📍 Sweeping Name Changes in Tigray. The Ethiopian government, through its caretaker administration in Tigray, is aggressively pushing changes to names and political terminology across the region. The term “Woyane,” (meaning popular resistance) historically associated with Tigray’s struggle against oppression, is also being replaced in various places by “Maedot” (meaning “Vista”).
📍 Sudan’s Army Chief of Staff General Yasser Al-Atta stated the military is battling RSF mercenaries from Ethiopia, South Sudan, Niger, northern Somalia and Colombia. He further accused the UAE and Israel's Mossad of orchestrating foreign conspiracies against the country.
