"Türkiye, Syria & Jordan to Revive the Historic Hejaz Railway"

A landmark step toward regional connectivity and heritage preservation: Türkiye, Syria, and Jordan have agreed to revive the legendary Hejaz Railway.

🔹 At a recent tripartite meeting in Amman, the three nations reached a preliminary agreement on a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cooperate on transport infrastructure.

🔹 Türkiye will help complete 30 km of missing railway tracks in Syria.
🔹 Jordan will explore locomotive maintenance and repair capacity to support operations.
🔹 Plans include joint studies to strengthen Türkiye’s access to the Red Sea via Jordan’s Port of Aqaba.
🔹 Road transport between Türkiye and Jordan through Syria will also resume after 13 years.

📜 Originally built between 1900 and 1908 under Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II, the Hejaz Railway stretched 1,750 km — linking Istanbul to Medina and Mecca, while also connecting Damascus and Yemen. It was designed to ease pilgrimages and strengthen Ottoman control, featuring desert stations, stone viaducts, and narrow-gauge tracks.

Transport Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu summed it up:

“While preserving our region’s historical heritage, we are also establishing strong cooperation in international transport corridors.”

Now, after more than a century, the railway that once carried pilgrims and history itself may once again carry people, trade, and hope.

“The World’s First Silicon-Based Quantum Computer”

Game-changing news out of the UK: Quantum Motion has unveiled the world’s first full-stack quantum computer built on silicon chip technology — the same tech that powers your laptop and smartphone.

For decades, quantum computing has relied on exotic, hard-to-scale hardware. But Quantum Motion has flipped the script by using standard CMOS chip technology, opening the door to mass production of quantum computers and bringing them closer to everyday use.

📍 The breakthrough was revealed at the UK National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC).
⚡ Fits inside just three 19-inch server racks (including its refrigerator + control electronics).
🖥️ Compatible with popular quantum frameworks like Qiskit and Cirq.
🔬 Built for scalability, with potential to handle millions of qubits in the future.

💡 Why this matters:
This innovation isn’t just another scientific milestone. It’s a strategic leap that could integrate quantum power into existing digital ecosystems, supercharging AI, cryptography, and complex simulations.

James Palles-Dimmock, CEO of Quantum Motion:
“This is quantum computing’s silicon moment.”

With this launch, Quantum Motion is on track to deliver commercially useful quantum computers this decade, reshaping industries worldwide and setting the stage for a new computing revolution.

🌍 From unlocking unbreakable codes to running simulations beyond classical limits, the possibilities are endless.

"Trump Demands Return of Bagram Air Base"

United States President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Afghanistan, demanding the return of the Bagram Air Base or face “bad things.”

📍 Located just 64 km from Kabul, the sprawling complex was the largest U.S. military base during the two-decade war after 9/11. It served as Washington’s central hub for operations — and a dark chapter in history where thousands were held without trial, many facing abuse under the so-called “War on Terror.”

The Taliban regained control of Bagram in 2021 following the U.S. withdrawal and the fall of the Afghan government. Since then, Trump has repeatedly lamented the loss of the base, stressing its strategic importance due to its proximity to China.

On a recent visit to the UK, Trump hinted for the first time that Washington is actively trying to get Bagram back:

“We’re trying to get it back because they need things from us.”

But Afghanistan’s Taliban-led government has flatly rejected the demand, with officials stating that “not even one meter of Afghan land will be given to the Americans.”

Afghan officials have also emphasized they are open to political and economic ties with the U.S. — but only based on “mutual respect and shared interests,” without any military presence.

When pressed about whether he would send troops, Trump refused to give a clear answer, leaving his threat open-ended:

“If they don’t give it back, you’re going to find out what I’m gonna do.”

🌍 Global Recognition of Palestine 🇵🇸

On September 22, 2025, the international standing of Palestine remains a pivotal topic in world affairs. Today, 151 out of 193 United Nations member states officially recognize Palestine as a sovereign state. ✨

This recognition stretches across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, where the majority of nations support Palestine’s right to self-determination. 🌐 On the other hand, several Western countries — including the United States, much of Western Europe, and a few others — have not yet extended formal recognition.

Despite these divides, Palestine holds non-member observer state status in the UN, granted in 2012, marking a major milestone in its diplomatic journey. Yet, the path to full UN membership remains blocked, primarily due to political opposition from key global powers.

👉 The story of Palestine’s recognition is not just about politics — it reflects the world’s struggle to balance historical realities, international law, and aspirations for peace in the Middle East.

As the debate continues, the fact that a vast majority of nations already recognize Palestine shows how firmly its identity has been established on the global stage. 🌏

🌍 Sept 21, 1964 — Malta Gains Independence! 🇲🇹

On this day, Malta broke free from more than 160 years of British rule, officially becoming an independent nation.

Today, the nation celebrates Jum l-Indipendenza (Independence Day) — a reminder of freedom, resilience, and national pride.
