On Monday, RSF fighters recaptured Bara in North Kordofan, a key hub 40 kilometers west of El Obeid, just over a week after Sudanese Armed Forces took it with drone strikes and ground assaults. They also pushed into Tina near the Chad border in North Darfur, a shelter for thousands of displaced people, though army sources deny the gains and claim heavy RSF losses. These seesaw battles in the nearly three-year war highlight strategic routes for exports and aid, with civilians fearing reprisals amid shifting control. Independent checks are tough in remote areas, but footage and imagery support RSF presence for now.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader for over three decades, died on March 1, 2026, at age 86 in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike on his Tehran office, as confirmed by Iranian state media and announced by President Trump.

Key Takeaway

Tanzania's foreign minister stood quietly beside a portrait of Iran's late leader, signing a condolence book in Dar es Salaam. Days later, South Africa's president sent a similar message from Chicago—gestures that ignited sharp criticism from U.S. conservatives.
