The same far-left Sumar coalition has turned its back to Algiers following a deal to form a coalition with Sanchez that included abandoning support for the Algeria-backed Polisario separatists. Sanchez won the support of Parliament to form a new government ending a political limbo that lasted for months since the PP that won elections failed to form a majority government. Under Sanchez administration, Spain has backed in 2022 Morocco’s autonomy plan as the only political solution to the Sahara issue, irking the Polisario and its mentor, Algeria. Algeria responded with a set of retaliatory measures including economic restrictions on Spanish imports and Spanish businesses, as well as threatening to cut gas. Earlier this month, Algeria returned its ambassador to Madrid, marking the recognition of its failure to pressure Spain to adopt a pro-separatist stance.

In early November, the governments of Kenya and Rwanda announced that they were extending visa-free travel to all African visitors to both countries. The two nations joined the Seychelles, Benin and Gambia in promising to remove visas as an obstacle to African travelers. While the move toward visa-free travel is a step in the right direction, it is not sufficient to address the range of challenges facing Africans crossing national borders in Africa. Free movement of people across Africa is not just a central demand of the pan-African movement. Free movement of people is also a key priority of the AU’s Agenda 2063, the main policy document that serves as a roadmap for the organization’s current programs.

The base is just outside El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur. Many of those killed were young Masalit men and relatives of Sudanese soldiers remaining in Ardamata, after the troops fled the town. On 5 November alone, 66 Masalit men were summarily executed in three separate incidents. The Ardamata attack is the second reported mass attack by the RSF and its allied Arab militia against Masalit civilians in a matter of months.

"Coal in North Macedonia represents 40% of the energy source, so it's very big, it's very important," EBRD President Odile Renaud-Basso told Reuters. Both of its coal-fired plants are ageing, outdated and run on lignite, the most polluting type of coal. An IFC spokesperson said the green transition, including in North Macedonia, was one of its key priorities, but that it was not in a position to confirm any plan details. "The world's richest countries need to work with the multilateral development banks to find effective, structural ways to channel significantly scaled up energy transition finance," he said. North Macedonia joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance, a group of countries committed to phasing out coal-fired power, in 2021.

This anticipated relief comes just in time for the end-of-year holiday season, potentially easing consumer struggles and making travel more affordable. The AA announced today that motorists can expect the price of ULP 95 inland to drop to approximately R22.17 per liter, with coastal prices even lower at R22.05 per liter, marking the lowest rate since February. Diesel is projected to decrease to R22.15 per liter, which is less expensive than September's R23.05 per liter but still above August's rate of R20.21 per liter. Similarly, data from CEF released yesterday indicates that ULP 93 will see a reduction of R1.05 per liter, while illuminating paraffin is set to decrease by R1.75 (USD1 = ZAR18.2773) per liter. These adjustments are attributed to stable oil prices alongside the aforementioned stronger local currency and softer international product prices.

People walk past the new headquarters of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in Canary Wharf, London, Britain, September 14, 2023. REUTERS/Alishia Abodunde/File photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Iraq has become the 74th member of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the multilateral lender said on Thursday, while Ghana and Senegal have also applied to join. Iraq first submitted its request to join the bank in 2018, and its shareholder status enables it to apply to become a recipient economy, which would unlock EBRD finance and policy support. "When the time comes, we are looking forward to starting work in Iraq, applying our expertise to developing its economy," EBRD President Odile Renaud-Basso said in a statement. Renaud-Basso told Reuters that Senegal and Ghana had submitted applications to join the bank in the latest sign of its push into sub-Saharan Africa.
