A group of armed attackers heading towards the Presidential Palace in Encemine, the capital of Chad, were neutralized by security forces yesterday after some gunshots were heard nearby. More than one of the attackers, described by the Chadian press as Boko Haram militants, were killed, while others were captured alive.

“I am currently in the presidential palace, where the situation is under control. There is nothing to worry about. It was a minor incident. It is not a big deal,” Chad’s Foreign Minister Abderaman Koulamallah said.

The attack was interpreted as a coup attempt.

Chad held legislative and municipal elections on December 29, 2024.

Syria Unveils New National Emblem

0

 

Following the fall of the Assad regime, Syria has introduced a new national emblem—the “Golden Eagle”—marking a symbolic break from the 61-year Baathist rule. The emblem was unveiled during nationwide celebrations, including a major ceremony in Damascus’ Unknown Soldier Square, with fireworks, local dances, and cavalry shows.

The new emblem, replacing all state symbols, features an eagle with 14 feathers on its wings for the country’s provinces and 5 tail feathers representing major geographic regions. Three stars on the bird’s head symbolize the centrality of the people. Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara described it as a symbol of strength and unity, stating, “Today, a new era begins.”

Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani said the logo reflects “the end of the old regime’s culture.” The ceremony concluded with a drone tribute to Hamza Al-Khatib, a symbol of the Syrian revolution, as the slogan “Syria belongs to all Syrians” lit up the sky.
