Decarbonisation: for months now, not a single air transport conference has failed to address this issue, which has been all the more compelling since the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which represents the entire sector, made a commitment on 4 October, 2021 in Boston to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The stakes are high: the aviation sector “accounts for 2.6% of carbon emissions and contributes 5.1% to global warming, due to its other effects, in particular the emission of condensation trails”, Antoine Laborde, director of fuel purchasing at Air France, told a masterclass devoted to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in May 2023.

As World AIDS Day, 1 December approaches, UNAIDS urges governments across the world to unleash the power of grassroots communities across the world to lead the fight to end AIDS. Let Communities Lead shows that investing in community-led HIV programmes delivers transformational benefits. Crackdowns on civil society and on the human rights of marginalized communities are obstructing communities from providing HIV prevention and treatment services.

Q: Will foreign banks be able to acquire shares — including majority stakes — in existing banks? Q: In September, the NBE approved the opening of offshore accounts for strategic foreign investors in the country. The offshore account exemption for strategic investors is a response to a long-standing request from the foreign investment community in the country. I don’t think that their withdrawal says anything about the opportunities now becoming available for foreign investors in the banking as well as capital markets space in Ethiopia.

Ethio Telecom and Ethiopia's finance ministry, which is overseeing the bidding process, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Rep. George Santos may be thinking about stepping down from Congress after all. Facing a likely expulsion vote as soon as Wednesday, the embattled Long Island lawmaker held talks with Speaker Mike Johnson over the weekend, suggesting he could be mulling a more amicable exit. “I’ve spoken to Rep. Santos at some length over the holiday and talked to him about his options,” Johnson told reporters in Sarasota, Fla. “But … it’s not yet determined.”Johnson added that “it remains to be seen” whether Santos would face an expulsion vote this week. The disgraced lawmaker has scheduled a press conference for Thursday, but it’s not clear what the topic might be, especially since an expulsion vote could come before then. Republican leaders released a schedule for House votes that did not include the Santos expulsion, although it could still take place.

(The Washington Stand) One out of every three women who has an abortion develops full-blown depression because of her choice, according to a scholarly review of data tracking post-abortive women around the world. Planned Parenthood has often normalized abortion by claiming, “One in four American women will have an abortion by age 45.” Experts found that one in three of those women will develop depression as a result of their abortion. In some nations, the share of women who feel depressed after undergoing an abortion is as high as 85%, noted the meta-analysis. “It is important that post-abortive mothers know God’s mercy is unfathomable, and it is stronger than our misery and sin. He will take care of everything else.”“Project Rachel Ministry is a wonderful resource for any woman struggling with post-abortive depression,” Szoch added.

“The severity of the crisis is further exacerbated by the limited humanitarian access to those in dire need, primarily due to the obstruction of major routes. Cut off from essential humanitarian aid, approximately 200,000 internally displaced people are currently stranded. “The disruption of roads not only impedes the delivery of critical humanitarian aid but also heightens the vulnerability of displaced populations, leaving them without essential resources and protection. Cholera outbreaks continue, signalling concerning limitations of the humanitarian aid currently available. “UNHCR and UNICEF urgently call on all actors in eastern DRC to stop the violence that is taking an enormous toll on the civilian population.
