GREENLAND: Prime Minster Mute Bourup Egede said today that “Greenland is ours” and cannot be taken or bought.

The declaration came in defiance of a message from US President Donald Trump, who said he intends to acquire the territory “one way or another” — even though his administration supports the Arctic island’s right of self-determination.

SOUTH SUDAN: South Sudanese soldiers surrounded Vice-President Riek Machar’s home in the capital today, arresting several of his allies after an armed group allied to him overran an army base in the country’s north.
