3214354	有图 <p>The news of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s passing hit me with a deep, personal sadness. Even as I submit completely to the will of the Almighty, I cannot help but reflect on the life of a man I came to know closely — a principled, selfless leader who gave up personal comfort in his quest to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy and its institutions.</p><p>Often misunderstood by many, President Buhari was deeply committed to the welfare of the ordinary citizen and worked tirelessly for their upliftment. Nigeria has not only lost a former President but a statesman whose unwavering commitment to justice for the poor and the unity of our nation defined his legacy.</p> <p>I had the rare privilege of knowing President Muhammadu Buhari at close quarters. He often referred to me as his “neighbour,” having once acquired a plot of land directly behind his house in Daura. President Buhari was famously blunt — he spoke his mind without embellishment or sugar-coating.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>Over the course of my career, I interviewed him on several occasions. Despite our familiarity, I never hesitated to ask him the most difficult and probing questions. One such moment came in the lead-up to the 2015 general elections, when all signs pointed to his impending victory. Surrounded by members of his media team, I asked him directly: How could a former military dictator reinvent himself as a democratic civilian president?</p><p>His media aides quickly tried to intervene and stop him from responding, but he waved them off and insisted they let me do my job. He didn’t just allow the question — he welcomed it. That was Buhari: unafraid of scrutiny, never too proud to be questioned.</p><p>Even as President of the largest Black nation on earth, Muhammadu Buhari embodied humility and simplicity. He lived an austere life, owning only two known houses — one in Daura and the other in Kaduna. Behind his reserved demeanour, he possessed a sharp and often wicked sense of humour, appreciated only by those who knew him well.</p><p>I recall vividly an encounter shortly after I assumed office as the Director-General of FRCN. I visited him in his Presidential office to seek his counsel. Having spent most of my career outside Nigeria — apart from brief stints as a graduate assistant at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) and Bayero University, Kano (BUK) — I felt it was wise to draw from his wealth of experience.</p><p>During our conversation, he shared a striking insight: “There is nothing harder than governing Nigerians,” he said thoughtfully. Curious, I asked why. With characteristic honesty, he explained, “For every proposal presented to me, there are several counter-proposals, leaving me with the difficult task of making the final decision.”</p><p>I couldn’t resist teasing him, reminding him that he had fought so hard for the position, finally succeeding only on his fourth attempt. He chuckled and admitted, “That is true. I even prayed deep into the nights for victory.” Then, with a wry smile, he laughed softly at what he called his own “predicament.”</p><p>May the Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him eternal rest in Jannatul Firdaus, and comfort all who mourn his passing — especially his beloved wife, Her Excellency Aisha Buhari, his children, the entire family of the late Durbin Daura, Alhaji Dauda Daura, the Daura Emirate, and the nation at large, as we come to terms with this profound loss.</p><p>Dr. Mansur Liman is a former Editor at BBC Hausa Service, and former DG of FRCN</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>News Update: Nigerians have now been approved to get paid in US Dollars, acquire Ultra-premium domains for as low as $1700 and profit $15,000 (₦24Million naira).

3214353	有图 <p>A retired Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), John Madaki, has called for the immediate removal of police retirees from the Contributory Pension Scheme, which he described as a “death sentence” for officers who served the country with dedication.</p><p>Madaki, who retired on July 1, 2009, after 35 years of service, said the scheme has not only impoverished retired officers but also contributed to the deaths of hundreds due to neglect, poor medical care, and emotional distress.</p> <p>“That scheme is killing us. As of December 2024, about 526 retired officers had died many from depression, lack of care, and the hardship caused by poor pensions. More have died this year alone, but I don’t even have the full figures,” he said in an interview.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>He lamented that despite dedicating his entire adult life to the Nigerian Police Force, he now lives in poverty, receiving only ₦61,000 monthly as pension.</p><p>“I joined the police at 17 or 18 in 1974 and gave the best part of my life to serving this nation. Yet today, I can’t afford decent food or pay my children’s school fees.”</p><p>Madaki, who also earned a law degree while in service told Daily Trust that many retired officers have been reduced to beggars.</p><p>“It’s a daily struggle. Some of us go out to beg. Retired officers troop into my office just to ask for ₦1,500 to buy medicine. Some are earning as low as ₦18,000 monthly.”</p><p>He described the pension disparity between military and police retirees as unjust.</p><p>“My counterparts in the military receive between ₦250,000 and ₦300,000 monthly, while some retired Commissioners of Police earn just ₦69,000. It’s shameful.”</p><p>Madaki, who is one of the leaders of Retired Police officers Association in Kaduna, appealed to the government to urgently create a separate Police Pension Board, similar to what exists for the military.</p><p>“Let our pension be managed by a dedicated Police Pension Board. PENCOM is eating our money while junior officers there collect over ₦1 million monthly from the same funds that should be ours.”</p><p>“We served and protected this country under rain and sun, and now we’re left to suffer. The government used us in our prime and abandoned us in our old age.</p><p>“Scrap the Contributory Pension Scheme for the police. It has become a death sentence for those who gave everything to Nigeria,” he said.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>News Update: Nigerians have now been approved to get paid in US Dollars, acquire Ultra-premium domains for as low as $1700 and profit $15,000 (₦24Million naira).

3214352	有图 <p>Nigeria’s inflation rate has continued to cool, falling to 22.22 per cent in June from 22.97 per cent in May 2025. This represents a 0.75 per cent decline. Compared to June 2024, when inflation stood at 34.19 per cent, the new figure marks a significant 11.97 per cent drop and a pullback from last year’s inflation spiral. The inflation rate drop was largely driven by the rebasing and positive outcome of key reforms instituted by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which triggered continued FX stability, spike in foreign reserves to $37.43 billion in the second week of July.</p><p>In recent months, there has been significant improvement in macroeconomic indicators as seen in the moderation in inflation rate and growth in foreign reserves.</p> <p>These macroeconomic advantages include the progressive narrowing of the gap between the official and parallel market rates as well as positive balance of payments.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>The FX reforms, instituted by the Olayemi Cardoso-led Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), new policies instituted by the Federal Government to boost local production, reduce forex demand pressure, and lessen domestic prices have been instrumental to macroeconomic stability.</p> 2027: Emir of Daura gives reasons for endorsing President Tinubu for second term LP crisis: Datti attends Abure-led NEC meeting<p>The expectations are that the apex bank sustains the forex reforms while the fiscal authority strengthens efforts at enhancing FX earnings, especially from gas, oil and non-oil exports.</p><p>Analysts said such moves will be sustaining inflation drop as seen in the last report released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) which revealed that the annual headline inflation eased by 0.75 per cent to 22.22 per cent in June from 22.97 per cent in May. The drop was largely driven by base effects, continued FX stability, and minimal volatility in energy prices.</p><p>Domestic economy / capital inflows</p><p>The domestic economy shows that economic activity remained on a firm upward trajectory in Q2-25, supported by easing inflationary pressures and naira stability, both of which have strengthened business confidence and production.</p><p>The CBN composite Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) averaged 52.2 points in Q2-25 indicating broad-based expansion across the agriculture, industry, and services sectors.</p><p>In emailed report to investors, analysts from Cordros Securities said: “ We expect inflation to remain on a downward trend, especially as the naira is projected to remain stable. Additionally, we expect petroleum product prices to remain stable, supported by low global oil prices, which should help maintain steady transportation costs”.</p><p>They explained that capital inflows have equally rebounded since global financial pressures eased in May. The elevated naira yields and a stable FX market continued to attract foreign portfolio investments and bolster investor confidence.</p><p>Specifically, inflows from foreign investors surged by 315 per cent to $2.73 billion in June, the highest since March 2019, from $657.4 million in April, with Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) inflows accounting for 97.2 per cent of total foreign inflows. The rebound in inflows led to a decline in CBN interventions in forex market as demand pressures waned.</p><p>On the other hand, the FX reserves stood at $37.43 billion on July 11, despite relatively stronger CBN market intervention this year and external debt servicing as well as weak oil receipts. The current reserves position could provide nearly 10 months of import cover and support the country’s drive for stronger economy.</p><p>Looking ahead, the analysts expect robust FX liquidity from both foreign and local sources, driven by strong market confidence, to continue supporting naira stability in the near term.</p><p>Looking ahead, analysts expect headline inflation to ease further in July, supported by a moderation in both food and core inflation components.</p><p>“Specifically, we anticipate the slowdown in food prices to be supported by improved market supply from early green harvests and the relative stability of the naira, which is expected to reduce pressure on imported food prices. Similarly, core inflation is projected to remain broadly stable, supported by a reduced exchange rate pass-through effect and steady energy prices,” they said.</p><p>Multiple FX sources activated</p><p>The CBN under Cardoso is cultivating multiple FX sources to increase dollar inflows, boost dollar access to manufacturers and retail end users.</p><p>From moves to improve diaspora remittances through new product development, the granting licenses to new International Money Transfer Operators (IMTOs), implementing a willing buyer-willing seller FX model, and enabling timely access to naira liquidity for IMTOs, the apex bank has simplified dollar-inflow channels for authorized dealers and other players in the value chain.</p><p>The move has led to substantial accretion to the gross FX reserves and supported the stability of the naira.</p><p>Given that FX inflows to the economy are strategic in achieving monetary and fiscal policy stability, the CBN under Cardoso puts in a lot of efforts in attracting more inflows into the economy.</p><p>Diaspora remittances to Nigeria, estimated at $23 billion annually remain a reliable source of forex to the domestic economy. There are also other sources and policies that are being explored by the apex bank to keep dollar inflows coming.</p><p>The CBN’s initiatives have supported continued growth in these inflows, aligning with the institution’s objective of doubling formal remittance receipts within a year.</p><p>The remittances in the economy is expected to increase based on CBN’s ongoing efforts to bolster public confidence in the foreign exchange market, strengthen a robust and inclusive banking system, and promote price stability, which is essential for sustained economic growth.</p><p>Director of Trading at Verto, Charlie Bird, said dollar liquidity dynamic is now more balanced, with foreign investors and airlines able to repatriate funds.</p><p>Speaking during Cordros Asset Management seminar titled: “The Naira Playbook”, he said Nigeria is now darling of foreign investors because of improved dollar liquidity in the economy due to positive CBN’s reforms.</p><p>Oil production rise aids disinflation</p><p>In emailed report, Managing Director, Afrinvest West Africa, Ike Chioke, said crude oil production data from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), captured the OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report (MOMR), and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).</p><p>“Starting with the crude oil production related subject, both the NUPRC data and OPEC’s monthly oil report affirmed that Nigeria’s daily average crude oil production improved by 3.6 per cent month-on-month in June 2025 to 1.5 million barrels per day (mbpd).”</p><p>“By adding condensate, total output cleared at 1.7mbpd, marking a 2.4% increase in average crude oil and condensate production over the previous month. The June crude oil production performance marked the second highest monthly average in 2025, with January’s 1.54mbpd performance (1.74mbpd including condensate) still the strongest,” he said.</p><p>According to him, output rebound from major terminals – Forcados (up 9.5 per cent m/m to 8.8mbpd), Odudu (up nine per cent m/m 20 2.1mbpd), Qua Iboe (up 2.3 per cent to 5.1mbpd), and Bonny (up one per cent to 7.2mbpd) – more than offset losses from Brass (down 15 per cent m/m to 0.9mbpd), Escravos (down 8.7 per cent m/m to 4.2mbpd), and Tulja-Okwuiboime (down 4.5 per cent m/m to 2.1mbpd) terminals.</p><p>“Contextualising the economic impact of the modest improvement in the crude oil production level for the month (excluding condensate as there is no formal pricing guide), we estimate that Nigeria earned a daily average revenue of $105.0m in June from its crude oil production (given average price of $69.73/bbl), representing a 13.6 per cent improvement over May. Relative to the prior five months, our estimate suggests that the daily average revenue for June is the third highest after January ($122.3m at average price of $79.46/bbl) and February ($112.5m at average price of $76.81/bbl),” he said.</p><p>Bringing all of this together, we maintain our position in the recently published H2:2025 outlook report that Consumer Price Index rebasing impact on the base year would largely support a sustained decline in the headline inflation rate till the end of Q3’2025, thereby causing a divergence between statistical reading and consumers’ experience on the street.</p><p>“Against this backdrop, our model projects the headline rate to ease to 21.6 per cent in July, though m/m reading is expected to increase to 1.75 per cent as against 1.68 per cent in June,” Chioke stated.</p><p>As naira rallies, import costs to dip</p><p>Import costs have been tipped to drop significantly as the naira continues to gain more ground across markets.</p><p>The naira appreciated significantly last week, strengthening from N1,580 to N1,530 per dollar, a gain of about 3.25 per cent at the parallel markets. The local currency exchanged at N1,536 per dollar at the official markets, creating N6 per dollar rate gaps between both markets.</p><p>Importation costs in Nigeria include various taxes and charges, primarily import duties, VAT, and other levies. These costs are calculated based on the CIF value (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) of the goods, which includes the cost of the goods, insurance, and shipping.</p><p>The cost, insurance and freight (CIF) price is the price of a good delivered at the frontier of the importing country, or the price of a service delivered to a resident, before the payment of any import duties or other taxes on imports or trade and transport margins within the country.</p><p>Changes in exchange rate can significantly impact the cost of imports, as duties and other charges are often calculated based on the prevailing exchange rate.</p><p>Nigeria’s total Imports in 2024 were valued at $40.97 billion, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade. Nigeria’s main import partners were: China, Belgium and India</p><p>New figures from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reveal that Nigerian imported food and beverages worth N1.67 trillion ($1 billion) during the first quarter of 2025 (January–March), reflecting a five per cent increase from the N1.59 trillion recorded over the same period in 2024.</p><p>Analysts from Cordros Securities said the naira appreciation helped cushion the impact of the spike in imported fuel prices triggered by tensions in the Middle East.</p><p>“We expect FX liquidity to remain robust, supported by reduced global pressures and stronger market confidence, which continues to attract inflows from foreign portfolio investors (FPIs). Additionally, a stronger net FX reserve position enhances the CBN’s capacity to intervene when necessary. Barring any unexpected shocks, we anticipate that the naira will remain stable in the near term,” they said.</p><p>While Nigeria is making strides toward fuel self-sufficiency, it still relies on imports, as seen in the reduced import bill for the first quarter. This indicates a decline in fuel imports but not a complete elimination.</p><p>Already, trade tensions have softened from the tariff hike announcements in April. The US President paused the implementation of reciprocal tariffs, allowing countries to negotiate lower tariffs for 90 days, which was recently extended to August 1.</p><p>Three countries, including the UK, China, and Vietnam, have so far reached a deal with the US to lower tariffs, while a few other countries remain in active discussions with the US on new trade arrangements.</p><p>Despite renewed tariff threats from the US, market volatility has been relatively subdued compared to the heightened swings observed in Q2-25. Additionally, geopolitical tensions have eased after the US brokered a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran.</p><p>However, uncertainty lingers over the broader economic implications of existing tariffs and ongoing trade negotiations, posing risks to global stability.</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>News Update: Nigerians have now been approved to get paid in US Dollars, acquire Ultra-premium domains for as low as $1700 and profit $15,000 (₦24Million naira).

3214349	有图 <p>The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has told retired police officers that removing them from the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) is beyond his power, even as he assured them of ongoing efforts to improve their welfare.</p><p>On Monday, scores of aggrieved retirees stormed the National Assembly and later the force headquarters in Abuja to protest what they described as the hardship and uncertainty they have faced under the pension scheme.</p> <p>Many of the demonstrators, most of them elderly, carried placards demanding their immediate removal from the CPS.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>Addressing the protesting officers at the force headquarters, Egbetokun expressed empathy and acknowledged that the issue of poor retirement benefits is a growing concern even for those still in service.</p><p>“We all feel concerned.

I have been engaging at the highest level to ensure that something is done to improve the condition of the poor pensioner,” he said.</p><p>The police chief disclosed that he had just returned from a meeting with the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, where the welfare of retired officers was extensively discussed.</p><p>“Even right now, I was just coming from a meeting with the NSA. The subject matter is the poor pension of retired officers. There are things that we need to make to ensure that your suffering in retirement is alleviated,” he said.</p><p>Egbetokun explained that although several steps have been taken to address the issue, he preferred not to disclose the details publicly, assuring the retirees that the force is actively working on lasting solutions.</p><p>“But I just want to assure you that we empathise with you, and we are not just folding our arms. We are doing a lot to ensure that something is done,” he added.</p><p>He also warned the protesting officers against being manipulated by individuals or groups with hidden motives.</p><p>“Don’t allow the enemies of the police to use you.

International traders maintain floating storage of about two million tonnes of petroleum products just offshore. These were being sold at inflated prices, given the lack of local refining capacity.

The whole essence of Lome is to ensure that no refinery operates in Sub Saharan Africa. In fact, I don’t see any new major refining project succeeding with the offshore Lome market in existence.</p><p>He, however, said these obstacles must be dismantled through policy alignment, regional cooperation, and strong political will.</p><p>“Without political support, there is no way for any new large refinery to be built in our lifetime.</p><p>He added that across many African countries, this sector has historically been a major avenue for corruption and rent extraction.</p><p>“When you build a refinery and disrupt that system, you are not just innovating, you are threatening powerful interests that will seriously fight back.”</p><p>He went on to state that another challenge hindering inter-African trade is lack of unified standard for petroleum products.</p><p>“Unlike Europe, which has adopted harmonised fuel specifications, Africa remains fragmented. Every country has its own fuel specification standard. The fuel we produce for Nigeria cannot be sold in Cameroon or Ghana or Togo, even though we all drive the same vehicles. This lack of harmonisation benefits no one—except, of course, international traders, who thrive on arbitrage.</p><p>“For local refiners like us, it fragments the market and imposes unnecessary inefficiencies. To give one example, the diesel cloud point for Nigeria is 4 degrees. Without going into the technical details, this means that the diesel should work at a temperature of 4 degrees centigrade. Achieving this comes at a cost to us and limits the types of crude we could process. But how many places in Nigeria experience temperatures of 4 degrees? Other African countries have a more reasonable range of 7 to 12 degrees. This is a low hanging fruit which could be addressed by the regulators.”</p><p> <small>Sponsored</small><p>News Update: Nigerians have now been approved to get paid in US Dollars, acquire Ultra-premium domains for as low as $1700 and profit $15,000 (₦24Million naira).

That’s important to clarify. There’s no legal basis for me not to resume today,” she said.</p><p>“Justice Binta Nyako ruled that my suspension was excessive and unconstitutional. She cited Section 63 of the 1999 Constitution, which mandates lawmakers to attend plenary at least 181 days in a year. Denying me that opportunity is a violation of my rights and the rights of my constituents.”</p><p>She described the Senate’s action as not just illegal, but also fraudulent, stating that the document used to recommend her suspension was never formally endorsed by the Senate.</p><p>“The so-called report recommending my suspension was merely a photocopied attendance sheet of the Ethics Committee. That makes the entire process invalid from the start,” she said.</p><p>Akpoti-Uduaghan also spoke about her ordeal since raising allegations of sexual harassment, saying that the timing of her suspension—just a day after she submitted her petition—was telling.</p><p>“This is clearly persecution,” she asserted. “Why was I suspended a day after I submitted a sexual harassment petition? Why the constant attacks, threats, and even a fraudulent recall attempt? And why has the Senate President, in particular, been so hostile toward me?”</p><p>Describing Akpabio’s leadership as the “worst the Senate has ever had,” she compared his style of governance to a “third-term governor” who silences dissent and controls proceedings with fear.</p><p>“When I challenged him on the floor, it wasn’t just an outburst—it was a cry from enduring a year of institutional oppression. Many senators are afraid to speak under him. This isn’t democracy.”</p><p>She further disclosed that there were two pending federal criminal cases against her, which she described as “frivolous and meant to intimidate.”</p><p>The charges, she said, relate to alleged criminal defamation for speaking about threats to her life.</p><p>“I’m not on trial for corruption, embezzlement, drug trafficking, or murder,” she stressed. “Meanwhile, some of the witnesses against me have files at the EFCC for looting public funds. If our institutions were working, they would be in jail, not in the Senate.”</p><p>Despite the Senate’s refusal to allow her access to the chamber, Akpoti-Uduaghan said she would continue to fight legally and morally.</p><p>“We’re consulting with my legal team. We may head to the appellate court for a clearer interpretation, but as far as I’m concerned, I am no longer suspended,” she said.</p><p>She vowed not to apologise for what she described as a principled stand against abuse and injustice, and said that her commitment to her constituents had remained unshaken throughout the ordeal.</p><p>“I’ve been working for my people despite this injustice. I’m a technocrat, a lawyer, an oil and gas expert.

De hoofdproducent van het festival en de Nederlandse justitie wisten van niets. Dat schrijft Het Parool.</p> <p>Tegen de verdachte, de Zweed Alexander H., werd deze maand in Luxemburg twaalf jaar gevangenisstraf geëist, niet alleen voor het plan voor een aanslag, maar ook voor het aanzetten tot haat en lidmaatschap van een terroristische organisatie. De uitspraak volgt in november.</p> <p>H. werd op 22 februari 2020 gearresteerd in zijn huis in het Luxemburgse Strassen. Op de laptop van de destijds 18-jarige jongen vonden rechercheurs een document met gedetailleerde plannen voor een aanslag, geschreven door H. en een Nederlandse handlanger, schrijven Luxemburgse media. Verder melden ze niets over deze Nederlander.</p> Chloor en explosieven <p>In het document stonden plannen om bezoekers van het Songfestival in Rotterdam te vergiftigen met cyanide of ricine. Ook wilde H. volgens het document paniek veroorzaken met chloor, gas verspreiden via ventilatiesystemen en explosieven maken.</p> <p>Het Songfestival ging in 2020 uiteindelijk niet door vanwege coronamaatregelen. Een jaar later vond het evenement wel plaats in Rotterdam.</p> <p>In het huis van H. werden voorbereidingen gevonden voor de productie van chloor en explosieven. Ook schreef H. dat hij wilde infiltreren bij beveiligingsbedrijven in Rotterdam en dat hij nooduitgangen wilde versperren.</p> <p>Het Openbaar Ministerie in Nederland is niet bekend met de zaak. "Het betreft een zaak in Luxemburg, wij weten hier nog vrij weinig over." En een woordvoerder van de gemeente Rotterdam zegt dat de gemeente niet is ingelicht over de zaak. Ook voor hoofdproducent van het festival Sietse Bakker is dit "nieuwe informatie", zegt hij in Het Parool.</p> <p>De NPO en omroep AVROTROS zijn geschrokken van het nieuws, zegt een gezamenlijke woordvoerder tegen persbureau ANP. "We kennen deze zaak pas sinds recente mediaberichten. Deze dreiging was indertijd niet bij ons bekend.

3214339	无图 <p>"Fito", de meest beruchte drugsbaas uit Ecuador, is zondag uitgeleverd aan de VS. Hij was een maand eerder opgepakt in een bunker in een landhuis in de tropische kustprovincie Manabí, waar hij de beschikking had over een fitnessruimte en een gameroom.</p> <p>De leider van Los Choneros werd al langere tijd gezocht. Zijn ontsnapping uit de gevangenis in 2024 leidde tot een golf van geweld in het Zuid-Amerikaanse land.</p> <p>Terwijl Fito ondergedoken zat in zijn luxueuze landhuis, werd hij in april, zo"n 4700 kilometer verderop in een rechtbank in New York, aangeklaagd voor drugs- en wapenhandel. Als hij schuldig wordt bevonden, kan hij de rest van zijn leven achter Amerikaanse tralies belanden. Daarmee lijkt het runnen van een drugsbende vanuit de gevangenis of ontsnappen niet meer mogelijk.</p> Tientallen kopstukken <p>De Ecuadoraanse drugsbaas is zeker niet de enige crimineel uit Latijns-Amerika die de afgelopen jaren is uitgeleverd aan de VS. Zo leverde Mexico in februari dit jaar, ruim een maand na het aantreden van Donald Trump, maar liefst 29 kopstukken uit de Mexicaanse kartelwereld uit. Onder hen was ook Rafael Caro Quintero, die door de FBI werd gezocht vanwege de moord op de Amerikaanse DEA-agent Kiki Camarena in 1985.</p> <p>De Amerikaanse minister van Justitie Bondi zei daarbij dat zij niet eerder waren uitgeleverd, omdat de vorige Mexicaanse regering uitleveringsverzoeken van de VS niet wilde honoreren. Volgens Bondi deed de huidige Mexicaanse regering dat nu wel, omdat alle kopstukken lid waren van Mexicaanse organisaties die enkele dagen voor de uitlevering door de Amerikaanse regering als "buitenlandse terroristische organisatie" bestempeld waren.</p> Gebaar van goede wil <p>In Mexico riep de massale uitlevering vragen op. Critici spraken van een "gebaar van goede wil" van de Mexicaanse regering, die op dat moment volop in onderhandeling was met de VS over dreigende importtarieven. Een van de achterliggende motieven achter die tarieven was het feit dat Mexico, volgens de VS, te weinig deed om de kartels aan te pakken. Door massaal Mexicaanse kartelleden uit te leveren, zou Mexico willen laten zien dat ze ook aan hun kant van de grens criminaliteit hard aanpakken.</p> <p>Diplomatieke druk vanuit de VS en de pogingen van Latijns-Amerikaanse regeringen om te laten zien dat ze de aanpak van criminaliteit serieus nemen, lijken de belangrijkste redenen voor de uitleveringen. En er is de zekerheid dat de criminelen elders hun straf zullen uitzitten en waarschijnlijk niet zullen terugkeren.</p> <p>Zo wist de beruchte Mexicaanse drugs Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán twee keer uit een Mexicaanse gevangenis te ontsnappen. Nadat hij opnieuw was gearresteerd, werd hij een dag voor de inauguratie van de eerste termijn van Trump uitgeleverd aan de VS en daar zit hij nu een levenslange gevangenisstraf uit.</p> Veelvoorkomend <p>Uitlevering tussen landen komt zeer veel voor. De VS heeft uitleveringsverdragen met vrijwel alle Latijns-Amerikaanse landen. De redenen waarom criminelen worden uitgeleverd zijn vaak hetzelfde: ze zijn betrokken bij drugs- of wapenhandel op Amerikaans grondgebied of hebben elders misdaden tegen Amerikaanse staatsburgers gepleegd.</p> <p>Ook oud-politici ontkomen niet aan de lange arm van de Amerikaanse justitie: in 2022 werd Juan Orlando Hernández, oud-president van Honduras, uitgeleverd aan de VS, waar hij later een gevangenisstraf van 45 jaar kreeg vanwege zijn rol bij grootschalige drugssmokkel.</p> <p>Naast het berechten van criminelen levert uitlevering Amerikaanse opsporingsdiensten nog iets op: het zijn kopstukken met een enorme hoeveelheid kennis over de drugswereld in hun thuisland. Zo sloot Ovidio Guzmán, de zoon van El Chapo en uitgeleverd in 2023, deze maand een deal met de Amerikaanse autoriteiten. In ruil voor strafvermindering wordt verwacht dat hij de Amerikanen zal voorzien van mogelijk zeer belastende informatie over de criminele wereld in Mexico.</p> Kennis over corruptie <p>Het is die informatie waar sommige regeringsleiders bang voor zijn. In Mexico vreest men dat Mexicaanse criminelen in Amerika ook over corrupte politici en zakenmensen in hun thuisland praten.</p> <p>Die angst lijkt ook te leven bij de Salvadoraanse president Nayib Bukele. Verschillende leiders van MS-13, een beruchte straatbende in El Salvador die door de VS is aangemerkt als "terroristisch", zijn sinds het aantreden van Trump door de VS juist teruggestuurd naar El Salvador, op uitdrukkelijk verzoek van Bukele.</p> <p>In de VS zijn de vaak ernstige aanklachten tegen deze MS-13-leiders komen te vervallen, melden Amerikaanse media. Onder hen zijn Salvadoranen die belastende informatie hebben over Bukele en de deals die hij sloot met bendeleiders voor hij president werd. Voor experts in El Salvador is het duidelijk: nu zakenman Donald Trump weer in het Witte Huis zit, is uitlevering een nog prominenter onderdeel geworden van de diplomatieke onderhandelingen.</p> Waarom zoveel criminele kopstukken uit Latijns-Amerika worden uitgeleverd aan VS	查看 5081	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-22 13:34:11 2025-07-22 21:30:15	word

3214337	无图 <p>Wanneer Engeland vanavond op het punt staat om te beginnen aan de halve finale van het EK tegen Italië (aftrap 21.00 uur) zullen de speelsters voor de verandering niet knielen. Dit antiracisme-gebaar werkt niet, zo constateert de Engelse sterspeelster Lucy Bronze somber.</p> <p>Ze is "boos en bedroefd" dat haar teamgenoot Jess Carter het doelwit is geweest van racistische uitlatingen. "We moeten in het voetbal op zoek naar andere manieren om racisme te bestrijden."</p> <p>De 27-jarige verdediger Carter besloot vorige week van sociale media af te gaan, nadat ze het hele EK doelwit was geweest van racistische scheldpartijen.</p> EK voetbal bij de NOS <p>Ook de halve finales en de eindstrijd van het EK voetbal voor vrouwen in Zwitserland is te volgen bij de NOS. Alle wedstrijden zijn live te zien op televisie en via een stream op NOS.nl en in de NOS-app (ook voor je smart-tv). De laatste drie duels van het toernooi worden op NPO 1 Extra voorzien van audiodescriptie voor mensen met een visuele beperking.</p> <p>De halve finales zijn op dinsdag en woensdag, op zondag is de finale. De uitzendingen doordeweeks beginnen om 20.30 uur, de finale is met voorbeschouwing vanaf 17.22 uur te bekijken.</p> <p>Anders dan het mannenvoetbal heeft het professionele vrouwenvoetbal nooit echt last gehad van racistische spreekkoren in stadions, maar het is nooit immuun geweest voor racisme en andere haatdragende uitlatingen. Vooral de opkomst van sociale media heeft laten zien hoe taai dat gevecht nog altijd is.</p> Kick It Out <p>Arthur Wharton, een geboren Ghanees, wordt gezien als de eerste zwarte profvoetballer in de wereld. Hij speelde eind negentiende eeuw als keeper voor het Engelse Rotherham Town, maar zwarte spelers bleven nog lange tijd een zeldzaamheid op de Engelse voetbalvelden.</p> <p>Pas vanaf de jaren 70, en vooral in de jaren 80 en 90, speelde een groeiend aantal zwarte voetballers op het hoogste niveau van de Engelse mannencompetitie. Deze generatie zwarte profvoetballers had in die jaren geregeld te maken met racistische spreekoren, apengeluiden vanaf de tribunes en bananen die naar ze werden toegegooid. Anders dan nu bleef racistisch gedrag van voetbalfans grotendeels onbestraft.</p> <p>In de jaren 90 begon dat te veranderen. De Engelse voetbalbond en de vakbond voor profvoetballers lanceerden de campagne Let"s Kick Racism out of Football. Een paar jaren later werd deze campagne omgevormd tot de permanente actiegroep Kick It Out, die nog steeds actief is. Door een combinatie van voorlichting, cursussen en bewustwordingscampagnes probeerde Kick It Out racisme uit het voetbal te verbannen.</p> <p>Het kreeg daarbij hulp van de autoriteiten en de voetbalclubs die steeds harder optraden tegen racistische fans. Voetbalsupporters die zich schuldig maakten aan racisme, konden rekenen op levenslange stadionverboden, hoge boetes of zelfs gevangenisstraffen. Die gezamenlijke actie heeft de afgelopen decennia zijn vruchten afgeworpen. Racistische spreekkoren en apengeluiden komen steeds minder voor in de Engelse stadions.</p> Sociale media <p>Racisme is desondanks niet verdwenen uit het Engelse voetbal. In 2019 zag Kick It Out zich genoodzaakt om de campagne No Room for Racism op te starten, nadat ze een scherpe toename zagen van racistische uitlatingen van voetbalfans, vooral op sociale media.</p> <p>Dat laatste is een taaier gevecht voor de antiracismecampagnes. Clubs en autoriteiten hebben effectieve middelen ontwikkeld om racisme in de stadions aan te pakken, maar het is een stuk moeilijker op sociale media, waar racistische fans zich kunnen verschuilen achter anonieme accounts.</p> <p>Berucht is de verloren EK-voetbalfinale van de Engelse voetbalmannen tegen Italië in 2021. De zwarte spelers Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho en Bukayo Saka werden het doelwit van racistische uitlatingen op sociale media, nadat ze vanaf elf meter hadden gemist in de strafschoppenserie.</p> <p>Ook het vrouwenvoetbal krijgt daar in toenemende mate mee te maken. Volgens Bronze is met de groeiende populariteit ook het aantal racistische incidenten toegenomen. Kick It Out kreeg in het seizoen 2023/"24 in totaal 1.332 meldingen, een ruime verdubbeling van twee seizoen daarvoor.</p> Rumoer <p>"Het vrouwenvoetbal is groter geworden, het rumoer eromheen is groter geworden en dus krijgen we ook meer fans die kritiek hebben", zegt Bronze. "We staan natuurlijk open voor kritiek. Maar we staan niet open voor discriminatie. Vooral in het vrouwenvoetbal lijkt het racisme op het internet alleen maar erger en erger te worden."</p> <p>Wat Carter de afgelopen weken over zich heen kreeg, is dan ook niet uniek. Ook andere zwarte speelsters van het Engelse nationale elftal, zoals Lauren James, kregen de afgelopen jaren een stroom racistische uitlatingen over zich heen, zoals bij het WK van 2023. "Het houdt eigenlijk nooit op", zei ze toen.</p> <p>De "Lionesses" willen dat er meer gedaan wordt om racisme te bestrijden, een oproep die gesteund wordt door UEFA, FIFA, de National Women"s Soccer League en de Britse premier Starmer. Allemaal beloven ze meer energie te steken in de strijd tegen racisme in het vrouwenvoetbal. De Engelse voetbalbond heeft de politie ingeschakeld om op te treden tegen racistische gedrag richting Carter.</p> Koster: "Online haat kruipt onder je huid" <p>Daphne Koster is manager vrouwenvoetbal bij Ajax en lid van commissie Mijnals. Die commissie werd in 2020 opgericht door KNVB en overheid om racisme en discriminatie in het voetbal tegen te gaan. In NOS Met Het Oog Op Morgen reageert ze op racisme in het vrouwenvoetbal.</p> <p>"Ik keek er eerlijk gezegd niet van op. Het is zichtbaar gemaakt door Carter, maar ik denk dat veel sporters met een donkere huidskleur hiermee te maken hebben. Dat is heel triest. Genderdiscriminatie komt ook vaak voor. Van online haat is al langer bekend dat vrouwen er meer mee te maken hebben dan hun mannelijke collega"s."</p> <p>Een van de redenen dat vrouwen hier meer mee te maken krijgen, komt mede door hun zichtbaarheid op sociale media, denkt Koster. "Sporters zijn afhankelijk van sociale media, omdat dit ze sponsorcontracten oplevert. Als ze dan groot en zichtbaar worden, wekken ze weerstand op en worden ze gepakt worden op datgene dat het meeste pijn doet."</p> <p>Ze vindt dat iedereen een verantwoordelijkheid heeft om dit probleem aan te pakken. "Ajax heeft een gedragscode op sociale media. Met AI proberen ze dat soort berichten te weren."</p> Racisme aanpakken lukt in Engelse stadions, maar op sociale media nog niet	查看 6644	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-22 14:03:27 2025-07-22 21:30:15	word

3214332	无图 <p>De Amerikaanse regering heeft documenten over de moord op dominee en burgerrechtenactivist Martin Luther King vrijgegeven. Het gaat om 6000 stukken die samen bijna een kwart miljoen pagina"s beslaan. Ze werden in 1977 door de FBI samengebracht en sindsdien geheimgehouden.</p> <p>De documenten zijn online gezet door het Amerikaanse Nationale Archief. Er werd uitgezien naar het vrijgeven van de documenten, maar historici die de stukken al hebben bekeken, zeggen tegen The New York Times dat er weinig nieuws in te vinden is. Zo ontbreken verslagen van afluisteroperaties van de FBI en andere documenten waarvan publicatie nog tot 2027 door de rechter wordt tegengehouden.</p> <p>King was de bekendste voorvechter van gelijke rechten voor de zwarte gemeenschap in de VS in de jaren 50 en 60. De dominee stond bekend om zijn vreedzame manier van demonstreren. Hij organiseerde sit-ins en protestmarsen en gaf speeches.</p> <p>In zijn beroemde I Have a Dream-toespraak in 1963 in de hoofdstad Washington riep hij op tot een einde aan racisme en sprak hij zijn wens uit voor gelijke rechten voor iedereen. King werd op 39-jarige leeftijd op 4 april 1968 vermoord in Memphis. Hij was in de stad om stakende schoonmakers te steunen.</p> <p>In 2018, vijftig jaar na zijn dood maakten we deze special over hem:</p> <p>Twee maanden na de moord werd de vermoedelijke dader James Earl Ray aangehouden in Londen. Ray bekende dat hij King had vermoord en werd veroordeeld tot 99 jaar cel, maar trok kort daarna zijn bekentenis weer in. Hij was naar eigen zeggen onder druk gezet, maar de veroordeling hield stand. Ray bleef volhouden dat hij onschuldig was tot zijn dood in 1998.</p> <p>Er werd lang getwijfeld of Ray alleen handelde of dat hij überhaupt wel de dader was. Zelfs familieleden van King twijfelden eraan of Ray wel de dader was. Weduwe Coretta Scott King vroeg om een heropening van het onderzoek.</p> <p>Toenmalige procureur-generaal Janet Reno gaf daar in 1998 opdracht voor, maar uit dat onderzoek kwam niets nieuws. De zaak leidde in de loop der jaren wel tot talloze speculaties en theorieën.</p> "Met empathie en respect" <p>De familie van King laat nu eigen onderzoekers de vrijgegeven documenten bestuderen. Gisteren reageerden de twee nog levende kinderen van King, Martin III (67) en Bernice (62) al. Zij zeiden dat hun vader "het doelwit was van een meedogenloze, invasieve en verontrustende desinformatie- en bewakingscampagne".</p> <p>Ze vragen ook om respect bij de vrijgave van de documenten. "Onze familie heeft al 57 jaar moeten leven met zijn afwezigheid. We vragen degenen die betrokken zijn bij het vrijgeven van de documenten om dit te doen met empathie, terughoudendheid en respect voor het verdriet van onze familie." De familie houdt vast aan de overtuiging dat Ray mogelijk niet alleen heeft gehandeld, schrijft persbureau AP.</p> Bedoeld als afleiding? <p>President Trump tekende in januari al een decreet waarin hij opdracht gaf om de geheime documenten rondom de moord op King en op voormalig president John F. Kennedy en zijn broer Robert vrij te geven.</p> <p>Vorige week ontstond ophef rondom de openbaarmaking van geheime documenten uit de zaak-Jeffrey Epstein. Die geruchtmakende zaak ging over het misbruik van tienermeisjes door invloedrijke figuren. Trump heeft zijn kiezers nog voor hij president was, beloofd om naar het dossier te kijken, maar tot op heden is er nog niet veel vrijgegeven.</p> <p>Afgelopen vrijdag zei Trump alsnog opdracht te hebben gegeven om getuigenissen openbaar te maken.
