Today, on the lawns of one of Cairo’s upscale sporting clubs, Samir’s restaurant ‘Kush Children’s Village’ serves up a fusion menu. “The name was my father’s idea, inspired by the Bible,” she said, explaining the reference to Kush, the ancient kingdom that straddled modern-day Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia. “We serve all three cuisines,” she said proudly, but insisted the restaurant is still distinctly Sudanese. “But the war’s not ending,” she said, resigned to finding ways to remind herself of the homeland she longs for. “I want to hire a henna artist in the restaurant, I know Egyptians love that,” she said with a laugh.

In other words, Biden’s Israel plan gifts a victory to Hamas. But Biden broke that sacred bond in a cynical political manner.

SouthWest State Refutes distortion on Ethiopian Troop Withdrawal from SomaliaBAIDOA, Somalia - The SouthWest State Ministry of Internal Security has publicly addressed and refuted claims made by Hussein Moalim, the National Security Advisor to the Somali President, regarding the role of Ethiopian troops in the post-African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) mission.
