Elon Musk Net Worth Zooms Past Warren Buffet’s, Bloomberg Reports...
Musk’s fortune rose by $6.07 billion on Friday, Bloomberg News said, following a 10.8% jump in the electric carmaker’s stock. Buffett’s net worth dropped earlier this week when he donated $2.9 billion in Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa.N) stock to charity, the report added. Tesla’s shares have surged 500% over the past year as the company increased sales of its Model 3 sedan. The blistering rally also puts Musk in reach of a payday potentially worth $1.8 billion, his second jackpot from the electric car maker in about two months. The stock is up about 38% since the close on July 1, […]Read more...

Xavi Will be Barca Coach Sooner or Later – Bartomeu...
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has admitted Xavi will become the club’s manager “sooner or later” but revealed the club is ready to back Quique Setien for next season. The Catalans have struggled to impress under Setien and are currently second in La Liga with Real Madrid in pole position to claim the league title. That situation, combined with Barcelona’s lacklustre displays, has led to speculation Setien could be replaced at season’s end with Xavi himself preparing for a return to Camp Nou as a manager. But while Bartomeu has confirmed Xavi is a future Barcelona coach, the club president […]Read more...

Sudan Bans Female Genital Mutilation, Allows Non-Muslims to Consume Alcohol...
The Government of Sudan has passed laws banning the popular act of female genital mutilation in the country and also allowing non-Muslims to consume alcohol. The latest development is a huge win for women rights advocates who has for years agitated for an end to the widespread act. Along with banning female genital mutilation, Sudan’s Sovereign Council last week reversed a law which formerly required women to have a permit from a male family member to travel with their children. Prime Minister Abdulla Hamdock hailed the changes as “an important step in reforming the justice system.” The new government is […]Read more...

Oromos Say “Ethiopia has Been a Dangerous Country for us”...
Ethiopia has seen deadly unrest since Oromo singer Hachalu Hundessa was shot dead at the end of June, with Oromos denouncing their marginalisation within a country that many experts are saying is becoming an authoritarian regime once more – despite the election of Nobel Peace Prize-winning Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in 2018. Oromos in Paris gathered to protest on Monday. As they gathered around the statue holding aloft the flame of liberty at Place de la République – a major site for demonstrations in the French capital, near the ultimate symbol of protest, the Bastille – the Oromo protesters made […]Read more...

“Going to Lebanon is Like Going to Hell.” – Nigerian...
Temitope Arowolo, a 31- year- old Nigerian lady who was falsely accused of attempted murder, theft and imprisoned in Lebanon, said that she saw hell while in the Midde East nation. Arowolo, who landed in Abuja on Saturday, said she will not wish her experience on even Satan. Twenty-nine Nigerians evacuated by the Federal Government from Lebanon arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Saturday afternoon.

Congo Justice Minister Resigns...
The Democratic Republic of Congo’s Justice Minister Celestin Tunda resigned his position on Saturday following a dispute with the president over proposed laws that would give politicians more control over criminal prosecutions. In a televised statement, Tunda did not give a reason for his resignation. He had been briefly arrested late last month after their disagreement got to a head. Tunda has consistently opposed changes in the laws by the sitting government citing illegality. The controversial reforms include proposals to define the powers of judges, which critics said is a ploy to muzzle the judiciary. They were put forward by […]Read more...

Burkina Faso Ruling Party Endorses President for Re Election...
Burkina Faso President Roch Marc Christian Kabore’s party backed him Saturday to run for re-election despite struggling to crush a bloody jihadist insurgency. Simon Compaore, president of the People’s Movement for Progress (MPP), made the announcement to cheering supporters at a stadium rally in the capital Ouagadougou. The decision, which came after several hours of closed-door discussions among party delegates, came as little surprise, as he was his party’s only candidate to run. Kabore himself could not attend the event, because of his role, said a party executive. But in a message read out by a party spokesman, he welcomed […]Read more...
