The Rise of the Hybrid Fighter and the Triumph of Organization The moral rupture that began in the late 1970s did not merely alter recruitment practices; it reshaped the very identity of the Eritrean fighter. This third part examines the rise of the hybrid combatant—the Gifufgadlai—and the organizational logic that ultimately replaced moral agency with obedience. It traces how this transformation cast a long shadow over independence and continues to shape Eritrea’s political imagination today. IV. The Hybrid Fighter: The Gifufagadlai Eritrean languages and history have no term for this new figure—a blend of volunteers and conscripts and the organizations transformed by their presence. He was not a soldier, not an ascari, not a shifta, and no longer strictly a tegadalai. The language of the past cannot capture the moral ambiguity of this type. If the tegadalai represented voluntary sacrifice and the shifta embodied individual autonomy, the coerced fighter (ztegefe)...

A marker delineating the border between China and North Korea (Wikimedia Commons) Private money-transfer brokers are reviving in North Korea after a period of suppression aimed at pushing people toward banks. The distrust toward banks that resulted from the crackdown is driving people back toward informal networks, a source in Ryanggang province said Thursday. Broker-arranged transfers connecting Hyesan residents with people sending or receiving money inland are picking up again, the source said. “For a while, the crackdown was so intense that people were very cautious about these deals,” the source said. “These days, more people are turning to private brokers again.” Such brokers have long facilitated trade between North Korea’s border areas and its interior, charging a fee to relay payments. Because they also handle foreign currency exchange, they have functioned as a pillar of the country’s informal financial network. North Korean authorities encouraged bank use and cracked down...

Fudbalski klub Mančester siti dogovorio je transfer marokanskog reprezentativca Ajuba Buadija iz Lila za 100 miliona evra, prenosi Bi-Bi-Si. Prema navodima britanskog medija, dva kluba su postigla konačan dogovor, a 18-godišnji vezista početkom naredne sedmice trebao bi doputovati u Mančester na ljekarske preglede, nakon čega će potpisati višegodišnji ugovor s aktuelnim prvakom Engleske. Buadi je član Lila od 2021. godine, a za prvi tim francuskog kluba upisao je 96 nastupa. Iako je prošao sve omladinske selekcije Francuske, od maja ove godine nastupa za A reprezentaciju Maroka. Mladi fudbaler bio je jedan od važnih igrača marokanske selekcije na ovogodišnjem Svjetskom prvenstvu u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, Kanadi i Meksiku, gdje je odigrao pet utakmica. Transfer vrijedan 100 miliona eura svrstava Buadija među najskuplje mlade igrače u svijetu fudbala, a u Mančester sitiju ga vide kao jednog od ključnih igrača za budućnost kluba. El Pais
