Te Tuhi Kelly. As we are all aware, we will be celebrating 60 years of independence from our colonial masters New Zealand this year. This push by Prime Minister Mark Brown for a “symbolic representation of national pride and identity” through a separate Cook Islands passport has not been well thought out, writes Te Tuhi Kelly, leader of the Progressive Party. If he wants to leave a true legacy arising from those celebrations, then it needs to be a true legacy not built on symbolic gestures or vanity projects like the passport. A legacy is built on solving the hard, tangible issues that impact people’s lives today and for generations to come. A legacy that centres on addressing economic stability, debt recovery and long-term benefits would resonate deeply with Cook Islanders and solidify the Prime Minister’s place in history in a meaningful way. At a crucial point in our...

The outgoing administration of US President Joe Biden has imposed sanctions on the leaders of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday that RSF members and allied militias “have committed genocide” in Sudan. The paramilitary group has been locked in a brutal war with the Sudanese military, once its ally, since April 2023. What did the Biden administration say? The US sanctions announced by the Treasury Department, include RSF leader Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo (also known as Hemedti). The US State Department said the sanctions against Hemedti were “for his role in systematic atrocities committed against the Sudanese people.”  The sanctions also target several businesses based in the United Arab Emirates, one of them handles gold likely smuggled out of Sudan. The Arab country has faced repeated accusations of arming the RSF, which it has strenuously denied despite the evidence. Sudan war: Who is backing the...

NOVOIZABRANI predsednik SAD Donald Tramp objavio je na svojoj društvenoj mreži Truth Social čak dve mape sa pridodatom Kanadom, nakon svojih kontroverznih predloga da susedna zemlja postane 51. savezna država. Foto: Profimedia – O, Kanada! – napisao je Tramp ispod prve mape. Na toj mapi, teritorija Kanade obojena je zajedno sa SAD u boje američke zastave. Na drugoj mapi, Kanada je obojena istom bojom kao i SAD, a preko nje je crnim slovima napisano „Sjedinjene Države“. Susedni Meksiko je na mapi prikazan drugom bojom, a vidi se samo njegov severni deo. Tramp je ranije na TRUTH Social predložio Kanadi da se pridruži Sjedinjenim Državama kao odgovor na izjavu premijera Džastina Trudoa o njegovoj nameri da podnese ostavku. Dodao je da bi ujedinjenje dve zemlje omogućilo uklanjanje trgovinskih tarifa, sniženje poreza i garantovalo punu bezbednost za Otavu od navodnih pretnji od strane ruskih i kineskih brodova koji,...

In Washington wird dem ehemaligen US-Präsidenten Jimmy Carter die letzte Ehre erwiesen. Nach dem Tod des ehemaligen US-Präsidenten Jimmy Carter ist dessen Sarg im US-Kapitol aufgebahrt worden. „Möge sein Leben eine Lehre für alle Zeiten und ein Leuchtfeuer für die Zukunft sein“, sagte US-Vize Kamala Harris nach der Ankunft des Sargs in der Rotunde des Kapitols. Carter habe ein neues Beispiel dafür geschaffen, was es bedeute, ein ehemaliger Präsident zu sein, und hinterlasse ein außergewöhnliches Vermächtnis. Carter war am 29.
