🇾🇪⚡- Ansarullah may be preparing to launch a major offensive against Jabal Habashi, the PLC's last significant stronghold in the northwestern Ta'izz direction, within the coming hours.
Large al-Houthi convoys have been arriving in the al-Jinan area over the past 30 to 60 minutes, with movements still ongoing at this very moment. The reinforcements appear to be originating from the Red Sea coast and are travelling along the N3 highway via al-Mafraq and the Khalid bin Walid Military Camp. The forces make a temporary stop in the town of al-Rahba before continuing towards Jabal al-Jinan.
🇾🇪❌🇸🇦 – Alerts were issued in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.

🇱🇾 🇦🇪 🇸🇩 Libya still appears to play a central role in the UAE-backed supply network moving support to the RSF in Sudan.
Satellite imagery from three months ago showed a major build-up at an RSF camp in SE Libya with at least 300 technical vehicles visible inside the site.
Three to four types of technicals and pickups were visible at the RSF camp in southeastern Libya when the image was captured, apparently staged there before moving into Sudan as the RSF built up for its Kordofan offensive.
Six large semi-trailer trucks were also visible at the camp. Four appeared to be carrying fuel or water tanks for vehicles and fighters heading towards Sudan, while two others seemed to be loaded with containers, likely supporting RSF convoy logistics.

🏳️🇹🇷🇷🇺🇲🇱 The Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) in Mali is seeking Turkish mediation in the conflict with Bamako and its Russian ally.
The Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) in Mali has disclosed direct contacts with Russia’s Africa Corps and called for dialogue with Turkey to help find a political solution to the country’s crisis.
In an exclusive interview with Middle East Eye, FLA spokesperson Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane said the Tuareg separatist group hopes for engagement with Ankara, whose growing influence has made it an important player in the country.
While the two factions are coordinating their offensives, seizing towns and army bases, blockading Bamako and killing the Defence Minister Sadio Camara, they have different objectives: the FLA seeks an autonomous Tuareg state in Mali’s northeast while JNIM wants to topple the government.
An FLA/JNIM offensive in April exposed the vulnerabilities of that Russian deployment in the north. Africa Corps personnel withdrew from the strategic city of Kidal before the FLA seized it.
And in July, reports emerged of possible arrangements between the FLA and Africa Corps amid fighting around Anefis, 100km southeast of Kidal.
Ramadane said that the FLA have been in direct contact with the Africa Corps, but stressed that those exchanges did not amount to political negotiations or a strategic rapprochement.
“I can confirm that there were direct contacts in certain contexts, notably around questions related to movements, withdrawals and the situation in certain areas,” he said.
“In a conflict, there are sometimes channels of communication with the adversary to avoid incidents, manage certain situations or facilitate occasional arrangements,” he added.
“This does not mean that the political objectives of the parties have become compatible.”
Ankara has sold armed drones and other equipment to Mali’s military government since 2023, while bilateral trade has tripled over the past decade.
Defence has become an increasingly important part of that relationship: since 2024, arms and ammunition have accounted for 20 percent of Turkey’s exports to Mali, ahead of electronic equipment, industrial machinery and cereals, according to a report by Le Monde.
The FLA wanted channels of dialogue through which it could explain its position directly to Ankara and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, he added, rather than via the Turkish military alone.
Ramadane said the FLA’s appeals to Erdogan were not an attempt to recruit another foreign patron.
“We do not ask Turkey to take a military side with the FLA. We ask it first to listen and understand,” he said.
He argued that Turkey’s influence in Africa and the Muslim world, combined with its close relationship with Bamako, gave it a particular responsibility.

🇨🇳🤖 China called for global cooperation in AI development for humanity's benefit, dismissing the AI-pocalypse narratives peddled by CEOs like Dario Amodei and Sam Altman
In China and the rest of East Asia, AI development is viewed as a public utility meant for the greater good of the society whereas in the U.S. and Europe AIs is something beholden to private interests hence the stark contrast in the perception of AI usage which is extremely negative in the West while it is largely positive in Asia.

‘The South [of Yemen] has its own people, and they are most deserving to govern it. Saudi Arabia should remove its hand from them.’
This confirms that Ansarallah is not looking to capture Aden by force, but rather to establish good ties with an independent southern Yemeni state.

🇨🇳⚓️ China’s New Giant Submarine Drone Mothership
A new vessel spotted at a Chinese shipyard is likely the world’s first mothership designed to deploy submarine drones. It represents the latest piece in the puzzle of China’s undeclared effort to develop and deploy full-sized uncrewed submarines.
The pace and ambition of China’s naval modernization continue to accelerate. Just 25 years ago, Beijing’s navy was an outdated coastal force. Today, China builds more warships than any other country. And in a growing number of cases, its warships are not just competitive with those of other nations, but more advanced and forward-leaning. Now, China is building another vessel that could be the first of its kind in the world.
The new ship has been seen under construction at Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard in Shanghai. Naval News has reviewed multiple satellite images to assess its likely role. It appears unique, but by far the most plausible explanation is that it is a special drone submarine mothership.
China has already become the first and only country to build full-size submarines which are uncrewed. Referred to as XXLUUVs (extra-extra large uncrewed underwater vehicles), two types have been observed under testing in Hainan. At 35 and 45 meters (115-148 feet) long they are around 6-8 times the overall size of the U.S. Navy’s Boeing Orca XLUUV. It is likely that the two models are in direct competition.
They have been tested in floating docks, at least one specially designed for this purpose. The XXLUUVs are housed in the docks while in port and carried out to sea where they are launched and recovered directly from the dock.
This arrangement suits testing, but it appears that the Chinese Navy (PLAN) wishes for a more robust and versatile host platform. The new vessel resembles an amphibious landing ship (LPD) with a well-deck in the stern. However this well-deck is open below the submarine and a large cradle can be inserted. This is lowered below the vessel on 12 vertical ‘jack up’ arms.

🌎 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 The U.S. is stripping $52 million in military aid to Europe and the Middle East to back Trump-allied governments in Latin America.
The State Department on Tuesday notified Congress that it will reprogram $52 million in foreign military financing from Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia and Iraq to Panama, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Colombia, Ecuador and Peru last week and pledged to them additional support as the Trump administration has prioritized the Western Hemisphere in its foreign policy with an emphasis on combating drug trafficking and illegal immigration.
It is just the latest in a series of moves that have reduced either money or troop deployments to Europe in response to President Donald Trump’s complaints about NATO allies not spending enough on their defense budgets and other matters. Both North Macedonia and Slovakia are NATO members.
The State Department said the funds would be used to “combat narcoterrorism in our backyard and help continue to secure the Panama Canal,” adding that the Western Hemisphere has been historically neglected in U.S. military assistance.
“These funds will prevent adversaries from establishing strategic footholds in our hemisphere,” the department said in a veiled jab at China, which has increasingly sought to boost its presence in Latin America.

🇶🇦 Qatar's LNG Exports Collapsed 90% In One Quarter
Qatar's LNG shipments fell from roughly 20 million tonnes a quarter a year ago to under 2 million tonnes between April and June 2026.
Oil and gas revenue followed: Q1 2026 came in at 32.7 billion riyals, and the budget deficit then doubled to $5.8 billion in Q2, the widest quarterly gap since 2016.
The IMF now projects Qatar's economy contracts more than 8% this year.
Qatar does not have pipeline routes that bypass Hormuz and that is the whole story here.
Ras Laffan halted in March for the first time in nearly 3 decades, and non-energy revenue rising almost fivefold in Q2 has not come close to covering the gap.
This is what happens to a state budget when a country's entire export model runs through one strait.

🇨🇳🤖 How China is preparing for the risk of AI escaping human control
Beijing sees AI as a manageable risk not an extinction event
While the debate in the U.S. is focused on whether frontier AI could pose an existential threat to humanity, Chinese policymakers have generally treated AI as a powerful but governable technology whose risks can be contained through technical standards, regulation and state oversight.
"Chinese and American experts largely agree on AI risks," said Brian Tse, founder and CEO of Concordia AI, a Beijing- and Singapore-based AI safety and governance research group, adding the difference was on "how risks are framed and prioritised".
China has not proposed embedding independent monitors inside AI companies, as Anthropic has advocated. Its emerging regime instead relies on developer obligations, state-backed standards, security assessments and outside testing.
That approach is also shaped by a major difference in the two countries' AI industries.
Chinese developers have increasingly promoted open-weight models. These refer to systems whose underlying parameters can be downloaded, inspected and modified. Their leading U.S. rivals such as Anthropic and OpenAI, however, do not make these specifications publicly available.
Policy issued in May by China's cyberspace regulator, economic planner and industry ministry identifies "operational loss of control" as a security risk for AI agents, systems that can plan and carry out multi-step tasks more independently than conventional chatbots.
The rules require developers to improve their ability to discover, intervene in, block and recover from improper agent behaviour.
The policy also calls on developers to guard against risks including data poisoning, algorithm manipulation and system vulnerabilities. It also says users should be informed about agents' autonomous decisions and retain final decision-making authority.
China has also begun drafting a mandatory national standard for AI agent safety, which Concordia's Tse said would be the world's first of its kind.
Wang Lihong, a senior official at the cyberspace regulator, said on September 1 that particular vigilance was needed over frontier models bypassing sandbox environments, circumventing safety boundaries and attacking external real-world production systems.
China's regulatory approach differs from calls in some Western AI-safety circles for developers to slow or pause development of the most capable models until stronger safeguards are in place.
It has instead since early this year pushed for the integration of AI into all industries, part of Beijing's bid to make technology the new engine of the world's second-largest economy.
But China has also shown it can delay deployment when officials believe governance has not caught up.
In 2023, Chinese companies delayed chatbot launches for months while the CAC finalised rules governing generative AI services. Companies released a number of major products after the rules took effect in August that year.

🔸🇺🇸 Solidarity files OECD complaint against Amazon over 100% exclusion of white South Africans
Solidarity filed a complaint today against Amazon Web Services with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Washington, DC, over its exclusion of businesses with any white ownership from a development programme for South African small businesses.
According to Solidarity, Amazon’s 100% race-based exclusion violates the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct.
“The US government is right to put pressure on South Africa to scrap race laws that impose trade restrictions on American businesses. However, an American giant is using race-based requirements to enforce trade restrictions in South Africa.”

🛢 Global oil demand is declining sharply amid rising prices:
The IEA has cut its forecast for 2026 global oil demand by -940,000 barrels per day, now expecting consumption to fall -2.5 million barrels per day, the largest annual decline since the 2020 pandemic.
This compares with a -1.6 million barrel per day drop expected in August and just a -100,000 barrel per day expected decline in April.
To put this into perspective, in January, the IEA saw oil consumption rising by over +700,000 barrels per day in 2026.
The downgrade comes as the Iran War disrupts oil supplies and forces consumers to adjust to tighter availability, with the biggest impact expected on diesel and other middle distillates such as jet fuel and heating oil.
The negative impact on oil demand this year is expected to be comparable in size to the 4 largest demand shocks over the last 60 years.

‼️ Out of the ones that arrived from sea 13.535 of these (68%) arrived to Crete, while the rest arrived through the other Aegean islands.
⚠️ It is important to note that the data from UNHCR only accounts for illegal immigrants who requested Asylum and is impossible to account for the illegals that simply arrived unoticed and either went to another country or stayed in Greece illegally
📅 The months of June and August were the ones that saw the most activity, with 4.539 and 5.135 arrivals respectively
👦🏾 Nearly 79% of illegals are adult males, less than 9% are women and 12.5% are minors
⚠️ Sudan (29.4%), Bangladesh (25.8%) and Afghanistan (9.3%) are the top 3 countries for sea arrivals
