Yennayer: North Africa's 3,000-year-old new year's celebration
On the evening of 12 January, dozens of bonfires burned on the rocky hillside above the village of Tisselday in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains. They were lit by families for Yennayer, the Amazigh (or Berber) new year celebrations. The Amazigh calendar starts at 950 BCE, when King Sheshonq ascended the throne of Egypt, meaning this year is 2974. For Amazigh communities in Morocco, this Yennayer will be particularly special. On the Amazigh calendar, Yennayer marks the ending of the agrarian year and the beginning of the next, said Agouni.

Akwaba! Africa's biggest football stage, is set... But will it be a success?
Akwaba, the mascot of the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. Reigning champions Senegal, 2019 champions Algeria, and World Cup heroes Morocco will each believe that they can crown a period of success by lifting the gold in the Ivory Coast. Insult was added to very serious injury as they were dispatched by Cameroon in World Cup qualifying, bitterly missing out on Qatar. Then there's Morocco, perennial underachievers at the Nations Cup - they haven't won since 1976 - but now imbued with fresh conviction after reaching the semifinals at the World Cup in Qatar. The handling of TV rights remains a concern, with 'new kid on the block' - Togolese-registered broadcaster New World TV - mopping up the lion's share of the continental broadcast rights.

Weekend Read: Agreeing on green hydrogen
From pv magazine 12/23-01/24Green hydrogen and solar will be intricately connected, as is evident in early green hydrogen projects. “As per our knowledge, there are currently no hydrogen projects producing green hydrogen utilizing PPA-contracted electricity. PPAs include supplying renewable electricity to Fortescue Future Industries’ (FFI's) 300 MW Holmaneset green hydrogen and ammonia project in Norway, a green steel project in Sweden, and a 20 MW green hydrogen plant in Germany. “The delegated act, as currently written, makes it very complicated to realize the green hydrogen targets in Europe,” said Kornek. “In particular, the strict requirements on additionality, temporality, and geographical correlation will be extremely difficult to comply with and will make green hydrogen more expensive than necessary.”New European Union rules on green hydrogen could also affect the viability of different kinds of PPA.

Human Rights Watch alerts to Tunisia’s authoritarian drift under President Saied – The North Africa Post
With thousands jailed for expressing dissent, destroyed checks and balances and an undermined civil society, Tunisia has backpedaled to autocracy following a crackdown on civil liberties by a president bent on continuing his power grab, Human Rights Watch said. “Tunisia experienced further regression in terms of human rights and the rule of law during 2023 in the absence of genuine checks and balances on President Kais Saied’s power… The government has taken new steps to muzzle free speech, prosecute dissent, and crack down on migrants and asylum seekers,” the international rights watchdog said in a recent report. “Over the past year, President Saied jailed dozens of his opponents and critics, fueled racism and xenophobia against Black migrants and refugees, and threatened the activities of civil society,” the report quoted Salsabil Chellali, Tunisia director at Human Rights Watch, as saying. Within a year, Tunisian authorities stepped up crackdown on dissent, arresting and prosecuting lawyers, activists and journalists. Black Africans suffered persecution after xenophobic statements by the country’s president, which unleashed a wave of aggressions on migrants across the country, HRW recalled.

Bringing Healthcare to Kenyans Who Live on the Move
A health facility, based in Mlolongo, on the busy Nairobi-Mombasa highway, attracts a steady flow of patients. As well as workers and residents from the area, it also treats drivers from the truckers’ rest stop across the road, as one of 19 roadside health facilities run by the nonprofit North Star Alliance, offering priority healthcare to mobile populations. The organisation, which constructs clinics out of shipping containers, has set up facilities along major transport routes, transit towns, and border crossings across east and southern Africa to increase mobile workers’ access to medical services. Many of the NGO’s health centres are along the northern corridor, one of east Africa’s busiest transport routes, which connects several countries in the region. SOURCE: THE GUARDIAN
