These solutions were presented during a meeting held on Thursday in Luanda, in a promotion of the Union of Small and Medium Enterprises of Angola (UPME).
For Beatriz Franck, head of UPME, the Angolan government failed to contemplate, at this stage of the covid -19, entrepreneurs in fiscal relief.
Beatriz Frank said that entrepreneurs has suffered with the emergence of the pandemic of covid-19, leading many, in the last two months, to pay only 50% of the salary of their workers.
\"Our concerns will reach the President of the Republic who will find the best solutions for this sector that contributes a lot to the national economy,\" the head of UPME said.
UPME integrates 208 entrepreneurs, which makes up a total of 4,000 workers.
Niger, in West Africas Sahara region, is four-fifths the size of Alaska. It is surrounded by Mali, Algeria, Libya, Chad, Nigeria, Benin, and Burkina Faso. The Niger River in the southwest flows through the countrys only fertile area. Elsewhere the land is semiarid.
Republic, emerging from military rule.
The nomadic Tuaregs were the first inhabitants in the Sahara region. The Hausa (14th century), Zerma (17th century), Gobir (18th century), and Fulani (19th century) also established themselves in the region now called Niger.
Niger was incorporated into French West Africa in 1896. There were frequent rebellions, but when order was restored in 1922, the French made the area a colony. In 1958, the voters approved the French constitution and voted to make the territory an autonomous republic within the French Community. The republic adopted a constitution in 1959 but the next year withdrew from the Community, proclaiming its independence.
During the 1970s, the countrys economy flourished due to uranium production, but when uranium prices fell in the 1980s, its brief period of prosperity ended. The drought of 1968–1975 devastated the country. An estimated 2 million people were starving in Niger, but 200,000 tons of imported food—half U.S.-supplied— substantially ended famine conditions.
The 1974 army coup ousted President Hamani Diori, who had held office since 1960. The new president, Lt. Col. Seyni Kountché, chief of staff of the army, installed a 12-man military government. A predominantly civilian government was formed by Kountché in 1976.
In 1993, the countrys first multiparty election resulted in the presidency of Ousmane Mahamane, who was then deposed in a Jan. 1996 coup. In July, the military leader of the coup, Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara, was declared president in a rigged election. Considered a corrupt and ineffectual president, Maïnassara was assassinated in April 1999 by his own guards. The National Reconciliation Council, responsible for the coup, kept its promise and held democratic elections; in Nov.
As protests and unrest continued to sweep the country in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month, Floyd’s brother Terrence Floyd urged protesters to remain peaceful and push for change another way: by voting.
Floyd’s comments came amid more than a week of protests across the country demanding justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other victims of police violence.
Former Pres. Barack Obama addressed the connection he saw between George Floyd and voting in an essay posted online this week titled, “How to Make this Moment the Turning Point for Real Change.”
In remarks at Philadelphia City Hall on Tuesday, Biden himself addressed the killing of George Floyd.
In Minneapolis this week, organizers with Reclaim the Block, an activist group that pushes for money from the police budget to be redistributed to community needs and resources, has been urging their local City Council officials to reduce the Minneapolis Police Department budget by $45 million and reallocate the money to community programs.
This has been building in Minneapolis for years, and it likely started boiling as protesters reminded us, in December of 1990 with the murder of Tycel Nelson by cowardly Minneapolis cop Dan May, who ironically is still with the department as a high-ranking instructor.
Black people in this city have been not only beaten down by the cops, brutalized, marginalized and disrespected, but have been forced to beg for crumbs from a large buffet.
Every year the last six years around Thanksgiving—as if it is a part of the holiday—in Minneapolis, headlines blare that yet another study has concluded that Minneapolis is in the top five of the worst places to live for Black people.
That’s right; while White people are living better than other White people, Black people in the Twin cities are worse off than Black folks in the rest of the country.
Eventually, yes, one day, the people oppressed by this lowdown, filthy, rotten, murderous system will educate themselves, analyze, organize and mobilize until they find a way to bring about a change that will allow BLACK, BROWN, RED, YELLOW, IMMIGRANT, MUSLIM, GAY, TRANS STRAIGHT, MALE, FEMALE, ALL OF THE 99% to live and be recognized as human beings, in a society of human beings.

Jabbar, the all-time leading scorer in NBA history who earned six world titles, boycotted the 1968 Olympics in the wake of social unrest and the aftermath of the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In a live interview with the BlackPressUSA, Jabbar said he believes the murder of George Floyd by police and the subsequent protests around the globe, signal a sea change.
“Across America, people of all descriptions got an understanding of what it means to be a Black American, to be singled out and discriminated against,” Jabbar said during the interview, co-hosted by Brandon Brooks, Managing Editor of the Los Angeles Sentinel.
Jabbar commended his fellow athletes for their history of activism, including LeBron James, who has spoken out about Floyd’s murder.
“It is really important for athletes, especially those in African-American communities and communities of color, to speak out because the young people in those communities look up to athletes as the people that set the tone and have the knowledge and courage to do what is right,” Jabbar insisted.
