Russian Forces Hint Recapture Kursk Amid US-Ukraine Aid Shift, Ceasefire Talks

-
Image
Russian forces have regained significant territory in the Kursk region of Russia, previously held by Ukraine for seven months, raising questions about the impact of a temporary US intelligence cutoff. This resurgence occurred as Russia "studies" a US-proposed ceasefire, accepted by Ukraine after extensive negotiations in Riyadh.   The Russian offensive intensified on March 6, coinciding with a temporary halt in US military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine. During this period, Russian forces reportedly launched 32 attacks in Kursk, deploying advanced drone operators and electronic warfare to neutralize Ukrainian drone defenses.   A key strategic move occurred on March 7, when Russia launched attacks in the Sumy region, aiming to encircle Ukrainian forces in Kursk and sever their supply lines. By Saturday, Russian troops had captured settlements north of Sudzha, the main Ukrainian stronghold in Kursk, and initiated attacks on the city itself, including an infiltrati...

THE PEOPLE OF KUSAUG STAND UNITED AGAINST DIVISIVE RHETORIC AND DECEPTION

-
Image
Recent remarks made by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, also known as Napo, running mate to Alhaji Mahamud Bawumia, represent a clear and dangerous attempt to sow discord within Kusaug. In a viral video, Napo falsely accuses H.E. John Dramani Mahama of plotting to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people, along with other tribes, should he return to office. These baseless claims are not only deceptive and irresponsible, but they also have the potential to inflame tensions and destabilize the peace we are striving to maintain in the area. Such reckless rhetoric must be unequivocally condemned. The people of Kusaug have closely followed the commitments of various political leaders regarding our area’s future. At no point has John Dramani Mahama ever sought to divide the Kusasi and Mamprusi people. During his visit to the Zugraan Bawku Naaba’s palace, Mahama responded to a request by the chiefs and people of Kusaug by highlighting the potential creation of a Kusaug Region. He described it as a via...
