 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".

 Governor Zulum Criticizes Leaders for Ignoring Polygamy in IDP Camps


Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has expressed concern over the rise of polygamy in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps, where some individuals have taken multiple wives despite struggling to provide for their families.


In a viral video shared on social media, particularly on TikTok by Kawu Garba, Governor Zulum criticized both state and national politicians for avoiding the issue, fearing it might cost them votes during elections.


“The question is, which Islamic leader has spoken out against this? Which politician has opposed this situation?” Zulum asked.


“All they say is, ‘I won’t speak out.’ They are more focused on campaigning and winning elections. They refuse to address the issue because they fear the IDPs might vote against them.”


Zulum pointed to an example of a man who arrived at the camp in 2011 or 2012 with one wife but now has four, highlighting the economic burden this creates for the state.


The Governor’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions from TikTok users:


Ken Musa Ehi: “You need to start educating them.”


Truth Matters: “At last, we have a true leader in Prof Zulum who isn’t afraid to speak the truth, no matter the political cost.”


B-B: “And you allowed him to remain in the camp?”


Whale V: “If more people in that region spoke out like him, the people would start to realize they’re on the wrong path.”


Capt Imran: “If you have the means, marry as you wish, but don’t add unnecessary burdens to society. I don’t like the Almajiri system, and if I had the power, I would work to stop it.
