Syedna Saifuddin is Dawoodi Bohra spiritual head: Bombay high court
Tuesday, 23 April 2024 Bombay HC brought closure to a decade-long legal dispute concerning the succession of the Syedna, the esteemed spiritual leader of the Dawoodi Bohra community, which boasts over a million followers. Justice Gautam Patel, presiding over a single-judge bench, ruled on a suit filed in 2014 by the half-brother of the late Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, the 52nd Da'i al-Mutlaq, asserting his appointment as the rightful successor to the paramount spiritual role within the Shia sect.
Iraqi fighters, backed by Iran, have crossed into Syria to join forces with Syrian and Russian military units in a fight against Turkey-backed jihadist rebels. The deployment comes after the jihadists seized Aleppo, marking a significant blow to the Syrian government's control. These reinforcements, primarily from Iraq's Badr and Nujabaa groups, are expected to focus on defending key Shiite shrines and supporting Assad’s forces on the frontlines.
However, Lebanon's Hezbollah, a key ally of Syria and Iran, has decided to stay out of this latest conflict. Despite Hezbollah's earlier role in supporting Syrian forces, particularly in the fight against rebels, it is not ready to commit forces in the current escalation, reportedly due to the strain from its ongoing war with Israel.

In a surge of sectarian violence in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, at least 37 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in less than 24 hours. The clashes, primarily between Sunni and Shia communities, have intensified in recent months, particularly in the mountainous Kurram district, a region known for its long-standing sectarian tensions. The violence escalated after gunmen targeted Shia convoys, killing 43 on Thursday, prompting retaliatory attacks by Shia groups, who set fire to Sunni-dominated areas. Despite efforts to mediate peace, the region remains unstable, with security forces attempting to restore calm amid growing tensions.
