Álvarez Eyes More Glory At Atlético: “Many Years Ahead”

Álvarez Eyes More Glory At Atlético: “Many Years Ahead”

September 30, 2025 4:41 pm

Julián Álvarez has made it clear: his ambition has only grown since joining Atlético Madrid. Fresh from a move that he believed would give him more space to become his best, the Argentine forward insists he still has much to win — and feels every bit of the hunger that brought him to Spain’s capital.

Since his transfer from Manchester City in the summer of 2024, Álvarez has been vocal about one core aim: to reclaim the sensations of winning regularly, both with club and personally. He spoke candidly about his desire to continue growing — not only as a …

Carrick Open To United Return As Amorim’s Job Under Review

September 30, 2025 4:22 pm

Manchester United are considering a major shake-up, with Michael Carrick reportedly open to returning to the club as managerial pressure mounts on Ruben Amorim. With United’s recent form falling short of expectations, the club hierarchy is said to be drawing up contingency plans, including a shortlist of candidates who could step in should Amorim be dismissed. 

The whispers surrounding Carrick’s potential return have reignited conversations about stability, experience, and club loyalty. Once a midfielder known for his tactical intelligence and calm under pressure, Carrick has long been admired by both supporters and old colleagues. Now, with United’s campaign failing to …

Merson: Jackson’s Exit Leaves Palmer Struggling At Chelsea

September 30, 2025 2:52 pm

Paul Merson, veteran Premier League pundit, has sounded the alarm over Chelsea’s attacking struggles, arguing that the departure (or absence) of Nicolas Jackson has left Cole Palmer bereft of a key partner. According to Merson, Jackson not only benefitted from Palmer’s creativity — “Palmer makes Jackson” — but also, crucially, pushed Palmer to thrive in return. Without that dynamic, Chelsea’s forward play has become increasingly static. 

Jackson has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since early February, an absence that Merson believes has had a major impact. Prior to the injury, Jackson’s energetic runs stretched defenders, creating space for Palmer …

Carvajal Hit With Two-Game UCL Ban Over Headbutt

Carvajal Hit With Two-Game UCL Ban Over Headbutt

September 30, 2025 2:23 pm

Real Madrid has been dealt a blow in its Champions League campaign as veteran right-back Dani Carvajal has received a two-match suspension for headbutting Marseille goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli. The disciplinary ban, announced by UEFA’s control and disciplinary body, stems from an on-field incident in Madrid’s opening group match. 

The red card came late in the match when tensions boiled over inside the penalty area. Carvajal, in a heated moment after a contested aerial duel, appeared to lean forward and make contact with Rulli’s face. After VAR review, the referee issued a straight red for violent conduct.

While the sanction is …

Congo military court sentences ex-president Kabila to death in absentia

Congo Court Condemns Ex-President Kabila To Death In Absentia

September 30, 2025 1:07 pm

A military tribunal in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday handed a death sentence in absentia to former President Joseph Kabila, finding him guilty of a series of grave offences, including war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Presiding officer Lieutenant-General Joseph Mutombo Katalayi detailed the convictions, which spanned treason, murder, sexual assault, torture, insurrection, and other acts of violence allegedly committed during Kabila’s nearly two-decade rule. The ruling marks a dramatic turn for a leader who once wielded near-absolute power over Africa’s second-largest country.

Kabila, who reluctantly stepped down amid mass protests in late 2023, has been living mostly …

September 30, 2025 12:20 pm

A humanitarian convoy led by Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa came under violent attack on Sunday night, leaving 17 soldiers kidnapped and dozens injured, according to government officials.

President Noboa posted photographs of shattered windscreens on social media after the assault, blaming what he described as “armed protesters who resist Ecuador’s progress and chose violence.” He added that …

Madagascar President Dissolves Govt After Deadly Youth Protests

Madagascar President Dissolves Govt After Deadly Youth Protests

September 30, 2025 11:50 am

Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina has dissolved his government following days of mass protests over worsening power and water shortages, unrest that has left at least 22 people dead and more than 100 others injured, according to the United Nations.

The demonstrations, led largely by young people in the capital Antananarivo, erupted last week as frustrations boiled over at deteriorating living conditions. By Monday, the rallies had grown into the most serious challenge to Rajoelina’s rule since his re-election in 2023 — and the largest wave of unrest the island nation has faced in years.

Crowds gathered at the city’s main …

Israeli PM Netanyahu Issues Apology To Qatar On Attack

Israeli PM Netanyahu Issues Apology To Qatar On Attack

September 30, 2025 11:14 am

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally apologised to Qatar after an unprecedented Israeli airstrike in Doha killed a Qatari serviceman and several Hamas members earlier this month, an incident that triggered global outrage and raised new diplomatic tensions in the Gulf.

The September 9 strike targeted senior Hamas leaders who were in Qatar for U.S.-backed ceasefire talks. Instead, the missiles struck a residential neighbourhood housing members of the Hamas negotiating team. At least five Hamas operatives were killed alongside Qatari security officer Badr Al-Dosari, while Hamas’s top leadership narrowly escaped.

The attack was the first known Israeli strike on …

Afghans Cut Off From World As Taliban Imposes Blackout

Afghans Cut Off From World As Taliban Imposes Blackout

September 30, 2025 7:17 am

For millions of Afghans, the digital lifeline that tied them to the outside world went dark overnight. Phones fell silent, screens froze, and families scattered across continents suddenly found themselves unable to reach one another.

The sweeping internet blackout, reported late Monday, is being described as the most extensive communication shutdown since the Taliban seized power in 2021. It has left a nation of 43 million in near-total isolation, deepening fears that Afghanistan is sliding back into the iron restrictions of the group’s previous rule.

For Afghans abroad, the rupture has been devastating. “From yesterday there is no communication with …

Moldova’s Vote Shows How Europe Can Resist Moscow

Moldova’s Vote Shows How Europe Can Resist Moscow

September 30, 2025 7:02 am

When Moldovans went to the polls this weekend, the contest was never just about local politics. It was about whether Europe’s smallest and poorest nation would drift deeper into Moscow’s orbit or keep straining toward the European Union.

The answer came with the pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity securing a narrow but decisive victory over the Patriotic Bloc, a coalition openly aligned with Russia. The governing party’s share — just over half the vote — was smaller than its landslide of four years ago, yet it was enough to maintain power and deliver a symbolic blow to Russian influence …

Kenya’s Garment Workers Face An Uncertain Deadline

Kenya’s Garment Workers Face An Uncertain Deadline

September 30, 2025 5:46 am

Joan Wambui smooths a seam with practiced hands, but the rhythm of her work no longer guarantees tomorrow. For six months the 29-year-old has stitched sportswear bound for the United States; her modest wage now underwrites a household that includes a young daughter, two siblings in college and an elderly mother. Should a quarter-century trade arrangement lapse, she fears the fabric of their lives will begin to fray.

The African Growth and Opportunity Act — a law that for 25 years has allowed certain African goods duty-free access to the U.S. market — is set to expire on Tuesday. What …
