    White House responds to surge in Christian persecution crisis across sub-Saharan Africa
    FIRST ON FOX - The White House, faced with an ongoing and growing tsunami of murderous attacks by Islamic State-allied groups against Christians in sub-Saharan Africa, is now working closely with the State Department to find ways to stop the killing.Last week, the White House told Fox News Digital,"The Trump administration condemns in the strongest terms this horrific violence against Christians," after the U.N. reported 49 Christians were butchered with machetes on July 27 in and around a church in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), while Catholic worshipers were praying for peace. Authorities say the killers were Islamist militants from the Allied Democratic Forces, also known as Islamic State DRC.In neighboring Nigeria last month, 27 Christians were reported killed by Islamist Fulani tribesmen in the village ofBindi Ta-hoss, where residents are predominantly Christian. Eyewitness Solomon Sunday said,"I advised my family to seek refuge in the church, which seemed the safest place at the time. I lost my wife and second daughter in the attack; they were burned [alive] by Fulani militias."Local youth leader DYoung Mangut, who helped retrieve the bodies, added, "People are being killed like chickens, and nothing is being done.""Such grisly proceedings have become commonplace in central Nigeria," John Eibner, president of Christian human rights organization Christian Solidarity International, told Fox News Digital. "It is part of a longstanding process of violent Islamization, of ethno-religious cleansing. Last Palm Sunday, 50 Christians were similarly slaughteredin nearby Bassa. Over 165 Christians have been killed in the last 4 months in Plateau State (one of Nigerias provinces) alone," he added."Massacres of the sort that happen in central Nigeria are also happening with increasing frequency in predominately Christian places like Congo and Mozambique. There is no simple solution."ISIS SOLDIERS BEHEAD CHRISTIANS IN MOZAMBIQUE, BURNING CHURCH AND HOMES: 'SILENT GENOCIDE'The U.K. division of Open Doors,a global Christian charity which supports and speaks up for Christians persecuted for their faith, told Fox News Digital, "The crisis facing large areas of sub-Saharan Africa is hard to overstate. It is potentially existential for the future peace and stability of several nations in the region, not least Nigeria.""Around 150,000 people have been killed in Jihadist violence over the last ten years. Over16 million Christians have been driven from their homes and their land across the region."The Trump administration appears to be preparing for action. This week, a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "The Department of State is working closely with the White House to identify opportunities to further the cause of religious freedom around the world."BISHOP'S VILLAGE ATTACKED, 20 SLAIN AFTER RECENT TESTIMONY TO CONGRESS ON CHRISTIAN PERSECUTIONThe spokesperson added,"Religious freedom for all people worldwide is a moral and national security imperative and a U.S. foreign policy priority. As President Trump has stated, the United States will vigorously promote this freedom."Nigeria is among the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian. Recent Open Doors research shows that more Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than the rest of the world combined. Local bishop Wilfred Anagbe was threatened, and some 20 of his parishioners killed, after he spoke out against the killings to a Congressional Committee in March.This week, the bishop spoke exclusively to Fox News Digital, declaring that "the attackers form part of the larger Islamic- Jihadists family headed in Nigeria by the likes of Boko Haram, ISIS West Africa and similar groups. Nigeria has had a long history with Islamic fundamentalism. (But)the violence, killing and displacements without consequences suggests a new pattern where the Islamists have resorted to use their control of official government and apparatus to continue this jihad."There is a strong tendency by fundamentalist Muslims in Nigeria to turn the whole or part of Nigeria (in)to an Islamic State."POPE, STATE DEPARTMENT CONDEMN LATEST MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS BY ISLAMIST MILITANTS IN NIGERIA"This is what the Nazis did to the Jews,"David Onyillokwu Idah, director of the International Human Rights Commission, told Open Doors, adding, "Its ethnic cleansing, step by step."John Samuel, legal expert for Open Doors, told Fox News Digital that where the Islamist groups are operating, if Christians gather for"a prayer meeting, let's say, or go to a church, (it) could be a one-way ticket, or something very deadly.""If you're a Christian, you either convert to Islam or die."Samuel gives an example of a Nigerian Christian who was ambushed by Boko Haram fighters. According to his widow, "he was asked to deny his faith and say an Islamic prayer. He refused and he was killed instantly. You are a target. You are a target by the mere fact that you identify with Christ."ISLAMIST TERRORISTS KILL 49 CHRISTIANS IN AFRICAN CHURCH MASSACRE; EYEWITNESS REVEALS HORRIFIC DETAILSAcross the region, its claimed the Islamist attackers want the land belonging to the Christians they attack. Lawyer Jabez Musa fights in court in Nigeria to get this land back. He told Fox News Digital the displaced Christians"want their land restored back to them for their livelihood. The cry is always I have been dispossessed of what belongs to me, my house, the food, foodstuff, the land. As we speak, over 64 communities in Plateau State have been dispossessed and taken over by the Fulani militants.""Only Christians are targeted, they're killed, displaced, and their lands are taken over."Henrietta Blyth, CEO of Open Doors U.K. and Ireland, told Fox News Digital that "African governments must urgently provide three things:justice - because very few of these perpetrators are ever held to account, and this impunity emboldens them. Restoration - people want their lives back, an opportunity to rebuild their homes, send their kids to school, have a future together. And protection - the state must protect them from these attacks. The security forces need to get out of their barracks and be deployed around the most vulnerable."For too long, nobody has been talking about the horrific wholesale slaughter of Christians and moderate Muslims in Africa.The Western world needs to wake up and be outraged," she said.One grieving relative told reporters after the massacre in NigeriasBindi Ta-hoss this past month, "We are tired of condolences and statements. What we need is real security, not sympathy."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digital reached out to the governments of both Nigeria and the DRC but received no response.Lawyer Jabez Musa pleaded "I urge the American government, especially President Trump personally to come to the help of Christians."

    Why these viral Christian teens believe Gen Z is The Chosen Generation
    These 18-year-old triplets are using social media to "plant the seed" of faith, spreading a message of joy and fulfillment found in Jesus. Gage, Till and Kaden Helms known online as 3n1trilogy spoke with Fox News Digital about why Generation Z is turning to faith in search of purpose, peace and real happiness.Gage believes, despite all the negative content on social media, God is using it for good through Christian influencers."He's choosing this generation. This generation is the chosen generation," said Gage.The brothers say they launched their social media platform to reach other young people with the gospel, and to show that following Jesus isnt just fulfilling, but also bold."Me and my brothers here have just basically started a Christian platform and just spread the gospel at a young age and trying to encourage others to find Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life," Till said.CATHOLICISM SEES MAJOR RESURGENCE AMONG GEN Z, WITH YOUNG MEN LEADING THE REVIVAL"We just want to be bold for the gospel, share the good news of Jesus and let people know that they can be bold for Jesus, and don't be ashamed of that," Kaden said.Just last year, the triplets didnt even have Instagram. They convinced their mom to let them join so they could begin posting content rooted in Scripture."It's pretty evil and a lot of wrong is on it and a lot of bad things. But we can use it for good," Gage said of the social media platform.They launched their account from their moms phone, and kept using it until they hit more than 220,000 followers. The moment things changed? One back-to-school video.In the video, the boys encourage kids to be "the light" at school, from being bold in speaking out about faith or just by being kind, like by sitting with someone alone at the lunch table."We put it into perspective, so we live in Charlotte, and we were like, okay, the Panthers Stadium holds 80,000 people [That] video got more views [than] the Panthers stadium in one night. Holy moly!" Till said.After this, they realized, "Okay, we can really make a positive impact, or the Lord can make a positive through us on social media," Till added.The Helms brothers believe their generation is "hungry" for true fulfillment, and they can find that through faith."I think our generation is more hungry for Jesus than ever. And, you know, like back in our parents' generation where they were growing up, there was no social media. And I think social media has been used for such a horrible thing. And one, it makes people have anxiety or depressed and where they compare themselves to others, you know? And so I think with Jesus he brings true freedom and true peace and true fulfillment," said Till.DANGEROUS OR AN OPPORTUNITY? SOCIAL MEDIA AS VENUE FOR DISCUSSING POLITICS DEBATED BY YOUNG CONSERVATIVESKaden and Gage said Gen Z is beginning to turn away from things that dont satisfy, and toward something eternal.Gage emphasized that the world today is "empty," and young people are realizing that often things in this world bring short-term satisfaction but not real fulfillment.Kaden said people feel the need to have fun by "sleeping around, lusting after women on Instagram, going to parties and doing drugs," but ultimately it doesn't compare to a relationship with Jesus."You're just chasing more and more, and it can never fulfill you, but you know Jesus' love overflows your cup, and it'll fulfill you, so that's what they're not finding," Kaden said.SEN. TIM SCOTT OUTLINES THE IMPORTANCE OF FAITH IN EVERYDAY LIFEEven as their platform has exploded, the brothers say they remain grounded in faith and focused on their mission."Every day I wake up with the joy, like no matter how bad this day may seem, I have Jesus on my side, like Jesus got me and I had the joy of Jesus living so it's so funit's such a freedom," Kaden said.Kaden, Gage and Till will attend Gardner-Webb University this fall and will also be wrestling at the school.Watch the Helms brothers appear on "Fox & Friends" on Monday at 6:50 AM ET.

    China's rare earth tech obsession ensnares US resident as CCP looks to maintain stranglehold
    Chinas bid to strangle the worlds supply of heavy rare-earth elements was about to hit a wall. Vietnamese entrepreneur Luu Anh Tuan had lined up U.S. backing for a technology that could break Beijings chokehold on the critical minerals behind everything from smartphones to missile-guidance systems.Tuan and his family had fled Vietnam for the U.S. to escape Beijings tightening grip over Hanoi, where the Chinese Communist Party exerts a heavy influence on domestic governance.In July 2023, he signed a technology transfer agreement, seen by Fox News Digital, to bring the heavy rare earth separation technology he was using at his Vietnam-based company, Vietnam Rare Earth (VTRE) to VTRU Corporation, a company registered in Nevada. VTRE had also signed a series of memoranda of understanding (MOU) agreements with Western companies."He had a bad sense of insecurity about being in Vietnam. He was determined to transfer his technology to the US as quickly as possible," a source familiar with the rare earth industry, granted anonymity to speak without fear of retribution, told Fox News Digital.CHINESE CITIZEN ADMITS STEALING US TRADE SECRETS FOR NEXT-GENERATION NATIONAL SECURITY TECHAt the time, the world was entirely dependent on Chinese companies to separate their heavy rare earth metals."China has been really working for the better part of over 20 years now on building this dominance," Gracelin Baskaran,director of the Critical Minerals Security Programat the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said in an interview.And while companies like U.S.-based MP Materials and Australia-based Lynas are in the process of developing their own separation technologies, China still controls up to 90% of the rare earths separation and refining capacity and over half of mining output.In October 2023, Tuan, then a U.S. permanent resident and green card holder in the process of becoming a citizen, was back in his Hanoi office when Vietnamese authorities raided the building, seizing all laptops and records. Seventeen employees were arrested, according to Tuans American business partner, Richard Dunham, and all but one, Do Hanh Huong, Tuans sister-in-law and COO of VTRE, have since been released.The arrest came shortly after President Joe Biden visited Vietnam and signed cooperation agreements on rare earth minerals.CHINA CONTROLS OVER 80% OF BATTERY MATERIALS CRUCIAL TO US DEFENSE EQUIPMENT, UNSETTLING REPORT REVEALSIn December, China banned rare earth extraction and separation, in what the industry saw as another effort to maintain its monopoly on the market."When China put in these restrictions, it really made countries like the U.S. and Australia realize that they didn't actually even have the technical know-how to do it themselves," said Baskaran."The process itself is just very labor-intensive and very toxic," saidJosh Birenbaum, a minerals expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, adding China cornered the market through state subsidies and lax environmental concerns.While the U.S. has one major rare earths mine, MP Materials Mountain Pass, until this year, the company was exporting those rare earths to China for separation. The trade war and export controls that followed prompted the U.S. to stockpile its rare earths until separation capacity was up to scale at home.Tuan was accused of forging a value-added tax receipt while trading rare earthswith Thai Duong Group, which operates a mine in the northern Vietnamese province of Yen Bai.VTRE had partnered with Australian mining companies Australian Strategic Materials and Blackstone Minerals Ltd. Tuan and Dunham had also met with officials from the state of Nevada and the Department of Energy to discuss plans to bring the separation technology to the U.S. through VTRE. Both were "enthusiastic" about the proposal, which ultimately led to the signing of the transfer agreement, according to Dunham.The arrest also came as Vietnam prepared to auction the Dong Pao mine. VTRE, backed by Western partners, was the only qualified bidder, according to Dunham.This year, Tuan pleaded guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence. Hell spend 16 years in prison with a fine of $10 million, but his advocates say he was "coerced." Huong was sentenced to six years in prison."We believe these charges to be manipulated, charges that were founded by Vietnamese state actors who have realigned themselves with China," said Dunham. "He was tortured to obtain a guilty plea."SENATE REPUBLICAN MOVES TO GIVE US AN EDGE ON CHINA IN HARVESTING MINERALS FOR WEAPONS SYSTEMSFox News Digital could not independently verify this claim. TheState Department documents credible reports ofarbitrary arrests, torture andinhumane treatment by authorities, affecting both political detainees and others in custody. Medical neglect and forced confessions are frequently reported.Tuans advocates say the company he was purchasing ore from, Thai Duong, refused to provide invoices at the actual rate VTRE was paying for ore. It only provided invoices that claimed it was selling ore at a lower rate, reducing its taxable income.According to Dunham, Thai Duong refused to issue invoices reflecting the actual sale price to VTRE, allegedly to avoid environmental, natural resource and corporate income taxes, obligations that fell on Thai Duong, not Tuan.Tuan was faced with a choice: accept the lower-rate invoices and make up the tax discrepancies with his own money or allow his state-funded minerals project, and in turn, his business, to collapse, per Dunham.Though Tuan was convicted on criminal charges, Dunham said the violation of accounting regulations lacks evidence of criminal intent."Even if he were guilty of an accounting issue, its not something that is criminally liable for what theyre trying to do. No place in Vietnam has there ever been an issue with this type of sentencing. Its totally unheard of. Typically you would pay a fine and thats it.""He is the only individual outside of China that has a fully integrated rare earth company that's from mining to metallization; in other words, from digging it out of the ground to the manufacturing of magnets."Tuan was also convicted of smuggling rare earth materials, but customs documents show clearance of 63 shipments of heavy rare earth oxide mixtures under tax code 2846, which corresponds to rare earth compounds. The court misclassified the exports under tax code 2530 (raw ore), to falsely claim they were illegal, according to Dunham.The Vietnamese Ministry of Public Securitys investigation concluded that customs officers who signed the 63 export declarations for VTRE verified Tuans compliance.Chinas crackdown since then has only accelerated. Minerals experts have been ordered to surrender their passports to prevent them from sharing any technology outside the country. Beijing has tightened controls on exports of rare earths, prompting major concerns from within the U.S. defense industry. While China allowed them to flow again during trade negotiations with the Trump administration, they remain banned for defense purposes.According to Dunham, VTRE has developed the technology to produce heavy rare earth oxides from xenotime, monazite and ion-absorption clay at a purity of 95% through a solvent extraction system. The technology was capable of processing diverse ore types and recycling NdFeB magnets.Requests for assistance from the U.S. government have not been fruitful, according to Tuans advocates.Tuan is essentially cut off from his family and lawyers. Hes seen family members around five times since his arrest nearly two years ago."We are deeply concerned about his physical and mental well-being," the source said. "He is mentally resilient. He continues to believe the truth will eventually come to light."Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House, State Department, Chinese Embassy and Vietnamese Embassy for comment.

Each arm is personalized to match the user's opposing limb, down to fingertip size and skin tone. A wide range of color options are available, including natural shades, jet black and metallic silver.Instead of relying on standard sizes, TrueLimb is custom-built using a remote 3D scanning system. This digital process eliminates the need for in-person fittings and allows for precise, individualized design. The socket is breathable, adjustable and crafted for all-day wear. A built-in BOA dial lets users fine-tune the fit with ease. At just 1.0 to 1.5 pounds from socket to fingertip, the prosthetic remains lightweight and comfortable.TrueLimb features TrueSense technology, which includes over 30 topographical sensors embedded within the socket. These sensors detect subtle muscle movements on the residual limb, delivering accurate and responsive control, even when the limb is covered or sweating.While often referred to as "mind-controlled," TrueLimb does not read brain signals directly. Instead, it uses advanced sensors to pick up electrical activity from muscles in the residual limb. These signals reflect the users intended movements, allowing the prosthetic to respond in real time, creating a seamless, intuitive experience that feels like second nature.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?The system adapts automatically by identifying the most active myo sites, deactivating less useful sensors and fine-tuning responsiveness based on the user's signal strength. This ensures consistent performance, even if muscle activity changes over time.The prosthetic includes six intuitive grip patterns to support a wide range of daily activities. Independent finger joints allow the hand to wrap around objects naturally, offering both strength and flexibility. The device is precise enough to handle delicate tasks, such as lifting an egg without cracking it.Beyond movement, TrueLimb gives the user back a sense of touch. Gentle vibrations provide feedback when the prosthetic hand makes contact with objects. This helps users operate the device without always needing to look down, making actions more fluid and natural. The thumb is manually opposable, giving the user better control over grip force and object handling. Whether opening a bottle or holding a pen, the motion feels smooth and confident.TrueLimb is made with PA12 nylon, a highly durable material used in industrial-grade applications. The entire arm is built to withstand daily life. It's splash-resistant, heat-resistant, stain-resistant and tough enough to handle impact or abrasion. Thanks to its rubberized palm and coated fingertips, the hand maintains a firm grip on smooth or slippery surfaces. And with bionic strength, it can lift objects up to 15 pounds with ease.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREPower won't hold the user back. TrueLimb uses a USB-C charger, the same kind used for most phones and laptops, so no special adapter is needed. A high-capacity 5600mAh battery provides multi-day life, giving freedom to move without frequent recharges. The device also receives over-the-air software updates, so performance improves over time without needing to return the device. Behind the scenes, analytics tools help optimize each arm's performance based on how it's being used.One of the most innovative parts of the TrueLimb process is how it reaches users. Everything happens remotely. Users receive a 3D scanner in the mail to capture the shape of their limb. The data goes directly to the Unlimited Tomorrow team, which builds the prosthetic in-house. This approach eliminates middlemen and dramatically speeds up delivery. Users typically receive their completed prosthetic within weeks.If you or a loved one needs a prosthetic arm, this technology changes everything.

    WATCH: Texas state senator argues redistricting showdown could decide balance of power in future US Congress
    GOP Texas state senator Mayes Middleton told Fox News Digital that the stakes couldn't be higher when it comes to Republicans' redistricting fight with Democrats in Texas, arguing that the effort to redraw the maps in Texas could "save America."Middleton pointed out that if the results of the 2026 mid-term elections lead to another razor-thin majority for Republicans, the Congress "will know" that the Texas redistricting bill was responsible for the GOP maintaining its power. Meanwhile, despite Democrats' attempts to halt the GOP redistricting effort by fleeing the state, Middleton expressed little concern that these challenges would amount to anything. "Literally, this redistricting bill could save this entire nation. This is why this fight is so important to me," Middleton said. "I will fight with everything in me to make sure that this map becomes law, and we get those five more Republican seats It could literally save America."GOV. GREG ABBOTT THREATENS TO REDISTRICT 8 SEATS FOR GOP IF DEM LAWMAKERS DON'T RETURN TO TEXASDespite the stakes, according to Middleton, he did not express concern about Democrats' efforts to challenge the Republican redistricting bill, which has included dozens of Texas House Democrats fleeing the state to prevent the legislature from being able to conduct official business.He called their challenge "meritless," pointing to litigation stemming from his home county of Galveston that found that "coalition districts" districts formed by combining multiple minority groups to reach a majority were in violation of the Voting Rights Act. As a result, Democrats cannot claim an obligation to create such districts to preserve minority voting power, Republicans argue."Before the Petteway case was decided, basically you could add together various minority groups to get above 50% and then, under [Democrats'] interpretation of the Voting Rights Act, they said that was a protected district," Middleton explained. "And that actually began when Galveston County Commissioners Court redistricted, and the last Democrat in the Commissioners Court was drawn out of office, and they sued and said that was racist. But yet, not long after, maybe a month after, Harris County redistricted and drew out a Republican, and they said that was fine. So that shows you just the ridiculous hypocrisy of the left in this case."OBAMA LABELS TEXAS REDISTRICTING PUSH 'A POWER GRAB THAT UNDERMINES OUR DEMOCRACY'Civil arrest warrants were issued by the Texas House Republican majority earlier this week in an effort to compel the absent Democrats to return, but they are only enforceable within state lines and do not lead to jail time, since the warrants are not criminal. Still, Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton has called on a court in Illinois, where a large swath of the Texas House Democrats fled, to enforce the warrants against Democrats.In addition to blocking Texas Republicans' redistricting bill, the exodus of Texas Democrats is obstructing crucial legislation from making its way through the legislature, Middleton told Fox News Digital.Middleton pointed to one bill being held up, Senate Bill 7, which aims to protect all-female spaces from being used by biological males who identify as transgender females. Others include a ban on taxpayer-funded lobbying, an election-crime enforcement bill and critical flood relief legislation."These are the conservative priorities that we were elected to get done. And the Democrats, of course, are looking for ways to block that are unlawful," Middleton argued. "Frankly, they're doing it in a way that will cause their office to be vacated if they don't come back."
