<p>A young ‘influencer’ from war-torn Yemen has become a TikTok sensation in Arab nations by promoting a contentious cause: Support for attacks against ships and vessels in the Red Sea by Houthi rebels. The 19-year-old Rashed Al-Haddad, who lives in the Houthi-held capital Sanaa has been dubbed as "Tim-Huthi Chalamet" by netizens as he looks like "Wonka" star Timothee Chalamet.</p>

<p>"I received many offers to participate in fashion shows and advertisements, but I decided to take advantage of this fame for the Palestinian cause," the so-called influencer was quoted as saying by AFP.</p>

<p>Rashed Al-Haddad has so far made the most out of the crisis in the West Asian region, boosting his reach on social media through making a crazy popular video shot aboard Galaxy Leader, the Israel-linked cargo ship that was captured in November.</p>

<p>The Houthi rebels have disrupted the global shipping routes by waging relentless attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, causing companies to opt for longer and costlier alternative around South Africa. These actions have led the US to declare Houthis a terrorist organisation and an international coalition led by the US and UK to launch strikes in Yemen.</p>

<p>With increased international attention on Yemen, Rashed too witnessed a drastic rise in his popularity and user engagement on social media.</p>

<p>“When I started on TikTok, I posted videos of the ship (Galaxy Leader) that was seized by the Yemenis. When I posted the video clips, they reached millions of views within four days," he told AFP in Sanaa, wearing a combat belt with a rifle slung across his lap.</p>

<p>Support for what most Western nations see as ‘terrorism’ led TikTok to delete his account permanently. He was also deplatformed from Instagram and Facebook, owned by Meta, for violating their hate speech guidelines.</p>

<p>A Ugandan minister has courted controversy for calling those who have died of hunger in the African country&nbsp;"idiots".&nbsp;Henry Okello Oryem, the state minister for foreign affairs made the tone-deaf comment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Oryem argued that people should utilise Uganda's favourable climate and fertile land by growing food for themselves.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's only an idiot, a real idiot, that can die of hunger in Uganda,"&nbsp;Oryem told the NTV Uganda television channel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"If you work hard, there is land in Uganda. The climate is right in spite [of] climate change. If you make a double effort to make sure that you go out in the morning, you till your land, you plant the seeds, you maintain your plantation, surely, how do you fail then to get food?"</p>

<p>The comments sparked outrage immediately, with&nbsp;Moses Aleper, a legislator for Chekwii County attacking Oryem for his insensitivity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'm from one of the most productive parts of Karamoja where there is adequate rain and we produce food. But in situations where the weather fails us, the weather vagaries set in, we definitely fail to get food. And normally people definitely get famine and eventually hunger strikes," he told BBC.</p>

<p>Notably, Oryem's comments came days after Ugandan President&nbsp;Yoweri Museveni addressed the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) delegates and said the&nbsp;disturbing images depicting death from starvation in the country did not accurately portray the overall situation across the African continent.</p>

<p>“When you are out there, you may get stereotypes that we have no food, but we are dying from food here.&nbsp;Those images you see are not representative of all of Africa," said&nbsp;Museveni.</p>

<p>Former United States president and current presidential frontrunner Donald Trump gave a brief testimony on Thursday (Jan 25) in author E Jean Carroll's second defamation trial against him. According to a report by CNN, Trump's testimony in a New York court lasted for less than five minutes as he sought to avoid a multimillion-dollar jury verdict against him in the civil defamation trial.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Carroll, 80, is suing Trump for his&nbsp;June 2019 denials that he raped her in the mid-1990s in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan. The former Elle magazine advice columnist is seeking at least $10 million.</p>

<h2><strong>Trump's appearance on witness stand for mere minutes</strong></h2>

<p>Amid speculations about his appearance in the trial, Trump was on the witness stand for mere minutes on Thursday, CNN reported. The defence's questions were effectively pre-cleared by Judge Lewis Kaplan as the former president was allowed to re-litigate the verdict from last year, the report added.</p>

<p>“Ms Habba, you may call your next witness,” Judge Kaplan said to Alina Habba, Trump’s lawyer. Trump walked to the witness stand and sat after being sworn in. Habba asked whether Trump stood by his testimony in a previous deposition denying Carroll’s allegations.</p>

<p>“One hundred per cent, yes,” the 77-year-old replied.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Did you deny the allegation because Ms Carroll made an accusation,” Habba asked, to which Trump said, "That’s exactly right, yes I did. She said something that I considered a false accusation – totally false."</p>

<p>At this point, Trump was cut off by Judge Kaplan, who did not allow him to testify about denying the claim.</p>

<p>“Did you ever instruct anyone to hurt Ms. Carroll in your statements?” Habba asked her final question. “No I just wanted to defend myself, my family and frankly the presidency,” Trump responded.</p>
