Representatives from various African and Caribbean entities joined forces at a historic event this week in the capital of Barbados, Bridgetown, to demand reparations for slavery and its legacy in today's society. The University of the West Indies (UWI), the Economic, Social and Cultural Council of the African Union (AU), Barbados' government, grant-making network Open Society Foundations and the Caribbean Pan African Network teamed up to "call for reparations for historical crimes"[...]
Attendees included ambassadors and representatives from AU member states and the Caribbean Community political and economic union (CARICOM).
"This is a historic moment... humanity cannot go forward with all the toxic interferences of colonisation," Hilary Beckles, head of the CARICOM reparations commission, told a news conference on Thursday. "We have to clean up this mess to allow humanity to function."
The CARICOM reparations commission, which was set up to seek reparations from former colonial powers such as the United Kingdom, France and Portugal, "sees the persistent racial victimisation of the descendants of slavery and genocide as the root cause of their suffering today", it said in its 10-point reparation plan. Outcomes of the meeting include a proposal for a roadmap for cooperation between the AU and CARICOM, the UWI statement said.[...] Barbados, where the meeting took place, received 600,000 enslaved Africans between 1627 and 1833, who were put to work in sugar plantations, earning fortunes for the English owners. The Caribbean island ditched Britain's late Queen Elizabeth as head of state in 2021 and renewed its campaign for reparations.

Government of Romania approves purchase of 32 F-16 jets from Norway for $473 million

The government of Romania approved the acquisition of 32 F-16 fighters from Norway for 454 million euros (US$ 473 million), the Romanian Ministry of Defense reported on Thursday.
The acquisition will allow Romania to withdraw MiG-21 jets from the Soviet era from use, the press release said. The Romanian parliament gave the green light to the acquisition at the end of 2021.
The ministry expects Romania to use aircraft that were from Norway for at least ten years.
Currently, Romania has a fleet of 17 F-16 fighter planes, all purchased from Portugal. The current aircraft have the M5.2R configuration and will be upgraded to an M6 configuration. X, added the ministry.
Since August 2020, aircraft construction and repair company Aerostar has been the service provider of maintenance and upgrade services for the country's F-16 fighters in Romania.
Tumblr media
In May, the Ministry of Defense said it received the necessary approvals to fly its Soviet-era MiG-21 jets for another year, after leaving them to the ground for two months after an accident.
President Klaus Iohannis said in February that Romania planned to buy Lockheed Martin's F-35 aircraft as part of its Air Force modernization program.
In March, Iohannis announced that Romania needs to increase defense spending from 2% to 2.5% of gross domestic product, after the Russian invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
Romania, which joined NATO in 2004, said it plans to spend a total of 9.8 billion euros by 2026 to increase its defense capabilities.

Campus Protests Over Gaza Intensify Amid Pushback by Universities and Police (NYT) A wave of pro-Palestinian protests spread and intensified on Wednesday as students gathered on campuses around the country, in some cases facing off with the police, in a widening showdown over campus speech and the war in Gaza. University administrators from Texas to California moved to clear protesters and prevent encampments from taking hold on their own campuses as they have at Columbia University, deploying police in tense new confrontations that already have led to dozens of arrests. At the same time, new protests continued erupting in places like Pittsburgh and San Antonio. Students expressed solidarity with their fellow students at Columbia, and with a pro-Palestinian movement that appeared to be galvanized by the pushback on other campuses and the looming end of the academic year. The demonstrations spread overseas as well, with students on campuses in Cairo, Paris and Sydney, Australia, gathering to voice support for Palestinians and opposition to the war.
Trump 2.0: How some US allies are preparing for a second term (Reuters) Germany is waging a charm offensive inside the Republican Party. Japan is lining up its own Trump whisperer. Mexican government officials are talking to Camp Trump. And Australia is busy making laws to help Trump-proof its U.S. defense ties. Everywhere, U.S. allies are taking steps to defend or advance their interests in the event former President Donald Trump returns to power in November elections, an even chance based on recent opinion polls in swing states. They want to avoid the cold slap that Trump’s “America First” policies dealt them last time around, which included trade wars, a shakeup of security alliances, an immigration crackdown and the withdrawal from a global climate accord.
Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry resigns, allowing U.N. force, elections (Washington Post) Embattled Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has submitted his resignation, clearing the way for a new government to accept the deployment of a U.N.-approved security force and lead this beleaguered Caribbean nation to elections. Henry is to be succeeded by Finance Minister Michel Patrick Boisvert, who has been leading the government since Henry left the country on a diplomatic trip two months ago. Boisvert is to work with a panel of representatives from several political parties until a new government is appointed. Henry, Haiti’s de facto leader since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, proved ineffective at reducing endemic gang violence or restoring order in the hemisphere’s poorest nation. Haiti’s presidency has been vacant since Moïse’s still-unsolved killing; its national assembly empty since the last senators’ terms expired in early 2023. Henry has been locked out of the country since February, when a coalition of armed gangs shut the airport down.
Rishi Sunak vows to boost UK defence spending (BBC) On Tuesday, U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that he would be putting the British defense (or “defence,” in this case) industry on a “war footing” by raising military spending to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the decade. “In a world that is the most dangerous it has been since the end of the Cold War, we cannot be complacent,” Sunak said in a statement. He described the new defense spending goal as the “biggest strengthening of our national defense for a generation.” The new target will cost the U.K. about 75 billion pounds ($93 billion) over the next six years. He also announced a 500 million pound ($620 million) aid package for Ukraine.
Portugal’s democracy turns 50 (Reuters) Thousands are expected to take to the streets to celebrate the 50th anniversary on Thursday of Portugal’s “Carnation Revolution” that toppled the longest fascist dictatorship in Europe and ushered in democracy. Antonio Oliveira Salazar ruled Portugal from 1932 to 1968, but the regime lasted for a further six years under successor Marcelo Caetano, only crumbling on April 25, 1974. The almost bloodless revolution was conducted by a group of junior army officers who wanted democracy and to put an end to long-running wars against independence movements in the African colonies of Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau. The military coup by the “April’s Captains” group touched off rapid decolonisation, ending more than five centuries of Portuguese empire in Africa.
Ukraine uses long-range missiles secretly provided by US to hit Russian-held areas, officials say (AP) Ukraine for the first time has begun using long-range ballistic missiles provided secretly by the United States, bombing a Russian military airfield in Crimea last week and Russian forces in another occupied area overnight, American officials said Wednesday. Long sought by Ukrainian leaders, the new missiles give Ukraine nearly double the striking distance—up to 300 kilometers (190 miles)—that it had with the mid-range version of the weapon that it received from the U.S. last October. For months, the U.S. resisted sending Ukraine the long-range missiles out of concern that Kyiv could use them to hit deep into Russian territory, enraging Moscow and escalating the conflict. That was a key reason the administration sent the mid-range version, with a range of about 160 kilometers (roughly 100 miles), in October instead.
A Gen Z Resistance, Cut Off From Data Plans (NYT) In the night, the mountain air not quite chill enough to still the insects, young people gathered around a glow. The light attracting them was not a phone screen, that electric lure for people almost everywhere, but a bonfire. From around the blaze, music radiated. Fingers strummed a guitar. Voices layered lyrics about love, democracy and, most of all, revolution. Moths courted the flame, sparking when they veered too close, then swooning to their deaths. For months now, these hills of Karenni State in eastern Myanmar have been severed from modern communications. The military junta that seized power in a coup three years ago, plunging the country into civil war, has cut off the populations most opposed to its brutal rule. In these resistance strongholds, where people from around the nation have congregated, there is almost no internet, cell service or even electricity. Locals play music to pass the time.
Syria’s child soldiers (Daraj) After more than a decade of war in Syria, where some 90% of the population now lives in poverty, children are working as fighters for the armed factions to help feed their families. To feed his family, Marwan Qaiquni had no other option but to have his two children, Rabah and Shehadeh, to work as day soldiers with the armed opposition groups in northwestern Syria. Rabah and Shehadeh, who earn up to $4 a day, guard Turkish military points or are stationed on the first and second front lines. The brothers are among hundreds of children and adults who have resorted to such work in the war-torn country in recent years. A UN report last June said that armed groups have recruited children throughout the conflict and civil war in Syria. And that the number of children recruited has risen steadily over the past three years—from 813 in 2020 to 1,296 in 2021 and 1,696 in 2022. These children are exposed to harsh and traumatic experiences that affect their psychological and social development, said psychological researcher Ahmed Jumaa.
Signs Suggest That Invasion of Rafah Is All but Inevitable (NYT) After weeks of delays, negotiations and distractions, Israel appeared to hint this week that its assault of Rafah—a city teeming with displaced persons above ground and riddled with Hamas tunnels below—was all but inevitable. In what some analysts and residents of the city saw as a sign of preparations for an invasion, an Israeli military official on Tuesday gave some details that include relocating civilians to a safe zone a few miles away along the Mediterranean coast. Just a day earlier, Israeli warplanes bombed Rafah, increasing fears among some of the civilians sheltering there that a ground assault would soon follow. Such indicators that Israel may be preparing an invasion, said Marwan Shaath, a 57-year-old resident of Rafah, “are terrifying and mean they may really be close to starting an operation.” “Our bags have been packed for months now for the time of the evacuation.” Israel insists that a push into Rafah is necessary for achieving its goals of eliminating the militants sheltering in a network of tunnels beneath the city, capturing or killing Hamas leaders presumed to be there and ensuring the release of the remaining hostages captured during the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.
Hamas official says group would lay down its weapons if a two-state solution is implemented (AP) A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders. The comments by Khalil al-Hayya in an interview Wednesday came amid a stalemate in months of cease-fire talks. The suggestion that Hamas would disarm appeared to be a significant concession by the militant group officially committed to Israel’s destruction. But it’s unlikely Israel would consider such a scenario. It has vowed to crush Hamas following the deadly Oct. 7 attacks that triggered the war, and its current leadership is adamantly opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state on lands Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war.
Climate change is bringing malaria to new areas. In Africa, it never left (AP) When a small number of cases of locally transmitted malaria were found in the United States last year, it was a reminder that climate change is reviving or migrating the threat of some diseases. But across the African continent malaria has never left, killing or sickening millions of people. Globally, malaria cases are on the rise. Infections increased from 233 million in 2019 to 249 million in 85 countries in 2022. Malaria deaths rose from 576,000 in 2019 to 608,000 in 2022, according to the World Health Organization. Of the 12 countries that carry about 70% of the global burden of malaria, 11 are in Africa and the other is India. Children under 5 constituted 80% of the 580,000 malaria deaths recorded in Africa in 2022.
Compassion is making a comeback in America (Vox) In 2011, a landmark study led by researcher Sara Konrath examined the trends in those surveys. The analysis revealed that American empathy had plummeted: The average US college student in 2009 reported feeling less empathic than 75 percent of students three decades earlier ... A few months ago, she and her colleagues published an update to their work: They found that empathy among young Americans is rebounding, reaching levels indistinguishable from the highs of the 1970s. For all their horrors, hard times can bring people together. In her beautiful book, A Paradise Built in Hell, Rebecca Solnit chronicles disasters including San Francisco’s 1906 and 1989 earthquakes, Hurricane Katrina, and 9/11. In the wake of these catastrophes, kindness ticked up, strangers stepping over lines of race and class to help one another. More recently, researchers chronicled a “pandemic of kindness,” as donations to charity and volunteering increased in the face of COVID-19.

With out an intervention on fuel markets “we’re risking a large deindustrialisation of the European continent and the long-term penalties of that may truly be very deep”, Alexander De Croo advised the Monetary Instances. Belgium is among the EU international locations which have known as for a ceiling on the worth of wholesale fuel for the reason that spring. The proposal had been resisted by the European Fee, fearing that fuel exporters might ship much-needed provides to higher-paying areas, however on Wednesday it recommended it might again the thought. De Croo stated a layered strategy to fuel costs needs to be taken. This included a tough cap on the worth of Russian fuel, bilateral negotiations with pleasant suppliers equivalent to Norway and Algeria, and a dynamic restrict on the worth of liquefied pure fuel that may very well be pegged far sufficient above costs within the US or Asia to make sure continued flows to Europe. He additionally known as for a “solidarity mechanism” to make sure provides to international locations that also obtain Russian fuel, equivalent to Austria and Greece, within the occasion that the Kremlin retaliates by reducing remaining fuel exports to Europe. Fee president Ursula von der Leyen signalled in a letter to European leaders on Wednesday that assist from a wider base of EU member states meant that Brussels was prepared to maneuver ahead with a fuel value cap. However she stated it will must be accompanied by greater obligatory cuts to fuel consumption than the 15 per cent voluntary discount agreed by EU ministers in July. “Extra demanding fuel financial savings obligations will must be ready,” she wrote. In 2021, Europe obtained 155bn cubic metres of fuel from Russia, about 40 per cent of its complete imports. That has fallen to 9 per cent in current weeks as Moscow has steadily minimize off provides. To counter the affect, the EU has signed off a sequence of plans to cut back fuel demand and assist industries and customers underneath strain from excessive electrical energy costs, that are pegged to the price of fuel.

I perceive that persons are indignant . . . individuals don’t have the means to pay it.” Really helpful Nationwide assist packages, equivalent to a €200bn German plan introduced final week, risked “degrading” the only market, he added. One of many choices von der Leyen recommended to decrease costs was to roll out a mannequin utilized in Spain and Portugal, which caps the worth of fuel used for electrical energy consumption, throughout the EU. However a number of member states have identified that it will solely enhance demand at a time when Europe must protect provides. Total EU fuel demand has diminished by 8 per cent between January and September in contrast with the identical interval final 12 months, in keeping with information revealed on Thursday by Brussels think-tank Bruegel. Nevertheless, consumption had elevated in sure international locations equivalent to Spain and Greece due to their limits on fuel costs, Bruegel stated. The Belgian premier warned that the Iberian mannequin additionally risked “leakage” as electrical energy importers would acquire from decrease costs.
