Burkina Faso Protesters Rally in Defense of Interim President After Alleged Coup Attempt
In Burkina Faso, thousands of people rallied in support of interim President Ibrahim Traoré Wednesday, after military rulers said they foiled a plot to overthrow his transitional government.

Protesters also condemned recent comments by General Michael Langley, head of the U.S. military’s Africa Command, who accused Traoré of using Burkina Faso’s gold reserves to benefit himself rather than the people. This is a protester in Ouagadougou. Salifou Ouédraogo: “Words like ‘democracy,’ ‘human rights,’ no one can teach that in Africa. The African continent was the first continent that produced democracy, but not that of the West, which consists of burning countries, burning continents that do not think like them. Here we are today so that our country remains standing, so that our continent remains standing.”

“I Am Not Afraid of You”: Mohsen Mahdawi Sends Message to Trump After Release from ICE Detention
A federal judge in Vermont has granted bail and released from ICE jail Palestinian Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi while he challenges the Trump administration’s efforts to deport him for joining protests against Israel’s assault on Gaza. U.S. District Judge Geoffrey Crawford ruled the Trump administration failed to show why Mahdawi should remain in confinement, condemning “chilling action by the government intended to shut down debate.” Mohsen Mahdawi emerged from the courthouse to a jubilant crowd of supporters, both arms in the air, holding up the V for victory sign with his hands — also the gesture for peace. Mohsen Mahdawi: “And I am saying it clear and loud to President Trump and his Cabinet: I am not afraid of you.” Mahdawi also asked the crowd to join him in singing “We Shall Overcome.” Mahdawi was jailed by ICE in April after appearing for what he was told would be a naturalization test. He was a lead organizer in Columbia’s Gaza solidarity protests. We’ll get the latest on his case after headlines with a member of Mohsen Mahdawi’s legal defense team.

Remembering Hossam Shabat: Gaza Journalist Killed by Israel Was Placed on “Hit List” Before His Death
On Monday, Israeli strikes killed two Palestinian journalists: Al Jazeera’s Hossam Shabat, who was 23 years old, and Palestine Today’s Mohammed Mansour, who was killed in his apartment alongside his wife. This brings the total number of journalists that Israel has killed in Gaza over the past year and a half to 206. Just before his death, Shabat had shared news of Mansour’s killing on social media and filed an article with Drop Site News describing Israel’s scorched-earth campaign in his hometown of Beit Hanoun. His editor Sharif Abdel Kouddous remembers Shabat as a “warm and funny person,” dedicated to his job and his community. In recent months, he had been under increasing surveillance by the Israeli military, which labeled him a terrorist and placed him on a “hit list.” Despite being “targeted and openly hunted,” Shabat “continued nevertheless to cover the genocide of his people.”
