Before Iraqi forces and their US backers have set foot in Mosul, the US and its allies have begun preparations to imminently wrest the Syrian city of Raqqa from the Islamic State, a momentous decision aimed at destroying what is left of Isis’s self-declared caliphate.
The US defense chief, Ashton Carter, meeting in Paris with his counterparts in the anti-Isis coalition, vowed that Iraqi forces, Syrian Arab and Kurdish allies and US special operations troops and airpower could take away Isis’s Iraqi and Syrian capitals practically simultaneously.
“We’ve planned for that, and we have the resources for both,” Carter told NBC News early Wednesday, saying an attack on Raqqa would commence "in the next few weeks"

Authorities in Cameroon rushed more than 600 injured people to hospitals in the country’s two main cities on Saturday a day after an overcrowded train derailed, killing more than 70 people.
Bodies remained strewn along the tracks at Eseka, which is about 75 miles west of Yaoundé, as rescue workers searched for more injured or dead. The injured were being taken to hospitals in the capital, Yaoundé, and the port city where the train was heading, Douala, officials said, as the president declared Monday to be a national day of mourning.
“My sincere condolences to the families of the victims of the derailment of the Camrail train,” President Paul Biya said on his official Facebook page. About 70 people died and 600 were wounded, he said, and the cause of the crash was being investigated.

The local hospital, with only about 60 beds, had been overwhelmed, said transport minister Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo’o. “I am calling on everyone to double efforts to save the lives of the injured,” he said.

Gambia is latest African nation to quit international criminal court



Gambia has announced its withdrawal from the international criminal court, accusing the tribunal of the “persecution and humiliation of people of colour, especially Africans”.
The announcement late on Tuesday came after similar decisions this month by South Africa and Burundi to abandon the troubled institution, set up to handle the world’s worst crimes.
Sheriff Bojang, the information minister, said in an announcement on state television that the court had been used “for the persecution of Africans and especially their leaders” while ignoring crimes committed by the west.
He singled out the case of the former British prime minister Tony Blair, whom the ICC decided not to indict over the Iraq war
“There are many western countries, at least 30, that have committed heinous war crimes against independent sovereign states and their citizens since the creation of the ICC and not a single western war criminal has been indicted,” he said.

Dasuki bought warships, aircraft and a lot of equipments for the military. He didn't steal $2.2bn

Formal President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan had a different view on the money EFCC accused Dasuki who served as National security Advisor during his tenure in office and insisted such amount is inconceivable. He said that Dasuki acquired warships, aircraft and many other equipment for the military during his tenure in office.

Jonathan further buttress the reason why he has kept quiet over the issue. According to him, he doesn't want to be seen as a formal President challenging the present government.

Court sentences shop owner that refused to sell sugar to 5 years in jail

Can this happen in Nigeria? Dokki Misdemeanor Court sentenced a shop owner based in the Giza suburb of Dokki to five years in jail and a financial fine of EGP 100,000 over charges of seizing commodity rations and refraining from selling them to citizens. According to state-run Al-Ahram newspaper, police forces arrested Magdi Mohamed for refraining from selling sugar to a member of the Supply Investigations Bureau, who was disguised as an ordinary citizen.
Police forces arrested Mohamed after they inspected his shop and found 51 kilos of sugar, Al-Ahram reported.
Last week, General Prosecutor Nabil Sadek ordered arrest warrants for a number of Muslim Brotherhood members allegedly accused of forming cells that planned to collect sugar from the Egyptian market, according to local media reports.
The current shortage of sugar in retail outlets began several days ago and came after the market shop for sugar increased from EGP 6 to EGP 12. The sugar price increase stirred ire among the population especially when most have been struggling to adapt financially to the newly implemented value-added tax (VAT), which in some cases nearly doubled the prices of several commodities and services.
The “sugar cell” members are also accused of collecting large amounts of the now scarce commodity from markets. Three of the alleged cell members were arrested at a coffee shop in Nasr City.

Kenya is pushing to increase its market share for coffee in the United States (US) as a means of improving the global visibility of the local commodity.
The government through the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority (AFA) Coffee Directorate on Tuesday said it is also targeting China, South Korea, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland and Nigeria as emerging markets for the coffee.
“Kenya has embarked on an aggressive marketing of her coffee globally. In view of this, the country is set to be the ‘portrait country (main feature)’ during the 2017 Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) Exhibition in Seattle, Washington, US,” said Grenville Melli, interim head of the directorate during a briefing in Nairobi.
The SCAA event provides the largest coffee marketing avenue in the world, where producers meet buyers and consumers.
The government is seeking to leverage on various platforms like SCAA, where Kenya is a member, to improve the visibility of the country’s coffee.
“To address the challenges, we shall venture into new markets through participation in various expos, both locally and internationally,” said Richard Lesiyampe, Agriculture principal secretary, in a statement.
As a portrait country in the upcoming SCAA exhibition set for next April Kenya will be given exclusive priority in marketing her coffee in the US during the period of the symposium and exhibitions.
