By Lincoln G. Peters Guinea, June 12, 2026 – The recent visit of embattled Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Y.

…as Tikoe substation contract award is questioned Moorosi Tsiane CONTROVERSIAL Ministry of Energy Principal Secretary, Tankiso Phapano, has once again found himself at the centre of a major procurement controversy following the awarding of a M55 million contract to upgrade the Ha-Tikoe Substation.

Ha Belo works are yet to be completed. The Ha-Tikoe project seeks to increase the substation’s capacity from...

They survive as little more than names in the royal grants that endowed a sultan’s tomb. Now, reading the seventeenth-century account of François Pyrard de Laval – the Frenchman shipwrecked at the court of King Kalaafaan – Nazim Sattar reconstructs the king’s queens: the high-born chief queen taken by force, the child pulled from a wreck at Guraidhoo, and the young woman seized barely three months before the disaster of 1607.
