Resumen Completo

The U.S. Justice Department released nearly 3.5 million pages of Epstein files on January 30, 2026, under the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Trump in November 2025. These documents detail Epstein's sex trafficking, Ghislaine Maxwell's case, and his 2019 death, naming prominent figures but leading to few prosecutions so far. CGTN's mid-February broadcast highlighted victims' exposed names versus protected abusers, contrasting with more measured U.S. coverage and sparking global talks on elite accountability amid international fallout like Prince Andrew's arrest.

Punto Clave

CGTN host Wang Guan likened the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files to a 'CT scan of the whole system,' exposing courts, banks, and politicians too powerful to face charges.

On February 16, 2026, Rabi Muhammad from Kano was arrested while trying to smuggle the opioids to Cotonou, Benin Republic, using the creative fake bump tactic. Videos show officers in pink uniforms carefully removing the device in a search room, as she stood dressed in traditional attire. The bust was part of a busy week for NDLEA, including an Ivorian man excreting cocaine at Kano airport, a real estate CEO with 89 kilograms of cannabis in Lagos, and raids across several states that nabbed hundreds more kilograms of drugs— even a 68-year-old grandmother in Edo. Chairman Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa praised the team's vigilance against these evolving smuggling plots.

Punto Clave

NDLEA officers at Lagos' Seme border spotted a suspicious protruding belly on a 35-year-old businesswoman heading to Benin. A search revealed 3,200 tramadol capsules hidden inside a strapped-on pink calabash disguised as a pregnancy.

Videos capture Yoruba ancestral masquerades performing in an Argentine community hall and Orisha tributes lighting up Rio and São Paulo Carnivals, where schools like Unidos de Vila Isabel celebrated Afro-Brazilian roots from Candomblé. These displays, preserved by descendants of the slave trade, contrast with Nigeria, where colonial missionaries suppressed such practices, sparking awe, pride, and regret among viewers. Brazilian Yoruba descendants affirm their heritage, while some Christians distinguish cultural appreciation from deity worship.

Resumen Completo

Gabon's communication authority indefinitely suspended major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and WhatsApp on Tuesday, amid teacher strikes and protests over living costs following a 2023 coup. In contrast, Kenya's National Assembly rejected a petition to ban TikTok, opting instead for stricter age checks, privacy safeguards, and data localization within four months to shield minors from explicit content and bullying. Lawmakers like Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah stressed that platforms empower youth and create jobs, favoring regulation over suppression as African nations balance digital growth with social protection.

Punto Clave

While Gabon pulls the plug on Facebook, TikTok, and others to curb misinformation and unrest, Kenya's lawmakers draw a firm line: no bans, just smarter rules to protect kids and data.

Host Iain Dale role-played as Putin on LBC Thursday evening, prompting Polanski to stress negotiation amid nuclear risks. Commentators mocked the remarks harshly, with Alex Massie comparing Polanski unfavorably to Jeremy Corbyn and James Cleverly calling them less sophisticated than children's views.

The controversy underscores divides in British politics over Russia, Ukraine, and NATO amid U.S. shifts.

Resumen Completo

A post highlighting Portugal's median monthly earnings of €950-€1,000 and average around €1,600 drew cheers from some comparing it to U.S. standards, but sparked anger from residents like Rita in southern Portugal. She pointed out how influxes of American retirees and remote workers have driven housing prices up 23.4% nationwide in 2025, with Lisbon seeing 35 people crammed into one apartment and regions turning English-speaking. While government plans tax cuts for landlords and more housing for 2026, the debate reveals Portugal's struggle to balance global appeal with protecting locals from being priced out.

Punto Clave

An American's quip about retiring cheaply in Portugal hit a nerve with locals facing soaring rents and fading affordability in their own hometowns.

Kennedy Jr. defended White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles on November 14, 2025, via X, calling her a key supporter of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda and dismissing critics as chaos agents.

Born in 1998 in Lagos' Olusosun slum near Africa's largest landfill, Osimhen grew up in a single room with six siblings after his mother's early death, his father scraping by as a dishwasher amid unpaid rent and collapsing roofs. Football became his escape through barefoot games and scavenged boots, leading to a breakthrough at Nigeria's U-17 World Cup in 2015 where he scored 10 goals for the Golden Boot, then pro stints at Wolfsburg, Lille, Napoli's 2023 Scudetto win, and now Galatasaray since July 2025. He shares his story to inspire kids from the same hardships: start in the gutter, but greatness can make your name echo for 1,000 years.

Punto Clave

At age 12, Victor Osimhen huddled in a fetid gutter, sobbing over his family's cut power and endless struggles. In his raw Players' Tribune essay, he calls it proof of God's grace that anyone knows his name today.
