Demand has grown to the point that even wealthy North Koreans who previously considered electric bikes beneath them are now buying them. A source in North Hamgyong province told Daily NK on Thursday that a range of electric bicycles and motorcycles had recently been imported from China through the Hoeryong city customs point and were being wholesaled to other parts of the country. Demand for both types of vehicle in Hoeryong and Chongjin had grown so sharply that traders who had not previously dealt in these products were entering the import business, intensifying competition.

O Governo angolano (do MPLA há 50 anos) anunciou que todas as 21 províncias do país estão a emitir localmente o Bilhete de Identidade (BI) e nas zonas recônditas o documento será emitido por uma impressora móvel, no âmbito do registo eleitoral. Fome com BI é outra categoria… De acordo com o ministro da Justiça e dos Direitos Humanos de Angola, Marcy Lopes, ao fim de 50 anos o Governo continua a desenvolver acções para a universalização do BI para os cidadãos angolanos em Angola e no exterior, por ser um documento essencial para o exercício da cidadania.

Le secrétaire général des Nations Unies, Antonio Guterres Une visite annoncée comme historique, mais qui ne changera absolument rien  Le secrétaire général des Nations Unies, Antonio Guterres, est arrivé en Haïti sous les projecteurs des médias internationaux, escorté par le cérémonial diplomatique habituel et accompagné de la rhétorique compassionnelle qui accompagne traditionnellement les visites des grands dignitaires de la communauté internationale. À l’entendre, l’heure est à la solidarité. À l’écouter, le monde est préoccupé. À le voir, l’ONU est mobilisée. Pourtant, derrière les sourires diplomatiques, les poignées de main officielles et les déclarations soigneusement calibrées, une vérité demeure implacable : cette visite ne changera rien à la réalité quotidienne des Haïtiens. Les gangs ne déposeront pas leurs armes. Les déplacés ne retourneront pas chez eux. Les kidnappings ne cesseront pas. Les institutions ne retrouveront pas miraculeusement leur crédibilité. Le peuple haïtien ne mangera pas davantage demain qu’hier. La visite de...

The Healthier Nation Initiative (HNI), in collaboration with Ross University, brought free blood pressure and health screenings to teachers and staff at Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary School, highlighting the importance of caring for the people responsible for educating Barbados’ future generations. The health outreach took place at the St Joseph campus and focused primarily on faculty members, who HNI representatives said often put the needs of students ahead of their own wellbeing. Representative of HNI Foundation Akealii Hall said while much attention is placed on students, educators also need support. “The children are our future and we need to make sure that they’re healthy,” Hall said. “And then two, the people that are taking care of our future need to be taken care of as well.” Principal of the Grantley Adams Memorial School Major Andrew Skeete getting his blood pressure checked.

El prosecretario de la Presidencia, Jorge Díaz, dijo que el gobierno enfrenta un reto importante tras la última encuesta de la consultora Cifra, que arrojó una fuerte desaprobación a la gestión del presidente Yamandú Orsi. Según el sondeo, solo el 20% aprueba la gestión del mandatario, mientras que el 65% la desaprueba. Ante estos números, Díaz señaló “tenemos un desafío muy importante, que es revertir esta situación”. “Es una foto de la realidad en el momento actual. Si uno se pelea con la realidad, va a ganar la realidad. Entonces lo que hay que hacer es operar sobre esa realidad para transformarla”, afirmó en rueda de prensa. Díaz destacó que el gobierno ha realizado muchas acciones positivas que no logran posicionarse en el debate público. Citó datos económicos favorables del primer trimestre como el crecimiento del 0,8% intertrimestral y 0,9% interanual, aumento del empleo, baja del desempleo, suba del salario...
