 Meta to end end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages Meta is ending end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages, a feature the company says will no longer be available after May 8, 2026. Unlike WhatsApp, Instagram never offered encryption to all users or as a default; only select users in certain regions could opt in on a per-chat basis. A Meta spokesperson explained that the decision comes due to low adoption. “Very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMs, so we’re removing this option from Instagram in the coming months,” the spokesperson said. “Anyone who wants to keep messaging with end-to-end encryption can easily do that on WhatsApp.” Meta’s messaging strategy has shifted multiple times over the years. WhatsApp chats have been encrypted since 2016, and the company began rolling out default encryption for Messenger in 2023. However, Meta has not clarified whether the Instagram decision affects Messenger, which is still in the proc...

UPDATE: EGYPT’S SISI, SUDAN’S BURHAN CALL FOR ACTIVATING JOINT DEFENSE PACT. (PHOTO).

 Egypt’s Sisi, Sudan’s Burhan call for activating joint defense pact


Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi and Sudan’s Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al Burhan have called for activating a joint defence agreement to confront regional challenges, according to the Sudanese Foreign Ministry.


This came as the war between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continues.


Burhan was on a one-day visit to Egypt and met with the Egyptian president on Thursday. Muawiya Osman Khaled, Sudan’s Foreign Ministry undersecretary, said the two leaders explored ways to strengthen and advance cooperation, according to Sudan’s state news agency.


Khaled said Burhan expressed appreciation for Egypt’s “firm and unwavering support for Sudan’s sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and Cairo’s unconditional stance against threats to Sudan’s national security.”


Boost economic coordination


He added that the two presidents directed state institutions in both countries to boost coordination on shared priorities, including water issues, security, trade, and economic cooperation, Anadolu Agency reported.


“In light of the challenges facing the region, the two presidents called for activating mechanisms of joint action, including the joint defense agreement,” Khaled said.


He added the leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to working with partners to help restore peace and stability in Sudan, ensure humanitarian aid delivery and open safe corridors for assistance.


Sudan and Egypt signed a joint defence agreement in 1976, though there has been no indication that it has been activated. The two countries have since concluded several military cooperation agreements, most recently in March 2021, aimed at safeguarding their shared national security.


Brutal war


Burhan’s visit came as intense fighting continues across Sudan’s three Kordofan states – North, West and South – where recent clashes between the army and the RSF have displaced tens of thousands of people.


Of Sudan’s 18 states, the RSF controls all five states of the Darfur region in the west, except for some northern parts of North Darfur that remain under army control. The army, in turn, holds most areas of the remaining 13 states in the south, north, east, and center, including the capital, Khartoum.


The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has since killed thousands of people and displaced millions of others.
