A Letter to the citizens of Botswana: Forging a path to resilience and prosperity

Today, our beloved nation stands at a crossroads, one of immense opportunity and responsibility. With the dawn of a new era under the leadership of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) government, we find ourselves entrusted with the collective duty to shape Botswana’s future. While we celebrate the peaceful transition of leadership, we must also confront the challenges that lie ahead—stretched public finances, an undiversified economy, and over-reliance on state-provided services such as free education and healthcare.

NATO and Ukraine will hold talks in Brussels next week following Russia’s test-firing of an experimental hypersonic intermediate-range missile, diplomats said Friday. Ambassadors from NATO and Ukraine will convene on Tuesday in the NATO-Ukraine Council to address the missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, officials told AFP. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that the new-generation missile, which Moscow tested in the strike, is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. He described the attack as a response to Ukraine’s use of U.S. and U.K.-supplied long-range weapons against targets inside Russian territory. Putin also issued a warning to Western nations, claiming Russia is “entitled” to target military facilities in countries that allow Ukraine to use their weapons against Russia. news Zelensky Urges Strong Global Response to Russian Hypersonic Missile Strike Read more A NATO spokesperson dismissed the significance of the missile test, stating: “Deploying this capability will neither change...

Tous les enseignants de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, de même que le personnel administratif et technique des écoles, sont appelés à se croiser les bras mardi pour une journée de grève, la première depuis l’installation de la nouvelle majorité MR-Engagés en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles en juillet dernier. Plusieurs piquets filtrants sont annoncés devant différents établissements, ainsi que la distribution de tracts dans plusieurs centre-villes de Wallonie. Si les cours seront à coup sûr perturbés par cette grève, rappelons toutefois que les écoles sont tenues d’accueillir les enfants en garderie ce jour-là. Réunis en front commun, les syndicats entendent dénoncer par cette action les économies que la nouvelle majorité va, selon eux, imposer à l’enseignement. Ce n’est d’ailleurs sans doute pas une coïncidence, cette grève intervient au moment où le parlement de la FWB examinera le projet de budget pour 2025. Les organisations syndicales redoutent...

Am 23. und 24. November kann noch einmal die Herbstausstellung besichtigt werden. Neu sind auch ein Rummelplatz und ein Spielplatz. Und es gibt einen ICE. Chemnitz. In der Realität fährt derzeit kein ICE Chemnitz an. Beim Modelleisenbahnclub Chemnitz-Rottluff gibt es diesen Fernbahnanschluss. Doch der Besucher der Herbstschau in der Blankenauer Straße 61, die am Wochenende 23. und 24. November noch einmal von 10 bis 18 Uhr geöffnet ist, bekommt noch viel mehr zu sehen: Denn die Gemeinschaftsanlage wird ständig erweitert. Das Bauteam schafft Szenen und Gebäude, die in Chemnitz oder im Umland zu finden sind. So zum Beispiel die Gebäude von der Rudolf-Krahl-Straße, entstanden von 1924 bis Ende 1930er. Oder ein Wohnblock Typ Q6 aus den 1960er Jahren. Auch das Kaufhaus Schocken ist auf der Anlage zu finden. Neu sind in diesem Jahr ein großer Rummelplatz, ein Spielplatz im Küchwald und erste Lkw, die ihre Runden drehen. Der Eintritt kostet...

EX-BOXER Carl Froch has stunningly claimed the moon landing was a HOAX in a bizarre conspiracy theory-filled interview. Conspiracy theorists have long debated the legitimacy of NASA‘s Apollo 11 mission, in which Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to set foot on the moon in 1969. 7 Man landed on the moon in 1969 thanks to the Apollo 11 missionCredit: ALAMY 7 Conspiracy theorists, however, have doubted the legitimacy of the landing – despite there being a further six successful missionsCredit: REX 7 And former champion Carl Froch has revealed he’s among the moon landing doubtersCredit: GETTY And outspoken former WBC super-middleweight champ Froch is among the doubters, telling the Action Network: “It’s very interesting that we haven’t been to the moon since and we can’t get there. “Neil Armstrong was asked by somebody to place his hand on the Holy Bible and Neil Armstrong is a...

UAE steps in amid Saudi blocking of transition commitment Saudi Arabia has been playing a strong blocking role throughout Cop29 – but most of the complaints of the country’s behaviour have had to be made behind closed doors by negotiators in private, writes Fiona Harvey, Guardian climate editor. The clearest issue in which the petrostate has been an obstruction is over the so called UAE consensus. That’s the name for the outcome of Cop28 last year in Dubai, when nations agreed for the first time to “transition away from fossil fuels”. Saudi Arabia’s minister of energy, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud, during a plenary session at Cop29. Photograph: Rafiq Maqbool/AP Saudi has been determined to avoid a reaffirmation of that resolution, hoping to bury it at this Cop so that future Cops will find it difficult to revive. Now the UAE has stepped in to defend its achievement last...

Actualizado Viernes, 22 noviembre 2024 – 11:27 El juez instructor del caso Banco Popular en la Audiencia Nacional, José Luis Calama, ha dictado el auto de apertura de juicio oral por el que envía a juicio al ex presidente de la entidad Ángel Ron, a otros 10 directivos del banco, a PricewaterhouseCoopers, así como a dos auditores de esta firma por la ampliación de capital de 2016 a la que los inversores acudieron, según el magistrado, engañados puesto que los estados financieros de ese año y de 2015 no reflejaban la imagen fiel del balance ni del patrimonio. El auto de apertura de juicio oral, que señala a la Sala Penal como la encargada del enjuiciamiento, recoge los escritos de calificación de las catorce acusaciones que tipifican los hechos como delitos de falsedad contable y delito continuado de estafa de inversores.
