  • Jacob Zuma's Eligibility for South Africa's Election Tested in Constitutional Court

    Jacob Zuma's Eligibility for South Africa's Election Tested in Constitutional Court Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Mbeki edmond May 11, 2024 ​ Former President Jacob Zuma JOHANNESBURG, May 10 – The Constitutional Court of South Africa convened today to deliberate on the eligibility of former President Jacob Zuma to run for parliament in the upcoming national elections on May 29. This pivotal legal battle could shape the political landscape amid forecasts of shifting power dynamics. Jacob Zuma, 82, a prominent figure compelled to resign in 2018 and sentenced to imprisonment in 2021, has been a key figure in the new political party, uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK). His candidacy is central to MK's influence, particularly in his stronghold of KwaZulu Natal. Polls indicate that the African National Congress (ANC), in power for three decades, might lose its majority, with MK poised as a significant contender. The controversy originated from a March ruling by the electoral commission disqualifying Zuma based on constitutional grounds that bar individuals sentenced to over 12 months from parliamentary seats. However, a subsequent court ruling in April challenged this decision, citing that the disqualification should not apply to those who have not had the opportunity to appeal their sentences, as in Zuma's case. The appeal by the electoral commission to the highest court brings Zuma back into the spotlight, potentially stirring political and security tensions across the nation.

  • Aftermath of Deadly Protests: Kenyan President Ruto and IMF Chief Discuss Policy Flexibility

    Aftermath of Deadly Protests: Kenyan President Ruto and IMF Chief Discuss Policy Flexibility Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Ayize claire Jul 4, 2024 Kenyan President William Ruto in discussion with IMF Chief Kristalina Georgieva 01/09/2023 In the wake of deadly protests, Kenyan President William Ruto had a phone conversation with International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Kristalina Georgieva, according to diplomatic sources. The protests were triggered by Ruto's withdrawal of $2.7 billion in proposed tax hikes, a central component of policy reforms tied to a $3.6 billion IMF lending program. The finance bill's withdrawal is expected to impact Kenya's ability to meet key targets within the IMF program. However, Kenya's recent ability to repay a $2 billion bond by issuing a new seven-year bond has lessened the immediate need for IMF cash. The IMF has faced significant criticism from young Kenyan protesters, who blame it for the proposed tax increases. While details of the Ruto-Georgieva call remain undisclosed, sources indicate that major donors agree on the necessity for the IMF to show flexibility regarding program targets, as Kenya seeks to address the financial gap created by the bill's withdrawal. One source emphasized the importance of the Kenyan government demonstrating a commitment to reducing wasteful spending, cracking down on corruption, and increasing accountability in exchange for the IMF's flexibility. In early June, the IMF reached a staff-level agreement with Kenya on a policy package needed to complete the lending program's seventh review. This review is crucial for unlocking a disbursement of several hundred million dollars, pending approval from the IMF's Executive Board. "We remain deeply concerned by the recent tragic events in Kenya and maintain close, ongoing, and constructive dialogue with the Kenyan authorities," an IMF spokesperson stated. Ruto's office has not responded to requests for comments. Following the bill's shelving , Ruto has promised austerity measures in a supplemental budget, while also indicating the necessity for increased borrowing in the 2024/25 fiscal year. An IMF spokesperson reiterated the fund's commitment to helping Kenya overcome its economic challenges and improve the well-being of its people. Pavel Mamai, managing partner and portfolio manager at Promeritum Investment Management, believes that while IMF support will continue, disbursements are likely to resume towards the end of the year. "The IMF will basically ask Kenya to regroup and present a new reform plan," Mamai said. Since mid-June, at least 39 people have died in protests, according to a government-funded human rights organization. Although anti-government demonstrations have persisted, turnout has decreased since the withdrawal of the bill.

  • Kagame's quest for one sided genocide narrative

    Kagame's quest for one sided genocide narrative Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Griffith Sarah Apr 14, 2024 ​ Rwandan President Paul Kagame at U.S-Africa leader's summit Rwandan President Paul Kagame voiced concerns about the U.S. not explicitly recognizing the 1994 Rwandan genocide as primarily targeting Tutsis. During commemorations marking the genocide's 30th anniversary, Kagame highlighted discussions with former U.S. President Bill Clinton and reacted to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s failure to specify the victims in a recent statement. President Kagame emphasized the importance of acknowledging the Tutsi victims during the genocide, which claimed about 800,000 lives. He stressed that such recognition is crucial to respecting the memory of the victims and addressing historical inaccuracies. The U.S. President Joe Biden, however, did refer to the victims appropriately in his statement, acknowledging the overwhelming majority of Tutsis, along with Hutus and Twa, who suffered in the genocide. This year's commemoration comes amid Kagame’s critique of Western inaction during the genocide and ongoing tensions regarding Rwanda's role in neighboring Congo. Kagame maintains that Rwandan forces act to prevent further regional instability, countering accusations of supporting rebel groups in Congo. As Rwanda continues to strive for reconciliation and national unity, the conversation around the commemoration of the genocide remains a poignant issue, reflecting on both past atrocities and ongoing efforts towards healing and justice.

  • Elephant Kills American Tourist in Zambia

    Elephant Kills American Tourist in Zambia Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Ayize claire Jun 22, 2024 An elephant in the wild in Zambia A US tourist from New Mexico was killed by an elephant after it attacked her vehicle during a safari drive in Zambia on Wednesday. The animal pulled Juliana Gle Tourneau, 64, out of the vehicle and trampled her, officials reported. Ms. Tourneau was part of a group that had stopped near the Maramba Cultural Bridge in Livingstone due to traffic from an elephant herd when one of the animals attacked, according to a police official speaking to the Zambian national broadcaster ZNBC. This incident marks the second fatal elephant attack on a US tourist in Zambia this year. Earlier in March, Gail Mattson, a 79-year-old woman from Minnesota , was killed during a game drive in Zambia's Kafue National Park. In that incident, an elephant charged a truck, flipped it over, and killed Ms. Mattson while injuring five others. Rona Wells, Ms. Mattson's daughter, shared on Facebook that her mother died in a "tragic accident while on her dream adventure." A video of the March attack went viral, showing an elephant charging towards a vehicle. Though none of the vehicle's passengers are seen in the video, voices can be heard expressing alarm as the vehicle stops, presumably to stave off the elephant. The animal then hooks its tusk onto the vehicle, causing it to roll several times. Zambian authorities have urged tourists to exercise extreme caution while observing wildlife. Neighboring countries Zimbabwe and Botswana have also raised concerns about increasing elephant populations and have recorded deadly elephant attacks in recent years.
