North Korea vows to block border with South Korea and build front-line defense structures
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said Wednesday it will permanently block its border with South Korea and build front-line defense structures to cope with “confrontational hysteria” by South Korean and U.S. forces, while not announcing an expected constitutional revision to formally designate South Korea its principal enemy and codify new national borders. The North’s military called its steps a “self-defensive measure for inhibiting war and defending the security” of North Korea. It said South Korea will “overwhelmingly punish” North Korea if it launches provocations. A South Korean military statement said North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs have threatened peace on the Korean Peninsula. AdvertisementAt the center of outside attention was whether North Korea makes new legal claims on the waters currently controlled by South Korea off their west coast.

Tunisia election: Kais Saied secures second term with 91% of votes
Tunisian president wins second term with landslideReuters Only 29% of the more than nine million registered voters took part in Sunday's electionIn an election that was criticised by rights groups, Tunisia’s President Kais Saied has won a second term with more than 90% of the vote, the electoral commission has said. Only two candidates out of more than a dozen other hopefuls were allowed to stand against President Saied in Sunday's ballot, where only 29% of the more than nine million registered voters took part. He was widely expected to win a second term after the authorities arrested and jailed dissidents as well as potential rivals. "According to preliminary results, Saied received 2,438,954 favourable votes," the country's Independent High Authority for Elections (ISIE) said on Monday evening. Sunday's vote was Tunisia's third presidential election since Ben Ali was overthrown in 2011 following months of massive protests.

President Kais Saied completes ‘Algerianization’ of Tunisia – The North Africa Post
Since he took power in 2019, President Kais Saied has followed an Algerian blueprint to destroy checks and balances, backtracking on Arab Spring assets that once made Tunisia a democratic country. Nothing depicts the vassalization of Tunisia by Algeria than the recent election, won by Kais Saied with 90.7% of the votes, with his main rival Ayachi Zammel in jail. Just like Algeria, much of the opposition boycotted the Tunisian election, calling it sham. Since taking power, Saied indulged in a populism that echoed Algerian conspiracy theories in pinning many self-inflicted economic woes on Israel and the “invisible foreign hand”. Kais Saied regime has even allowed Algerian agents to arrest refugee Slimane Bohafs, a Kabyle independence leader, in 2021.

Algeria’s Tebboune downplays failure to join BRICS – The North Africa Post
Algeria’s president Tebboune downplayed his failure to join the BRICS, which admitted other African and Asian countries as new members. Tebboune spoke with certainty two years ago promising his people to join the BRICS group, much to his disappointment when the grouping admitted Egypt and Ethiopia along with Iran the UAE and Saudi Arabic, but rejected Algeria. In a recent interview with sycophant media, Tebboune said that he “no longer thinks of joining BRICS,” expressing satisfaction with giving $1.5 billion to the BRICS’ New Development Bank. As a state that lacks an industrial base with an oil and gas-dependent economy, Algeria does not meet the requirements to join the group of industrialized nations. Moreover, Algeria’s voice is growing inaudible in its immediate African environment where it sowed tension with most of its neighbors notably Morocco, Mali, and Libya.

How digitising satellite communications will benefit African enterprises – Intelligent CIO Africa
Accounting for 71% of the world’s space business and providing increasingly capable services and connectivity, satellites are becoming more affordable and accessible. Relied on primarily by companies that do not have easy access to alternative connectivity solutions, satellite broadband has been expensive while offering limited bandwidth and poor latency. Smart GEO technology satellite providers are handing companies exactly what they need. Businesses want to know how this satellite connectivity will be maintained, what support they will receive, what backups and fail-safes are included. It was the Twoobii Smart Satellite Service from Q-KON, that proved the right fit for the problem.

The sweating bear: Why Russia’s influence in Africa is under threat
And Russia’s actions in Africa are no different. Russia’s military operations around Africa are not succeeding, and Moscow is not setting itself up as a long-term partner for African governments. Russia’s military operations around Africa are not succeeding, and Moscow is not setting itself up as a long-term partner for African governments. One which pro-Kremlin propagandists frequently cite is the symbolic northern Malian town of Kidal, which Malian and Russian forces retook in 2023. There is myth and there is reality when it comes to Russia in Africa.

Africa moves to finally harvest its solar energy potential
The International Renewable Energy Agency conducted a solar survey of Africa, recording an annual average solar insolation of 2,119 kWh/m², with most countries in North Africa, Southern Africa and West Africa exceeding that amount. Data courtesy: International Energy Agency, 2024Infrastructure overhaul required to receive new solar energy productionDespite its potential solar wealth, Africa’s solar generation capacity met only 1% of its energy needs using only 1% of its total solar energy generating capacity in 2020. About half of Africa’s solar energy production comes from photovoltaic systems, such as rooftop solar panels or solar farms with panels covering several acres. The other half of Africa’s solar energy is produced by concentrated solar power, whereby arrays of mirrors reflect sunlight onto an elevated receiver. The complex is the centrepiece of an aggressive solar power regimen that is projected to produce 4,560MW of solar power by 2030.

The two offshore wind projects were awarded to RWE in August 2024 and have 25-year licenses extendable to 35 years. TotalEnergies said this acquisition will add to the company's already awarded N-12.1, N-11.2 and O-2.2 concessions.
