Cameroon’s Biya Reshuffles Army Amid Prolonged Swiss Absence

Cameroon’s 93-year-old president Paul Biya, who has been in Geneva for about 60 days, reshuffled the army—promoting five colonels to brigadier general and reappointing Raymond Jean Charles Beko'o Abondo as commander of the presidential guard. The decrees, issued from Switzerland, come as critics warn of a governance vacuum amid Biya’s prolonged absence, though the government says he remains active from abroad and has authorized loans and other measures.

G7 security push tightens Swiss-French border ahead of summit

Ahead of the G7 summit, France will deploy thousands of police and border officers along the Swiss border near Geneva, tightening checks, restricting access around Evian, and banning unplanned gatherings. A zone near the Hotel Royal is set, with an authorized June 14 march adding to disruption. The measures affect some 110,000 cross-border workers who commute daily from France to Geneva, with lake crossings redirected and a 6 million Swiss franc fund established to help affected businesses. Analysts warn the security buildup could strain daily life and the regional economy.

Iranian envoy says Hormuz will stay open, despite new ayatollah's vow

Iran’s UN ambassador in Geneva told Euronews that Tehran has no intention to block or mine the Strait of Hormuz and that any disruption is due to the regional war; he said Hormuz should be open to all as long as there is no war, with restrictions only on ships from countries involved in the conflict, amid conflicting signals as a new ayatollah reportedly vows to close the strait and hostilities continue.

Geneva talks show progress but no deal in US-Iran nuclear negotiations, Oman mediators say

Oman-mediated indirect talks in Geneva between the US and Iran on Tehran's nuclear program ended without a deal, though mediators said there had been significant progress and that technical talks would resume in Vienna next week; core issues such as Iran's right to enrich uranium and the fate of its stockpiled highly enriched uranium remain unresolved, with Iran calling the rounds among the most intensive yet and planning further discussions within a week.

Geneva talks stall as Zelenskyy accuses Moscow of dragging out a deal

U.S.-brokered peace talks in Geneva ended after about two hours with uneven progress; Zelenskyy accused Moscow of dragging its feet while Kyiv insists on sovereignty and borders. The main hurdle remains Donbas territory, with Russia seeking control and Ukraine resisting. Officials signaled more talks soon, urged European participation and security guarantees, and a prisoner swap could be a tangible outcome if negotiations continue.

Geneva Talks End Day Two With Narrow Progress on Territorial Split

Ukrainian and Russian negotiators wrapped a second U.S.-mediated peace round in Geneva after a two-hour session, signaling limited progress: technical issues like cease-fire monitoring and prisoner exchanges are closer to agreement, but disagreements over the fate of eastern Ukrainian territory persist. Zelensky said negotiations were not easy, while Moscow’s Medinsky called the talks tough but businesslike. Kyiv insists on robust Western security guarantees before any territorial concessions, complicating a path to a deal; a next meeting is planned.

Geneva talks test Trump's patience as Iran diplomacy drags on

Indirect US–Iran talks in Geneva produced a set of guiding principles but left major issues—like Iran's nuclear program and missiles—unresolved, as regional tensions rise and Iran conducts military exercises; Trump has offered loose deadlines and kept diplomacy alive, wary of being timed out or maneuvered, while any deal would require Khamenei's approval and may hinge on broader concessions and sanctions relief.
