By AARON FAVILA Associated Press MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A fast-moving typhoon blew away from the Philippines on Monday after leaving at least 13 people missing, forcing thousands of villagers to flee to safety and flooding rural villages, disaster-response officials said. The 13 people missing from Typhoon Molave included a dozen fishermen who ventured out to sea over the weekend despite a no-sail restriction due to very rough seas. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The typhoon was blowing west toward the South China Sea with sustained winds of 125 kilometers (77 miles) per hour and gusts of up […]

With just days until the Ivory Coast presidential election, campaigning is unusually quiet this year as the spectres of the 2010 post-election violence, which killed thousands of people, still haunt the population.
\"Frankly you don't feel an upcoming election in the countryside, because people are fearful. Everyone just has to go and get their voter card to vote, that's what is essential,\" one voter told Africanews.
\"Our neighborhood is Williamsville. No one said to my brothers and sisters let's go and campaign, No one did,\" said another.
The posters of incumbent Alassane Ouattara, who is seeking a controversial third term are not as visible as in the 2010 and 2015 votes.
Posters of Konan Kouadio Bertin, his only campaigning opponent are even rarer.
More than 7.5 million voters are expected to cast their ballots on Saturday but violence has already flared in some regions, over Ouattara's decision to run again.
National observers fear the insecurity could cause a high abstention rate.
Ouattara has been in power for nearly a decade. After his heir-apparent died unexpectedly, the incumbent president said he would run for a third term.
Ouattara insists that his first two terms do not count toward term limits because Ivory Coast has approved a new constitution.
Opposition activists want Ouattara disqualified from the election. ECOWAS advised a meeting between the president and Bertin but so far they only reportedly spoke on the phone on Sunday.
\"When an election is organized and the leaders who decide to boycott the elections and whoever decides to go to the elections, goes independent, he has no structure, he has no political apparatus, of course, there is no enthusiasm,'' said Professor Mahomet N’Guessann, Senior Lecturer in Political History, University of Cocody.
As British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan once said it, there’s a “wind of change' blowing through the African continent. “Whether we like it or not,” he said, “this growth of national consciousness is a political [...]
By JAY REEVES BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Alabama voters once again have the chance to remove the racist language of Jim Crow from the state's constitution, which was approved in 1901 to enshrine white supremacy as state law. Courts have long since struck down legalized segregation, but past attempts to strip the offensive phrases have failed. Even though no organized opposition to the measure has emerged this time, some worry that conservative backlash to the Black Lives Matter movement could quash the proposal, which qualified for the ballot months before the nationwide demonstrations that occurred in the wake of the […]

editorial comment ON Saturday Zimbabwe woke up to shocking news that government had given public schools the nod to hike third term school fees up to $55 000 from $3 000. This would be a joke if it was not a serious matter considering this has been a difficult year. Poor rains meant that parents earning a living from farming failed to generate enough to keep their families away from hunger. Parents in formal employment, like their counterparts running small businesses, have been affected by firm closures and reduced business triggered by the explosion of COVID-19 pandemic. Even before the pandemic struck in March, Zimbabweans were in the eye of a raging economic storm. Foreign currency and power shortages were among the factors that were wreaking havoc to our fragile economy. It does not need a rocket scientist to see that this has been a terrible and wasted year. Government has failed to get teachers back to work because it is reluctant to listen to very genuine grievances. They want a living wage to fire up their morale to teach our children. But apart from threats, government has done little to hear them out. So, the chaos that rocked schools since examination classes returned on September 28 continues. There are no lessons taking place. More children are returning to school today and will face classes without teachers. Now, an average Zimbabwean earning under $5 000 per month is being forced to pay $55 000 to a school that is not operating. This is impossible. Primary and Secondary Education minister Cain Mathema knew this when he approved the fees. We wonder what was in his mind. He must be out of touch with reality, or he is trying to please someone. But it does not work that way, minister. It is such ill-thought decisions by ministers that make the government appear out of touch with the realities its people are facing. It’s like the ministers live in some utopian fantasy and confine citizens to dystopian existence. Mathema needs to rethink his school fees decision fast. He must explain if his strategy is to eliminate the poor from Zimbabwe’s once prosperous education system and make education a preserve for the elite. We remind him that it is this segregation that inspired Zimbabwe’s wars of liberation from 1893 to 1980. We must not revert to the same plight because Mathema is determined to turn a blind eye to the reality parents are facing.
