China Condemns US Over Planned Intervention In Venezuela’s Oil Sector

China has strongly condemned the United States’ planned intervention in Venezuela’s oil sector, sharply criticising President Donald Trump’s actions as a violation of international law. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning described the US move as an “outrageous use of force” and said Washington’s insistence that Venezuela manage its oil resources according to an “America First” agenda amounts to harassment and undermines the rights of the Venezuelan people. “Venezuela has full sovereignty over its natural resources and economic activities,” Mao said, adding that China’s own rights and interests in the country must also be protected. The criticism follows Trump’s announcement on his Truth Social platform that Venezuela’s interim government would transfer 30 million to 50 million barrels of “sanctioned oil” to the United States, with the proceeds intended to benefit both Venezuelans and Americans. China, a key ally and the largest buyer of Venezuelan oil, has consistently opposed foreign interventions in the South American country. The condemnation also comes in the wake of a US military operation that led to the removal of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, which Beijing and other global powers have denounced as a breach of Venezuela’s sovereignty. Mao’s statement reflects growing international concern over the US actions, highlighting tensions surrounding Venezuela’s oil resources and the broader geopolitical implications of unilateral interventions.

Datti Baba-Ahmed Declares 2027 Presidential Ambition Under Labour Party

Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party’s 2023 vice-presidential candidate, has officially declared his intention to run for Nigeria’s presidency in 2027, amid ongoing shifts in the opposition landscape. Baba-Ahmed, who was Peter Obi’s running mate in the 2023 election, made the announcement during a rally at the Labour Party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday. The declaration follows Obi’s recent exit from the Labour Party to join the African Democratic Congress, a move that has fueled debates over the party’s future and the direction of Nigeria’s opposition ahead of the next general election. Speaking to party supporters, Baba-Ahmed emphasized that his presidential ambition is independent of Obi’s political moves, noting that his desire to contest predates the 2023 election. He said, “I have made myself to contest for the office in 2027. I’m not following anybody’s trajectory or stepping into anybody’s shoes. Before Governor Peter Obi filed for the presidency, I had already aspired to run. The records are there for everyone to see.” Reflecting on his political journey, Baba-Ahmed recalled his 2018 attempt to secure the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential ticket, before later aligning with Obi in the Labour Party. “In October 2018, I contested in the PDP primaries in Port Harcourt and even approached Obi for his support. He was gracious. I saw a rare opportunity for national unity with Obi in 2023, and that is why I chose to support him,” he explained. Addressing potential concerns about religion and ethnicity, Baba-Ahmed affirmed that Nigeria’s constitution allows every qualified citizen to run for office. “Yes, I am a practising Muslim and a Hausa man, but I am also Nigerian. The constitution permits me to contest, and I am doing this because Nigeria needs help,” he said. While making his intentions public, Baba-Ahmed stressed his commitment to following party and electoral guidelines. “Until INEC releases the election timetable and the Labour Party officially calls for aspirants, I will not take any further action. But Nigerians know the truth,” he added.

Egypt Set For Blockbuster AFCON Quarterfinal Against Cote d’Ivoire

Egypt’s route to the AFCON semi-finals has been locked in for a heavyweight quarter-final against defending champions Cote d’Ivoire. Cote d’Ivoire swept aside Burkina Faso in the round of 16. The Ivorians’ win was built on an impressive display by Manchester United winger Amad Diallo, who opened the scoring and assisted the second before half-time. For Egypt, the tie is the next test of a knockout run that has already been tough. The Pharaohs edged Benin 3–1 after extra time in the round of 16. Following a long-range strike from Marwan Attia, Egypt needed a looping header from Yasser Ibrahim and a late breakaway finish from Mohamed Salah in extra time to qualify. Beyond the immediate stakes, the matchup carries history. Egypt and Cote d’Ivoire will face each other for the 12th time in the AFCON. Egypt has a strong track record, having won all five of its knockout matches against the Ivorians, including three victories decided by penalty shootouts. However, Hossam Hassan’s preparation is complicated by injury concerns, especially at left-back. Mohamed Hamdy was forced off against Benin after suffering an ACL injury early in the match. If Egypt plans to manage risk and win the moments, Cote d’Ivoire arrive as the kind of opponent that can punish even brief lapses. Diallo has been one of the tournament’s standout attackers, scoring three times and assisting once so far in the AFCON. The quarter-final is scheduled for Saturday, 10 January 2026, in Agadir, with kick-off at 21:00.
