  Burkina Faso’s army has given civilians two weeks to evacuate vast areas in northern and southeastern regions of the country in advance of military operations against rebel fighters. The military evacuation order follows after a major attack by rebels on June 11 that left at least 100 civilians dead and displaced thousands more. The West African country’s army this week ordered civilians to leave two large “military interest zones” to protect them, but did not specify how long they would have to evacuate or where they should go. One of the military zones is a rural area of approximately 2,000sq kilometres (772sq miles) bordering Mali in the northern province of Soum. The other military zone covers about 11,000sq km (4247sq miles) on the southern border with Benin and is mostly national park land. “A delay of 14 days will be accorded to resident populations to join safer zones,” army spokesperson Yves Didier Bamouni said at a news briefing on Friday. “It is very important to be ab...

US top court overturns 1973 precedent-setting decision, succeeding nearly 50 years of abortion access in the country.

 The US Supreme Court has reversed Roe v Wade, the landmark ruling that granted the right to abortion for nearly five decades in the United States, in what President Joe Biden has described as a “sad day” for the country. In a decision released on Friday, the country’s top court ruled in a Mississippi case that “the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion”. The justices voted 6-3, powered by the court’s conservative supermajority. “The authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives,” the ruling reads. The decision follows the leak last month of a draft opinion indicating that Roe v Wade would be overturned. That sparked widespread protests and condemnation across the US, with reproductive rights advocates saying millions of women would no longer have access to abortion services. More than two dozen US states are likely to ban abortion now that the 1973 legal precedent has been overturned, according to the reproductive rights grou...

Lil Tjay still unconscious after Wednesday's attack.

Lil Tjay, 21, was shot in Edgewater, New Jersey on June 22. The New York rapper suffered multiple gun shot wounds in an attempted robbery last Wednesday. The suspect, Mohamed Konate, was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree attempted murder. The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office shared a tweet that day claiming the incident "does not appear to be [a] random act." They also added that one victim was in good condition, while another – believed to be Tjay – was "upgraded from critical to stable condition." TMZ reported Thursday that the rapper was in the hospital unconscious: "We're told he's scheduled for a CAT Scan and outside of moving his legs yesterday, he's made no other bodily movements." An unsubstantiated post shared over the weekend on both Twitter and Instagram claims that Tjay "will be paralyzed for the rest of his life" and that "he also has only a 15% chance to survive the attack." The claims...
