Mexico will make history this summer as the first country to host three World Cups, but the excitement over that record is not reflected among Mexican fans. Francisco Javier Ferreira remembers the two World Cups he attended in his home country in 1970 and 1986, but he will not be able to attend the third. The 70-year-old says the high cost of tickets for the 13 matches on Mexican soil, combined with the difficulty of getting a ticket and the limited number of games assigned to Mexico as the third host country, has dampened his excitement as a fan. “For Mexico’s economic reality, the only people who have the most means will be able to get in,” he said. Of the 104 matches in this year’s World Cup, four will be played in Monterrey, four in Guadalajara, and five at the newly renovated Banorte Stadium in Mexico City, including the...

À Djibouti, les Organisations de la Société Civile (OSC)/Organisations Non-Gouvernementales démontrent que le tissu associatif national est un acteur du développement à part entière, à condition de lui en donner les moyens. Face aux défis liés de l’accès à l’eau, du changement climatique et de la transition énergétique, la société civile djiboutienne n’est pas spectatrice. Elle agit. C’est le constat qui ressort d’une analyse conduite par le Forum des Associations et ONGs Djiboutiennes pour le Développement Durable (FAONG/DD) portant sur huit associations et ONG : l’Association des Femmes de Tadjourah (AFT), l’A.P.S.E.R.A.S, l’AJCD, l’Association Autisme Sport et Loisir, NADIF, l’ONG EVA, Souna Al Haya et Bender Djedid. Sur le terrain, ces organisations s’imposent comme des acteurs de proximité indispensables, apportant des réponses concrètes aux besoins des populations. L’ONG EVA a ainsi soutenu la construction de citernes et la réhabilitation de puits, tandis que l’Association des Femmes de Tadjourah a permis...

False eyelashes for sale on the Chinese online shopping site Pindududu. The products appear to undergo first-line processing in North Korea before being sent to China for packaging. (Screen capture from the Pindudou website) Wig and eyelash assembly work has taken off as a cottage industry in Chongjin, North Korea’s third-largest city, as intensifying market controls and rising inflation leave North Korean people with few other ways to earn income. “Wig and eyelash contract assembly has until now been carried out mainly in detention facilities and factory units, but since late last year, trading companies have been negotiating higher per-unit rates with Chinese partners and expanding the scale of their operations, so work is now flowing into ordinary private homes as well,” a source in North Hamgyong province told Daily NK on Thursday. The source described scenes now common across Chongjin: “These days, it has become a familiar sight to...
