Until very recently, most people in Britain would have said that this country’s most significant involvement in the transatlantic slave trade was our heroic decision to abolish it. In the past few years, this culturally ingrained consensus has been challenged by a renewed attention to Britain’s long-lasting legacy of slavery – and to the many families and institutions that profited from the enslavement of Africans. In the ongoing struggle to determine the meaning of this history, individuals and institutions across Britain’s political spectrum are grappling with the same pivotal question: how do we remember our past? For the campaigners seeking to build a new monument in Portsmouth commemorating Britain’s West Africa Squadron – the Royal Navy unit tasked with intercepting slave ships after Britain outlawed the trade in 1807 – the answer is simple. Colin Kemp, the retired businessman who is raising £70,000 to put up a statue of a...

“In the century since Alexander Fleming stumbled across penicillin in a laboratory in London, antibiotics have become a mainstay of medicine, transforming once-deadly infections into treatable and curable conditions. However, Antimicrobial Resistance threatens to unwind that progress making it, without question, one of the most pressing health challenges of our time.” — Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General speaking at the High-Level Meeting of Antimicrobial Resistance at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become one of the leading threats to global public health and development. In 2019 4.95 million deaths were from drug-resistant infections and 1.27 million of these deaths were directly attributed to AMR. According to the recent Lancet publication titled ‘Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis’, recent projections suggest that AMR could lead to an estimated 10 million total deaths annually by 2050. Antibiotic Resistance occurs when microorganisms...

Le Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, de la Coopération et des Nigériens à l’Extérieur porte à l’attention de l’opinion nationale et internationale que l’Union Européenne (UE) a mis à la disposition du Niger, sans qu’il en ait fait la demande, un appui de 1,3 million d’euros, pour l’assistance aux victimes des inondations survenues dans notre pays. Suite à cette mise à disposition, l’Ambassadeur de l’Union Européenne au Niger a, de manière unilatérale, procédé à l’affectation de cette subvention aux ONG, notamment le Comité International de la Croix Rouge (CICR), la Danish Refugee Council (DRC) et Coopération Internationale (COOPI), au mépris des principes de transparence et de bonne collaboration avec les autorités nigériennes compétentes, qui doivent guider la gestion de l’assistance humanitaire. Pire, l’Ambassadeur a procédé arbitrairement à la répartition par région, de ladite subvention. Au regard de cette attitude qui jure avec les principes régissant les relations diplomatiques, l’Etat du Niger...

By Michel Haoses. The City of Windhoek’s Bulk Water and Wastewater Division, in collaboration with the Emergency and Disaster Risk Management Division, is conducting property inspections in the Brakwater area to ensure compliance with fire protection regulations. The city also highlighted that Brakwater residents receive water from the Von-Bach Windhoek pipeline, which sources water from the Von Bach Dam near Okahandja. However, this supply is not continuous, therefore customers with such off-takes should ensure adequate water storage for fire protection purposes. These inspections will assess compliance with fire protection standards outlined in Chapter 6 of the Water Supply Regulations. Key compliance indicators to be checked during these inspections include a valid completion certificate from Building Control, a fitness certificate from the health services division, fire water storage capacity and fire water installations, registered meters, and approved off-takes. The City of Windhoek urged residents to ensure that their property complies with...
