Africa Cup: scandal! Referee Gani Sikazwi closed the Tunisia-Mali match twice early
Then he apologized and left the ball. The final whistle in Limbe, Cameroon came after 89:45 minutes, thus 15 seconds premature.
This time the entire Tunisian delegation was furious, and coach Mondher Kabir frantically waved his watch in front of the officials’ noses. The referee team was forced to leave the stadium under the protection of security guards in the face of the wrath of the „Carthage Eagles”.
After about half an hour, the press conference was already in full swing, and it seemed that the game had resumed. The Mali national football team, along with Bundesliga professionals Amadou Haidara of RB Leipzig and Diadie Samasco (TSG Hoffenheim), returned to the field to play the final seconds of normal and stoppage time. However, the Tunisians stayed with Elias Skhiri of Cologne in the cabin, which may indicate a protest.

Concern about Raiola: emergency operation in Haaland’s advisor
8 hours ago
The only goal in less than 90 minutes was scored by Mali striker Ibrahima Kone with a penalty kick in the 48th minute. Tunisian captain Wahbi Khazri failed in his team’s opening match with a penalty kick (77).
’Never seen in 30 years’
„In 30 years in this business, I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Tunisia coach Kebayer. „His decision is inexplicable. We’ll see what happens now.” When it came to returning to the field, his players were „already in ice baths”.
Sikazwe was nominated for the fifth time in the African Championship, he also participated in the 2018 World Cup and presided over two matches of the preliminary round in Russia. This is not the first time it has been the focus of controversy.
Sikaze was once suspended after a CAF Champions League match on suspicion of corruption, CAF announced at the time. However, the suspension was lifted due to a lack of evidence.
The second Group F match between Mauritania and Gambia (0:1) in Limbe did not go according to plan: in three attempts (!), the old anthem of the country, which had been in effect for four years, was played in each case. The Mauritanian players seemed confused and some shook their heads. In the third match of the day in Group E, Ivory Coast celebrated a stunning victory for the favorites in a 1-0 (1-0) win over Equatorial Guinea.

American media talk about an Israeli retaliatory strike against Iran. Hesse cancels the invitation of the Iranian Consul General. More information in the news blog.
The most important things at a glance
According to media reports, Israel carried out a retaliatory strike against Iran. However, there are no official confirmations. Here you will find an overview. You can follow all current developments here on the blog:
Do Hamas leaders want to leave Qatar?
6:31 AM: Hamas political leaders are likely to consider abandoning their base of operations in Qatar. As the Wall Street Journal reported, the leadership is searching for a new location as Qatar comes under increasing pressure to push the terrorist group into hostage truce negotiations with Israel.
The report quoted Arab officials as saying that Hamas recently contacted two countries in the region to allow their leaders to live there, including Oman. An Arab mediator told the newspaper, „The talks have already stopped again, and there are few indications or possibilities for their early resumption, and the lack of trust between Hamas and the negotiators is increasing.”
Explosions at an Iraqi military base
12:30 AM.: Several explosions occurred south of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. Reuters reported that the reason is still unclear. The scene is said to be a military base for the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces, which is considered close to Iran. According to Arab media reports, drones were spotted in the air. It appears that the explosion caused the ammunition to catch fire.
The United States refused to participate. „We are aware of reports that the United States conducted airstrikes in Iraq today. These reports are incorrect. The United States did not conduct airstrikes in Iraq today,” Central Command wrote on the X website.
Two sources told Reuters that the explosion was the result of an air strike that occurred around midnight on Friday. There were no injuries, but property damage occurred. It is said to be the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces at the Kalsu military base near the city of Alexandria, about 50 km south of Baghdad. It is unclear who was responsible for the attack. The Popular Mobilization Forces were originally a coalition of armed groups, many close to Iran, and were later recognized by Iraqi authorities as part of the official security forces.
The United Nations is concerned about the mountains of garbage in the Gaza Strip
8:20 PM: The United Nations is concerned about the large amounts of waste in the Gaza Strip. The United Nations Emergency Relief Office (OCHA) said these pose an environmental and health risk. According to local authorities, there are 270,000 tons of garbage dumped throughout the Gaza Strip that cannot be disposed of. The reason is that the garbage trucks were destroyed in Israeli attacks or ran out of gasoline, and the Israeli authorities did not allow access to the main garbage dump in the eastern part of Gaza City.
There were problems with waste disposal even before the war, but they have worsened significantly since then. Due to the mass expulsion of the population to the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the amount of waste there has doubled. The local authorities did not have the capacity to deal with it. Most IDP camps have uncontrolled garbage dumps.
Erdogan receives Hamas leader Haniyeh
5:35 pm: On Saturday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan received the leader of the terrorist Hamas movement, Ismail Haniyeh. The meeting is scheduled to be held in Istanbul. Erdogan has been considered one of Israel's harshest critics since the beginning of the war sparked by Hamas' attack on Israel. The Turkish president considers Hamas a „resistance group.” Erdogan last received Hanija in Ankara in July 2023. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also participated in the meeting.
The United States imposes sanctions on right-wing activists close to Itamar Ben-Gir
4:29 pm: Right-wing activist Benzi Gopstein was also affected by the third round of sanctions imposed by the United States on Israeli settlers. He is a close associate of Security Minister Itamar Ben Goer. Gopstein founded the Lehava group, “whose members participated in destabilizing acts of violence in the West Bank,” as the US State Department explains. Under his leadership, acts of violence and threats of violence were committed against Palestinians.

„it's over”
President Milanović is not allowed to become Prime Minister of Croatia

Croatian President Milanović spontaneously announces his desire to run for the position of Prime Minister in the parliamentary elections. Now, after a warning has already been issued, the Constitutional Court has finally put a stop to his plans.
Two days after parliamentary elections in Croatia, the country's highest court banned incumbent President Zoran Milanovic from the post of prime minister. President of the Constitutional Court Miroslav Šibarovic said that Milanovic „was warned in time that he could not participate in the election campaign as long as he did not resign from his position as president.”
Milanovic, a left-wing populist, surprisingly announced in March, midway through the election campaign, that he would run for prime minister for the opposition Social Democratic Party. In doing so, he made the election campaign more exciting after Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) had a clear lead in the opinion polls.
The Constitutional Court intervened at the time and declared that Milanović had to resign as president first so that he could run for head of government and a seat in Parliament. However, Milanović ignored this, remained in office and at the same time continued his election campaign. Now the head of the Constitutional Court said: “The matter is over now. He cannot be appointed prime minister.”
His term is scheduled to end next January
Prime Minister Plenkovic's Croatian Democratic Union party won Wednesday's election, but without an absolute majority: it won 61 of the 151 seats in the Croatian parliament, while Milanovic's centre-left coalition, led by Social Democrats, won 42 seats. The right-wing nationalist Homeland Movement came in third place with 14 seats and could become a kingmaker. According to their own statements, the HDZ and the Social Democratic Party have been trying to obtain their majority since the elections.
Plenković's term included, among other things, the introduction of the euro in Croatia and his country's entry into the Schengen Area. The HDZ has largely controlled Croatian politics since Zagreb broke away from Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. The Social Democratic Party was the main opposition party during this time. Milanovic was Prime Minister of Croatia from 2011 to 2016. His term ends in January.
Former Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor has now said that the court itself is violating the constitution with its decisions. Leftist politician Dalia Oreskovic described Croatia's Supreme Court as „one of several hijacked institutions.”

According to the American channel ABC News, Israel is said to have carried out a counterattack against Iran. Unspecified targets are said to have been struck in the country. There are still no reports of casualties or damage. American Radio refers to a high-ranking US government official.
CNN and CBS News also reported a military strike. According to a CNN source, the target of the attack was “non-nuclear.” There has been no official confirmation yet from the Israeli or American side.
Iranian official media reported that “explosions” were heard near the city of Isfahan. However, the cause is still unclear. There are various military targets in the area surrounding the city, as well as parts of Iranian nuclear facilities. According to Iranian media, anti-aircraft defenses were activated in several other provinces and several drones were shot down.
The Israeli attack on Iran had been expected for days after the Shiite theocracy directly attacked Israel with hundreds of drones and missiles for the first time in history over the weekend. However, through its various proxies, Tehran has been waging a shadow war against the Jewish state for many years. Hamas, which attacked Israel on October 7, is also funded by Iran. (Teaspoon)
