Guinea coup attempt, Soldiers claim to seize power from Alpha Condé

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LCuf5LlGjOg/YTWwLYiWYoI/AAAAAAAABcU/w04T2v0g9Xs2S3Jqace1N1DQPO9G41DlACNcBGAsYHQ/s720/IMG_20210906_065851_188.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="720" height="233" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LCuf5LlGjOg/YTWwLYiWYoI/AAAAAAAABcU/w04T2v0g9Xs2S3Jqace1N1DQPO9G41DlACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210906_065851_188.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> The fate of Guinea's President Alpha Condé is unclear after an unverified video showed him surrounded by soldiers, who said they had seized power.They appeared on national TV claiming to have dissolved the government.However, the defence ministry said the attempted takeover had been thwarted by the presidential guard.This follows hours of heavy gunfire near the presidential palace in the capital, Conakry.UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres and the African Union have condemned the apparent coup and demanded the immediate release of President Condé.The West African country of Guinea is rich in natural resources but years of unrest and mismanagement mean it is one of the world's poorest countries.President barefoot on a sofaThe TV address featured nine unnamed soldiers, several draped in the red, gold and green national flag, who said they had taken over because of rampant corruption, mismanagement and poverty.Calling themselves the National Committee for Reconciliation and Development, they said the constitution had been dissolved and that there would be consultations to create a new, more inclusive one.Numerous reports say the coup was led by an elite unit headed by a former French legionnaire, Lt Col Mamady Doumbouya.In one video, which the BBC has not been able to verify, soldiers ask President Condé, 83, to confirm he is unharmed but he refuses to respond.Sitting barefoot on a sofa wearing jeans and a printed shirt, he does not have any visible injuries. His current whereabouts are unknown.Those behind the coup said that all land and air borders had been closed for a week.However, according to the defence ministry, forces loyal to the president have "contained the threat and repelled the group of assailants".Earlier, the only bridge connecting the mainland to the Kaloum peninsular, which houses most ministries and the presidential palace, was sealed off while many soldiers, some heavily armed, were posted around the palace, a military source told Reuters news agency.There are unconfirmed reports that three soldiers have been killed.Following the news, opposition supporters and activists took to the streets in celebration."We are here to show our joy because we suffered a lot over time," Abdoulaye Oumou Sow said. "We have been very patient."In their televised announcement, the so-called National Committee for Reconciliation and Development made all the right noises.For those frustrated by last year's constitutional change that allowed President Alpha Condé to run for a third term, news that the constitution would now be scrapped and replaced in consultation with the public has been warmly welcomed.Already there are reports of crowds of opposition supporters and activists taking to the streets of Conakry, to celebrate.But military juntas are notoriously fickle. With no one to hold them to account, there's no guarantee they'll deliver on their promises.There are also those who worry that this latest coup is further evidence of a gradual degradation of democratic values in the region.It's the fourth attempted coup in West Africa in just over a year. There have been two military takeovers in Mali and a failed attempt in Niger since August 2020.Contested constitutional amendments in Guinea and the Ivory Coast, a region that had been celebrated for a number of peaceful transitions of power in the nineties and early 2000s, appears to be regressing.Ultimately those who'll pay the price for the erosion of democratic institutions are ordinary West Africans, left without the protections these institutions were meant to provide.

Kano School That Accepts Cryptocurrency As Fees

The Federal government, through the Central bank of Nigeria, CBN, recently placed a ban on cryptocurrency trading in the country.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0mu7Pxp9CZo/YQgXivRJ4aI/AAAAAAAABZc/szPPa3TQGT8hC34PgP7pYORzkCUKCpsPQCNcBGAsYHQ/s720/IMG_20210802_170324_154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="314" data-original-width="720" height="140" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0mu7Pxp9CZo/YQgXivRJ4aI/AAAAAAAABZc/szPPa3TQGT8hC34PgP7pYORzkCUKCpsPQCNcBGAsYHQ/w320-h140/IMG_20210802_170324_154.JPG" title="School that receive crypto currency as fees in kano" width="320" /></a></div> In February, the Central Bank of Nigeria ordered banks to “identify persons and/or entities” who were conducting transactions in crypto or running crypto exchanges and “ensure that such accounts are closed immediately.”It is, however, clear that the ban hasn’t had any effect as many people still engage in it. Daily Trust visits a school that accepts cryptocurrency as fees.Kano’s New Oxford Science Academy Chiranchi is a nursery, primary and secondary school that made it into the news recently by announcing that it had started accepting payment of school fees through cryptocurrency against the earlier directives of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on this novel means of online transaction.Few weeks later, it was gathered that not less than 10 parents have already paid their children’s school fees using that mode of payment. <ul><li><a href="https://www.globalnet.com.ng/2021/08/medical-student-runs-out-of-class-after.html?m=0" target="_blank">Medical student runs out of class after discovering that practical corpse was a friend</a></li><li><a href="https://www.globalnet.com.ng/2021/08/how-uba-official-was-killed-buried-at.html?m=0" target="_blank">How UBA Official Was Killed, Buried At His Yobe Residence By Trusted Friend</a></li></ul>It would be recalled that on February 5, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released a circular addressed to banks and other financial institutions with the directive that transactions in crypto currencies and facilitating payment for crypto currency exchanges were prohibited.However, speaking with the proprietor of New Oxford Science Academy, Malam Sabiu Musa Haruna, who established a window for this platform, said the main rationale behind accepting cryptocurrency as a means of payment for registration and school fees is because the world is now a global village and it is the era of sophistication where digital currencies have become a welcome development.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KBjum86sCwg/YQgYUm23ycI/AAAAAAAABZk/Yc0R60awzAY0X3KF9xoGA_Vz1O_0MM43wCNcBGAsYHQ/s872/IMG_20210802_170338_307.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="872" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KBjum86sCwg/YQgYUm23ycI/AAAAAAAABZk/Yc0R60awzAY0X3KF9xoGA_Vz1O_0MM43wCNcBGAsYHQ/w264-h320/IMG_20210802_170338_307.JPG" title="School Principal" width="264" /></a></div> Located at Layin Takumashi, Panshekara road, Chiranchi area of Kano, the school is sandwiched between houses and the miniature structure of the school indicates that nearby residents are mostly students of the school.He stressed that people ought to embrace this new development looking at how developed countries are already harnessing this opportunity because of the profitable advantages attached to it, which may eventually help in boosting a country’s economy.The cryptocurrency is described as a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange where individual coin ownership records are stored in a ledger existing in a form of computerised database. However, it usually does not exist in physical form like paper money and is not issued by a central monetary authority. It uses decentralised control as opposed to centralised digital and central banking systems.What kind of crypto currency coins does Oxford Science Academy accept? Findings showed that the first decentralized cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was created in 2009 by presumably pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto. In April 2011, Namecoin was created and in October 2011, Litecoin was released. However, Kano Oxford Science Academy does not accept bitcoins because it is very high and expensive, rather they accept Doge coin, Troy coin, FET coin, and shiba inu coin, the proprietor said.Many youths in Nigeria have found transactions in cryptocurrencies profitable and rewarding, thus increasing its popularity. Similarly, it is believed that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are unregulated in many countries and their legal status is unclear. As such, this implies that financial safety is really not guaranteed.Also, there’s no record of any school in Nigeria that accepts cryptocurrency apart from Kano Oxford Science Academy.Researches also revealed that no standard schools in developed countries like America, London or Germany have started accepting payment of school fees via crypto currency.But the school proprietor, Malam Sabiu, is of the opinion that most of the developed countries are working to establish a regulatory framework before they start to accept it but cryptocurrency is the future and based on his analysis, it is believed that in the near future cryptocurrency will dominate all other currencies used across the world, especially the paper money.Malam Sabiu added that: “Cryptocurrency is a digital economy and if Nigeria accepts it, surely it will boost its economy. So, we have started accepting cryptocurrency in order to boost our school’s economy also.”It would be recalled that the Central Bank of Nigeria, in justifying the ban, explained that cryptocurrencies transaction was devoid of proper regulation and prone to financial crimes.Speaking also how do parents feel about crypto currency as a means of payment of school fees, Malam Saleh Ahmad, who identified himself as one of the parents that paid school fees using crypto currency, said it is a strange reality but it is the future.“It is a strange thing that seems impossible but with so much enlightenment, I’ve understood the reality in it and accepted the idea. I am so happy and looking forward to seeing other parents understand this reality and accepting it.”Similarly, Bashir Abubakar Alkassim who also said he paid for his kids’ school fees through crypto currency, said he is very excited over the development.“I am very excited and happy. Although, I was initially scared but later when the idea was explained to me, I understood and quickly made the payment,” he said.Findings reveal that Nigeria has accounted for crypto transactions worth $566 million in the last five years. Also, according to the estimates, out of the top 10 countries for trading volumes, Nigeria ranked third after USA and Russia in 2020, generating more than $400 million worth of transactions.A resident of the area where the school is situated, Umar Musa, said he does not see anything wrong in the initiative taken by the school, even as he confirmed that the school is basically a local school for the people living within its location.“The school is always willing to make learning better for its students. To be honest, it seems like most of the parents are willing to provide and play every role for their children’s education"He said the initiative of the school makes him wish he already has a child to enrol in the school.Efforts to get the reaction of the state government was, however, unsuccessful as the state’s Commissioner of Education, Muhammad Sanusi Sa’id Kiru, could not be reached for comments.

How UBA Official Was Killed, Buried At His Yobe Residence By Trusted Friend

If Abubakar Hassan had known what laid ahead of him, he would probably have rejected the apartment offered to him at Red Bricks, an Estate on the fringes of Damaturu, capital of Yobe State.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PJqXeYuR3gs/YQb8pLrFkKI/AAAAAAAABYs/J9LSmy6LcTIbjXAyIV9B1APB_zUjv7KKwCNcBGAsYHQ/s720/IMG_20210801_204309_821.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="401" data-original-width="720" height="178" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PJqXeYuR3gs/YQb8pLrFkKI/AAAAAAAABYs/J9LSmy6LcTIbjXAyIV9B1APB_zUjv7KKwCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210801_204309_821.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Hassan had barely spent six months at the apartment when his life was cut short by someone he trusted.Friends, family members, colleagues are still in a state of shock over the incident that happened on July 22, 2021.Maryam Salihu, a sister to the deceased, told Daily Trust that her late brother had been warned on his relationship with Umar Shaibu, also known as Abba, the prime suspect, and he had promised to severe contact with him.According to Maryam, when her brother was offered the new apartment, he did not need to move with his belongings because the house had everything in place.“The house that was given to him at Red Bricks had everything intact. So he had to dispose of his property where he lived before moving into the apartment.”She added that her late brother gave her his cushion set and told her that Abba would deliver them to her. Maryam said that was her first time of setting eyes on the person who allegedly killed her younger brother.Property theft<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v_3AVsliq8U/YQb-_yYVKQI/AAAAAAAABY8/J5YtLOp823gLuQyxLXgYrp2K5uiApurSwCNcBGAsYHQ/s670/IMG_20210801_205903_171.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="670" data-original-width="653" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v_3AVsliq8U/YQb-_yYVKQI/AAAAAAAABY8/J5YtLOp823gLuQyxLXgYrp2K5uiApurSwCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210801_205903_171.JPG" width="312" /></a></div> She said two weeks before he was murdered, the deceased called to tell her that Abba had stolen some of his properties.“Three weeks ago, my brother told me that he (Abba) went to his house and stole his speaker, and his clothes. He asked if I remembered one of the clothes I bought for him? And I said yes. Then, he replied that the boy had stolen it and some other items,” Maryam told Daily Trust.She said the deceased’s fiancée also told her how Abba allegedly stole from Abubakar on another occasion. In tears, Maryam repeated that her brother was about parting ways with the suspect when he was murdered.While disclosing how she found out about her brother’s demise, Maryam said she got a call from the operations manager of the UBA branch in Damaturu, where he worked, that he was absent from work and they could not reach him.She said not suspecting any evil, she confidently told the manager that he would report for duty later, adding that he was possibly being held back by something. But she said she started getting worried when she was called a few hours later and told that they had still not seen him at work.Stains of Blood“By 10am, they called again that they had not seen him. Immediately, I picked my car key and drove straight to his office where I picked somebody who followed me to his house.”“On reaching his house, we found a blood splash on the wall. There was also blood stain on the ground; they tried to wash it off but the stain was visible. There were traces that they had swept it with broom. At the backyard, we also found stain on the grass. I jumped over the fence because there was no key, and opened the door and searched for him,” Maryam said.She said she was worried seeing blood in the house, while her brother and some of his belongings were missing.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QOjbH3lYYoQ/YQb9ZPdvK-I/AAAAAAAABY0/JpcbWW-yzRMaiuXoSMviIVz7XJ1CN0BWgCNcBGAsYHQ/s859/IMG_20210801_205914_849.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="859" data-original-width="641" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QOjbH3lYYoQ/YQb9ZPdvK-I/AAAAAAAABY0/JpcbWW-yzRMaiuXoSMviIVz7XJ1CN0BWgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210801_205914_849.JPG" width="239" /></a></div> The bereaved sister said she headed to the police station where she filed a complaint and days later, the prime suspect was arrested.While being interrogated at the Yobe State Crime Investigation Department (CID), Abba confessed to the crime. Confession of the prime suspectHe narrated how he and some three other persons took the life of his benefactor.“When we went to the house, four of us, we had the intention of stealing his generator. Modu and I entered the house first. We planned that those at the door should knock and when he comes out, we would hit him.”“One of us was holding a iron, which was used to hit him. When those at the door knocked and he came out, CK knocked him out with the iron. I couldn’t draw near until when he was completely down. The other boys left. I told them that there was blood and we were not supposed to leave him there but they still left. So, I washed the place and buried him.” Police reactThe Police Public Relations Officer in Yobe, ASP Dungus Abdulkarim, said four persons have been arrested in connection with the murder.He listed all those arrested as Umar Shaibu AKA Abba (aged 21), Tajjuddeen Taufiq (aged 20), Ismail Moh’d (aged 17), and Bulama Modu (aged 17).Abdulkarim said upon interrogation, Abba confessed to the crime, stating that they planned to only rob the victim of money but ended up killing him, after which he was buried.The brutal murder of Abubakar Hassan has left his family and friends in great shock.“He was a nice person actually. He was somebody who was not troublesome. You barely heard him speak. He had a pure heart and was probably not thinking somebody would harm him,” said one of his colleagues at UBA, who did not want to be named.On Saturday, the deceased’s loved ones held special prayers in his honour. One of those who attended said Abubakar’s untimely death was shocking but more shocking was how it was orchestrated by someone he trusted.

US Lawmakers Block Sale Of Attack Helicopters To Nigeria Over Poor Human Rights Record

US lawmakers have blocked the sale of some attack helicopters to Nigeria over purported poor human rights record of the Buhari administration. The deal worth $875million was for the sale of 12 AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters and accompanying defence systems for the Nigerian Military, it was learnt, are being blocked by the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hMN0-ERyu0A/YQZPHYrMtDI/AAAAAAAABYU/VHt8685GjkYFjk74JePztKCYitfXY5cpQCNcBGAsYHQ/s720/IMG_20210801_082747_082.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="720" height="198" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hMN0-ERyu0A/YQZPHYrMtDI/AAAAAAAABYU/VHt8685GjkYFjk74JePztKCYitfXY5cpQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210801_082747_082.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> The Foreign Policy website reports that the details of the proposed sale were first sent by the U.S. State Department to Congress in January before the inauguration of President Joe Biden.In addition to the helicopters, the proposed sale included 28 helicopter engines produced by GE Aviation, 14 military-grade aircraft navigation systems made by Honeywell, and 2,000 advanced precision kill weapon systems—laser-guided rocket munitions, according to information sent by the State Department to Congress and reviewed by Foreign Policy.The report said the US policy makers are torn between balancing national security with human rights objectives.They reportedly expressed huge discomfort with the human rights records of the Buhari’s government.Instances cited include the recent ban on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, the alleged crackdown on #EndSARS protesters in October last year, among others with the US lawmakers calling for cautions in engaging with Nigeria.Chairperson of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Bob Menendez, was quoted as calling for a “fundamental rethink of the framework of our overall engagement” with Nigeria during a Senate hearing with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in June.Both Menendez and Sen. Jim Risch, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, have placed a hold on the proposed arms sale, according to multiple U.S. officials and congressional aides familiar with the matter, who spoke to Foreign Policy on condition of anonymity, the website reported.Observers also cite instances of abuse by the military as responsible for the current impasse on the sale of helicopters.“There is a culture of impunity that exists around abuses by the military,” said Nigeria researcher at Human Rights Watch, Anietie Ewang who was quoted by the Foreign Policy.He added, “I’m sure it’s a difficult situation. There are so many conflicts springing up across the country now. The authorities, I presume, are trying to do the best they can to save lives and properties. But this must be done in accordance with human rights standards. You can’t throw one out just to be able to achieve the other.”

How Shekau, ISWAP Commanders Were ‘Killed After Botched Power Deal’

During the parley, he was asked to voluntarily relinquish power and order his fighters in other areas to declare bai’a (allegiance) to ISWAP’s authority. They had expected Shekau to issue a statement.“Sources within the insurgency, however, said that Shekau who secretly had a suicide vest on eventually blew himself up alongside everyone present during the negotiations. The identities of the people within ISWAP’s leadership who lost their lives to the explosion remain unclear at this time,” HumanAngle said in its report.Shekau’s reign After the death of the group’s founder, Mohammed Yusuf, in 2009, Shekau emerged the spiritual leader of Boko Haram. Several times in the past, Shekau was rumoured to have been killed and fatally wounded during military operations.But he subsequently debunked the claims by releasing videos and audios.Deep disagreement among Boko Haram leaders had led to confrontation with Shekau.Citing Shekau’s rigidity, Abu Musab, a son of Boko Haram founder Mohammed Yusuf, and a top lieutenant, Mamman Nur, broke away from him.The break-way faction graduated to ISWAP and moved to Alagano and Lake Chad Basin, where they reigned.Silence from the militaryEven though the military authorities are yet to comment on the news about Shekau’s death, Daily Trust learnt that ISWAP’s claim is being verified.Both the Department of State Services (DSS) and the army authorities are said to be verifying the claim.

A Rocket Launched by China May Land in Abuja

A rocket launched by China is set to crash back to earth this weekend.Experts say they are not sure where or when the rocket launched in April 2021 will land.The Federal Capital Territory, Abuja has been listed as one of the cities where the rocket by berth.A report by NBC news indicates that a piece of a rocket launched by China in April 2021 is expected to re-enter the earth's atmosphere late Saturday, May 8, or early Sunday, May 9 according to experts and officials. According to the report, the 98-foot-long 5B rocket is tumbling through space in an uncontrolled orbit at 18,000 miles per hour after blasting off last month carrying part of the country's new space station. And while it's common for pieces of rockets to fall back to earth, this particular section has drawn concern because its lack of control means experts aren't sure where it will come down. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J_ZboeH9tC8/YJa1jBqjh8I/AAAAAAAABUU/c07J8OXSkmE2OXOEgvYxZN0owBozviPHACNcBGAsYHQ/s720/IMG_20210508_165749_127.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="481" data-original-width="720" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J_ZboeH9tC8/YJa1jBqjh8I/AAAAAAAABUU/c07J8OXSkmE2OXOEgvYxZN0owBozviPHACNcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210508_165749_127.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A photo of the rocket when it was blasted off from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the Hainan Province of China.</div>Scientists say the risk of it killing anyone after it re-enters the planet's atmosphere is small but not impossible. Also, there is a tiny chance the debris could hit New York, Los Angeles, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, Beijing, or the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The experts, however, noted that it will more likely land in an ocean or the wilderness. Recall that Nigeria's Defence Space Administration (DSA), a while ago, revealed that the country will adopt the use of space science technology in fighting insurgency, the biggest challenge of the West African giant at the moment. The DSA noted that in contemporary times, science is required to effectively engage in warfare, adding that the Nigerian military will employ the use of space science technology to impact national security. Meanwhile, Mad Mike Hughes, a scientist known for amateur crewed rocketry, died while attempting to launch his homemade rocket in Barstow, California last year. Mad Mike crashlanded his rocket few seconds after takeoff in the presence of Science Channel production crew that was on-site documenting the launch.

Buba Galadima tackles presidency for defending Pantami

Buba Galadima, a former ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, has condemned the presidency’s defence of Isa Pantami, minister of communications and digital economy, over the latter’s past comments on supporting terror groups.The presidency had said on Thursday that it stands by Pantami, who had in the past expressed views in support of terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda.The presidency based its position on the fact that Pantami has “publicly and permanently condemned his earlier utterances as wrong”.Speaking on Friday when he featured on ARISE TV’s ‘The Morning Show’, Galadinma said the presidency’s reaction shows that if anyone who commits a crime and expresses remorse is pardonable, then Joshua Dariye and Jolly Nyame, ex-governors of Plateau and Taraba states, respectively, should be released from prison.Dariye and Nyame are both in jail for criminal misappropriation of public funds and abuse of office.“This issue is not a question of religion, because I don’t believe Isa Pantami is a representative of Islam. It is an issue that negates the laws of our country. We can’t pick and choose. If anybody commits any offence, irrespective of his position, tribe, or religion, the law must take its course. This is a moral burden on the shoulders of this government,” Galadima said. “We shouldn’t choose and pick because if anybody who commits an offence apologises and should be let free, then let the federal government release Jolly Nyame, Dariye of Plateau state; they have been jailed and they had remorse in court. Or those that are being interrogated for theft should be left off the hook if they apologise.”Galadima added that since Pantami has admitted that he committed a crime, he should face the consequences. “Pantami has already admitted his crime, so there is no need to investigate anything. He has already admitted and apologised. Whether the apology is good enough to exonerate him, that I wouldn’t know. It is opportunism by these clergymen all over, on both sides, that they play to the gallery because they want to draw attention,” he said.“Now, he did that in a certain period and now he is reaping the fruits because he has been recognised and given an appointment. Now that his past was bad, it is important that he faces his own music.”<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HhL0PNu8XTQ/YITnwB58uJI/AAAAAAAABSg/9l3RKNAMgx4i_edzaeHdnqUN__tegeClQCNcBGAsYHQ/s680/Buba-globalnet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="365" data-original-width="680" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HhL0PNu8XTQ/YITnwB58uJI/AAAAAAAABSg/9l3RKNAMgx4i_edzaeHdnqUN__tegeClQCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/Buba-globalnet.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Deby...The Chadian Army has announced Idris Deby 37-year-old son, Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, a four-star general, as the new leader of the country.Deby died on the battlefield after three decades in power, the army announced on state television on Tuesday.The shocking announcement came after the 68-year-old was proclaimed the winner of a presidential election that had given him a sixth term in office.The army said Deby had been commanding his army at the weekend as it battled against rebels who had launched a major incursion into the north of the country on election day.Deby “has just breathed his last breath defending the sovereign nation on the battlefield,” army spokesman General Azem Bermandoa Agouna said in a statement read out on state television.Deby, 68, had ruled Chad with an iron fist for three decades but was a key ally in the West’s anti-jihadist campaign in the troubled Sahel region.On Monday, the army had claimed a “great victory” in its battle against the rebels from neighbouring Libya, saying it had killed 300 fighters, with the loss of five soldiers in its own ranks during eight days of combat.Deby would have been one of the longest-serving leaders in the world, after provisional results showed him winning the April 11 election.He was a herder’s son from the Zaghawa ethnic group who took the classic path to power through the army, and relished the military culture.His latest election victory — with almost 80 percent of the vote — had never been in doubt, with a divided opposition, boycott calls, and a campaign in which demonstrations were banned or dispersed.Deby had campaigned on a promise of bringing peace and security to the region, but his pledges were undermined by the rebel incursion.The government had sought Monday to assure concerned residents that the offensive was over.There had been panic in some areas of N’Djamena on Monday after tanks were deployed along the city’s main roads, an AFP journalist reported.The tanks were later withdrawn apart from a perimeter around the president’s office, which is under heavy security during normal times.“The establishment of a security deployment in certain areas of the capital seems to have been misunderstood,” government spokesman Cherif Mahamat Zene had said on Twitter on Monday. “There is no particular threat to fear.”However, the US embassy in N’Djamena had on Saturday ordered non-essential personnel to leave the country, warning of possible violence in the capital. Britain also urged its nationals to leave.France’s embassy said in an advisory to its nationals in Chad that the deployment was a precaution and there was no specific threat to the capital.The rebel raid in the provinces of Tibesti and Kanem was carried out by the Front for Change and Concord in Chad (FACT), based in Libya.The group has a non-aggression pact with Khalifa Haftar, a military strongman who controls much of Libya’s east.FACT, a group mainly made up of the Saharan Goran people, said in a statement Sunday that it had “liberated” the Kanem region. Such claims in remote desert combat zones are difficult to verify.The Tibesti mountains near the Libyan frontier frequently see fighting between rebels and the army, as well as in the northeast bordering Sudan. French air strikes were needed to stop an incursion there in February 2019.In February 2008, a rebel assault reached the gates of the presidential palace before being pushed back with French backing.

We have reached an advanced stage of resolving the issues, for the services to be restored to our citizens. Many thanks,” the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, announced on Twitter.The situation unchanged, however, 24 hours later as customers were still unable to use the banks’ USSD systems to recharge.AlternativeOn Friday, MTN through its spokesperson, Funso Aina, advised subscribers to use alternative channels to access its services electronically.Below is the list and links to access the various alternative platforms, as circulated by the firm.1.
