Tens of Thousands of Jordanians Gather as Zain Celebrates Jordan's 79th Independence Day with a Grand Festival at King Abdullah
In a majestic national scene that brought together tens of thousands of Jordanians, Zain Jordan celebrated the Kingdom's 79th Independence Day by organizing a massive public festival at King Abdullah II Park in Al-Muqabalein. The celebration was filled with an atmosphere of pride, patriotism, and loyalty to the wise Hashemite leadership. The event ran from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and witnessed wide attendance from families, children, and youth from across the Kingdom. It was attended by Amman Governor Yasser Al-Adwan, Sub-Governor of Al-Qweismeh District, Director of South Amman Police, Commander of the Capital Region, and a group of local community representatives. Zain curated a comprehensive national program for the event, hosted by media personalities Mohammad Al-Wakeel and Razan Salameh. The lineup featured impressive performances by the Jordanian Armed Forces Band, an air show by the Royal Jordanian Air Force's F-16 jets, and a skydiving show by the elite Free Fall Team—Jordanian Special Forces and the Falcons of the Aerial Operations Unit. A patriotic highlight of the evening was the release of a giant Jordanian flag soaring through the skies of the capital. The celebration also included interactive segments with popular content creators Yazan Nobani, Ahmad Ghanem (Abu Al-Ghor), and ElMenz team consisting of Moath Bzour, Hamzeh Al-Ghazou, and Mohammad Al-Zghoul. Zain handed out valuable prizes to the crowd, which responded with great enthusiasm. The festivities continued with a lineup of musical and folkloric performances by beloved Jordanian stars including Hussein Al-Salman, Saad Abu Tayeh, Hussam and Wissam Al-Louzi, and Hamdi Al-Munasir, in addition to the Ma'an Folklore Troupe, which added an authentic traditional flavor to the event. Zain had kicked off its Independence Day celebrations by changing the name of its network to 'J079' on subscribers' phones—a symbolic gesture blending Jordan's national mobile code '079' with the number '79' representing the years of independence, creating a unified name that reflects national pride and Zain's deep-rooted connection to Jordanian identity. Zain also gifted all its subscribers a free 79 GB data bundle through its mobile app (Zain Jo), enabling them to follow and share the Kingdom's Independence Day celebrations across social media platforms. Organizing this national event reaffirms Zain's commitment to its patriotic role and its dedication to celebrating with Jordanians on all national occasions—especially Independence Day, which the company has commemorated with grand celebrations for the past 20 years. The day symbolizes sovereignty, unity, and dignity. This celebration also aligns with Zain's strategy to instill national values and strengthen the sense of belonging and loyalty to the homeland and its Hashemite leadership, the unwavering guardians of independence and progress. It is worth mentioning that Zain also took part in the Independence Day festivities held yesterday, Saturday, at The Royal Automobile Museum in Al Hussein Gardens, which included a variety of national and entertainment activities for families and children, and featured the unveiling of the museum's new logo.

Arab Weather: A relatively hot to hot air mass affects Jordan on Sunday and Monday
Khaberni -It is expected that the Kingdom will be affected on Sunday and Monday by a relatively hot to hot air mass coming from the Arabian Peninsula, leading to a temporary and noticeable increase in temperatures, according to the Arab Weather Regional Center. According to details, the air mass will start affecting the Kingdom starting from Sunday, reaching its peak on Monday, where temperatures are expected to be about 7 to 9 degrees Celsius higher than the usual rates for this time of the year. Relatively hot weather will prevail in the mountainous highlands, while it will be hot in various regions of the Kingdom, and extremely hot in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, Aqaba, and large parts of the eastern desert. Temperatures touch the forties in some areas Estimates indicate that the maximum temperatures will range in the capital Amman and major cities between the early and mid-thirties Celsius, while they may reach the mid-forties in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, Aqaba, and the eastern regions. Moderate weather at night and an increase in nighttime temperatures It is also expected that nighttime temperatures will rise compared with previous nights, making the weather moderate in the western regions and the eastern plains, and warm in the rest of the Kingdom, especially during the early night hours. No upcoming heat waves despite the hot weather Specialists at the Arab Weather Center confirmed that the hot air mass is not deep enough to cause a heat wave in the Kingdom, which means that the temperatures, despite rising, will not reach peak levels, and there are currently no indicators of heat waves in the coming days. Reason for weather changes The center attributed the reason for the hot air pushing towards the Kingdom and the Levant to the flow of an air mass colder than usual coming from the European continent towards North Africa, which pushed the hot air to extend towards the Eastern Mediterranean. It is expected that temperatures will start to gradually decrease starting from Tuesday.

Sudanese Army Takes Control of Dabibat with an Ultimatum for Rapid Support to Exit Al Fasher
Khaberni - Tell me - The spokesperson for the Sudanese Army announced that its forces have tightened control over the city of Dabibat in South Kordofan, western part of the country, after battles with Rapid Support Forces. The joint forces allied with the army confirmed that they inflicted heavy losses on the Rapid Support Forces in the city of Dabibat, in both lives and equipment. The statement pointed out that the retaking of Dabibat represents an important step in securing the Kordofan region (3 states) and advancing towards the Darfur region (5 states). Elements of the Sudanese Army posted video clips on social media platforms, announcing their entry into Dabibat and the defeat of the Rapid Support Forces. Dabibat, located 186 kilometers from Kadugli, the state capital, is a strategic city as it connects South Kordofan to North Kordofan and East Darfur states. The control over Dabibat also paves the way to lift the siege on Delanj, which is 60 kilometers away, and is the second-largest city in South Kordofan in terms of area. In the meantime, Abu Aaqla Kaikl, the commander of the Sudan Shield Forces fighting alongside the Sudanese Army, gave the Rapid Support Forces 48 hours to leave the city of Al Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State. Kaikl added in a speech to a group of his fighters that the Sudan Shield Forces and all formations of the Sudanese Army would head to Al Fasher to break the siege on it. Direct confrontation On the other hand, Abdul Rahim Dagalo, the deputy commander of the Rapid Support Forces, said that his forces managed to neutralize the warplanes belonging to the Sudanese Army, including drones. Dagalo added, addressing some Rapid Support soldiers, that "the war is now fully engaged" in all its details, and emphasized that the Rapid Support Forces are ready to perform their military duties, armed with various types of weapons. These developments come days after the Sudanese authorities announced full control over the states of Khartoum and White Nile, and their clearance from Rapid Support Forces, without comment from the latter. Over the past few weeks and at an accelerated pace, the areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan's states have begun to decrease in favor of the army, with its victories extending to include Khartoum and White Nile State. In the other 16 states, the Rapid Support Forces now only control parts of North and West Kordofan and pockets in the states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, along with 4 of the five states of the Darfur region. Since mid-April 2023, the army and "Rapid Support" have waged a war that has left more than 20,000 dead and about 15 million displaced and refugees, according to the United Nations and local authorities, while a study by American universities estimated the number of deaths at about 130,000.
