Ethiopia Warns Eritrea, Threatens Defence After Border Breach

Olena Konoplia, a resident of Kyiv, has chosen to leave the city and settle in a cottage two hours away as Russian strikes intensify and winter approaches. The conflict has targeted Ukraine’s power grid, leaving many without heating as temperatures drop. She spent weeks searching for a safe spot that had no factories, warehouses or railway stations. Her decision reflects a growing trend of civilians relocating to rural areas to escape ongoing bombardment and infrastructure blackouts. The story highlights the civilian toll of the war and the challenges of enduring harsh winter conditions with disrupted utilities.

Police reports say 24 vehicles were torched and foreign‑owned shops were looted after anti‑immigration protests erupted in Soweto and Durban. The violence followed a Constitutional Court decision that lets illegal entrants file asylum claims, sparking fears of increased migration. Authorities defended the ruling, saying it does not grant automatic legal status and that applications will still be screened individually. The unrest mirrors long‑standing xenophobic tensions in South Africa, where poverty and inequality fuel suspicion toward foreign residents. Police used rubber bullets to disperse crowds, and businesses downtown shuttered amid rising threats to public safety.

Alonzo Lunsford, a former U.S. Army sergeant who survived being shot seven times during the Fort Hood mass shooting, supports the death penalty for Nidal Hasan, calling a firing squad the appropriate method. He argues lethal injection would be a favour to the shooter, but worries that livestreaming the execution could mislead children and normalize public executions. Lunsford said he intends to witness the ceremony in person and wants Hasan to understand the gravity of his crime. He has forgiven the perpetrator, citing Christian compassion as part of his healing process. The debate over livestreaming touches on broader questions about the death penalty and public spectacle.
