Guinea votes in first post-coup election as junta leader tipped to win presidency
CONAKRY — Guineans voted on Sunday in the country’s first presidential election since a 2021 military coup, with junta leader Mamadi Doumbouya widely expected to win amid a weakened and sidelined opposition. The vote marks the culmination of a four-year transition that began when Doumbouya seized power and ousted then-president Alpha Condé. Critics say the junta has since tightened its grip by suppressing dissent and marginalizing opposition parties, leaving Doumbouya with little serious competition among the nine candidates. Despite Guinea’s vast natural wealth — including its status as the world’s largest exporter of bauxite, a key component in aluminum production — more than half of its 15 million people face acute poverty and food insecurity, according to the World Food...

Iran’s president says country is in ‘full-scale war’ with the West
TEHRAN — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that Iran is engaged in what he described as a “full-scale war” with the United States, Israel and Europe, days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to meet US President Donald Trump in Washington. In an interview published on the website of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Pezeshkian said the confrontation facing Iran is more severe than the 1980s war with Iraq. “We are in a full-scale war with the U.S., Israel and Europe; they don’t want our country to remain stable,” he said. Pezeshkian described the pressure from Western powers as “more complicated and more difficult” than the 1980–1988 Iran-Iraq war, which left more than one million people killed or wounded on both sides. His...

STOCKHOLM — Two people have died in Sweden after a powerful winter storm swept across parts of the Nordic region, triggering widespread power outages and major travel disruptions. Sweden’s Meteorological and Hydrological Institute issued strong wind warnings for large areas of the northern half of the country as Storm Johannes moved through the region. One man in his 50s was killed after being struck by a falling tree at the Kungsberget ski resort in southern Sweden, according to police and local media. Separately, regional utility company Hemab said one of its employees died in a work-related accident while responding to storm conditions in the field.

Zelenskyy to meet Trump in Florida as US pushes updated Ukraine peace plan
WASHINGTON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday for talks aimed at ending nearly four years of war between Ukraine and Russia. The meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence comes as Washington advances an updated, U.S.-brokered peace proposal that Moscow has yet to endorse. Discussions are also expected to cover possible U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine. The talks follow a wave of heavy Russian strikes on Kyiv over the weekend, which Zelenskyy said underscored that Moscow “doesn’t want peace.” Ukrainian authorities said a 10-hour missile and drone barrage late Friday killed two people and injured at least 32 others in the capital. Additional Russian attacks were reported Saturday night, damaging energy and...

Arab, Islamic and African states reject Israel’s recognition of Somaliland
RIYADH — Representatives of 21 Arab, Islamic and African countries on Saturday condemned Israel’s decision to recognize Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland as an independent state, warning that the move violates international law and threatens regional stability. In a joint statement released by the Foreign Ministry of Qatar, the countries said Israel’s decision set a “serious precedent” that endangers international peace and security. The statement said the recognition violates the principles of international law and the United Nations Charter, which affirm the sovereignty of states and their territorial integrity, and accused Israel of pursuing an expansionist agenda. It described the move as a sign of Israel’s “blatant disregard for international law” and warned...

Storm-related building collapse kills Palestinian woman in Gaza
GAZA — A Palestinian woman was killed and several members of her family were injured on Sunday after part of a damaged building collapsed during severe weather in the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources. Medics said a wall from a residential structure weakened by previous Israeli strikes collapsed onto a tent sheltering a 30-year-old woman in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City. Heavy rainfall and strong winds have swept across the enclave since late Saturday, flooding and uprooting thousands of tents housing displaced Palestinians. In southern Gaza, hundreds of tents erected along the beach in Khan Younis were inundated as rough seas and rising waves, driven by a low-pressure weather system, surged inland. Aid workers and residents warned that the harsh weather poses growing...

Syrian authorities arrest alleged member of former-regime-linked militant cell in Latakia
DAMASCUS — Syrian authorities said Sunday they arrested a member of what they described as a “terrorist cell” in the northwestern province of Latakia, as part of ongoing security operations targeting remnants of the former Assad-era security apparatus. The Interior Ministry said the suspect, identified as Basel Issa Ali Jamahiri, was detained in the village of Duweir Ba‘bada in the Jableh countryside on charges of belonging to a group known as “Saraya al-Jawad,” which authorities say is affiliated with former special forces commander Suheil al-Hassan. The ministry said several weapons and quantities of ammunition hidden in multiple locations were seized during the operation. Al-Hassan was a senior commander in the army of ousted president Bashar al-Assad and is widely...

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump said no agreement to end the Russia-Ukraine war would be finalized without Washington’s consent, as he prepares to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for talks in Florida. “He doesn’t have anything until I approve it,” Trump told Politico ahead of the meeting, expected to take place on Sunday. “We’ll see what he’s got.” Trump said he expects the discussions to be productive, adding: “I think it’s going to go good with him.” The U.S. president also expressed optimism about parallel diplomacy with Moscow, saying he believes talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin would also “go good” and that he expects to speak with Putin soon.
