Over 200 people lost their lives in Nigeria on Sunday, June 14, 2025, as bandits stormed a village in Benue State, reigniting long-standing violence in the region.

In response, Nigerian stars like 2Baba, Falz, Odumodublvck, Mr Macaroni, and others are speaking out, urging the government and key stakeholders to take immediate action and restore lasting peace.

The ongoing conflict in Benue is driven by land disputes between Fulani herders and Tiv farmers, worsened by desertification, population growth, and deep-rooted ethnic tensions.

So far in 2025 alone, over 270 people have been killed and thousands displaced.

According to data provided by analyst Kabir Adamu, head of Beacon Security and Intelligence Limited, 1,043 people were killed in Benue between May 2023 and May 2025.

The Trump administration has admitted 49 white South Africans to the U.S. as refugees, citing “government-sponsored racial discrimination,” according to a senior State Department official. ⁠
⁠
Most of the group are Afrikaners from farming communities. President Donald Trump ordered their resettlement through an executive action titled “Addressing Egregious Actions of the Republic of South Africa,” claiming they face violence and economic exclusion. ⁠
⁠
The move comes amid an ongoing dispute over South Africa’s land reform efforts. In 2017, an audit found that white South Africans—who make up about 7% of the population—own roughly 75% of individually held farmland.⁠
⁠
A 2025 law allows limited expropriation without compensation, which the Trump administration framed as targeting whites. South African officials say the policy is intended to address the legacy of apartheid, during which the Afrikaner-led government denied Black South Africans land rights, political representation, and basic freedoms under a formal system of racial segregation that lasted from 1948 to 1994.⁠
⁠
South Africa’s government rejected Trump’s refugee designation, calling the persecution claims “completely false” and politically motivated. “There is no data at all that backs that there is persecution of white South Africans,” said Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola. ⁠
⁠
Critics in the U.S., including Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, questioned why this group was prioritized while refugee programs for people fleeing war and famine remain suspended. ⁠

Bandits now feed our babies to their dogs — Zamfara lawmaker cries out

A member of the House of Representatives from Zamfara State, Rep Aminu Jaji has decried the worsening security situation in his constituency, painting a harrowing picture of bandit attacks, mass kidnappings, and general lawlessness that have left communities devastated and residents displaced.

Briefing journalists at the National Assembly, the lawmaker, who previously chaired the House Committee on National Security and Intelligence, said over 200 attacks have been recorded in communities across Kaura Namoda Local Government Area alone, including Dayo, Banga, Gabaki, Korea, and Madura.

“Just two days ago, 60 people were abducted in Banga. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 30 million naira. Out of those abducted, 10 were killed, and the fate of the remaining 50 hangs in the balance,” he said.

In the aftermath of the deadly Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22, 2025—which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians—Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made strong statements signaling a dramatic shift in India's security and foreign policy stance. Speaking with urgency, he declared, “Our time is limited. Goals are big,” implying that the country may soon abandon traditional, predictable responses in favor of bold and unexpected actions. His remarks have raised speculation that India is preparing to adopt a new strategy that could surprise not only Pakistan but also the global community.

Following the attack, India has taken several decisive steps, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, expelling Pakistani diplomats, and shutting down key border crossings. These actions mark a significant escalation in the ongoing diplomatic crisis and suggest that India is preparing for a broader and more assertive response. Analysts believe that this could include measures unlike any seen before, potentially reshaping regional dynamics and sending a strong message against cross-border terrorism.
