 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept". Rwanda denies supporting M23 and has blamed Congolese and Burundian forces for the renewed fighting. A United Nations group of experts report published in July said Rwanda exercised command and control over t...

 Hundreds of students stage walkout from Yale graduation in anti-Israel protest



Hundreds of Yale graduates staged a walkout from the university's graduation ceremony in Newhaven on Monday.


The protesting students could be seen waving Palestinian flags as well as banners demanding that the college "disclose and divest." Anti-Israel protests have ravaged campuses across the country for weeks, forcing some universities to cancel their end-of-year ceremonies altogether.


The student protesters at Yale's event walked out as diplomas were being handed out to graduates. The students also chanted "free Palestine" as Yale President Peter Salovey delivered his address.


"It is not enough to retreat into silos alongside those who are already inclined to agree with us. Nor is it effective to ostracize, call out, or shame or silence well-meaning others who do not," Salovey said in his speech.


Students also waved Palestinian flags throughout the ceremony.


Yale's campus has been a hot spot for anti-Israel protests for the past several weeks. Police made dozens of arrests in a series of operations aimed at clearing out encampments.


The protest at Yale mirrored disruptions at graduation and commencement ceremonies taking place across the country. Drexel University in Philadelphia was forced to go into lockdown on Monday due to a resurgence in protests.


The University of Southern California was forced to cancel its graduation ceremony altogether.


Columbia University, the early center of the protests, also canceled its school-wide graduation ceremony.


"Canceling the traditional Commencement ceremony was one of the toughest calls in a year of many tough calls," Columbia University President Minouche Shafik wrote in a statement to students. "I recognize the toll the past few months have taken on your university experience, and I want you to know that I am deeply sorry for the disappointment that many of you may be feeling as a result."


"The conflict between the rights of pro-Palestinian protesters and the impact that their protests have had on some members of our Jewish community is what makes this moment singularly fraught," Shafik wrote.
