ShareThe leading ride-hailing and instant delivery company recently announced that its Bolt Food service will cease operations in South Africa on December 8, 2023, and Nigeria on December 7, 2023. In the fiscal year 2022, Bolt Technology witnessed a remarkable 152% jump in turnover, reaching €1.26 billion. Bolt’s decision to discontinue its food delivery service in South Africa and Nigeria represents a strategic move towards concentrating on its more lucrative segments. Bolt Food, launched in Lagos in October 2021, was introduced to tap into the flourishing food delivery market, competing with other services like Jumia Food and Gokada. The termination of the service in South Africa will affect both customers and couriers, with Bolt focusing on facilitating a smooth transition for everyone involved.

Rose heads out to sea in eastern Tunisia. More than a month ago, she had become entangled in fishing nets before being taken to the "Sea Turtle First Aid Center" in Sfax (central-eastern Tunisia), a member of the European "Life Med Turtles" program, one of two of its kind in Tunisia along with the one in Monastir (eastern Tunisia). In North Africa, these are the only care facilities for the loggerhead turtle, or Caretta Caretta by its scientific name, the most widespread species in the Mediterranean and one of the most at-risk. Now, at the Sfax Care Center, it's often the fishermen who bring in the injured Caretta Caretta, recognizable by their enormous heads. Due to heavy pollution of their habitat, Caretta Caretta absorb toxic metals such as mercury, which can harm human health.

It is the new foot-on-the-ground version of imperialism being practised by the US through Israel, its surrogate in the region. Alongside its mammoth wartime size, being a nuclear power, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have a very capable modern air force. To a great extent, the Israeli military does depend on its partnership with the US. President Joe Biden has already pledged to stand by Israel, seemingly giving the green light for a continued operation, including ground incursion. If Israel does not have the notion of greater Israel in sight, why is this apartheid regime asking for the displacement of all Palestinians from Gaza?

Considerations include complying with public authorities that regulate the telecommunications industry, maintaining defined service levels with customers, the health and safety of workers, and environmental protection. These regulations force telcos to deploy customer engagement solutions, workflow automation, and data consolidation for real-time oversight and easier proof of compliance. Open RAN aims to achieve interoperability and standardisation of radio access network elements across various software and hardware providers. Two of the lowest-ranking service management pressures faced by telcos were increased complexity of assets and service delivery. Replacing legacy systems with a future-proof service management platform that offers embedded innovations allows telcos to automate internal operations, leading to lower costs, higher workforce efficiencies, faster innovation and more streamlined service experiences.

However, many individuals and organisations often neglect the importance of data maintenance, which can lead to data load shedding—a term used to describe the loss, corruption, or unavailability of data due to poor data management practices. Without adequate data maintenance, data can be permanently lost due to hardware failures, software glitches, or accidental deletions wiping out critical information, leading to operational setbacks and permanent data loss. Data maintenance at a priceData maintenance involves regularly analysing and extracting valuable insights from data. Significance of data maintenanceRegular data maintenance practices, such as data backups, updates, and error checks, help maintain the integrity and accuracy of the stored information. Neglecting data maintenance can lead to severe consequences, including operational disruptions, data loss, security breaches, missed opportunities, and legal repercussions.

November 13, 2023 04:18 am | Updated 04:18 am IST - AlgiersAlgerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Saturday, November 11, 2023, dismissed the country's prime minister and replaced him with the head of his Cabinet as the country struggles with inflation and next year's national elections approach. Benabderahmne's sacking comes three years into Tebboune's tenure and is the latest upheaval to shape North African politics. In August, Tunisia's president dismissed his prime minister, while the head of Algeria's powerful state-run oil company and eight of his vice presidents were dismissed several weeks ago. For Tebboune, the changing of the guard takes place at a time of economic anxiety and ahead of next year's presidential elections. Larbaoui, the incoming prime minister, rose from being an athlete on Algeria's national handball team to a member of the country's diplomatic corps, having served as Algeria's ambassador to Egypt and the United Nations.

The Extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit held Saturday in Riyadh has adopted a resolution demanding an end to Israeli aggression on Gaza, categorically rejecting forced displacement of Palestinian People, demanding the immediate lift of the blockade and the letting of humanitarian aid convoys into Gaza. The leaders of the Arab and Islamic countries participating in the Summit expressed their categorical rejection of the forced displacement of the Palestinian people outside the Gaza Strip or the West Bank, including Al-Quds Acharif, and any other form of liquidation of the Palestinian cause. They rejected “describing this war of retaliation as self-defense or justifying it under any pretext” demanding that it be stopped immediately. Israel and no other country in the region will achieve security and peace until the people of Palestine have peace and security, the resolution stated. King Mohammed VI who was represented at this Summit by Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch, called in an address for stopping human beings’ killing.
