Guinea’s government has reportedly been overthrown in a suspected military coup after a military officer broadcasted a statement

In the statement, the official says “we will no longer entrust politics to a man, we will entrust it to the people, we come only for that, it is the duty of a soldier to save the country”.

It’s believed the country’s President Alpa Conde has been arrested and removed from power, with the constitution, the entire government and all other institutions suspended.

Yup, that’s a coup …

Looks like the end of Condé.

The return of the military takeover is both terrifying and a sign of the times. #Guinea #Conde

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
