A short time later, officers attempted to stop the vehicle on Highway 401 near Fraser Road in South Glengarry. According to police, the suspect avoided a spike belt deployed by officers, but subsequently struck a stationary police vehicle before entering the ditch.

The driver of the stolen vehicle remained in police custody Tuesday afternoon after being released from hospital, the release added, while two officers were also transported to hospital for assessment.

Eastbound lanes of Highway 401 were closed in the area while police investigated the collision, with detours in effect.

South Glengarry Township is about 100 kilometres east and south of Ottawa.

The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, has launched a $40.4 million appeal to address the deepening humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and its impact on neighbouring countries, particularly Burundi, where thousands are arriving daily in desperate conditions. As fighting escalates in eastern DRC, more than 40,000 Congolese refugees – primarily women and children – have crossed into Burundi since February, with over 9,000 arrivals recorded in a single day this week. Many are using makeshift boats to traverse the Rusizi River, a perilous crossing at the border shared by Burundi, DRC and Rwanda. “The escalating security situation in the DR Congo has been having a serious impact on the Burundi side. Over the past few weeks, we have observed a large number of Congolese who have been crossing into Burundi,” said Brigitte Mukanga-Eno, UNHCR’s Representative in Burundi, at a press briefing in Geneva. The situation is...

An organisation, ImPPPact Nigeria Alliance, says it has begun the generation of a Geographic Information System (GIS) database aimed at reclaiming abandoned mining sites in Plateau. The Managing Director, Mr. Olushola Ajayi, disclosed this during a courtesy visit to the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, on Monday in Abuja. Ajayi stated that the move was part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the ministry in 2023 to reclaim abandoned mining sites in Nigeria, with Plateau as the first beneficiary. He said that findings revealed that there is no available GIS data, crucial for providing accurate spatial and environmental information for effective planning and execution of reclamation efforts. He further explained that the data would aid in site identification and mapping, environmental assessment, and land use planning. “The project is in two phases, the fist data collation of the GIS data for the abandoned pits. The data...

L’une des décisions fortes des assises nationales pour la refondation est sans conteste, la demande de l’ouverture d’une enquête judiciaire pour connaître les circonstances de l’assassinat du président Baré. Ce vendredi 9 avril 1999, un chef nationaliste et patriote a été lâchement déchiqueté par sa garde présidentielle, sous le commandement de Daouda malam wanka. Les assassins et leurs complices dans une lâcheté absurde n’ont pas pu assumer les conséquences d’un tel acte odieux. Toute la classe politique de l’époque s’est coalisée pour empêcher l’ouverture d’une enquête indépendante afin de faire la lumière sur cette tragédie. La pire des cruautés a été l’inscription dans la constitution des clauses pour empêcher à jamais à la nation de connaître la vérité. N’ayons pas peur de le dire, à un degré où à un autre, la classe politique nigerienne est complice de ce crime crapuleux. Il faut se rappeler qu’à la veille de cet...

Partager vers les réseaux Avec un niveau d’endettement record de la première économie mondiale, les États-Unis d’Amérique (35 295 Md$ en 2024, soit 121% de son produit Intérieur Brut ou 34,6% de la dette publique mondiale), la question de la stabilité du système financier international se pose plus que jamais. Le monde pourrait assister à un nouveau Bretton Woods, mais cette fois, avec une révolution technologique et géopolitique sans précédent. L’or, symbole intemporel de valeur, pourrait revenir comme garantie, mais cette fois-ci intégré aux technologies de pointe comme la blockchain. Cette hybridation entre l’ancien et le nouveau mondes marquerait une rupture majeure dans l’histoire monétaire voire de l’histoire de l’humanité, où la confiance ne reposerait plus uniquement sur des promesses, mais sur des actifs tangibles et des systèmes décentralisés. Dans ce contexte, je prédis que la guerre monétaire entre le dollar et l’euro prendra une dimension stratégique cruciale. Ces deux...
