Iko kwenye viunga vya El Facher, mji mkuu wa Darfur Kaskazini, ambayo imezingirwa na Vikosi vya Msaada wa Haraka vya Mohamed Hamdan Daglo. Kambi ya Abu Shuk, iliyoko viungani mwa El-Facher, mji mkuu wa Darfur Kaskazini, iliyozingirwa na Vikosi vya Msaada wa Haraka (RSF) tangu Mei 2024, inakabiliwa na njaa kama maeneo mengine ya nchi, kulingana na Umoja wa Mataifa, UN , ambao unaelezea mzozo wa Sudani kama \"janga mbaya zaidi la kibinadamu duniani.\" Hali ngumu kwa hospitali za mji mkuu Wakati huo huo, karibu na mji mkuu, huko Omdurman, matatizo ya uendeshaji yanayokabili hospitali mbili yanasababisha wasiwasi mkuwa. Shirika lisilo la kiserikali la Madaktari Wasio na Mipaka (MSF) limetoa tahadhari siku ya Jumapili baada ya ndege zisizo na rubani kushambulia Khartoum wiki iliyopita, ambazo zililenga mitambo ya kuzalisha umeme na kusababisha kukatika kwa umeme. Kwa hiyo, hospitali zote mbili sasa hazina umeme, oksijeni na maji. MSF inaonya juu ya kuongezeka kwa hatari ya kipindupindu. Kwa upande wake, kikundi cha Emergency Lawyers, ambacho kinaandika dhuluma zilizofanywa na pande zote mbili, kiliripoti jana kuwa raia 18 waliuawa wiki iliyopita katika shambulio kwenye kijiji cha Kordofan Kusini. Mashambulio ambayo kikundi hiki kinahusisha jeshi na mashambulizi ambayo yaliandamana, kinabainisha, na uporaji na watu kukamatwa kiholela.",

Lakini ziara hii katika nchi inayoongozwa na wanajeshi waliofanya mapinguzi ambao wamevunja uhusiano wao na ECOWAS na kujiunga na AES (iliyoundwa na Niger na Mali) pia inazua mojaya maswali kuhusu ufaafu wa mbinu hiyo.",

Yoro Dia, mwanasayansi wa siasa na msemaji wa zamani wa rais chini ya urais wa Macky Sall , ambaye anakosoa sana ziara hiyo, hata anaiita kuwa ni makosa ya kisiasa kwa upande wa Waziri Mkuu: \"Sote tunakubali kwamba uwezo lazima unganishwe. Lakini kupambana na ugaidi kunamaanisha kwanza kabisa kuwa na mamlaka halali. Senegal inapaswa kuwa na msimamo sahihi na kuyaambia mataifa ya ESA kwa udugu wote kwamba suluhu pekee leo ni kurejea kwa demokrasia na kwamba watu huru waamue mwelekeo wanaotaka kutoa kwa siku zijazo. \" Serikali na Pastef wanabaini kwamba ni kwa kwenda Ouagadougou ndio mambo yanaweza kusonga mbele na sio kuendelea kutumia sera ya ECOWAS ya kujitenga. Amadou Ba, Mbunge wa Pastef anasema: \"Mkakati huu umeonyesha ukomo wake. Mwishowe, vikwazo hivi havikuleta athari yoyote isipokuwa athari mbaya kwa raia. Sasa, Senegal tuan mbinu mpya, na Rais Bassirou Diomaye Faye amekuwa na mtazamo wa usawa na uwajibikaji kila wakati kuhakikisha kwamba tunapata ratiba ya upatanishi, kanuni na maazimio ili nchi hizi ziweze kurejea viwango vya kidemokrasia.\" Ishara nyingine ya kufugua uhusiano: nia ya kuandaa hivi karibuni kikao cha 6 cha Tume ya Ushirikiano Mkuu wa Pamoja kati ya Burkina Faso na Senegal.",

      • "content": "Na mwanahabari wetu huko Casablanca, François Hume-Ferkatadji Bomba hilo la gesi lialopita katika nchi 13, hasa za Afrika Magharibi, kwenye ufuo wa Atlantiki kwa zaidi ya kilomita 5,600 kutoka Nigeria hadi Morocco , kabla ya kuunganishwa na mtandao wa Ulaya, je bomba la gesi chini ya maji linalofikiriwa na Rabat na Abuja litazaa matunda? Mradi huo unaendelea, kulingana na Waziri wa Mpito wa Nishati wa Morocco. \"Mambo mengi yamekamilika,\" ametangaza. Leila Benali amesema kuwa njia mwafaka ya bomba la gesi imebainishwa, upembuzi yakinifu umekamilika pamoja na tafiti za awali za uhandisi. Waziri huyo amebainisha kwamba nchi husika na mradi huo zimeidhinisha makubaliano ya serikali. Mawasiliano haya yanakuja wakati, sambamba na hilo, kuna tetesi zinazosema kuwa Niger imejiondoa katika mradi shindani wa bomba la gesi kati ya Nigeria-Algeria. Niamey, hata hivyo, hajasema rasmi. Miradi miwili inayoshindana na ya kimkakati Vita vya mawasiliano kwa hivyo vinaendelea kuzunguka miradi hii miwili, inayochukuliwa kuwa mikubwa na ya gharama kubwa, lakini ya kimkakati sana wakati ambapo Ulaya na nchi za Afrika zinahitaji kubadilisha usambazaji wao wa gesi, huku zikipunguza gharama. Morocco na Algeria zote zinatafuta udhibiti wa miundombinu ya nishati, kwani nchi hizo mbili zilikata uhusiano wa kidiplomasia mnamo 2021. Kulingana na duru za kuaminika, Rabat pia inataka kuhudumia nchi za Sahel, kuhakikisha wanapata ufikiaji wa Atlantiki. Kwa makadirio ya gharama ya dola bilioni 25, inabaki kazi ngumu ya kufadhili mradi huu wa mkubwa. Morocco inatumai kuona \"uamuzi wa mwisho wa uwekezaji\" unafikiwa mwishoni mwa mwaka, kwa maneno mengine kupewa idhni kwa ajili ya kuanza kwa kazi.",

Maeneo husika ambapo mapigano yalizuka yanaeenda mbali zaidi na Nyamamba. Jumapili, Mei 18, hali ya utulivu ilitawala Nyamamba na pia katika maeneo ya Katoto, Malabo na Lopa. Baadhi ya maeneo haya yanapatikana umbali wa kilomita thelathini kutoka Bunia. Tangu siku ya Alhamisi, Mei 15, maeneo haya yamekuwa yakikumbwa na mapigano makali. Mapigano kwa silaha nzito na nyepesi yaliripotiwa kati ya jeshi la Kongo na wanamgambo. Siku ya Jumamosi, Mei 17, FARDC ilianzisha mashambulizi ya kukabiliana na machafuko huko Lopa, jibu lililochukuliwa kuwa la \"nguvu\" na mashirika ya kiraia ya eneo hilo. Wanamgambo hao walirudishwa nyuma. Baadhi walikuwa wamevaa kiraia, wengine wamevalia sare za jeshi. Walikuwa wamejihami kwa bunduki aina ya AK-47, ambazo ni za kawaida sana katika eneo hili. Kulingana na jeshi, wapiganaji hao walikimbilia katika shule na makanisa, baada ya wakaazi kukimbia. Mamlaka za kijeshi zinashutumu muungano wa CRP-Zaire unaoongozwa na Thomas Lubanga kuwa nyuma ya mashambulizi haya, kulingana na FARDC. Kiongozi huyo wa zamani wa UPC, aliyehukumiwa na Mahakama ya Kimataifa ya Uhalifu, kwa sasa anaaminika kuwa yuko nchini Uganda . Lakini je, vuguvugu hili lina lina nguvu gani kwenye uwanja wa mapigano? CRP inasemekana kujumuisha wapiganaji kutoka kundi lenye silaha la Zaire, ambalo tayari linaendesha harakati zake katika eneo hilo, pamoja na wapiganaji waliokuwa wamerejeshwa kwenye maisha ya kiraia na wapiganaji wa zamani wa UPC.",

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Peninsula)Sanaullah Ataullah|The Peninsula Doha, Qatar: Qatar remains one of the safest and most committed countries in the world when it comes to protecting individuals from all forms of human trafficking. Through strong laws, active enforcement, and ongoing public awareness efforts, the country continues to take firm steps to prevent exploitation and ensure the safety and dignity of everyone within its borders “Despite Qatar's strategic location and its capacity to attract hundreds of thousands of workers, as well as being a tourism hub, it remains one of the safest and most effective countries in terms of protection against all forms of human trafficking,” said Secretary-General of the National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) H E Sultan bin Hassan Al-Jamali said at the opening ceremony of a workshop held in Doha yesterday. He said that this is attributed to the country's advancement in legislation, public policies, and administrative and institutional measures, including preventive actions such as establishing visa centers in labor-exporting countries. Al-Jamali noted that the NHRC diligently monitors and follows up on emerging challenges in this area, contributes with insights on legislation and policies, and plays a role in raising public awareness about the dangers of human trafficking. The National Committee for Combating Human Trafficking, in partnership with the NHRC, organized the first basic training workshop on“Combating Human Trafficking through a Human Rights-Based Approach: Prevention, Protection, and Rehabilitation” under the slogan (Our Humanity is One: Dignity and Justice for All).

Deputy Chairperson of the National Committee for Combating Human Trafficking Sarah Abdullah Al-Saadi, said that organizing this workshop aligns with the directives of Qatar's wise leadership in strengthening the human rights protection system and continuing its pioneering efforts in combating human trafficking. She stressed that human trafficking is one of the gravest contemporary human rights violations, directly threatening human dignity and affecting the most basic rights afforded to every individual. Al-Saadi pointed out that this workshop is significant as it comes within the framework of implementing the National Strategy for Combating Human Trafficking (2024–2026) and in harmony with the Strategic Plan of the National Human Rights Committee (2024–2030). She affirmed that addressing such a complex phenomenon requires well-trained national capacities, renewed institutional and societal awareness, and strategic partnerships at all levels. Director of the United Nations Training and Documentation Centre for Human Rights for South-West Asia and the Arab Region Dr. Abeer Khreisha, noted that human trafficking undermines human dignity and knows no borders or nationalities. She highlighted that, according to 2021 estimates, 50 million people live in modern forms of slavery for various purposes, the most notable being forced labor and exploitation in all forms. Khreisha pointed out that illicit profits from forced labor are estimated at $236 billion annually, and that women and girls continue to be disproportionately affected, with one-third of the identified victims being children, whether girls or boys. Deputy Director of the United Nations Centre for Combating Cybercrime Jassim bin Yousef Al-Kuwari, said that human trafficking is one of the most complex crimes and gravest violations of human rights and dignity. He noted that the crime has evolved beyond traditional or local dimensions into a transnational organized crime, adapting its methods to modern political, social, and technological contexts. Al-Kuwari stated that the latest Global Report issued by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Cybercrime in 2024 showed a 25% increase worldwide in the number of identified trafficking victims over recent years.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Jordan Times)VATICAN CITY - With 10 days under his belt as pope, Leo XIV has already shown himself to be a mild yet focused bridge-builder, with a soft spot for the underdog and a passion for tennis. On May 8, Robert Francis Prevost made history as the first pope from the United States but his experience goes well beyond his Chicago roots. The 69-year-old pontiff saw the challenges facing the worldwide Catholic Church up close in two decades as a missionary in the poor Andean nation of Peru, where he holds dual citizenship. And he already has a keen grasp of the inner workings of the Vatican, thanks to two years in a powerful role within the Roman Curia. With his calls this week for peace and in railing against inequality and social injustice, Pope Leo has drawn parallels with his reforming predecessor, Pope Francis, who died April 21. But the quiet, understated American has already signalled a change in style with the charismatic and impulsive Argentine. Vatican watchers are predicting his less confrontational tone may help him make inroads with those who may disagree with him -- inside and outside the Church. - Playing priest - Prevost was born on September 14, 1955, in a working-class, predominantly Catholic neighbourhood of Chicago to parents of French, Italian and Spanish descent. From an early age, the future Leo played priest, buying candy discs to use as communion wafers and passing them out to other neighbourhood children, according to his older brother, Louis. He recalled telling his six-year-old brother, \"You're gonna be the pope.\" Prevost attended a minor Augustinian seminary in St Louis as a novice, going onto take a mathematics degree from Philadelphia's Villanova University, an Augustinian institution. In 1985, he joined the Augustinians in Peru for the first of two long missions in the country that came to strongly mark his character, according to those who know him. An early sign of his global outlook came when he spoke Spanish from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica just minutes after being elected pope. Locals in the northern Chiclayo diocese in Peru, where he was appointed apostolic administrator in 2014, have since described him as a calm and humble person, who would visit soup kitchens and don tall rubber boots to muck out homes during downpours. He also had a big appetite for the local dish of chicharron, fried pork belly or chicken, and ceviche, or marinated raw fish. A long-time fan of the Chicago White Sox baseball team, Leo is keen on tennis, describing himself as \"quite the amateur tennis player\". An early perk of the job came this week when he met with world men's number one Jannik Sinner, who gave him a raquet and suggested a quick rally in the sumptuous setting. \"We'd better leave it,\" joked Leo. 'Can't turn back' The new pope also knows his way around the Vatican. In 2023, he was appointed by Francis to lead the Dicastery for Bishops, a key Vatican department that advises the pontiff on appointments, and later that year was made a cardinal. Fellow prelates describe him as a pragmatic consensus builder, with a softer style than Francis but the same commitment to Catholics from the \"peripheries\" ,overlooked areas far from Rome , and a strong sense of social justice. His awareness of global Church challenges was honed by two consecutive terms as the global head of the Augustinians, a mendicant order keenly focused on missionary work and charity. He also has a masters in divinity from Chicago's Catholic Theological Union in 1982, and a doctorate in canon law in Rome, a grounding seen as reassuring to more conservative cardinals who have sought a greater focus on theology from the pope. After Francis's 12-year papacy, which was marked by reforms but also divisions within the Church, the then Cardinal Prevost said there was \"still so much to do\". \"We can't stop, we can't turn back,\" he told Vatican News last month. \"We have to see how the Holy Spirit wants the Church to be today and tomorrow, because today's world, in which the Church lives, is not the same as the world of ten or 20 years ago. \"The message is always the same: proclaim Jesus Christ, proclaim the Gospel, but the way to reach today's people, young people, the poor, politicians, is different,\" he said.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Jordan Times)AMMAN - Bologna clinched their first Coppa Italia title in over half a century with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over AC Milan in the final held at the Olympic Stadium on Wednesday night. Dan Ndoye netted the decisive goal in the 53rd minute, capitalising on a defensive lapse by Milan. The winger was later named Man of the Match for his standout performance. It was a night of history and redemption for Bologna, whose last triumph in the competition dates back 51 years. With this victory, the club also secured qualification for next season's UEFA Europa League, capping off a memorable campaign. The match started with Bologna asserting early dominance, controlling the first half and testing Milan keeper Mike Maignan on multiple occasions. Maignan was called into action repeatedly, producing several important saves to keep his side in the game. Milan, meanwhile, relied heavily on counter-attacks but struggled to find rhythm or precision in the final third. Ndoye's breakthrough early in the second half shifted the momentum even further in Bologna's favour. In response, Milan coach Sergio Conceicao introduced Santiago Gimenez and Kyle Walker in a bid to rescue the game. The substitutions injected some urgency into Milan's attack, and the team created a few promising chances. However, Bologna successfully slowed the pace and absorbed the pressure as the clock wound down. The final saw a total of five yellow cards in a tense and physical encounter-three of them issued to Milan players. Both sides registered five shots on target, underlining the balance in attacking intent despite Bologna's edge in execution. Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano praised his players after the match, saying:“It was a rough game and we deserve to win after many disappointments. We put in a great performance.” On the other hand, it could prove to be the final appearance on the Milan bench for Conceicao, whose future at the club remains uncertain. The defeat added pressure on the Portuguese tactician, as questions swirl around his tenure following a disappointing cup exit.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Jordan Times) BASEL, Switzerland-- The 2025 Eurovision Song Contest kicked off on Tuesday with a semifinal filled with pyrotechnics, colour and a dramatic sweep of music, from Portuguese guitar ballads to Estonian comedy. After months of preparation, contestants from across the continent took to the state-of-the-art stage in Basel in search of Eurovision glory. After performing action-packed, three-minute set-pieces, their fate was decided not by the 6,500 Eurovision fans packing the St. Jakobshalle arena, but by millions of television viewers. Fifteen acts battled for votes, with 10 going through to Saturday's grand final, when 160 million to 200 million viewers are expected to tune in. Comedy trio KAJ -- who are from Finland but represent Sweden -- are the bookmakers' hot favourites to win Eurovision this year with their \"Bara Bada Bastu\" song, based on the joys of having a sauna. They made it through to the final, as did Estonia's Tommy Cash. He brought a light touch with his wobbly-legged dancing in \"Espresso Macchiato\" -- a homage to coffee in a song bursting with Italian references. There was an upset when Belgium's Red Sebastian -- who had been the third-favourite with several bookmakers -- was eliminated on his 26th birthday. \"We were robbed,\" shocked fan Ruben Verdonck said after, with the Belgian flag draped around his shoulders. \"I don't understand it,\" he told AFP. Records, sparkle and sentiment Eurovision revels in kitsch and a Swiss opening blast of alphorns and yodelling, accompanied by dancers in traditional costumes, got the party started. Dressed in sparkling silver costumes and dazzling sunglasses, Icelandic duo Vaeb -- brothers Matthias and Halfdan Matthiasson -- were the first contestants on stage with their rowing-inspired song \"Roa\". Next came Poland's Justyna Steczkowska, 52, who took part in Eurovision 1995 -- the longest-ever time between two appearances -- with a gothic performance. Lilting through languages including French, Albanian and Ukrainian, the show swung from upbeat to comic to tear-jerking. Slovenia's Klemen was joined on stage by his wife for the self-penned ballad \"How Much Time Do We Have Left\" -- written about the bombshell of her cancer diagnosis. Iceland, Portugal upset odds Besides Sweden, Estonia and The Netherlands -- who are considered among the front-runners -- acts from Albania, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Ukraine Iceland and Portugal made it to Saturday's showdown. There was heartache for Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Slovenia and last year's runners-up Croatia, who were eliminated alongside Belgium's Red Sebastian. The spectacular stage in Basel is different for the 69th edition of Eurovision, stretching deep into the arena, with fans on three sides. Pyrotechnic blasts, 4,500 pulsing lights and lasers, and ever-changing giant screens set the mood for each song. Lighting designer Tim Routledge said the stage set meant he could create a \"three-dimensional frame of light\". Following Thursday's second semi, 26 countries will take part in Saturday's glitzy final, which, as ever, is set to be a light-hearted celebration of European popular music. Though 10 go through from each semi, the scores are only revealed after Saturday's final, maintaining the drama by making it hard for acts and fans alike to gauge momentum.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Jordan Times)AMMAN - The impact of the heatwave over the Kingdom has begun to ease, with a noticeable drop in temperatures expected in the coming days, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said on Sunday. On Sunday, temperatures dipped slightly as the hot air mass affecting the country weakened. Weather conditions remained relatively hot in high mountainous areas and hot elsewhere. Dusty skies prevailed across much of the Kingdom, accompanied by high-altitude clouds. Moderate northwesterly winds picked up occasionally during the afternoon hours. Further relief is anticipated on Monday, with the heatwave forecast to retreat more significantly, according to JMD. A marked drop in temperatures will bring more moderate conditions to most regions. The weather on Monday and Tuesday is expected to be mild in general, with relatively hot conditions continuing in the desert areas, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Winds will remain moderate from the northwest, becoming active at intervals, the JMD forecast. By Wednesday, JMD said, temperatures are expected to remain moderate in the highlands and plains, while desert regions, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba will continue to experience relatively warm conditions. Northwesterly winds will persist at moderate speeds, the department said.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Jordan Times)AMMAN - The National Centre for Curriculum Development (NCCD) said on Sunday that it has approved 65 new school textbooks, including student books, workbooks, activity materials, and teacher guides, spanning various academic subjects from kindergarten through Year 12. In a statement, the Centre said the newly approved materials cover Arabic language, Islamic education, English language, science, mathematics, digital skills, and early childhood education. Among the most notable additions are the kindergarten resources, which include image cards, story collections, and practical guides for teachers to support early learning. The Islamic education curriculum has been expanded with new textbooks and teacher guides for Years 2, 5, and 8, as well as the Year 12 textbook for the academic stream's first semester, the statement said. The English language curriculum saw the release of student books, workbooks, and teacher guides for Years 2, 4, 10, and 12 (advanced level). Updated Arabic language teacher guides were also introduced for Years 4, 7, and 10. For Year 12 students, new science and mathematics materials were approved, including textbooks and experiment/activity books in chemistry, physics, biology, and earth and environmental sciences. Mathematics textbooks and workbooks for the first semester were also finalised, following earlier drafts published on the NCCD website, the statement said. The Centre said these curricular reforms were part of its ongoing efforts to modernise Jordan's national curriculum in line with international best practices and the evolving needs of the education sector, while adhering to the philosophical and legal foundations of Jordanian education. The reforms also aim to strengthen critical thinking, integrate linguistic and digital competencies, and uphold national and religious values. All new materials were developed in accordance with modern academic and pedagogical standards, drawing on input from specialised authoring and review committees. The NCCD also ensured that content accounts for students' diverse needs and individual learning differences.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Jordan Times)AMMAN - The Ministry of Agriculture on Sunday announced suspending imports of live poultry and untreated poultry products from Brazil following the confirmation of avian influenza cases in the South American country. The ministry said that the move is a precautionary measure aimed at protecting animal health, public safety, and national food security, in line with Jordan's risk management protocols, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. The suspension would remain in effect until further notice to be reviewed once the epidemiological situation in Brazil improves, the ministry said. \"The measure was based on veterinary risk assessments and international surveillance data. It applies to all types of live birds and poultry products that have not undergone sufficient heat to neutralise the virus,\" the ministry noted. It also pointed out that poultry products that have been properly thermally processed and proven safe through international health standards are exempt from the ban, adding that it was closely monitoring animal health developments in exporting countries through coordination with the World Organisation for Animal Health and other international monitoring bodies. It also stressed its readiness to take further necessary steps to safeguard public health and the integrity of Jordan's agricultural sector. Avian influenza, also known as bird flu, is a type of zoonotic (or animal) influenza that affects wild birds and poultry and is caused by virus sub-types A(H5N1), A(H9N2), according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Avian influenza has occasionally infected humans; however it does not easily transmit between humans, the organisation added. The majority of human cases of avian influenza have been associated with direct or indirect contact with infected live or dead poultry, the WHO said.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Jordan Times)AMMAN - The Cabinet, during a session on Sunday chaired by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, approved a package of incentives it said aiming at enhancing Aqaba's appeal as a global destination for tourism, residential living, and real estate investment. The decision followed a recommendation by the Board of Commissioners of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) and forms part of a broader strategy aligned with the Economic Modernisation Vision. The move seeks to position Aqaba, 330km south of Amman, among the top 100 cities worldwide in terms of livability and investment potential, according to a Prime Ministry statement. The new measures include customs exemptions and benefits aimed at encouraging long-term residency for foreigners. For the first time, incentives will also be extended to Jordanian citizens purchasing residential units in gated communities in the port city of Aqaba, the statement said. As per the new incentives, buyers acquiring a residential property for the first time directly from a certified developer will be eligible for temporary import approval of a small personal vehicle. Properties must be valued at no less than JD150,000, and customs exemptions for the vehicle may not exceed 25 percent of the property's value. The Cabinet approved a one-time customs and sales tax exemption of 5 percent and 16 per cent respectively for individuals importing a personal boat. Each person will be allowed to import one boat, for personal and non-commercial use only. The sale or transfer of ownership will require prior approval and customs clearance from ASEZA. The statement said that around 1,100 residential units, ranging from apartments to villas, are currently available within gated communities in Aqaba. Another 1,200 units are scheduled for development in the coming months. The Cabinet also approved a series of innovative educational and environmental projects in Aqaba's southern coastal area projects include coral farming and marine biodiversity research using modern technologies, as well as the establishment of advanced laboratories for marine life studies. The Marine Science Station and surrounding facilities will also undergo comprehensive rehabilitation to serve as an internationally recognized research and education center. The Cabinet also approved the Jordanian National Plan to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace, and Security for the years 2025–2027. The plan, developed by the Ministry of Youth, aims to empower young people through leadership development, entrepreneurship support, and social inclusion. It also focuses on addressing the needs of marginalized groups, including youth with disabilities and refugees, according to the statement. The initiative builds on efforts led by HRH Crown Prince Hussein, which culminated in the adoption of the resolution by the UN Security Council in 2015. It emphasizes the role of youth in peace building and national development. The Council of Ministers also approved the framework for establishing a high coordination council between Jordan and Syria, to be co-chaired by the foreign ministers of both countries, with the aim of fostering cooperation in key areas including trade, transport, energy, and health. The Cabinet approved an agreement between the Jordan Cooperative Corporation and the International Labour Organization (ILO) to provide technical support for capacity-building in the field of decent work. Under the agreement, 30 agricultural cooperative associations will receive training this year, with an additional 60 to be trained during 2026 and 2027. The initiative also includes the development of software for the national cooperative services portal, the statement said.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Jordan Times)IRBID - In the quiet hills and valleys of northern Jordan, where morning mist brushes over olive groves and birdsong breaks the silence, Ammar Omari has found his calling. A mechanical engineer by training and a teacher by profession, Omari is also one of Jordan's most passionate wildlife photographers, devoted to revealing the hidden beauty of the Kingdom's natural life. Hailing from Irbid, Omari began his journey into wildlife photography in 2013 with modest equipment and a simple goal: to capture the birds he saw in the countryside near his home. “I started with basic gear, just trying to photograph the surrounding birds,” Omari told The Jordan Times.“I was amazed by the variety and beauty of the wildlife in our area, especially the birds.” Over the past three years, Omari has sharpened his skills and invested in advanced equipment, focusing on northern Jordan's rich ecosystems, a haven for migratory and resident species. To date, he has photographed approximately 95 bird species, both resident and migratory, including the Dead Sea sparrow, the common kingfisher, the black-winged kite, and the greenfinch. He also turns his lens towards land animals, capturing images of Arabian red foxes, golden jackals, and chameleons. “One of my favourite sightings was the black vulture,” he said.“It is a migratory bird and extremely rare to spot in the Middle East. The photo I took isn't my best in terms of quality, but the rarity of the bird makes it one of my most special moments.” Omari's dedication has earned recognition. In 2024, he won first place in a local wildlife photography competition organised by the Jordan Photography Society. His work has also crossed regional borders. National Geographic Arabic published three of his photos, bringing attention to Jordan's lesser-known biodiversity. “I hope through my work to spread awareness about the beauty of natural life in Jordan and the importance of keeping it safe and alive,” Omari said. His fieldwork often requires long hours of silence, patience, and stealth.“This craft needs a lot of patience,” he acknowledged.“Sometimes, I have to disguise myself and hide for hours just to get close enough for the perfect shot.” “I want my photos to inspire admiration and action,” Omari said.“Jordan's natural heritage is precious, and we must protect it for future generations.” His images tell a story of resilience and beauty, urging viewers to appreciate the ecosystems that thrive in this small but vibrant country. Balancing teaching with his passion, Omari dreams of the future.“I hope to host my own exhibition one day,” he said,“to share Jordan's wild wonders with the world.” For now, he continues his quiet mission, one frame at a time, revealing vast worlds that invite us to explore and safeguard Jordan's natural legacy.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Daily News Egypt) The Israeli occupation army's campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip entered its 225th consecutive day on Saturday, marked by relentless airstrikes, mounting civilian casualties, and an ever-deepening humanitarian catastrophe. Despite mounting international concern, ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel in Doha-mediated by Qatar and Egypt-remain at a standstill. Gaza's Ministry of Health reported that at least 96 Palestinians were killed and over 140 injured since early Saturday, pushing the death toll since Israel resumed its offensive to more than 3,000. Since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, over 53,000 Palestinians have been killed and 121,000 wounded-figures that Palestinian and international observers increasingly describe as indicative of one of the most devastating modern genocides. Among the dead are five journalists killed in simultaneous Israeli airstrikes while on assignment. According to Hamas, the total number of media workers killed has reached 220. The movement condemned the targeting of journalists as an attempt to“silence the truth,” urging international media organizations to stand in solidarity with Gaza's press corps. On the ground, the Israeli occupation forces launched a new military operation,“Chariots of Gideon,” involving more than 670 airstrikes across the Strip. Ground incursions continue in Jabalia refugee camp in the north and in Khuza'a and Al-Fukhari near Khan Younis in the south, supported by heavy artillery and aerial bombardment. Palestinian sources say the intense shelling is being used to clear paths for advancing ground forces, as many civilians remain trapped beneath the rubble of destroyed homes, schools, and hospitals. The intensification of military operations coincides with deadlocked indirect negotiations in Doha. U.S. hostage envoy Adam Boehler acknowledged the talks are“not going well” and described them as“extremely volatile.” He stated that Washington has made it clear to Hamas that any ceasefire would depend on the release of hostages, adding that“progress requires pressure and resolve.” Meanwhile, US Middle East envoy Stephen Witkoff sought to assure the international community that the Trump administration“will not allow a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.” However, observers and humanitarian groups have criticized such statements as inconsistent with conditions on the ground-where aid convoys are routinely blocked, relief workers targeted, and hospitals bombed. UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini issued a stark warning, saying that“Gaza is dying slowly.” He noted that humanitarian aid has been stuck at border crossings for over two months, with food and medical supplies nearing expiration. In a post on X, Lazzarini appealed for the immediate lifting of the blockade, stating,“Let us do our job. There is no need to reinvent the wheel.” Amid growing concern, the U.S. Embassy in Libya denied an NBC News report alleging that the Trump administration was considering relocating one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya. The embassy called the report“not true,” though the network claimed discussions were held with unnamed Libyan figures. As the war drags on, global outrage continues to mount. Marking the 77th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, hundreds of thousands marched in major European cities-including London, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Athens-demanding an end to what demonstrators labeled a genocide and calling for a halt to Western military and political support for Israel. Protesters carried banners condemning war crimes and urging international prosecution of Israeli leaders, as calls intensify for sanctions and diplomatic isolation of the occupying power.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Daily News Egypt) Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi met on Sunday with Massad Boulos, Senior Adviser to US President Donald Trump on Arab, Middle Eastern, and African Affairs, to discuss bilateral relations and pressing regional issues, including the ongoing war in Gaza and developments in Libya, Lebanon, Sudan, and Yemen. The high-level talks were attended by Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and General Intelligence Chief Hassan Rashad. The US delegation included Ambassador Herro Mustafa, the US envoy to Cairo, and Joshua Harris, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for North Africa. According to Presidential Spokesperson Mohamed El-Shennawy, Boulos conveyed greetings from President Trump. President Al-Sisi, in turn, reaffirmed the strength of strategic ties between Egypt and the United States, and reiterated Cairo's commitment to enhancing cooperation across multiple areas of mutual interest. At the center of the discussions was the escalating conflict in Gaza. President Al-Sisi called for an immediate ceasefire and stressed the urgent need to deliver humanitarian aid to civilians. He highlighted the importance of ongoing mediation efforts led by Egypt, the US, and Qatar, and expressed Egypt's readiness to maintain close coordination with Washington moving forward. Boulos reaffirmed the Trump administration's commitment to continued collaboration with Egypt in restoring regional stability, emphasizing that such efforts align with the broader interests of all stakeholders. The two sides also discussed the protracted crisis in Libya. President Al-Sisi reiterated Egypt's support for a Libyan-led political process, stressing the importance of unifying the country's political institutions and forming a credible government capable of organizing simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections. He emphasized Egypt's direct stake in Libya's stability, given their shared border and intertwined security interests. Further talks addressed developments in Lebanon, Sudan, and Yemen, with both parties underscoring the need to safeguard the sovereignty, unity, and resources of these nations. The meeting also included a broader review of developments across the African continent, particularly in the Horn of Africa and the Sahel. Discussions focused on strategies to promote long-term stability, strengthen state institutions, and address mounting geopolitical and environmental challenges. The visit comes amid a rapidly deteriorating situation in Gaza, as regional and international actors-including Egypt and the United States-intensify efforts to broker a ceasefire and avert further humanitarian catastrophe.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Daily News Egypt) Egypt plans to allocate EGP 700bn for total investments in human development in its FY 2025/26 plan, Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation Rania Al-Mashat said during a presentation to the Senate. Presenting the draft plan for economic and social development for the upcoming fiscal year, Al-Mashat stated that the government“began correcting the economic course in March 2024 with integrated policies and measures.” She added that“the fruits of reform are evident in the improvement of economic growth indicators in the first half of the fiscal year, supported by non-petroleum manufacturing industries.” The minister noted that the plan document“follows a balanced approach that strengthens Egypt's economic resilience amid crises, disturbances, and geopolitical tensions,” and affirmed that“the government is determined to continue the necessary measures to improve the investment climate and stimulate the private sector.” Al-Mashat delivered the statement before the Senate's plenary session, chaired by Counselor Abdel-Wahab Abdel-Razeq. She expressed appreciation to Abdel-Razeq and Senate members for their efforts in establishing democratic pillars and constructive discussion. She also thanked Hani Sari El-Din, Chair of the Financial and Economic Affairs Committee, and other committee heads for their input on the draft plan. Exceptional Timing and Reform Efforts Al-Mashat reaffirmed that the economic and social development plan for the upcoming fiscal year comes at an“exceptional time” for the Egyptian economy, amidst regional and global transformations. She stated that Egypt has managed to break free from a“vicious cycle” affecting the economy in recent years. Since March 2024, the government has initiated corrective measures based on consistent fiscal and monetary policies, strict governance of investment spending, and policies stimulating foreign investments, Al-Mashat said. These efforts are supported by the implementation of the national structural reform programme, aiming to solidify macroeconomic stability. The minister pointed to a“noticeable improvement” in the Egyptian economy's performance, reflected in economic indicators showing growth of 3.5% in the first quarter and 4.3% in the second quarter of FY 2024/25, with an expected growth rate of about 4% for the year. This growth was primarily driven by non-oil manufacturing, a recovering tourism sector, and growth in communications and IT, despite external tensions affecting Suez Canal activity, she added. Plan Framework and Pillars Al-Mashat noted that the new draft plan is the first prepared by the ministry since the merger of the ministries of planning and economic development with international cooperation. It aligns with the ministry's new framework,“Sustainability and Financing for Economic Development,” which links national and sectoral development plans and aims to maximise local and foreign financing sources and improve resource utilisation. The plan maintains public investment limits in line with fiscal discipline goals, aiming to create space for macroeconomic stability and allow the private sector to lead development. It is prepared within a medium-term budget framework (FY 2025/26-FY 2028/29) and incorporates advanced planning tools to improve public investment efficiency and performance monitoring. The plan is based on the continued implementation of the national structural reform programme, focusing on macroeconomic stability, competitiveness, business environment improvement for private sector participation, and a green economy transition. It also draws on the report“Advancing Economic Development in Egypt: Reforms for Growth, Jobs & Resilience” to shift towards an economic model based on sustainable growth in tradable and exportable sectors. Key pillars of the FY 2025/26 plan include rationalising public spending, stimulating local manufacturing and innovation-based industries, and prioritising human development. The EGP 700bn allocated for total investments (private and public) in human development sectors (education, health, and other social services) in the FY 2025/2026 plan compares to EGP 447bn in the FY 2024/25 plan, an increase of over 56%. Public investments in these sectors are set at about EGP 327bn, representing over 28% of total public investments for the year. Improving Investment Climate Al-Mashat reiterated that the plan includes measures to improve the investment climate and stimulate the private sector through facilities and incentives. She noted ongoing negotiations with development partners to provide financing for the private sector, reflecting its attractiveness and the success of state-led structural reforms. The plan also focuses on stimulating innovation and entrepreneurship through the Ministerial Group for Entrepreneurship, aiming to enhance the capacity of startups and the entrepreneurship ecosystem.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Daily News Egypt) The Ministry of Labour, in partnership with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ Egypt), has launched the Labour Market Information Coordinating Observatory, marking a significant step toward institutionalising regional labour market observatories. The newly integrated observatory will operate within the Ministry's framework, streamlining efforts to analyse and adapt to labour market dynamics. This initiative follows a ministerial decree aimed at regulating and expanding the work of these observatories, ensuring their full integration into the national labour market information system. The announcement took place during a special event attended by Minister of Labour Mohamed Gebran, Deputy Ambassador of Germany to Egypt Anette Kleine, and a distinguished gathering of investor association leaders, business representatives, and officials from key ministries and international organisations. In his address, Minister Gebran urged ministries, government bodies, and private sector stakeholders to leverage the observatory's insights in shaping policies for education, vocational training, employment, and productivity enhancement. He reaffirmed the Ministry's commitment to continuously refining the observatory's work, ensuring its alignment with evolving labour market demands. Participants highlighted the observatory's critical role in supplying decision-makers with data-driven guidance, enabling educational and employment strategies that effectively respond to local labour needs. According to the Ministry, the Coordinating Observatory builds upon efforts initiated in 2014 under GIZ's Employment Promotion Project, which led to the establishment of five regional labour market observatories across Egypt-located in Sixth of October City, Sadat City, Alexandria, Aswan, and 10th of Ramadan City. These observatories function through a participatory model that engages representatives from ministries, investor associations, business leaders, and academic institutions. By gathering and analysing labour market data at the governorate level, these regional observatories support evidence-based policymaking and contribute to Egypt's Vision 2030 indicators. Over the years, they have produced numerous reports and studies, helping to maintain accurate industry databases. The formal integration of these observatories under the Coordinating Observatory represents a strategic move to unify national and regional labour market planning efforts. It underscores Egypt's commitment to fostering an adaptive, well-informed labour market that supports sustainable development goals outlined in Vision 2030.

The collaboration is aimed at establishing and operating a new network of branches to provide integrated financial and digital solutions. This initiative supports state efforts to achieve financial inclusion and digital transformation, and is intended to contribute to the delivery of high-quality financial services to citizens and businesses. The agreement was signed by Ahmed Enayet, CEO and Managing Director of AL Ahly Momken, and Ahmed Faiz, Managing Director of Post Distribution CO-PDC. The signing ceremony was attended by Ahmed Ghazy, Deputy CEO and Chief Commercial Officer of AL Ahly Momken, along with Hady Ayad, Head of Retail and Strategic Partnerships, Essam Abdel Fattah, Head of Legal Affairs, Ahmed Abdel Aziz, Head of Financial Affairs, and Ahmed Farid, Senior Manager of the Retail Department at Post Distribution CO-PDC. Ahmed Enayet stated that the partnership aligns with AL Ahly Momken's strategy to support Egypt's Vision 2030 for sustainable development and to promote financial inclusion by expanding digital services to all areas, including remote and underserved regions lacking access to traditional financial services. “We are proud to collaborate with Post Distribution CO-PDC, which brings extensive experience in managing branches and service units under the franchise model nationwide,” Enayet said.“This enables us to deliver outstanding services that meet customer needs efficiently and seamlessly.” Ahmed Ghazy explained that the first phase of the collaboration will involve launching two new branches in Cairo and Port Said, with plans for gradual expansion across all governorates. He added that more branches may be opened in densely populated areas with increasing demand for services. Ghazy pointed out that the new branches will offer a comprehensive package of services, including the opening of e-wallets, Know Your Customer (KYC) services, and collection of payments for individuals and companies, in addition to many other non-banking services, all within a fully secure digital environment. For Post Distribution CO-PDC, Ahmed Faiz emphasised that this partnership complements the company's ongoing efforts to support Egypt's service infrastructure. He noted that Post Distribution CO-PDC has more than 15 years of experience in establishing, operating, and managing branches under the franchise model nationwide, supported by a strong operational network and advanced logistical infrastructure covering various governorates. “We are proud of this partnership, which reflects the trust of leading institutions in the capabilities of Post Distribution CO-PDC,” Faiz said.“We will manage and operate the new branches according to the highest standards of efficiency and quality, ensuring an exceptional customer experience that supports the state's goal of delivering services to all regions, including villages and remote centres.” Faiz further highlighted that Post Distribution CO-PDC is distinguished by its wide geographical presence and its ability to rapidly expand through branch establishment and recruitment of qualified personnel, factors he believes will enhance the success of the joint project with AL Ahly Momken. He concluded:“We are committed to providing a comprehensive and exceptional service experience to customers, supporting the state's vision of building a modern and inclusive digital economy, and reinforcing Egypt's position as a regional hub for financial and technological innovation.” MENAFN18052025000153011029ID1109564237 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

      • "content": "(The Habesha) – Afewerk Tekle , a celebrated Ethiopian artist, was born on October 22, 1932, in Ankober, Shewa Province. Renowned for his vibrant paintings and stunning stained glass works, Afewerk’s art reflects both African and Christian themes, capturing Ethiopia’s rich cultural tapestry. Initially harboring aspirations in mining engineering, Afewerk’s artistic talents shone early on, earning recognition and encouragement during his time at Leighton Park School in England. His journey took a pivotal turn as he traded engineering ambitions for a creative pursuit at the Central School of Arts and Crafts and later at the prestigious Slade School of Art . This transition was spurred by Emperor Haile Selassie’s exhortation to students to return home not with tales of European achievements, but with skills to rebuild Ethiopia. 💡 With this mission, Afewerk became a luminary in art, blending cultural heritage with personal vision throughout his prolific career. Journey from Ankober to Artistic Recognition Afewerk Tekle’s remarkable journey from Ankober to artistic recognition is a tale of resilience and passion. Born in the picturesque town of Ankober, Ethiopia, Afewerk’s early experiences molded him into one of the most celebrated artists from Africa. His upbringing in Ankober was significantly influenced by his Ethiopian heritage and the historical events of his time. Early Life in Ankober Early life in Ankober offered a unique tapestry of experiences that deeply influenced Afewerk’s development as an artist. These formative years were embedded with cultural richness and family traditions, which later emerged in his artistic work. Afewerk Tekle hailed from a proud Amhara family with a deep-rooted connection to Ethiopian traditions. His parents, Feleketch Yamatawork and Tekle Mamo , provided a nurturing environment that encouraged his early artistic endeavors. The cultural values and traditions passed down by his family played a crucial role in shaping his perspectives and creative pursuits. Growing up during the Italian occupation in World War II, Afewerk’s childhood was marked by adversity and resilience. The experiences of living under occupation left a profound impact on him, igniting a strong sense of national pride and a desire to contribute to his nation’s recovery. These early challenges inspired themes of hope and resilience that he would later explore in his artwork. Impacts of Emperor Haile Selassie’s Words The influence of Emperor Haile Selassie’s words on Afewerk Tekle was both profound and transformative. These words served as a catalyst for his education and artistic journey. During a pivotal address to students, Emperor Haile Selassie urged the youth, including Afewerk, to bring back skills and knowledge to help rebuild Ethiopia. His words instilled a sense of purpose and inspiration , prompting Afewerk to fulfill his responsibility through artistic expression. The Emperor’s speech emphasized the importance of using one’s talents for national development, which became a driving force in Afewerk’s artistic aspirations. Fueled by a passionate desire to contribute to his country, Afewerk resolved to study abroad . Initially planning to pursue engineering, his artistic talent was recognized and redirected. The Emperor’s encouragement, coupled with Afewerk’s own determination, led him on a path to artistic excellence, ultimately impacting the Ethiopian art scene and beyond. Academic Journey in England The academic journey of Afewerk Tekle in England marked a significant transformation in his life. This period was crucial in shaping his future as an artist, and it was during this time that he moved from engineering to the world of art—a shift that would eventually define his legacy. As Afewerk stepped into England, his journey unfolded with support, learning, and exploration at some of the most esteemed institutions for art and craft.

Their encouragement illuminated a path for Afewerk that he had not fully considered before, leading him to question his initial pursuit of engineering. With newfound clarity about his career direction , Afewerk enrolled in the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. This was a decision that set the foundation for his lifelong artistic career. At this prestigious institution, Afewerk would delve deeper into the techniques and history of art, truly immersing himself in an environment that focused on nurturing creativity and skill. The switch from engineering to art was a transformation that would allow him to express himself and his cultural heritage through a different medium, ultimately contributing to his profound impact on Ethiopian art. Advanced Studies at Slade School of Art After establishing a solid groundwork at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, Afewerk’s academic journey advanced to the Slade School of Art . Here, he honed his skills in painting and sculpture, the mediums through which he would later convey dynamic and culturally resonant stories. The Slade School of Art provided him with an environment ripe for exploration and expression. Afewerk’s time at Slade was not limited to painting and sculpture alone.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Peninsula)Xinhua Addis Ababa: Chinese automaker Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd (GAC Group) has introduced two of its electric vehicle (EV) models to the Ethiopian market, marking the Chinese car brand's entry into the East African country. The company unveiled its AION Y and ES9 models on Saturday at a launch event in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Addressing the event, Zeleke Temesgen, commissioner of the Ethiopian Investment Commission, said the government has taken bold measures to encourage the adoption of EVs to accelerate the country's transition to electric mobility. \"The Ethiopian government has already banned the production, import, and assembly of gas-powered cars, so Ethiopia would be an ideal market for reputable companies like GAC Group,\" said Temesgen. Appreciating GAC Group's commitment to launching its EV brand in Ethiopia, the commissioner called on the company to set up a manufacturing plant so as to take advantage of favorable investment and massive market opportunities, and accelerate Ethiopia's green mobility. Bareo Hassen, Ethiopian state minister of transport and logistics, said the government aspires to achieve green mobility \"in the shortest time possible\" with the goal of conserving energy and supporting the national economy. As part of the government's push for a transition to electric mobility, more than 100,000 EVs are currently on the road across Ethiopia, which aims to have up to 500,000 EVs in the next 10 years, replacing the majority of cars powered by fossil fuels. Ethiopia is also working to expand EV production and the installation of public charging stations, and offering support and various incentives to private investors, such as free or leased land for investors in EV after-sales services, according to the Ministry of Transport and Logistics. Wei Haigang, president of GAC International, said the company, through its partner Huajian Group, will sell electric vehicles, establish charging infrastructure, and initiate local assembly operations in Ethiopia. Noting Ethiopia's high potential for the EV market, Wei said GAC Group will engage in EV production in the future to tap into the huge market and support the country's transition to electric mobility.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Peninsula)Fawad Hussain|The Peninsula Doha: Adam Bareiro struck twice in the first half as Al Rayyan cruised into the Amir Cup final with a commanding 3-0 victory over Al Ahli at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium on Sunday. Bareiro's brace set the tone early in the first semi-final, while Roger Guedes added a third with a spot kick in the closing moments of regular time to seal a dominant display. Al Rayyan now await the outcome of Monday's second semi-final between Al Gharafa and Umm Salal to determine their opponents for the May 24 title showdown at Khalifa International Stadium. “All I know is that we want to take the trophy home,” said Al Rayyan captain Abdulaziz Hatem when asked about his preferred opponents in the final. “We started the season with ambitions to win silverware, but unfortunately things didn't go our way. Now the Amir Cup is our last chance and we are just one step away. Our fans make us stronger, and we promise to give our best to make them proud.” Chasing their seventh Amir Cup title – and their first since 2013 – Artur Jorge's side delivered a commanding performance against Igor Biscan's Al Ahli, underlining their intent to end the season with silverware. The match began with both sides showing urgency, exchanging swift attacking moves in the opening minutes. Al Rayyan, however, soon gained control, with Bareiro looking threatening early on. His initial attempt was brilliantly deflected by Al Ahli defender Matej Mitrovic but the Paraguayan striker would not be denied for long. In the 30th minute, a well-delivered set-piece by Murad Naji from the right took a slight deflection off a defender and fell kindly for Bareiro, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner with a precise low finish. Just seven minutes later, Bareiro struck again. A throw-in from Julien De Sart found Ameed M. Mahajneh, whose header into the box allowed Bareiro to double the lead with a close-range finish. Before halftime, Al Ahli's Marwan Sherif made a crucial intervention to deny Mahmoud Trezeguet from extending the lead further. But Al Ahli continued to struggle in attack, with Erik Exposito missing a rare chance as his effort drifted wide after the break. Al Rayyan maintained pressure in the second half, with Trezeguet and Gabriel Pereira both testing Al Ahli's defense. The third and final goal came in 89th minute after Driss Fettouhi fouled Hazem Shehata inside the box. Guedes stepped up and expertly curled his shot into the right corner, sparking celebrations among the Al Rayyan faithful. It was Al Ahli's second semi-final heartbreak this season, having also suffered a 3-0 defeat to Al Sadd in the Qatar Cup. Al Gharafa, Umm Salal set to battle for final berth Meanwhile, Al Gharafa and Umm Salal are set for an exciting second semi-final at Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium. After knocking out defending champions Al Sadd in a dramatic penalty shootout in the quarter-finals, Al Gharafa are keen to capitalise on their momentum and end their long trophy drought. “The Amir Cup is now our primary objective, and we're determined to reach the final,” said Al Gharafa coach Pedro Martins.“Umm Salal have shown great resilience and tactical discipline to reach this stage. We need to stay focused, minimize errors, and make the most of our strengths.” Umm Salal's run to the semi-finals has been particularly impressive, especially after narrowly avoiding relegation with a playoff win. Their quarter-final hero was goalkeeper Landing Badji, who saved three penalties to secure a dramatic shootout win over Al Shamal. Coach Patrice Beaumelle is confident his side can continue their remarkable form. “Reaching the semi-finals is a testament to our collective effort,” he said.“Al Gharafa are a strong team, but we're well-prepared. Our strategy is to capitalize on offensive transitions and maintain high intensity. Every player is motivated to earn a place in the final and make our fans proud.” MENAFN18052025000063011010ID1109563884 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

Dëshmitarët thanë se një burrë i veshur me një jelek shpërtheu veten mes dhjetëra rekrutëve të ushtrisë të rreshtuar jashtë bazës ushtarake Damaanyo. Viktimat, të përshkruara si rekrutë të rinj, prisnin të regjistroheshin. Ata u dërguan në spitalet e afërta për mjekim. Qeveria somaleze tha se forcat e sigurisë parandaluan sulmuesin që të shkaktonte dëm më të madh te popullata civile. Grupi i lidhur me Al-Kaidën Al-Shabaab mori përgjegjësinë për sulmin. Baza e Damaanyo u sulmua në mënyrë të ngjashme në 2023 gjatë një përpjekjeje të mëparshme të rekrutimit të ushtrisë. Sulmi i sotëm duket se synon të pengojë përpjekjet e Somalisë për të rindërtuar ushtrinë e saj kombëtare. Për më shumë se një dekadë, grupi militant ka luftuar për të imponuar një interpretim të ashpër të ligjit të Sheriatit në Somali. Al-Shabab ende kontrollon pjesë të mëdha të Somalisë jugore dhe qendrore.",

      • "content": "Wanajeshi wa Mali waliwakamata watu 22 huko Diafarabe wakati wa soko la kila wiki siku ya Jumatatu ya wili iliyopita kabla ya kuwavusha mto Niger hadi kijiji cha Mamba, karibu na makaburi, ambapo waliuawa, afisa wa eneo hilo ameliambia shirika la habari la AFP. \"Walichimba kaburi la pamoja na kuwakata koo zao wote kabla ya kuwaweka humo,\" chanzo kingine cha ndani kimeliambia shirika la habari la AFP. \"Ni mtu mmoja tu aliyeepuka ukatili huu. Ni mtu huyo ambaye alitoa taarifa kijijini kwamba watu wote waliotekwa waliuawa.\" FIDH imeshutumu vikosi vya jeshi la Mali kwa mauaji ya kikatli dhidi ya raia katika taarifa iliyochapishwa kwenye X siku ya Ijumaa. Takriban wanaume 30 walikamatwa katika eneo hilo, lakini baadhi waliachiliwa, imesema taarifa hiyo. \"Wengine 25 walichukuliwa kwa boti. Miili yao iliyokatwa vichwa, iliyozikwa katika makaburi mawili ya pamoja, iligunduliwa na ,ndugu wa wahasiriwa Mei 15,\" FIDH imeongeza. Kulingana na mashahidi kadhaa, wanaume waliokamatwa ni kutoka jamii ya Fulani, ambayo mara nyingi inalengwa na shutuma za kuwa na uhusiano na wanajihadi. Jeshi limesema linachukulia tuhuma hizi \"kwa uzito mkubwa\" na kuahidi polisi watafanya \"uchunguzi ambao utathibitisha au kukanusha madai hayo,\" kulingana na taarifa kutoka makao makuu ya jeshi iliyochapishwa siku ya Ijumaa. Takriban watu 100 waliandamana katika mitaa ya Diafarabe siku ya Jumanne na Jumatano kudai habari za watu hao waliokamatwa na jeshi. \"Hawako hapa kutulinda. Walikuja kuwamaliza wanaume wote kijijini,\" kaka wa mmoja wa wahasiriwa ameliambia shirika la habari la AFP. Jeshi la Mali na Wagner , kundi la wanamgambo wa Urusi linaloripotiwa kuendesha harakati zake nchini Mali, wanashutumiwa mara kwa mara kwa kufanya dhuluma dhidi ya raia. Wiki tatu zilizopita, miili kadhaa ilipatikana karibu na kambi ya kijeshi ya Mali magharibi mwa nchi, siku chache baada ya jeshi na wanamgambo wa Wagner kuwashikilia makumi ya raia, wengi wao kutoka jamii ya Fulani. Mnamo mwezi wa Februari, takriban raia 20 waliuawa kaskazini mwa Mali wakati magari yao yalilengwa na jeshi na mamluki, kulingana na vyanzo vya ndani. Tangu kuingia madarakani kwa wanajeshi mwaka 2020 na 2021, viongozi wa kijeshi wa Mali wamevunja uhusiano wake na mkoloni wa zamani Ufaransa na kuanzisha uhuiano na Urusi. Mali imekuwa ikikumbwa na misukosuko tangu mwaka 2012 na makundi ya kijihadi yenye mafungamano na Al Qaeda na Islamic State, pamoja na ghasia za jamii na makundi ya wahalifu.",

      • "content": "\"Tutawakaribisha wale wote ambao watachagua kusimama na serikali,\" Waziri Mkuu Abdulhamid Dbeibah amesema katika hotuba ya televisheni. \"Tutawaweka kando wale wanaotumia ubadhirifu na ufisadi. Lengo letu ni Libya isiyo na wanamgambo na ufisadi.\" Siku kadhaa za mapigano katika mji mkuu huo zimehusisha kundi lenye silaha lenye mafungamano na serikali yenye makao yake makuu mjini Tripoli dhidi ya makundi ambayo kundi hilo limekuwa kikitaka kusambaratisha. Libya imegawanyika kati ya serikali inayotambuliwa na Umoja wa Mataifa mjini Tripoli, inayoongozwa na Dbeibah, na utawala hasimu wa mashariki unaodhibitiwa na familia ya mbabe wa kivita Khalifa Haftar . Nchi hiyo ya Afrika Kaskazini imesalia na mgawanyiko mkubwa tangu uasi wa waka 2011 ulioungwa mkono na NATO ambao ulimwondoa na kumuua kiongozi wa muda mrefu Moamar Kadhafi. Mapigano ya hivi majuzi yamesababisha vifo vya takriban watu wanane, umesema Umoja wa Mataifa, wakati mamlaka bado haijatoa hesabu rasmi. Mapigano hayo yalichochewa na mauaji ya Abdelghani al-Kikli, mkuu wa kitengo cha Msaada na Utulivu (SSA), aliyeuawa na Brigedi ya 444 inayoungwa mkono na Dbeibah. Wimbi la pili la mapigano lilihusiha Brigedi ya 444 dhidi ya kundi jingine, kikosi cha Radaa, ambacho kinadhibiti maeneo ya mashariki mwa Tripoli na taasisi kadhaa muhimu za serikali. Na msururu wa maagizo ya viongozi yalikuwa yakitaka kusambaratishwa kwa Radaa na kufuta makundi mengine yenye silaha yenye makao yake makuu mjini Tripoli, ukiondoa Brigedi ya 444. Hotuba ya hivi punde zaidi ya Dbeibah ilihusu hasa Radaa, kundi linalodhibiti sehemu za mashariki mwa Tripoli. \"Jaribio la kuzusha mfarakano kati yetu na Souq al-Joumaa (ngome ya Radaa) litashindwa,\" Dbeibah amesema, akikiri \"kosa la pamoja\" alipozungumzia \"mapigano katikati ya Tripoli katika vitongoji vilivyojaa raia\". Alisema kuwa mshirika wa SSA \"amechukua udhibiti wa benki sita, na wale waliothubutu kumpinga wametoweka,\" akitaja hasa ukatili wa mpwa wa Kikli, ambaye hivi karibuni \"aliua watu kumi kwa damu baridi.\" Mshirika mwingine wa SSA, Ousama Al Masri Nejim, anatafutwa na Mahakama ya Kimataifa ya Uhalifu kwa kumtesa na kumbaka msichana mdogo, Dbeibah alisema. \"Kwa mara ya kwanza, ninaweza kuwaambia kuwa unaweza kutumaini kuwaondoa wanamgambo,\" Dbeibah alisema, akiahidi kuwaondoa \"wale wanaotanguliza uhujumu na ufisadi\". Hata hivyo wakaazi wa Tripoli wameingia mitaani kwa siku mbili mfululizo, wakitaka Dbeibah ajiuzulu baada ya mapigano hayo mabaya. Takriban watu 500 waliandamana siku ya Jumamosi baada ya maelfu ya waandamanaji wengine wanaoipinga serikali kukusanyika katika uwanja wa Mashujaa katikati mwa Tripoli siku ya Ijumaa kabla ya kuandamana kuelekea ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu. Maandamano ya Ijumaa yalikuwa yamefuatwa na afisa mmoja wa polisi kupigwa risasi na washambuliaji wasiojulikana alipokuwa \"akilengwa wakati akiilinda\" ofisi ya Dbeibah, kulingana na serikali. Tripoli iliona dalili za hali ya kawaida siku ya Ijumaa, na safari za ndege zilianza tena, maduka yakifunguliwa na watu wakirejea kazini. Lakini pamoja na hayo, hali ya kisiasa katika mji mkuu imeendelea kuwa tete. Vyombo vya habari vya ndani viliripoti mwishoni mwa Ijumaa kwamba mawaziri sita na naibu mawaziri kutoka baraza la mawaziri la Dbeibah wamejiuzulu. Ni wawili tu waliothibitisha kuondoka kwao. Mabaraza kadhaa ya manispaa magharibi mwa Tripoli yalionyesha kuunga mkono maandamano hayo ya kutaka Dbeibah ajiuzulu. Khaled al-Mishri, mkuu wa Baraza Kuu la Nchi katika mji mkuu, alisema ameanza mazungumzo na bunge lenye makao yake mashariki mwa nchi \"kumchagua mtu wa kitaifa kuunda serikali mpya\". Dbeibah, wakati huo huo, alikutana na wazee wa makabila katika mji mkuu siku ya Jumamosi na kusema serikali yake \"inajaribu kujibu haraka\" kuhusu matukio ya hivi majuzi katika jiji hilo.",

      • "content": "(TH) – Abiy Ahmed’s Ethiopia-first nationalism has triggered a tumultuous chapter in Ethiopia’s history, as his perceived supremacy and self-aggrandizement have led the nation to the brink of disaster. With roots entwined in both the Oromo and Amhara groups, his leadership was once seen as a beacon for unity and reform. Yet, the reality has turned starkly different, with Abiy making expensive and ostentatious displays of power— $13 billion palaces , drone shows, and lavish park developments—while essential services, like hospitals and education, plead for resources. The palace he builds stands as a stark contrast to the needs of everyday citizens who are struggling to find their next meal. Is this genuine progress, or is Ethiopia merely being misled by illusions of grandeur? Abiy Ahmed’s Perception of Superiority Abiy Ahmed perceives himself as superior to the Ethiopian populace, likening his authority to that of a deity . This perception is rooted in his belief that he possesses the unparalleled power to both devastate and rescue Ethiopia. Abiy Ahmed’s Divine Authority Complex Abiy Ahmed carries an extraordinary belief in his divine authority , imagining himself as a savior with the sole discretion to alter the fate of Ethiopia. This complex is reflected in his approach to leadership, manifesting through bold decisions that oscillate between the potential for devastation and the promise of rescue . He envisions his policies as the fulcrum upon which Ethiopia’s entire future balances, asserting his narrative and dismissing dissent as misinformed. Relationship with the TPLF Before assuming the helm of Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed was enlisted by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) . This affiliation played a crucial role in his political journey, providing him with insights into the intricate landscape of Ethiopian politics. Although their relationship eventually soured, the ties with the TPLF mark a significant chapter in Abiy’s political saga, shedding light on his past alliances and the strategic maneuvers that propelled him into the limelight . The TPLF’s impact on the dynamics of ethnic politics in Ethiopia cannot be overlooked. Their political strategies, primarily revolving around ethnic federalism , introduced a new paradigm that has deeply affected the Tigray and Amhara regions. Abiy Ahmed’s affiliation with this faction adds layers to his political persona, intertwining his leadership with the systemic ethnic complexities that continue to challenge the nation’s unity. His past association with the TPLF, and the enduring legacy of the ethnic political framework they endorsed, remains a contentious and pivotal element of his political identity. Initial Reforms Post-2018 Overview of Key Reforms After taking the helm in April 2018, Abiy Ahmed embarked on an ambitious reform agenda intended to revitalize Ethiopia and promote harmony among its diverse societies. One of the first monumental moves was lifting the state of emergency that had been imposed due to civil unrest, symbolizing a fresh dawn for freedom and democracy. Significant efforts were also made to dissolve the existing media censorship, giving rise to a more open and robust press. This was a bold move, allowing Ethiopians to access diverse perspectives and engage in dialogue on national issues. Furthermore, Abiy Ahmed went on to release thousands of political prisoners, a step that mended many societal rifts and encouraged political dialogue. He extended olive branches to various opposition groups in exile, inviting them to return and participate in the democratic process. These reforms were met with optimism from many quarters, hailed as a new era for Ethiopia. Peace Agreement Initiatives Steps Toward National Unity Abiy Ahmed’s tenure witnessed remarkable strides towards securing peace and fostering national unity, most notably through the historic peace agreement with neighboring Eritrea. This epoch-making accord effectively ended a bitter conflict that had been festering for nearly two decades, reopening diplomatic and economic channels that crucially needed mending. The initiative extended beyond mere politics, significantly impacting the socio-economic weave of both countries. Trade routes reopened, cultural exchanges recommenced, and families separated by the long-standing conflict were joyously reunited. This agreement not only earned Abiy Ahmed international applause, securing him the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in 2019, but also provided a beacon of hope for harmony across Africa. At home, efforts to promote unity were stepped up through dialogues that engaged various regional leaders, aiming to address ethnic tensions and foster cooperation. By seeking more inclusive political discourse, Abiy Ahmed aimed to weave a new narrative for Ethiopia—one of solidarity, peace, and shared destiny. Abiy Ahmed’s Ethiopia-first Nationalism and Civil War Abiy Ahmed’s rise to power brought with it a strong stance on Ethiopia-first nationalism, a policy that emphasized the unity and sovereignty of the Ethiopian state above all else. This approach, rooted in a desire to consolidate national identity and sovereignty, however, unfolded into complex challenges. The Ethiopia-first policies often prioritised central government authority and top-down decision-making, harkening back to traditional governance structures that may have overlooked regional diversities. Proponents argue that such nationalism aimed to unify a country fragmented by decades of ethnic federalism, while critics worry that it fueled centralization at the expense of ethnic representation and autonomy. Overview of Ethiopia-first Policies Abiy Ahmed’s Ethiopia-first policies were driven by the belief in strong central governance . These policies aimed to transcend ethnic divisions by promoting a singular national identity. The overarching goals were to mitigate the ethnic divides that have long characterised Ethiopian politics and to strengthen national unity. However, this drive was met with resistance and pushback from ethnic groups who felt their rights and representations were being undermined. Civil War in Amhara Region The Amhara region, a pivotal area in Ethiopia’s historic and political landscape, became one of the most affected by the ensuing civil war. Abiy Ahmed’s government found itself in a complex quagmire, navigating the claims of ethnic conflict and increasing tension between ethnic groups. Claims began surfacing regarding the rivalry between Amhara and other ethnic groups, especially the Oromo, which was compounded by disputes over territory and identity. Abiy Ahmed’s narrative often labelled ethnic groups as antagonistic forces opposing federalism, thus exacerbating existing divides. The impact of these policies further inflamed tensions among ethnic groups, as the centralised government narrative became the backdrop against which various communities gauged their own standing and future. Abiy Ahmed’s efforts to harness a form of Ethiopia-first nationalism arguably led to unintended consequences. The aim to transcend ethnic lines backfired into deeper divisions because of the forced top-down identity enforcement and failure to adequately address the historical grievances and autonomy concerns of Ethiopia’s diverse ethnic groups. Criticism of Abiy Ahmed’s Administration Abiy Ahmed’s administration has faced significant criticism regarding its handling of economic priorities and controversies. There’s an ongoing debate about whether the government’s spending aligns with the nation’s urgent needs. Economic Priorities and Spending The construction of the new palace for nearly 10 billion dollars has sparked outrage among Ethiopians. Critics argue that investing such a colossal amount in a palace is insensitive, given the economic struggles and the urgent need for basic services across the country. For many, this project seems more like a pursuit of grandeur rather than addressing pressing national issues . Abiy’s administration has also been under fire for prioritizing the development of parks and recreational facilities. While such investments have the potential to improve urban living standards, the timing draws criticism. Many believe the funds allocated for these projects could be better used to support critical sectors like health and education, directly impacting the everyday lives of Ethiopians . Public Reactions and Controversies The lavish drone shows have been a point of contention, especially against the backdrop of a struggling economy. While these displays are impressive technological feats intended to showcase progress and uplift national pride, they have been labeled as frivolous when many citizens face pressing economic hardships. Critics argue that these shows do little to alleviate the core issues plaguing Ethiopia’s development. Healthcare professionals have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with the current administration. The prioritization of extravagant displays over the dire state of the healthcare system has drawn ire from those within the sector. In a country where there is a call for more support in terms of resources and funding to meet basic healthcare demands, these professionals see the government’s actions as neglectful, if not dismissive, of their efforts to provide essential care to the population . The Future Needs of Ethiopia Economic Investments Over Symbolic Gestures Ethiopia, a nation rich in history and culture, faces crucial decisions about its economic future. As the country stands at a crossroads, it becomes evident that economic investments with tangible benefits far outweigh symbolic gestures. Building grand monuments and holding extravagant events may project an alluring image to the outside world, yet they often fail to alleviate the economic hardships of the ordinary Ethiopian citizen. Economic investments , such as infrastructure development, education, and healthcare, present opportunities for Ethiopia to propel its citizens into a brighter, more prosperous future . These areas are impactful because they provide long-term benefits, increase job opportunities, and improve quality of life. For example, investments in education help cultivate an informed workforce, while enhancements in healthcare systems ensure a healthier population. Improvements in infrastructure not only facilitate commerce but also bridge communities, promoting national cohesion. Balancing National Image with Practical Welfare Balancing the nation’s image with the practical welfare of its citizens presents a unique challenge for Ethiopia. A visionary leadership should not merely focus on external perception but prioritize cultivating a sustainable society within its borders. Celebrating traditional and national pride through ceremonies and events has its place, yet the balance tips when these initiatives overshadow the essential needs of the people. For Ethiopia to thrive, the government should engage in an approach that equates national pride with practical developments that address the specific requirements of the populace. By directing resources toward enhancing living standards , Ethiopia can maintain its illustrious image while simultaneously empowering its people. Such an alignment of priorities will foster stability and catalyze growth, ensuring Ethiopia’s enduring prosperity. In conclusion, the future needs of Ethiopia hinge not on fleeting symbolic acts but on concrete, strategic investments that propel the nation forward. By focusing on the economic and social welfare of its people, Ethiopia can forge a future of unparalleled growth and development.",

Msemaji wa shirika hilo, Mahmoud Bassal, ameripoti \"msururu wa mashambulizi makali ya Israeli baada ya usiku wa manane na alfajiri ya leo (Jumapili) katika maeneo tofauti ya Ukanda wa Gaza.\" Takriban Wapalestina 22 wameuawa na 100 kujeruhiwa \"katika shambulio kwenye mahema ya watu waliotoroka makazi yao katika eneo la Al-Mawassi\" huko Khan Younes (kusini), Mahmoud Bassal amesema. Huko Jabalia (kaskazini), takriban watu saba wameuawa katika shambulio ambalo limepiga nyumba yao, kulingana na Mahmoud Bassal. Tangu Machi 18, Israeli imezidisha mashambulizi yake katika eneo hilo kwa maandalizi ya mashambulizi ya ardhini yanayoitwa \"\"Gideon's Chariots.\" Jeshi la Israeli limetangaza siku ya Jumamosi \"upanuzi\" wa mashambulizi yake huko Gaza kwa \"mashambulio makubwa\" na kutumwa kwa vikosi \"kudhibiti maeneo\" ya jimbo hilo. Kwa mujibu wa Gazeti la Sunday Times, mpango wa kijeshi wa Israel ni kulikata Ukanda wa Gaza katika sehemu kadhaa. Kwa mujibu wa Gazeti la Sunday Times, Israel itagawanya Ukanda wa Gaza katika sehemu kadhaa. Wito wa kusitisha mapigano unaongezeka, lakini mazungumzo huko Doha yanaonekana kukwama. Hakujawa na mafanikio katika mazungumzo yanayofanyika katika mji mkuu wa Qatar , anaripoti mwandishi wetu mjini Jerusalem, Michel Paul. Mazungumzo ya Doha, matumaini kidogo Huu sio wakati wa kuwa na matumaini, lakini, muhimu zaidi, ujumbe wa Israeli umesalia Doha. Haya ni matokeo ya moja kwa moja ya shinikizo lililotolewa na Marekani , anasisitiza Michel Paul. Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje wa Marekani Marco Rubio alizungumza kwa njia ya simu na Waziri Mkuu wa Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu Jumamosi jioni. Mawasiliano kati ya watu hao wawili yanafanyika karibu kila siku... Katika hatua hii, pande zote mbili, Israeli na Hamas , zimekubali kufanya mazungumzo bila masharti. Kwa maneno mengine, Hamas inakubali kujadili mpango uliowasilishwa na Steve Witkoff (miezi miwili ya kusitisha mapigano na kuachiliwa kwa mateka 10), na Waisraeli kwa upande wao wako tayari kujadili kumalizika kwa vita. Lakini ukweli ni kwamba kila upande unashikilia msimamo wake. Israeli inasema inataka tu kukubali mabadiliko madogo, yasiyo ya msingi. Jambo jipya pekee ni kwamba Marekani itakubali kuwa mdhamini wa Hamas kwa utekelezaji wa makubaliano yoyote yatakayofikiwa.",

Wiki hii, Serikali imetangaza rasmi uwekezaji wake katika muungano unaohusika na majaribio ya mradi huo, ulioko Sahofika, katikati mwa nchi, kwenye Mto Onive. Hatua kubwa ya mageuzi, baada ya zaidi ya miaka sita ya kuchelewa. Pamoja na 85% ya wakazi ambao hawana umeme, ujenzi wa mtambo huu wa kuzalisha umeme unaweza kukidhi kwa kiasi mahitaji makubwa ya nishati nchini.",
      • "content": "Muundo wa umiliki wa mradi wa Sahofika hatimaye umeanzishwa. Kwa kununua 49% ya hisa kupitia kampuni ya Malagasy Sovereign Fund SA, serikali ya Madagascar wiki hii imekuwa mbia wa tatu kujiunga na muungano wa Neho, pamoja na Themis na Eranove, waendelezaji wawili wa Afrika waliobobea katika miradi ya nishati barani Afrika . Kujiunga kwa Madagascar katika umiliki wa hisa kunapaswa kuwezesha muungano kupata mikopo kwa viwango vya upendeleo. Kwa maana hii sasa ndio kiini cha vita. Inakadiriwa kuwa euro bilioni moja, mradi unahusisha ujenzi wa bwawa la kuzalisha umeme, kiwanda cha uzalishaji, kilomita 60 za barabara ya kuingia, njia ya maji ya kilomita 4 na milingoti miwili mikubwa. Miundombinu mingi sana iyohitaji usaidizi mkubwa wa kifedha. \"Hatuanzii kutoka mwanzo, mbali nayo,\" kinafichua chanzo kilicho karibu na kesi hiyo. Hakika, kabla ya janga la Covid-19, karibu wawekezaji kumi na tano walikuwa tayari wameonyesha nia yao. Leo, ni kwa Benki ya Maendeleo ya Afrika - inayosimamia mpango wa kifedha - na muungano wa Neho kuwashawishi kjihumiza tena. Jirama, mteja wa kimkakati na dhaifu Jirama, kampuni ya umma ya maji na umeme ya Madagascar, itakuwa mnunuzi wa kipekee wa nishati inayozalishwa na Sahofika. Kwa sasa katika matatizo makubwa ya kifedha, inaweza hata hivyo kufaidika kutokana na bei ya ununuzi chini ya viwango vya sasa: chini ya senti 10 za euro kwa kilowati saa, ikilinganishwa na karibu senti 30 leo. Matarajio ambayo yanaweza kusaidia kurweka sawa akaunti za kampuni. Ili kuwahakikishia wawekezaji, Benki ya Maendeleo ya Afrika imekubali kuwa mdhamini endapo Jirama itakosa kulipa malipo yake. Ahadi muhimu ambayo inapaswa kuwahakikishia wawekezaji. Wakati huo huo, mwito wa zabuni za ujenzi wa bwawa hilo ulifungwa wiki hii. Kampuni tatu ziko mbioni: moja ya Kichina, moja ya Kituruki na moja ya Ureno. Mazungumzo yataanza katika wiki zijazo, huku uamuzi ukitarajiwa mwishoni mwa mwaka. Nyuma ya matukio, wale wanaohusika katika mradi huo wanatarajia kuanza kwa ufanisi wa kazi katika nusu ya pili ya mwaka 2026 - mradi ujenzi wa barabara ya kufikia, ambapo ilianza hivi karibuni, inaendelea bila mtengano.",

      • "description": "Kwa wiki kadhaa sasa, mkuu wa nchi wa Cameroon amekuwa akijieleza kila siku kupitia mitandao ya kijamii ya X na Facebook, kwa Kifaransa na Kiingereza, juu ya masuala mbalimbali ya maslahi ya kitaifa.\" Mabadiliko haya katika mkakati wake wa mawasiliano hayahusiani na uchaguzi wa urais wa Oktoba mwaka huu.",
      • "content": "Kutoka kwa mwandishi wetu wa Yaoundé, \"Pamoja, lazima tuendelee kujenga jamii yenye afya nzuri inayoundwa na binadamu wanaofurahiya kuwa pamoja, badala ya kujiona kama mbwa mwitu kwa kila mmoja.\" Ujumbe uliotiwa saini na Paul Biya , kwenye mtandao wa kijamii wa X (zamani ikiitwa twitter), Mei 12, 2025. Siku chache mapema, aalisema, kupitia mtandao huo wa kijamii: \"Kutengana sio mradi. Enzi zetu za zamani, enzi zetu za sasa na za baadaye zinaimba kwaya ya umoja. Na tena: \"Tumeungana na tutakuwa na umoja zaidi. Tukiwa kitu kimoja, tunaheshimika na tunaaminika katika ngazi ya kimataifa. Kukijigawa makundi kwa makundi hatutafikia hatua hiyo. Ni wazi: wakati Cameroon inapokaribia kuadhimisha \"siku ya kitaifa\" mnamo Mei 20, Rais wa Jamhuri anazungumza juu ya \"umoja wa kitaifa\", suala nyeti, wakati nchi inakabiliwa na kuenea kwa matamshi ya chuki, na imekuwa ikikabiliwa na mzozo wa usalama tangu mwisho wa mwaka 2016, katika maeneo yanayozungumza Kiingereza ya Kaskazini-Magharibi ambapo wanaharakati wanaotaka kujitenga kwa majimbo yao, licha ya kudhoofishwa na vikosi vya ulinzi na usalama, hawajaacha kabisa dhamira yao. Hata zaidi ya wito huu wa umoja ambao Wacameroon wamezoea, rais Paul Biya ameendeleza uhamasishaji kupitia mitandao ya kijamii. Anajulikana kwa kutoonekaka kwake kwenye vyombo vya habari, tofauti na mkewe Chantal Biya ambaye amekuwa akijihusisha na shughuli za kihisani kwa miaka mingi, Paul Biya alikuwa na maneno haya mwaka wa 2007: \"Me wangu anafanya shughuli za kijamii. Yeye ni wa kisasa zaidi kuliko mimi.\" \"Uhalisia wa kisiasa\" Wakati mwingine, mila zingine. Tangu Aprili 1, 2025, ni vigumu siku moja kupita bila rais wa Cameroon kujieleza kwenye mitandao ya kijamii ya X, Facebook, baada ya kuwazoea wananchi wake kutuma ujumbe mfupi (SMS) ambapo kupitia ujumbe huo aliwasilisha heshima zake kwao katika hali mbalimbali. Ingawa bado hajatangaza rasmi kugombea uchaguzi wa urais uliopangwa kufanyika mwezi Oktoba mwaka huu, matumizi yake ya mitandao ya kijamii, na hasa X, hayajawaacha wataalam kutojali. \"Madaktari bingwa wa rais wa Cameroon wamechagua kutumia mtandao huu wa kijamii katika awamu ya mawasiliano ya kisiasa inayojulikana kama priming kuanzisha mchakato wa kumtangaza mgombea kwa kuwataarisha raia kiikili, kuhusu utu wake, programu yake au sehemu ya programu yake katika akili za watazamaji wa taasisi,\" anachambua Thomas Atenga, profesa katika Idara ya Mawasiliano katika Chuo Kikuu cha Douala. \"Rais Biya anajua kwamba kumekuwa na mabadiliko ya wapiga kura, hasa vijana, kutoka vyombo vya habari vya jadi hadi vya elektroniki. \"Uhalisia wa kisiasa unaelekeza kwamba kiongozi yeyote anayetaka kuwa mwerevu katika masuala ya mawasiliano anapaswa kutumia huduma za mitandao ya kijamii ya mtandaoni,\" anaeleza msomi huyu, mwalimu wa mawasiliano katika chuo kikuu cha serikali. Pia akiangazia uzingatiaji wa vijana, mwanasayansi wa siasa Abaya Manasse wa Chuo Kikuu cha Yaoundé II-Soa, anafafanua kwa njia yake mwenyewe, shughuli ya rais Biya kwenye mitandao ya kijamii: \"Machapisho ya Rais wa Jamhuri kwenye mitandao ya kijamii hufanya iwezekanavyo kufuata mara kwa mara mageuzi ya maoni ya washirika ili kukabiliana na mabadiliko yao na kujionyesha kuwa karibu na vijana. Mfuasi wa msemo mzuri wa kusema “kwa kuzungumza na watu lazima ufanane nao”, ataendelea kutumia majukwaa ya kidijitali, changamoto ikiwa ni kufanikiwa kujenga eneo la mawasiliano linalodhibitiwa kwa nia ya kuashiria njia ya tangazo jipya la kugombea uchaguzi ujao. Kwa vyovyote vile, hali ya kidijitali ya mawasiliano ya rBiya inatokea katika nchi ambayo mwaka 2024 ilikuwa na watumiaji wa intaneti milioni 13.73, au 46% ya jumla ya watu wote. Mwanzoni mwa mwaka 2025, kulikuwa na watumiaji milioni 5.45 wa mitandao ya kijamii wanaowakilisha 18.25% ya watu, ikiwa ni pamoja na idadi ya 0.6% wanaotumia mtandao wa kijamii wa X.",

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Peninsula)AFP Kathmandu: British climber Kenton Cool successfully climbed Mount Everest for the nineteenth time on Sunday, extending his own record for the most summits of the world's highest mountain by a non-Nepali. More than 50 climbers have reached the summit since the spring climbing season began this month, taking advantage of a brief spell of good weather and typically calmer winds. Mountain guide Cool, 51, first climbed Everest in 2004 and has since had an expedition almost every year taking clients up the world's highest peak. \"Kenton summited Everest for the 19th time at 11am Nepalese time (0515 GMT) on Sunday,\" a post on his Instagram account said. His 15th summit in 2021 tied him with American Dave Hahn for the most summits by a non-Nepali climber, and his summit the following year gave him a solo title. Cool was once told he would not walk unaided again after a rock-climbing accident in 1996 that broke both his heel bones. He told AFP in a 2022 interview after his 16th ascent that his Everest record was \"not that amazing\" in the context of Nepali climbers' achievements. \"I'm really surprised by the interest... considering that so many of the Sherpas have so many more ascents,\" he said then. Nepali climber Kami Rita Sherpa, 55, is also attempting to break his own world record for the most Everest summits with his 31st climb. Cool's latest summit comes after at least two people - a Filipino and an Indian climber - died on Mount Everest this week. Nepal has issued 458 permits to mountaineers this season and a city of tents hosting foreign climbers and support staff has built up at the foot of Everest. Most Everest hopefuls are escorted by a Nepali guide, meaning more than 900 climbers will tread the path to the summit this season. Nepal is home to eight of the world's 10 highest peaks and welcomes hundreds of adventurers each spring. A climbing boom has made mountaineering a lucrative business since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa made the first ascent in 1953. Last year more than 800 climbers made it to the peak of Everest, including 74 from the northern Tibet side.
