Twenty-one foreign workers who went on strike at a resort construction site in Bolidhuffaru are in Immigration detention. Their employer, Aima Construction, says it fired them for protesting. Police say the men went to the airport voluntarily; Immigration says they were handed over for disobeying police orders. The constitution guarantees every worker in the Maldives the right to strike. But a foreign worker’s permit is tied to their employer, so losing the job means losing the right to stay. “In practice, migrant workers cannot effectively exercise their right to stop work and to strike as protest,” says Transparency Maldives. https://maldivesindependent.com/society/for-foreign-workers-the-right-to-strike-ends-at-the-airport-2342 Facebook

Sierra Leone Telegraph: 03 November 2026: Speak Up Africa and the Ouagadougou Partnership Coordination Unit (OPCU) have opened applications for the third edition of the Africa Young Innovators for Health Award. This edition invites young Africans to propose solutions that use artificial intelligence effectively and responsibly to improve access to family planning. Applications are open until 6 November 2026 at 23:59 GMT. Across West and Central Africa young people face significant barriers to accessing quality family planning information and services, including misinformation, limited access to confidential and youth-friendly care, provider bias and restrictions linked to age or marital status. In the region, 80% of unintended pregnancies among adolescents aged 15–19 occur among those who are not using modern contraception (condoms, oral contraceptive pills, injectables, implants and intrauterine devices (IUDs). Against this backdrop, the Ouagadougou Partnership aims to help 13 million people access and use modern contraceptive methods by 2030. Achieving...

A digital identity is more than a username and password. It is the full collection of information that represents a person online, such as usernames, email addresses, banking credentials, online profiles, device details and other information linked to online activities. Because it grants access to valuable services and personal resources, it has become one of the most attractive targets for cybercriminals. Catherine Beukes Catherine Beukes, IT Security Specialist at Letshego Holdings Namibia, compares a digital identity to a physical identity document. Just as an ID card verifies who someone is in person, a digital identity verifies who they are online. If criminals gain access to key elements of that information, they can use it to impersonate a person, take over accounts, or commit fraud in that person’s name. Protecting a digital identity is therefore not a technical nicety, it is central to protecting privacy, financial security and personal trust. Strengthening...

13 Depuis le 25 juin 2026, le fisc dispose d’un nouvel outil pour récupérer une dette fiscale impayée : il peut désormais s’adresser directement à la plateforme crypto d’un contribuable pour obtenir le règlement, voire la vente forcée, de ses actifs numériques. Cette extension de la saisie administrative à tiers détenteur (SATD) aux crypto-actifs change la donne pour des millions de détenteurs de bitcoin, d’ether ou de stablecoins en France. Un outil fiscal classique étendu aux crypto-actifs La SATD existe depuis longtemps pour les comptes bancaires : elle permet au comptable public d’exiger d’un tiers — une banque, un employeur — qu’il lui verse directement les sommes qu’il détient pour le compte d’un débiteur. La loi n° 2026-534 du 25 juin 2026 relative à la lutte contre les fraudes sociales et fiscales élargit ce mécanisme aux prestataires de services sur crypto-actifs (PSCA), c’est-à-dire aux plateformes d’échange et courtiers agréés qui...

Alors que le climat politique est alourdi par le récent rejet de la Loi de finances rectificative (Lfr), l’Assemblée nationale s’apprête à vivre un tournant décisif. Les membres de la Commission des finances et du contrôle budgétaire sont convoqués ce jeudi 5 novembre 2026 pour entamer le marathon de l’examen de la Loi de finances initiale (Lfi). Entre audition ministérielle, épluchage des budgets des institutions publiques et examens sectoriels, cette étape cruciale dira si la majorité parlementaire et l’Exécutif optent pour l’épreuve de force ou la voie de l’apaisement budgétaire. L’heure de vérité budgétaire à l’Assemblée nationale ? Le thermomètre institutionnel ne redescend pas. Quelques jours après le séisme politique provoqué par le rejet de la Loi de finances rectificative (Lfr), le front budgétaire se déplace vers un terrain encore plus critique : l’examen de la Loi de finances initiale (Lfi) 2027. Selon la convocation officielle signée par le président Alphonse...

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has directed security agencies to immediately investigate the disruption of activities at the venue of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign rally in Lafia on Wednesday and ensure that everyone found responsible is brought to account. The governor gave the directive on Thursday during an expanded security meeting at the Government House, Lafia, following incidents at the rally and the reported obstruction of the convoy of Vice President Kashim Shettima during his visit to the Emir of Lafia. Sule described the incident as a serious matter, noting that the Vice President attended the rally on behalf of President Bola Tinubu. “The embarrassment was not to the state or the Presidential Campaign Council alone. It was an embarrassment to the Vice President on behalf of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. That is the reason why we cannot take it lightly,” he stated....

Play Replay Close highlight Stop listening ENGLISH MBABANE – Eswatini’s Neliswa ‘Tiger’ Dlamini, Thubelihle Mavuso, Yekisizwe Khumalo and Sambulo ‘Masoso’ Simelane stand on the verge of Zimbabwean PSL glory with Hardrock FC. Following a goalless draw on Wednesday afternoon between Kwakhe Thwala’s Scottland FC and Chicken Inn, top-of-the-table Hardrock now hold a commanding four-point lead with only two matches remaining in the Castle Premier Soccer League season. The mathematical advantage means Hardrock need just three points from their final two fixtures to seal a monumental league triumph. A victory would mark an extraordinary achievement for Hardrock, who secured promotion from Zimbabwe’s lower divisions only last season. Achieving back-to-back success by capturing the top-flight championship in their debut PSL campaign would write a fairy-tale chapter in Southern African football. The Eswatini quartet have been instrumental to Hardrock’s fairy-tale ascent since moving to Zimbabwe. Their seamless transition into top-flight football provided immediate...
