegation to Gombe had generated attention because of the personalities involved and the suggestion that it represented an attempt to resolve differences arising from Naja’atu Muhammad’s earlier comments.  With her latest clarification, however, Naja’atu has disputed the account that she sought to apologize to the former minister through representatives.  The controversy underscores the importance of verifying reports involving prominent public figures before they are circulated, particularly where claims of apologies, reconciliations or political engagements are concerned.
  • Tinubu Campaign Team Donates ₦600 Million to JIBWIS National Headquarters for Fortune University Project  The campaign team of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has donated ₦600 million to the National Headquarters of the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa’iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) in Jos to support the development of Fortune University, a university project being undertaken by the organisation.  The donation was announced during the JIBWIS National Meeting held in Jos on Sunday, where prominent political leaders and other senior personalities were in attendance.  Among those present at the gathering was Senator Barau I. Jibrin, Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, alongside the governors of Kano, Jigawa and Kebbi states, as well as other senior government officials and dignitaries.  The financial support is intended to contribute to the development of the university project at the JIBWIS National Headquarters in Jos, which the organisation has identified as part of its efforts to expand educational opportunities.  The presentation formed part of the activities surrounding the national meeting, which brought together JIBWIS leadership, scholars, political figures and other stakeholders.  The donation also highlights the growing engagement between political actors and religious organisations in supporting educational and community-development initiatives.  Fortune University, being developed under the auspices of JIBWIS, is expected to become an important educational institution in Jos upon completion.  #Jibwis #Sheikhjingir #Izala #Jibwisnationalheadquarters

Ons Jabeur’s bold moves on the court have redefined women’s tennis, blending creativity, resilience, and fearless shot-making.

She is one of the most dynamic players on the WTA Tour.

She captivates audiences with her unpredictable strategies and stunning finesse.

Her unique approach, marked by daring drop shots, clever angles, and relentless determination, has propelled her to the top of the game, making her a trailblazer for Arab and African athletes.

The Rise of a Tennis Trailblazer

Born on August 28, 1994, in Ksar Hellal, Tunisia, Ons Jabeur’s journey into tennis was anything but conventional.

Growing up in a country where football dominated the sports scene, tennis was not the most accessible path.

However, with unwavering determination and a supportive family, she pursued her passion despite the limited training facilities and resources available in Tunisia.

Jabeur’s first major breakthrough came at the junior level when she won the 2011 French Open girls’ singles title, becoming the first Arab woman to claim a junior Grand Slam trophy.

This victory hinted at her potential, but transitioning to the professional tour would demand even greater resilience.

Without the same financial backing or infrastructure enjoyed by players from traditional tennis powerhouses, Jabeur had to navigate a difficult path to reach the top.

A Game Built on Creativity and Courage

Ons Jabeur’s style of play sets her apart from the rest of the WTA Tour.

Unlike players who rely primarily on power and baseline rallies, she thrives on unpredictability.

Her ability to mix powerful groundstrokes with delicate drop shots, sharp angles, and sudden changes in tempo makes her one of the most creative players in the sport.

Ons Jabeur’s Bold Moves On The Court

One of Jabeur’s signature weapons is her drop shot, a tool she uses with extraordinary precision.

Opponents often struggle to anticipate her next move, as she seamlessly switches between aggressive hitting and subtle finesse.

Her variety makes her a nightmare to play against, as she can outthink as well as outplay her competition.

Beyond her shot-making, Jabeur’s willingness to take risks is what truly defines her.

Many players hesitate to attempt unconventional tactics in high-pressure moments, but she embraces them.

Ons Jabeur’s Bold Moves On The Court

Whether facing a break point or serving for a match, she does not shy away from bold choices, which often lead to spectacular results.

Breaking Barriers for Arab and African Tennis

Jabeur’s achievements extend beyond individual success.

She has shattered barriers for Arab and African athletes in a sport historically dominated by players from Europe, North America, and Australia.

Before her rise, no Arab woman had ever reached the heights she has in the WTA rankings, nor had any African woman in the Open Era made it to a Grand Slam final.

Her historic runs to the Wimbledon and US Open finals in 2022 were defining moments, not just for her career but for an entire generation of aspiring tennis players from regions with little representation in the sport.

She proved that talent, combined with relentless determination, can overcome any geographical or financial disadvantage.

Jabeur’s impact is evident in the growing popularity of tennis in Tunisia and across Africa.

More young players are taking up the sport, inspired by her journey.

She understands her role as a trailblazer and embraces the responsibility of paving the way for future athletes from her region.

Ons Jabeur’s Bold Moves On The Court

Grand Slam Finals and the Pursuit of Glory

Despite her remarkable achievements, Jabeur’s quest for a Grand Slam title remains unfinished.

Her runs to the 2022 Wimbledon and US Open finals, as well as her return to the Wimbledon final in 2023, were moments of immense pride but also heartbreak.

She came agonizingly close to lifting a major trophy but fell just short.

However, these losses have only fueled her hunger. Each setback serves as motivation to improve, refine her game, and return stronger.

Unlike some players who struggle to recover from such disappointments, Jabeur uses them as stepping stones toward future success.

With her fearless mentality and ever-evolving skills, it is only a matter of time before she secures the Grand Slam title that her talent and hard work deserve.

Overcoming Challenges With Resilience

Jabeur’s journey has not been without adversity.

She has battled injuries, endured the mental pressures of being a pioneer, and faced the expectations of an entire region.

The weight of representing Tunisia, the Arab world, and Africa is immense, but she carries it with grace and determination.

Her ability to maintain a positive mindset, even in the face of disappointment, is a testament to her resilience.

Ons Jabeur’s Bold Moves On The Court

Unlike many athletes who struggle with the pressures of professional sport, Jabeur remains grounded, finding joy in the game and embracing the journey rather than just the destination.

A Role Model Beyond Tennis

Beyond her on-court achievements, Ons Jabeur is a symbol of hope and perseverance.

She is actively involved in promoting tennis in Tunisia, advocating for better facilities, and inspiring young athletes to dream big.

Her success has already changed the perception of what is possible for players from her region, and she continues to use her platform to drive positive change.

Jabeur’s humility and warmth have made her one of the most beloved figures in the sport.

Whether engaging with fans, supporting fellow players, or giving back to her community, she embodies the spirit of sportsmanship and leadership.

The Future: A Grand Slam Champion in the Making

As Ons Jabeur continues to compete at the highest level, her ultimate goal remains clear: to win a Grand Slam.

Every year, she edges closer to this dream, refining her game, learning from past experiences, and strengthening her mental and physical resilience.

With her daring style, relentless spirit, and unwavering belief in herself, she has all the tools necessary to claim a major title.

Whether at Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, or the Australian Open, her name is bound to be etched into the history books sooner rather than later.

In conclusion, Ons Jabeur’s bold moves on the court have not only redefined tennis but also broken cultural and geographical barriers.

She has proven that success in the sport is not reserved for those from traditional tennis nations but is attainable for anyone with talent, hard work, and an unshakable belief in themselves.

As she continues to chase her dream of Grand Slam glory, one thing remains certain, Ons Jabeur is not just making history; she is changing the game itself.
