Abiy's government and the regional one run by the Tigray People's Liberation Front each consider the other illegitimate.
\t There was no immediate word from the three AU envoys, former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former Mozambique President Joaquim Chissano and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe. AU spokeswoman Ebba Kalondo did not say whether they can meet with TPLF leaders, something Abiy's office has rejected.
\"``Not possible,'' senior Ethiopian official Redwan Hussein said in a message to the AP. ``\"Above all, TPLF leadership is still at large.'' He called reports that the TPLF had appointed an envoy to discuss an immediate cease-fire with the international community ``masquerading.''
\t Fighting reportedly remained well outside the Tigray capital of Mekele, a densely populated city of a half-million people who have been warned by the Ethiopian government that they will be shown ``no mercy'' if they don't distance themselves from the region's leaders.
\t Tigray has been almost entirely cut off from the outside world since Nov. 4, when Abiy announced a military offensive in response to a TPLF attack on a federal army base.
That makes it difficult to verify claims about the fighting, but humanitarians have said at least hundreds of people have been killed.
\t The fighting threatens to destabilize Ethiopia, which has been described as the linchpin of the strategic Horn of Africa.
\t With transport links cut, food and other supplies are running out in Tigray, home to 6 million people, and the United Nations has asked for immediate and unimpeded access for aid.

NNPA NEWSWIRE — We owe a debt of gratitude to Sen. Cory Booker and Rep. Karen Bass for their tireless efforts to reach an agreement, despite the lack of willing partners on the other side. We will hold accountable those who undermined the process by yielding to fringe elements when a workable deal was on the table and likely to be embraced by many racial justice advocates and mainstream law enforcement organizations alike.

Rev. Theodore S. Wright, (1797-1847) was born to free parents in Providence, Rhode Island. By the 1830s Wright was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in New York City and a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Wright, a dedicated abolitionist, attended the New York State Anti-Slavery Society convention held in Utica, on September 20, 1837. However he also recognized the growing racial prejudice directed against free blacks in the North. In the speech below Wright supported a resolution introduced into the convention which said anti-black prejudice was nefarious and wicked and should be practically reprobated and discountenanced. His speech appears below.
Mr. President, with much feeling do I rise to address the society on this resolution, and I should hardly have been induced to have done it had I not been requested. I confess I am personally interested in this resolution. But were it not for the fact that none can feel the lash but those who have it upon them, that none know where the chain galls but those who wear it, I would not address you.
This is a serious business, sir. The prejudice which exists against the colored man, the free man is like the atmosphere, everywhere felt by him. It is true that in these United States and in this State, there are men, like myself, colored with the skin like my own, who are not subjected to the lash, who are not liable to have their wives and their infants torn from them; from whose hand the Bible is not taken. It is true that we may walk abroad; we may enjoy our domestic comforts, our families; retire to the closet; visit the sanctuary, and may be permitted to urge on our children and our neighbors in well doing. But sir, still we are slaves—every where we feel the chain galling us. It is by that prejudice which the resolution condemns, the spirit of slavery, the law which has been enacted here, by a corrupt public sentiment, through the influence of slavery which treats moral agents different from the rule of God, which treats them irrespective of their morals

From this month, this column will occasionally highlight stories of key moments in West Indies cricket since 2000.Dubbed “From the Archives”, it starts with an amazing U-turn by former captain and ace batsman Brian Lara, ahead of the tour to England in 2000, which featured five Test matches.Whether or not his sudden, sensational change of mind had a sense of occasion attached to it with Mother’s Day in the air, Brian Lara’s decision to “ambush” the West Indies selectors on a late night and place his name in the 16-man squad for the June to September tour to England was a very serious issue.

Une silhouette de dandy et une exubérance bon enfant font partie des traits dominants de cet artiste dans l’âme qui a tout essayé avant de se trouver un souffle de trouvère. Et comme ceux de sa lignée, ‘’Tijoe’’ s’est manifesté dans l’arène musicale à une époque charnière de la musique urbaine du terroir. Entre les modules natifs ; s’entrecroisant aux sonorités world beat. Il se trouve d’intérêt pour les claviers dont il explore les dessous. Parcourant les ‘’jam-sessions’’ improvisés en accompagnateur ‘’bouche trou’’ dans l’espoir de se caser dans un ensemble quelconque. L’opportunité s’est offerte, lorsqu’il a pris part au ralliement de quelques aspirants musiciens tels : le guitariste Lhoman Jean, le bassiste Stanley Hérissé et le précoce claviériste maestro David Dupoux en compagnie desquels Joseph Jr a décidé de jeter les bases du nouveau-né « Konpa kreyòl ».
BY TAWANDA TAFIRENYIKA ZIFA believe that their general-secretary Joseph Mamutse should be allowed to resume work by operation of law after he filed a notice of appeal against his suspension. Mamutse was suspended by the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) board to institute investigations into alleged irregularities in the clearance of national football teams to tournaments in South Africa. The country’s sports regulatory body also suspended its director-general Prince Mupazviriho over similar allegations. However, Zifa has demanded Mamutse’s reinstatement, arguing that his ban was unlawful and unprocedural. Mamutse has since filed a notice of appeal and it is Zifa’s contention that by operation of law, he should be back at work. The country’s soccer controlling body has written to SRC to confirm the position so that he can be allowed to return to work. Zifa lawyer Chenaimoyo Gumiro, however, said SRC has not responded to their request. “He (Mamutse) filed a notice of appeal to SRC and by operation of law, that sets aside his suspension. We have, therefore, written to SRC to confirm this position so that he can be allowed to resume duties, but we have not received response. So we will have to follow it up again,” he said. The football federation views SRC’s actions as a violation of Fifa statutes which require member associations to run their affairs independently without undue influence from third parties. They have since approached the Administrative Court. A Fifa suspension would mean national teams and local clubs would be banned from playing in international competitions, and funding would cease until reinstatement was granted. However, SRC insist they are empowered by the constitution to act as they did — suspending the football administrator and that their decision was in the interests of the national game. lFollow Tawanda on Twitter @tawatafi
