Migrants in Tunisia ask for safe passage to Europe amid increasing anti-migration policies
In the coastal town of El Amra, Tunisia, migrants from sub-Saharan Africa are asking to be let go in order to reach Europe as tensions mount in the country over the government’s handling of the migrant crisis. A migrant from Burkina Faso was looking for safe passage and did not want to stay in Tunisia. Hundreds of Tunisians marched in the streets of Jebeniana this weekend, demanding that the Tunisian government expel the migrants. Tunisian President Kais Saied has taken a hard stance against migrants, accusing them of bringing violence and crime to the country. The International Organization for Migration’s Tunisia office has said roughly 7,000 migrants are living near Jebeniana and El Amra, though residents estimate the number could be much higher.

Tekah, an Ethiopian youth, was shot to death in 2019. The first is that self-defense does not apply because the officer’s life was not in immediate and real danger, the PID said. Family members and supporters attend a ceremony, in memory of 18-year-old Ethiopian, Solomon Tekah who was shot and killed in Kiryat Haim by an off-duty police officer on June 30, 2019, in Kiryat Haim, July 10, 2019.

You see, Queen Cassiopeia was vain enough to compare her beauty to the Nereids, and Poseidon got quite upset. He saw 10 sure tricks: five trumps, three hearts and the minor-suit aces. Perseus took the ace of diamonds and ruffed a diamond with the ace of trumps, preparing to reverse the dummy. He led a trump to dummy’s eight, ruffed a diamond high and led a trump to the nine, relieved to see East-West follow suit. He ruffed the last diamond, returned to dummy with the queen of hearts and drew the missing trump with the jack.

Ethiopia aims to lift coffee exports to offset price fall
By Aaron Maasho ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia plans to increase coffee exports by a third by the end of the 2013/2014 fiscal year to help counter a fall in revenues due to lower coffee prices, the head of its coffee exporters association said on Monday. Coffee exports from Africa's biggest producer hit a record high of 198,706 tonnes in 2012/13 but earnings of $744.9 million were lower than 2011/12, when sales of 169,391 tonnes earned Ethiopia $833.1 million. The World Bank says international prices for coffee declined by about a third between the two periods. The slide in coffee exports weighed on overall export earnings, which slipped to $3 billion in 2012/2013 from $3.15 billion a year before. Four million smallholder farmers grow coffee in the misty forested highlands in the west and southwest of the country.
