North Africa is experiencing record temperatures, and yet, despite the debilitating climate, infrastructure projects continue to roll out regardless. This is one of the infrastructure projects that Algeria has undertaken to move natural resources from the producing region to treatment facilities and international markets. This is the case of the rail line transporting phosphates from the Tébessa deposit to the port of Annaba.

South Africa finds itself in uncharted waters as its people contemplate a future without a dominant African National Congress (ANC). Although locating itself to the left of the ANC, the party lacks a coherent policy platform. This result obliterated some foundational assumptions that shaped South Africa’s political landscape over the past 30 years. Despite damage from ANC state capture, the executive and legislative arms of the state still function, albeit far from optimally, in executing their respective mandates. Despite this, pressure and desperation from many South Americans mounted on all arms of the state for a solution.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Trash carried by at least one North Korean balloon fell on the South Korean presidential compound on Wednesday, raising worries about the security of key South Korean facilities during North Korean provocations. The rubbish that landed on the presidential compound in central Seoul contained no dangerous material and no one was hurt, South Korea’s presidential security service said. Jung said South Korea could use recently developed laser weapons to intercept North Korean balloons. South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff spokesperson Lee Sung Joon said the current South Korean broadcasts include K-pop songs and news on South Korean economic development. But last week, Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, threatened new countermeasures against South Korean civilian leafleting, warning that South Korean “scum” must be ready to pay “a gruesome and dear price” for their actions.

With the French government warning ransomware attacks directed at the Olympics are ‘inevitable’, ExtraHop research reveals France experienced the second most ransomware attacks in the last 12 months, just behind the US, with organizations averaging more than nine incidents and paying nearly $2 million in ransoms.
