Yamal Aims Higher — “I Dream of Winning Many Ballon d’Ors”

September 10, 2025 9:20 am

At just eighteen, Lamine Yamal is already talking like a legend in the making. In a recent appearance on the podcast Resonancia de Corazón, the Barcelona prodigy dropped a line that captured the sport’s imagination: “I don’t dream of winning one Ballon d’Or—I dream of winning many of them.” His words were not boastful so much as quietly assured, an honest appraisal of understanding his own ability and the weight of his ambition.

Yamal followed it with a clear-eyed admission of personal responsibility: “I believe I am a player capable of achieving that, and if I don’t achieve it, …

Kane Defends Bayern Move After Owen’s Trophy Critique

September 9, 2025 1:06 pm

Harry Kane has responded with calm assurance to criticism from Michael Owen, who recently downplayed the significance of the striker’s move to Bayern Munich. Owen had suggested that winning titles in Germany lacked meaning compared with triumphs in England, sparking debate about Kane’s career choices.

Speaking this week, the England captain acknowledged Owen’s stature in the game but made clear that his own priorities differ. “I heard it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion,” Kane said. “Obviously he is a Premier League great and an England great as well, so I’ll respect him as a person. But ultimately, as he …

Paris Stocks Edge Higher After French PM’s Resignation

September 9, 2025 10:50 am

The Paris stock market opened higher on Tuesday following the resignation of Prime Minister Francois Bayrou’s government, which fell after losing a confidence vote in parliament. Despite the political shake-up, investors appeared largely unfazed, suggesting that markets had already priced in the prospect of instability.

The CAC 40 index of French blue-chip stocks rose 0.2 per cent in early trading. In comparison, the Frankfurt DAX slipped 0.1 per cent, while London’s FTSE 100 posted a modest 0.1 per cent gain. The muted market response reflects both anticipation of Bayrou’s ouster and confidence that France’s political system will contain the crisis …

September 9, 2025 10:40 am

LAGOS — Nigeria’s aviation watchdog has warned airlines against routine delays and cancellations that have become a flashpoint for passenger frustration, vowing to impose sanctions and publicly name carriers that flout regulations.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said Monday that it would no longer tolerate what it called “deliberate negligence” by operators, including a pattern of airline staff abandoning stranded travelers at airports.

“Passengers are not to be left at the mercy of circumstances,” NCAA spokesperson Michael Achimugu said in a statement posted on X. “The practice of staff disappearing during disruptions, leaving our officers to manage angry crowds, …

Drone Strikes Plunge Sudan’s Capital Into Darkness

September 9, 2025 10:28 am

Drone strikes by Sudan’s powerful paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), struck critical infrastructure in and around Khartoum this week, triggering widespread blackouts across the capital and further straining a nation already battered by civil war.

Local media and witnesses said the attacks late Monday targeted both military and civilian sites, including the Wadi Seidna military zone, the Al-Markhiyat electricity substation in Omdurman, and areas surrounding the Al-Kalakla district, where a military factory is located.

Footage circulated on social media showed transformers at the …

Israel moved swiftly on Tuesday to impose sweeping restrictions on Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank after a deadly shooting in Jerusalem left six Israelis dead and dozens more wounded.

Over 120,000 Evacuated As Floods Ravage Central Pakistan

September 9, 2025 10:08 am

Pakistan — Under a blistering late-summer sun, families huddled in tents and open fields Monday after record floods forced more than 120,000 people from their homes in central Pakistan. What they carried with them was little more than the clothes on their backs; what they lost was nearly everything else.

The mass evacuation, backed by military helicopters and rescue boats, unfolded overnight in Jalalpur Pirwala, a city in eastern Punjab province where weeks of torrential monsoon rains combined with dam releases from India swelled rivers to dangerous levels. Officials said nearly 2.2 million people across Punjab have been displaced since …

September 9, 2025 9:45 am

The United Nations is appealing for $179 million in emergency aid for survivors of the earthquakes that struck eastern Afghanistan late last month, urging governments to put politics aside as winter looms over communities already battered by conflict and poverty.

The twin earthquakes, which hit on the night of Aug. 31 into Sept. 1, killed more than 2,200 people and left tens of thousands homeless across remote mountain districts. Entire villages were reduced to rubble, and fears of landslides continue to haunt families camping in makeshift shelters.

“This is a moment where the international community must dig deep and show …

Prologue

Sometimes, silence is louder than music.

The air trembles. Forty thousand voices chant a single name, their cries rippling like thunder across the night sky: “P-Square! P-Square! P-Square!” In the darkness, a stage waits. Spotlights circle. Screens flicker. Anticipation grows heavy enough to feel in the bones. For years, this moment had been ritual — the Okoye twins stepping out side by side, …
