  • MBOMUZO IN OKWUOHIA AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITY,
    OBOWO L.G.A., IMO STATE, NIGERIA.
    Okwuohia is a Community in Obowo
    L.G.A., of Imo state, Nigeria, that has enviable rich historical background and deep cultural heritage. Okwuohia is the only community in Obowo and the old ETITI District that has four markets covering the four market days in Igbo calendar, namely: Eke, Orie, Afor and Nkwo. All these have distinct locations and hold accordingly.
    The community prides herself with many cultural festivals which include Mbomuzo, Ntumaka, Nrim-ji (Iri ji) among others. But the one that attracts people in their numbers to the community is, "MBOMUZO", a-k-a "NKUISI-MKPURU-UKWA".
    MBOMUZO simply means, "clearing of the roads ", otherwise known as environmental cleansing, especially with regard to roads leading to traditional centres and matket places. It is intended to make the roads passable again in order to give proper access to the markets and homes of citizens.
    In Okwuohia, all roads are cleared very thoroughly starting from individual homes to the Eke-Okwuohia, Orie-Okwuohia, Afor-Okwuohia and Nkwo-Okwuohia market squares. Also, roads leading to major and significant rivers are cleared. For instance, the Onu-iyi-lolo-nwanyi (Onu-ngele) stream at Umuduru Mgbakam is usually kept cleared for the "AHIA-NGANGA" ceremony by the women of Okwuohia during the same period. It has to be noted that all the road clearing and cleansing must be completed on or before the NKWO market day preceding the EKE market day of the ceremony.
    NKUISI-MKPURU-UKWA: As said earlier in this write-up, MBOMUZO Okwuohia is also referred to as NKUISI-MKPURU-UKWA. Why?
    Ours, is an agrarian community. In those good old days, our people cultivated yams, coco-yams, maize, cassava and mkpokoro in large scales. Farming was done more at locations far away from homes. Due to this, farmers constructed make-shift structures there in the bush/farms, where they rested and had their meals during the toils of the day. Most times, people returned to their homes very late in the evening. Major foods eaten in the farms those days were bread-fruits (Ukwa), palm kernels, yams and coco-yams. The bread-fruits were eaten whole without removing the the shells or the outer covers. Farming took place between the months of January and May, during which period farmers fed on any available food items. When such farmers returned to their homes from their farms in the month of May, they settled down to enjoy more pleasant and well prepared food. They would no longer eat the bread-fruits with their shells. Also, they cleaned their environments that had been left bushy during the period of intensive farming activities in the farms. From their homes, clearing and cleansing progress to the roads that lead to other homes and traditional centres. At this time, people begin to exchange visits with relatives and friends both far and near to show that they have returned home after the farming period in the bush. Such visits are usually reciprocated. During such visits, entertainments are unlimited based on the dispositions of the parties involved. In Okwuohia, after the entertainment at home, people gather at the designated market square to demonstrate it the more. The venue is usually at the ORIE OKWUOHIA, where the EKWIRIKWE music music is played and danced in an organized manner.
    EKWIRIKWE MUSIC AND ORDER OF DANCING:
    After the presentation and blessing of kola-nuts by the traditional ruler of Okwuohia, who declares the ceremony open after his speech and brief demonstration of the dance, the ceremony begins. Ofeiyi people, who are the custodians of the EKWIRIKWE do a brief demonstration dance. Thereafter, the traditional order of seniority of the three sections of Okwuohia is strictly observed thus: MGBAKAM, OFEIYI and AMARAMOHIA. Finally, a general dance which is usually longer and more thrilling comes up and marks the end of the ceremony.
    The EKWIRIKWE music delivers messages which present Okwuohia as place with people of remarkable mutual respect, prowess and noted for wrestling. EKWIRIKWE music is used to caution Okwuohia people not to eat the bread-fruits with the shells again after the Mbomuzo. Hence, "ONYE ATALA UKWA NA MKPEKELE" and "NKUISI-MKPURU-UKWA". This is demonstrated by hitting one's back-side to symbolically discharge the ones eaten previously. Before the EKWIRIKWE dance arena is approached, people sing various songs and dance along the road according to Age Grades, socicultural groups and sections.
    MBOMUZO AND THE PRONOUNCEMENT OF DATE.
    Only the Eze of Okwuohia, in consultation with you Traditional Council has the powers to announce the date for MBOMUZO every year. Above all, it is a known fact that Okwuohia community is the first among all the communities in Obowo and even the old ETITI District to perform Mbomuzo every year, thus determining the cultural calendar for other communities that perform the same and or related festivals.
    Mbomuzo holds in Okwuohia on the second EKE-Okwuohia market day in the month of June every year. Visitors, friends, in-laws and well -wishers of the community visit the community to enjoy the characteristic hospitality and conviviality associated with the ceremony. Entertainment items are unlimited especially according to the preparedness of the individual families and persons during the period. Such entertainment items include and not limited to polished bread-fruit meals, maize pudding, cassava foo-foo, oil-bean pudding and different kinds of drinks.
    PROBLEMS:
    The festival has suffered from various problems which include but not limited to wrong perceptions, misrepresentation, misconception, ignorance, ineptitude, iconoclasm and apathy. Many, especially the less informed and the neo-religious groups strongly hold to the perception that that the festival is fetish and wasteful (especially those who are not willing to spend their resources to host guests).
    ADVANTAGES:
    The period leads to keeping the surroundings clean, re-union of families, friends, in-laws and well -wishers, tourist attraction and advancing our cultural heritage including ensuring the acquisition and development of the EKWIRIKWE playing and dancing skills.
    In the good old days, women who earnestly took part in the road and market clearing and cleansing and later took part in the AHIA-NGANGA activities after bathing on serious intents at the Onu-Lolo-nwanyi (Onu-Ngele) stream, would appear at Mbomuzo the following year either pregnant or as nursing mothers if they either prayed for or desired such thereby.
    MODIFICATIONS SO FAR:
    Since culture is dynamic, efforts have been made by the leadership of Okwuohia community, over time, to modify certain aspects of the festival and programmes there-of in order to exponge some questionable and undesirable aspects of it. For instance, the timing and declaration of the date of the festival are now done by the Traditional ruler of Okwuohia in synergy with the Traditional Council. Also, no shrine or deity is either worshipped or honoured before, during and even after the festival. Most times, the traditional rulership open the festival with Christian thanks-giving worship at an agreed Christian church here in Okwuohia.
    CONCLUSION:
    In line with the realities of the present moments, efforts should be made to allow for acceptable modifications while there should be insistence on protecting and upholding the soul, spirit and purports of the cultural heritage of our dear Okwuohia community especially as regards affects MBOMUZO.

  • WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR WIFE REFUSES TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU
    I hope am talking to mature people here.

    1. PREPARE HER
    Sometimes it is not that she does not want to make love to you but that all you have to do is prepare her with foreplay to get her in the mood

    2. DO NOT FORCE HER
    Do not force yourself on her in the name of demanding for your conjugal rights. Forcing an adult to have sex is demeaning and disrespectful

    3. CHECK IF YOU HAVE BEEN HURTING HER EMOTIONS
    If you have been hurting or ignoring her emotions, she will struggle to be sexually attracted to you. Women make love with their heart. If her heart is bruised, she will struggle to give you her body

    4. CHECK IF LAST TIME YOU WERE TOO ROUGH ON HER
    If last time you were too rough on her leaving her vagina, clitoris or nipples sore; she might be uncomfortable about letting you have her. Learn to be gentle

    5. CHECK IF YOU HAVE UNADDRESSED ISSUES
    If there are matters in your marriage that are not being concluded, intimacy will suffer. Stop ignoring the issues. The sooner you solve them the better

    6. CHECK IF SHE SUSPECTS YOU OF CHEATING
    If she knows of or suspects you are cheating, it will be a barrier between you two. If you have been cheating, stop it and win back her trust. If she suspects but it is not true, allay her fears and make her secure

    7. CUDDLE HER
    Sometimes this means more to her than love making. This goes a long way to show her she is not a sex object. This secures her and in doing so, she will enjoy making love with you

    8. GAUGE HER MENSTRUATION CYCLE
    Know your wife's monthly period cycle. Not every wife lies they are on their periods

    9. FIND OUT IF SOMETHING IS STRESSING HER
    Maybe there is something outside of your marriage that is disturbing her, maybe it is work issues, financial issues, her health, the children, her parents, a past trauma. Hear her out and show her that you are on her side.

  • Amad, Heaven, De Ligt - Man Utd Injury News and Return Dates Before Bournemouth and Athletic Bilbao

    Manchester United are navigating a crucial phase in their season as they prepare for vital fixtures against Bournemouth and Athletic Bilbao, with several players recovering from injury setbacks. Here’s the latest injury update from Manchester Evening News as manager Ruben Amorim evaluates his squad.

    De Ligt suffered an ankle injury in the match against Nottingham Forest. Although he stayed on the pitch until halftime, he hasn't played since. Amorim recently stated that while de Ligt is expected back before the season ends, a concrete return date remains undecided.

    Ayden Heaven – Minor Injury

    Heaven returned to the squad against Newcastle after missing three games, but a minor knock in training has kept him out of recent selections. The injury, caused by contact, is under review, and Amorim has not specified a return timeline.

    Lisandro Martinez – Long-Term ACL Injury

    Martinez remains sidelined due to a torn ACL suffered in February against Crystal Palace. He has undergone surgery and will miss the rest of the season. With a typical recovery period of six months, he is not expected back until August.

    Toby Collyer – Leg Problem

    Collyer is dealing with a leg injury. Although no official return date has been provided, Amorim assured supporters that the issue is not serious, and he could be available in the coming weeks.

    Amad – Ankle Recovery

    Amad was initially set to miss the remainder of the season after injuring his ankle. However, recent updates have shown signs of a possible return before the season wraps up. Amorim is hopeful he’ll be fit by May, and Amad himself has shared promising recovery updates on social media.

    Joshua Zirkzee – Season-Ending Hamstring Injury


    Zirkzee picked up a hamstring injury in the Newcastle game and has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Despite walking off unaided, the injury is serious enough to sideline him. He is now focused on returning in time for the next pre-season.

    With key games approaching, including the showdown with Athletic Bilbao, United will be hoping for timely returns from key players like Amad and de Ligt to strengthen their push at the business end of the season.

  • Step-by-Step: The Catholic Church after the death of a Pope

    1. Confirmation of Death

    The Camerlengo (Chamberlain of the Holy Roman Church) officially confirms the pope’s death.
    Traditionally, he gently calls the pope’s baptismal name three times. If there's no response, he declares the pope dead.

    2. Destruction of the Fisherman’s Ring

    The Fisherman’s Ring, a signet used to seal official documents, is broken by the Camerlengo in the presence of cardinals.
    This prevents its misuse and symbolizes the end of the pope’s authority.

    3. Official Announcement

    The Vatican makes an official public announcement.
    Bells may toll and mourning customs begin, including the flying of flags at half-staff in some places.

    4. Nine Days of Mourning –

    A period of official mourning lasts nine days, during which Masses are offered for the repose of the pope’s soul.
    The body is prepared and displayed in St. Peter’s Basilica for public veneration.

    5. Burial

    The pope is traditionally buried in the crypt beneath St. Peter’s Basilica (though he may request another resting place).
    The body is usually placed in three coffins: wood, lead, and another wooden coffin, each placed inside the other.

    6. Sede Vacante (Vacant See)

    During this time, all governance of the Church is paused, except for routine matters handled by the Camerlengo.
    No new appointments or major decisions can be made until a new pope is elected.

    7. Preparation for the Conclave

    The College of Cardinals gathers in Rome.
    After at least 15 days but no more than 20 days following the pope’s death, the conclave begins to elect a new pope.
    Only cardinals under 80 years old are eligible to vote.

    8. The Conclave

    Held in the Sistine Chapel under strict secrecy.
    Voting continues until a candidate receives two-thirds majority.
    After a successful vote, the elected cardinal is asked: “Do you accept your canonical election as Supreme Pontiff?”
    If he says yes, he chooses a papal name.

    9. The New Pope is Announced

    The cardinal proto-deacon steps onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica and declares:
    “Habemus Papam!” (We have a Pope!)
    The new pope then appears and gives his first Urbi et Orbi blessing.
    Step-by-Step: The Catholic Church after the death of a Pope 1. Confirmation of Death The Camerlengo (Chamberlain of the Holy Roman Church) officially confirms the pope’s death. Traditionally, he gently calls the pope’s baptismal name three times. If there's no response, he declares the pope dead. 2. Destruction of the Fisherman’s Ring The Fisherman’s Ring, a signet used to seal official documents, is broken by the Camerlengo in the presence of cardinals. This prevents its misuse and symbolizes the end of the pope’s authority. 3. Official Announcement The Vatican makes an official public announcement. Bells may toll and mourning customs begin, including the flying of flags at half-staff in some places. 4. Nine Days of Mourning – A period of official mourning lasts nine days, during which Masses are offered for the repose of the pope’s soul. The body is prepared and displayed in St. Peter’s Basilica for public veneration. 5. Burial The pope is traditionally buried in the crypt beneath St. Peter’s Basilica (though he may request another resting place). The body is usually placed in three coffins: wood, lead, and another wooden coffin, each placed inside the other. 6. Sede Vacante (Vacant See) During this time, all governance of the Church is paused, except for routine matters handled by the Camerlengo. No new appointments or major decisions can be made until a new pope is elected. 7. Preparation for the Conclave The College of Cardinals gathers in Rome. After at least 15 days but no more than 20 days following the pope’s death, the conclave begins to elect a new pope. Only cardinals under 80 years old are eligible to vote. 8. The Conclave Held in the Sistine Chapel under strict secrecy. Voting continues until a candidate receives two-thirds majority. After a successful vote, the elected cardinal is asked: “Do you accept your canonical election as Supreme Pontiff?” If he says yes, he chooses a papal name. 9. The New Pope is Announced The cardinal proto-deacon steps onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica and declares: “Habemus Papam!” (We have a Pope!) The new pope then appears and gives his first Urbi et Orbi blessing.

  • Your grandfather built many houses, and your father and his siblings couldn't even fill all of them.

    Your father built his own houses. Lived in just 1. Some of the properties periodically need maintenance, and you spend money on it.

    You are now a man, tell me exactly why you want to build another house when you could just live in one of those?

    What kind of a deadly culture of "I must have my own house" is that?

    Now that you have your own house, and so?

    Deadly US strikes hit Yemen fuel port used by Huthis
    https://jordantimes.com/news/region/deadly-us-strikes-hit-yemen-fuel-port-used-huthis

    <!-- google_ad_section_start -->SANAA — The US military said it had destroyed a key Yemeni fuel port as it targets the country's Huthi rebels, who said Friday that 20 people had been killed in the strikes.
     
    The attack on the Ras Issa fuel port aimed to cut off a source of supplies and funds for the Iran-backed Huthis, the US military said.
     
    Washington has hammered the Huthis with near-daily air strikes since March 15 in a bid to end their attacks on civilian shipping and military vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
     
    The rebels began their attacks in late 2023, claiming solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Israel's army said Friday they had intercepted an incoming missile from Yemen.
     
    In a statement, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said: "US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Huthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Huthi efforts to terrorise the entire region for over 10 years. 
     
    "The objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Huthis, who continue to exploit and bring great pain upon their fellow countrymen".
     
    Ships "have continued to supply fuel via the port of Ras Issa" despite Washington designating the rebels a foreign terrorist organisation earlier this year, the military command added, without specifying the source of the fuel.
     
    Huthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi said the preliminary death toll stood at 20, including five paramedics.
     
    There were also "50 wounded workers and employees at the Ras Issa oil port, following the American aggression", he said on X.
     
    "The death toll is likely to rise as body parts are still being identified," he added.
     
    Fireball 
     
    The port lies along the west coast of Yemen on the Red Sea.
     
    In images broadcast early Friday by the rebels' Al-Masira channel, which it presented as the "first images of the US aggression" against the port, a fireball lit up the area around the ships, while thick columns of smoke rose above what appeared to be an ongoing blaze.
     
    "Civil defence rescue teams and paramedics are making every effort to search for and extract victims and extinguish the fire," said Alasbahi.
     
    The Huthis have regularly fired missiles and drones on Israel since the war in Gaza broke out in October 2023 following an attack on Israel by Hamas militants.
     
    "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted," Israel's army said Friday on Telegram, adding that aerial defence systems had been deployed "to intercept the threat".
     
    Huthi attacks have hampered shipping through the Suez Canal -- a vital route that normally carries about 12 percent of world shipping traffic -- forcing many companies into a costly detour around the tip of southern Africa.
     
    The United States first began conducting strikes against the Huthis under president Joe Biden's administration, and his successor President Donald Trump has vowed that military action against the rebels would continue until they are no longer a threat to shipping.
     
    On Thursday evening, France's Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said a French frigate in the Red Sea destroyed a drone launched from Yemen.
     
    "Our armed forces continue their commitment to ensuring maritime freedom of movement," he said on X.
     
    US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told journalists Thursday that the Chinese satellite firm Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company was "directly supporting Iran-backed Huthi terrorist attacks on US interests".
     
    "Their actions -- and Beijing's support of the company, even after our private engagements with them -- is yet another example of China's empty claims to support peace," she said.
     

    Bruce did not initially provide details on the nature of the company's support for the rebels, but later referred to "a Chinese company providing satellite imagery to the Huthis."

    Hizbollah 'will not let anyone disarm' it, says chief
    https://jordantimes.com/news/region/hizbollah-will-not-let-anyone-disarm-it-says-chief

    <!-- google_ad_section_start -->BEIRUT, Lebanon — Hizbollah "will not let anyone disarm" it, the Lebanese group's leader Naim Qassem said Friday, as Washington presses Beirut to compel the Iran-backed movement to hand over its weapons.
     
    Hezbollah, long a dominant force in Lebanese politics, was left weakened by more than a year of hostilities with Israel sparked by the Gaza war, including an Israeli ground incursion and two months of heavy bombardment that decimated the group's leadership.
     
    The fighting was largely brought to an end by a November ceasefire, but not before the group's longtime leader and Qassem's predecessor Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli air strike.
     
    "We will not let anyone disarm Hezbollah or disarm the resistance" against Israel, Qassem said in remarks on a Hezbollah-affiliated TV channel. 
     
    "We must cut this idea of disarmament from the dictionary."
     
    His comments came hours after another Hizbollah official said the group refused to discuss handing over its weapons unless Israel withdrew completely from south Lebanon and halted its "aggression".
     
    "It is not a question of disarming," Wafic Safa said in an interview with Hizbollah’s Al-Nur radio station.
     
    "What the president (Joseph Aoun) said in his inauguration speech is a defensive strategy." 
     
    Safa, believed by experts to belong to the movement's most radical faction, said Hezbollah had conveyed its position to Aoun, who on Tuesday said he sought "to make 2025 the year of restricting arms to the state".
     
    In his interview, Safa asked: "Wouldn't it be logical for Israel to first withdraw, then release the prisoners, then cease its aggression... and then we discuss a defensive strategy?
     
    "The defensive strategy is about thinking about how to protect Lebanon, not preparing for the party to hand over its weapons."
     
    Analysts have said that the once unthinkable idea of Hezbollah disarming may no longer be so, and may even be inevitable.
     
    Problem is Israel' 
     
    Under the November ceasefire, Israel was meant to withdraw all of its forces from south Lebanon.
     
    But despite the deal, its troops have remained at five south Lebanon positions that they deem "strategic".
     
    Israel has also continued to carry out near-daily strikes against Lebanon -- including on Friday -- saying it is targeting members of Hezbollah.
     
    Under the truce, Hizbollah was to pull its fighters back north of Lebanon's Litani River and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south.
     
    Lebanon's army has been deploying in the south as Israeli forces pulled back.
     
    Hezbollah says the ceasefire does not apply to the rest of Lebanon, despite being based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for the disarmament of non-state groups.
     
    Hizbollah was the only group to keep its weapons after Lebanon's 15-year civil war ended in 1990, saying that they were for "resistance" against Israel, which continued to occupy the south until 2000.
     
    US special envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus, who visited Beirut this month, said Washington continued to press Beirut "to fully fulfil the cessation of hostilities, and that includes disarming Hizbollah and all militias". 
     
    Safa said on Friday that both Hezbollah and the Lebanese army were respecting the terms of the truce.
     
    "The problem is Israel, which has not done so," he said.
     
    On Saturday, a source close to Hezbollah told AFP that the group had ceded to the Lebanese army around 190 of its 265 military positions identified south of the Litani.

    US to withdraw some 1,000 troops from Syria
    https://jordantimes.com/news/world/us-withdraw-some-1000-troops-syria

    <!-- google_ad_section_start -->WASHINGTON — The United States will roughly halve the number of troops it has deployed in Syria to less than 1,000 in the coming months, the Pentagon said Friday.
     
    Washington has had troops in Syria for years as part of international efforts against the Daesh terror group, which rose out of the chaos of the country's civil war to seize swaths of territory there and in neighboring Iraq over a decade ago.
     
    The brutal extremists have since suffered major defeats in both countries, but still remain a threat.
     
    "Today the secretary of defense directed the consolidation of US forces in Syria... to select locations," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement, without specifying the sites where this would take place.
     
    "This deliberate and conditions-based process will bring the US footprint in Syria down to less than 1,000 US forces in the coming months," he said.
     
    President Donald Trump has long been skeptical of Washington's presence in Syria, ordering the withdrawal of troops during his first term but ultimately leaving American forces in the country.
     
    As Islamist-led rebels pressed forward with a lightning offensive last December that ultimately overthrew Syrian president Bashar Al Assad, Trump said Washington should "NOT GET INVOLVED!"
     
    "Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT," Trump, then the president-elect, wrote on his Truth Social platform.
     
    Years of war against Daesh
     
    The 2014 onslaught by Daesh prompted a US-led air campaign in support of local ground forces -- the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Iraqi government units.
     
    Washington also deployed thousands of American personnel to advise and assist local forces, with US troops in some cases directly fighting the jihadists.
     
    After years of bloody warfare, Iraq's prime minister announced a final victory over IS in December 2017, while the SDF proclaimed the defeat of the group's "caliphate" in March 2019 after seizing its final bastion in Syria.
     
    But the extremists still have some fighters in the countryside of both countries, and US forces have long carried out periodic strikes and raids to help prevent the group's resurgence.
     
    Washington stepped up military action against Daesh in Syria in the wake of Assad's overthrow, though it has more recently shifted its focus to strikes targeting Yemen's Huthi rebels, who have been attacking international shipping since late 2023.
     
    US forces in Iraq and Syria were repeatedly targeted by pro-Iran militants following the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, but responded with heavy strikes on Tehran-linked targets, and the attacks largely subsided.
     
    Washington for years said it had some 900 military personnel in Syria as part of international efforts against Daesh, but the Pentagon announced in December 2024 that the number of US troops in the country had doubled to around 2,000 earlier in the year.
     
    While the United States is reducing its forces in Syria, Iraq has also sought an end to the US-led coalition's presence there, where Washington has said it has some 2,500 troops.
     
    The United States and Iraq have announced that the coalition would end its decade-long military mission in federal Iraq by the end of 2025, and by September 2026 in the autonomous Kurdistan region.

THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT," Trump, then the president-elect, wrote on his Truth Social platform.   Years of war against Daesh   The 2014 onslaught by Daesh prompted a US-led air campaign in support of local ground forces -- the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Iraqi government units.   Washington also deployed thousands of American personnel to advise and assist local forces, with US troops in some cases directly fighting the jihadists.   After years of bloody warfare, Iraq's prime minister announced a final victory over IS in December 2017, while the SDF proclaimed the defeat of the group's "caliphate" in March 2019 after seizing its final bastion in Syria.   But the extremists still have some fighters in the countryside of both countries, and US forces have long carried out periodic strikes and raids to help prevent the group's resurgence.   Washington stepped up military action against Daesh in Syria in the wake of Assad's overthrow, though it has more recently shifted its focus to strikes targeting Yemen's Huthi rebels, who have been attacking international shipping since late 2023.   US forces in Iraq and Syria were repeatedly targeted by pro-Iran militants following the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, but responded with heavy strikes on Tehran-linked targets, and the attacks largely subsided.   Washington for years said it had some 900 military personnel in Syria as part of international efforts against Daesh, but the Pentagon announced in December 2024 that the number of US troops in the country had doubled to around 2,000 earlier in the year.   While the United States is reducing its forces in Syria, Iraq has also sought an end to the US-led coalition's presence there, where Washington has said it has some 2,500 troops.   The United States and Iraq have announced that the coalition would end its decade-long military mission in federal Iraq by the end of 2025, and by September 2026 in the autonomous Kurdistan region. <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Image:  A few minutes ago, the Russian Defense Ministry published unique footage of the destruction of another American multiple launch rocket system 'HIMARS'.

    Deadly US strikes hit Yemen fuel port used by Huthis
    SANAA — The US military said it had destroyed a key Yemeni fuel port as it targets the country's Huthi rebels, who said Friday that 20 people had been killed in the strikes. The attack on the Ras Issa fuel port aimed to cut off a source of supplies and funds for the Iran-backed Huthis, the US military said. Washington has hammered the Huthis with near-daily air strikes since March 15 in a bid to end their attacks on civilian shipping and military vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The rebels began t
