 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him. I see brilliance trapped by poverty and enormous promise abandoned by leadership,” ...

 Paramilitary RSF admits committing 'violations' in Sudan's Al Fasher


Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has acknowledged "violations" by its forces in Al Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, claiming that investigation committees have been formed and deployed to the city.


"I see that excesses happened in Al Fasher, and I hereby announce the formation of investigative committees. These committees have already reached Al Fasher," RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo said in a prerecorded video on Telegram, TRT Afrika reported.


Sudanese authorities and international organisations have accused the RSF of committing "massacres and humanitarian violations" in Al Fasher, including "summary executions," arbitrary arrests, and displacement of civilians during its assault on the city since Sunday, which it had besieged for over a year.


Chairman of Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council Abdel Fattah al Burhan confirmed that army forces had withdrawn from the city to spare it further "destruction and systematic killing" by the RSF.


Sudan's Humanitarian Aid Commission said on Wednesday that the RSF had killed over 2,000 people during its assault on the city. The Sudan Doctors Network also accused the RSF of executing all patients in Al Fasher hospitals.


Claims of investigation


In his video, Dagalo claimed that "legal investigation committees will immediately investigate and hold accountable any soldier or officer who violated human rights, and the results of the investigations will be announced immediately."


He also claimed that civilians would be allowed full movement in the city and that any detained civilians would be released immediately.


Dagalo urged residents to return to Al Fasher despite "current obstacles from mines and war violations."


"Citizens can return to their homes, especially those who own homes in Al Fasher," he said.


"We regret the disaster that befell you, but we had no choice; the war was imposed on us. The decision is for all forces to be outside Al Fasher after securing the city and removing obstacles," Dagalo added.
