EL-FASHER, Sudan — More than 150 Sudanese women were subjected to rape and sexual harassment while fleeing the city of El-Fasher in North Darfur, a local civil group said Friday, as violence and displacement intensify in the war-torn region.

Trump says future meeting with Putin still possible after Budapest summit cancellation
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said Friday there is still a possibility he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin after their planned summit in Budapest, Hungary, was abruptly canceled last month. “There is always a chance,” Trump told reporters while hosting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the White House. Later, speaking in the Cabinet Room, Trump said the meeting did not take place because “the Russians don’t want to stop yet.” “I think they will.

US flights face 20% cuts if shutdown continues, warns Transportation Secretary
WASHINGTON — Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned Friday that US flights could be reduced by as much as 20% if the ongoing government shutdown continues, with an initial 10% cut set to take effect next week. “We are going to implement a 10% reduction in flights over the course of the next week. And again, that is from the data that we see from our safety team at the FAA,” Duffy told Fox News. He cited staffing shortages as a major cause of flight delays, noting that many air traffic controllers are calling in sick due to not being paid. “They’re being forced to take secondary jobs again, whether it’s waiting tables or driving Uber instead of coming to towers and doing their day jobs,” he said. Duffy cautioned that if the shutdown persists, flight reductions could rise...

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that no American officials will attend the upcoming G20 Summit in South Africa, accusing the host nation of committing “human rights abuses” against the Afrikaner population. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump condemned what he described as the “killing and slaughter” of Afrikaners — descendants of Dutch, French, and German settlers — and the “illegal confiscation” of their land and farms. “It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa,” Trump wrote, adding, “No U.S. Government Official will attend as long as these Human Rights abuses continue.” He also said he looks forward to hosting the 2026 G20 Summit in Miami, signaling his intention to bring the high-profile gathering to...
