EPL: Man United Star Breaks Silence on Ten Hag’s Potential Dismissal Prince Jean Oct 7, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Manchester United's Jonny Evans Addresses Erik ten Hag Sack Rumours, Admits Impact on Players. Credit:gettyimages The sustained criticism of Erik ten Hag has reached the inner sanctum of Manchester United’s players as well, says defender Jonny Evans. Interestingly, regardless of the factors that might add pressure such as the rumour-mongering, Evans is still able to concentrate on producing the right results on the field. The 35-year-old believes that regardless of the other factors that come into play, he has one aim at the end of the day; to give it his all on the pitch. This, however, was not the best game for the hitherto rejected players’ union who berated Everton’s form due to the players’ mentality quite hysterically against Aston Villa last Sunday in the English Premier League. Speaking of the emotions that the sacking or potential sacking of the coach generally brings to the players, Evans then said: “ It was very important to give a response on the attitude of the team. Everybody put their best efforts and that is something we can be happy about.” On monitoring the current saga about Ten Hag , Evans said: “Yes, it does affect the players. It is on our heads too. But yes personally with the experience I have gained over the years, I tend to try and focus on being ready and competing for the team.’ | Sports Business Mastering the Game: A Career in Sports Management Explained Kenyan Federation Elections Sammy Owino Pledges to Eradicate Corruption in Kenyan Football English Premier League Amorim Calls for Bravery as Manchester United Prepares to Face Arsenal AFCON Build_Ups Uganda Allocates Shs350 Billion for CHAN 2025 Preparations Related Posts Mastering the Game: A Career in Sports Management Explained | Sports Business .

Ethiopian Airlines to Build Africa's Largest Airport by 2029 Ayize claire Aug 10, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Ethiopian Cargo aircraft flying high above the clouds, featuring the Ethiopian Airlines branding on the side of the plane Ethiopian Airlines has signed a landmark agreement for the design of Africa's largest airport, a new four-runway facility set to be completed by 2029. The airport, located near Bishoftu, approximately 45 kilometers (28 miles) from Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, is poised to become a major aviation hub with the capacity to handle 100 million passengers annually and parking space for 270 aircraft. Mesfin Tasew, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, announced the deal during a press conference, highlighting the significance of the project for the region and the continent. Dubai-based engineering and consulting firm Sidara has been tasked with designing the massive infrastructure. Tariq Al Qanni, Sidara's director of operations, confirmed the company's involvement in this ambitious project. The airport project, initially announced in 2018, comes as Ethiopia prepares for the growing demand in air travel. The existing Bole Addis Ababa International Airport, the current main hub for Ethiopian Airlines, is nearing its capacity, which stands at 25 million passengers per year. With this new airport, Ethiopian Airlines aims to solidify its position as Africa's leading airline. The project's first phase is expected to cost at least $6 billion, with financing secured through loans. Mesfin indicated that several companies have already expressed interest in contributing to the funding. The new airport will be crucial for accommodating the airline's growing passenger numbers, which reached 17 million in the 2023/2024 financial year, with expectations to rise to 20 million in the current financial year starting in July. This development marks a significant milestone in Africa's aviation industry, positioning Ethiopia as a key player in the global aviation sector and setting the stage for enhanced connectivity across the continent.

Somalia-Ethiopia Talks in Turkey Show Progress Despite Lack of Final Agreement Mbeki edmond Aug 13, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud (left) and Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed shake hands during a diplomatic meeting A second round of Turkish-mediated talks between Somalia and Ethiopia over a controversial port deal signed by Addis Ababa with Somaliland concluded without a final agreement on Tuesday, but both sides reported progress. The negotiations, held in Ankara, have been an attempt to mend strained relations between the East African neighbors. Tensions escalated in January after Ethiopia agreed to lease 20 kilometers (12 miles) of coastline from Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, in exchange for recognizing its independence. Somalia, which considers Somaliland part of its territory, declared the deal illegal, prompting Mogadishu to expel the Ethiopian ambassador and threaten the expulsion of thousands of Ethiopian troops stationed in Somalia to assist in the fight against Islamist insurgents. During the talks in Ankara, the Ethiopian and Somali foreign ministers did not meet directly. Instead, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan facilitated the discussions by shuttling between the two delegations. Fidan expressed optimism, noting that the scope of the discussions had broadened significantly since the first round of talks. "There is now convergence on some major principles," he said, describing this as "notable progress." Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Moallim Fiqi Ahmed echoed this sentiment, affirming that progress had been made. He emphasized that Somalia is seeking a resolution consistent with international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. A third round of talks is scheduled to begin on September 17, with the goal of achieving a sustainable and viable agreement that could resolve the diplomatic rift between the two countries.

Antha defended his role, stating his involvement was purely professional, while blaming the club’s struggles on others, including journalist Sam Karenzi. He maintained that he is not biased towards any specific team and claimed to focus on his work in sports management. Response from Isibo Radio Isibo Radio responded strongly to Antha's remarks, accusing him of creating divisions within several clubs, including Police FC and Rayon Sports. They called for accountability and highlighted allegations of mismanagement associated with his name. Karenzi's Defense Journalist Sam Karenzi refuted Antha's claims, stating that APR FC's player acquisitions were handled by a team. He urged transparency and challenged those making allegations to provide evidence.

Some still support the outgoing management, while others focus on the team’s future.

REG BBC Shocks Fans: Skipping East Africa Basketball Champions Cup Prince Jean Nov 23, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link REG BBC opts out of the East Africa Basketball Champions Cup to focus on their women’s team competing in the Africa Women’s Basketball League. REG BBC has announced that it will not participate in the new "East Africa Basketball Champions Cup" set to take place in December 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya. This tournament replaces the traditional Zone V competition to give teams that do not participate in the Basketball Africa League (BAL) more chances to compete. Last year, Rwanda Basketball Federation (FERWABA) introduced the Rwanda Cup to select a team to represent the country in this tournament. APR BBC won the inaugural Rwanda Cup but cannot play in the East Africa Basketball Champions Cup because they also won the national league, earning them a spot in BAL. As a result, REG BBC, which lost to APR BBC in the final, was expected to represent Rwanda. However, REG's Sports Coordinator, Geoffrey Zawadi, told IGIHE that the team would not attend because their focus is on supporting their women’s team, which will compete in the Africa Women’s Basketball League in December 2024. He said, "No, we will not participate because we are focusing on the women’s team, which will compete in AfroBasket soon." IGIHE learned that REG BBC has not yet officially informed FERWABA about this decision. The exact dates for the tournament have not been announced, but it is confirmed to take place in December 2024 in Kenya.
