AI Green, a Democratic Congressman, has threatened to file articles of impeachment against the United States, US President, Donald Trump in the next 30 days.

The lawmaker, who believes that the president “does not deserve” the White House, said Trump may not complete four years in office.

Addressing a mammoth crowd during the “hands off” protest on Saturday, AI Green described himself as the ‘David’ that would bring the Goliath (Trump) down.

He said, “For every Goliath there is a David. I want you to know Mr President, this David is going to file articles of impeachment against you within the next 30 days.

“I’m bringing articles of impeachment, I’m coming for you Mr President, this David is coming for you”.

Ekwutosblog reports that protests erupted in several cities in the United States on Saturday as opposition against President Trump’s administration continues to thicken.

The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo and M23 rebels engaged in peace talks in Qatar after days of unrest. M23 has withdrawn from the town of Walikale and talks will continue next week.

A delegation of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) government held fresh talks with M23 rebels in Qatar last week about stopping the fighting in the country’s east, a source close to the discussions told news Reuters and AFP news agencies on Saturday.

Both sides have not yet commented on the talks.

The first round of talks was held in late March, which a source close to discussions described as “positive.” The meeting was held in private and talks are set to continue in Doha on April 9.

“Further talks are now expected in Doha, again with the Qataris mediating, to sustain the momentum and explore constructive solutions to end the conflict peacefully,” the source told AFP news agency.

The country’s army on Thursday said rebels had withdrawn from the mining hub of Walikale as decided during talks in March. Initially, they had accused the M23 of not following through on their commitment.

Walikale is the furthest west the M23 has reached.

The conflict in Congo

The eastern Congo conflict’s complexity, rooted in the aftermath of the 1994 Rwandan genocide and competition for mineral resources, is further complicating the mediation efforts.

The DRC has vast reserves of lithium and cobalt and other minerals, especially in the east. This has led to several rebellions and clashes over control of the region.

The ethnic Tutsi-led M23 rebel group was founded in 2012 and remains one of the most powerful rebel groups to operate in the region.

Rwanda has been accused of backing M23, which it has denied.

The unrest in Congo has also spread around the region, with Uganda and Burundi both having troops in the country.

The Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) has condemned the recent attacks on five communities in Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, describing them as “unacceptable” and a serious threat to the peace and stability of the region.

In a statement issued in Gombe, the Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Gombe State, Inuwa Yahaya, expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incident, which claimed several lives and left many others, including women and children, injured.

“The attacks on innocent people are completely unacceptable,” Yahaya said. “We must all stand together in condemning these brutal assaults.”

The statement, released by Ismaila Uba-Misilli, the Director-General of Press Affairs at Gombe Government House, conveyed Yahaya’s condolences to the families of the victims and the people of Plateau.

He described the continuous violence in northern rural communities as a “stain on both the region and the nation,” emphasizing that the sanctity of human life must never be taken lightly.

Yahaya commended Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang for his swift response to the attacks and acknowledged the efforts of security forces in restoring order.

However, he urged authorities to intensify their search for the perpetrators and ensure justice is served.

“The government must not relent in hunting down those responsible for these heinous acts. There can be no justification for the shedding of innocent blood.”

Yahaya stressed the importance of fostering peace and mutual understanding between farmers and herders to promote tolerance and prevent further conflicts.

“As governors in the North, we remain dedicated to ending the cycle of violence through improved security collaboration, dialogue, and policies aimed at fostering peace and unity,” he reaffirmed.

The NSGF Chairman further called on all stakeholders, including religious and community leaders, to support the government’s peace initiatives by promoting dialogue, tolerance, and forgiveness.
