3196408	有图 <p>The House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on the Rehabilitation and Operationalisation of the Baro Inland Port has commenced work with a renewed commitment to revive the long-abandoned national asset located in Niger State.</p><p>At its inaugural meeting on Wednesday at the National Assembly, Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Saidu Abdullahi (Niger, APC) said the committee is determined to translate years of unfulfilled promises on the port into tangible action that will restore Baro’s role as a key inland logistics hub.</p> <p>“Baro Inland Port is a sleeping giant, and our job is to wake it. This committee is tasked with converting endless talk over the years into real action,” Abdullahi stated.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>He recalled the port’s colonial-era significance as a multimodal logistics centre, where agricultural goods from northern Nigeria were transported by rail to Baro and then shipped via inland waterways to coastal ports.</p><p>He blamed decades of neglect, fueled by a shift in focus to oil and road infrastructure, for the current state of disrepair.</p><p>Abdullahi cited global examples such as China’s Yangtze River Port and the Mississippi River system in the U.S. to illustrate how inland ports can drive economic development.</p><p>“These examples show that inland waterways can be the backbone of national logistics. Nigeria must rise to that challenge,” he said.</p><p>He identified three major issues hindering Baro’s functionality: the need for dredging of the capital channel, rail connectivity between Baro and Minna, and completion of access roads to the port.</p><p>Committee members who spoke, emphasised the need for a strategic national vision to guide the project.</p><p>Former Deputy Speaker Idris Wase said the port must be presented as a national and regional economic asset, not just a state-based project.</p><p>“This is not just for Niger State. The original conception was for Baro to serve the broader Northern African sub-region. When we speak, we must speak as Nigerians,” Wase said.</p><p>Similarly, Hon. Leke Abejide, Chairman of the House Committee on Customs and a member of the committee, warned that without proper incentives for shipping lines, the port could fail like others in Calabar and Warri.</p><p>“No port can thrive without attracting major shipping lines. Incentives are crucial. We’ve seen it work in the Lagos Free Trade Zone. One shipping line can trigger the momentum — others will follow,” Abejide 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).

3196403	有图 <p>Experts and economists yesterday disagreed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) over its upward review of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth projection, saying the projection is not realistic.</p><p>The IMF had announced that its Executive Board has concluded the 2025 Article IV consultation with Nigeria, projecting a 3.4 percent expansion in the country’s real Growth Domestic Product (GDP) for 2025.</p> <p>The IMF’s Article IV consultation is a routine assessment of a country’s economic performance and policy framework, providing evaluations and recommendations for improvement.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>Daily Trust reported that On April 22 2025, the IMF projected that Nigeria’s economy would grow by 3 percent in 2025, down from the 3.2 percent forecast in October 2024.</p><p>The IMF in the report released on Wednesday commended the recently signed four tax reform Bills by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.</p><p>According to the statement, the IMF “commended the authorities on advancing the tax reform bill, an important step towards enhancing revenue mobilization and creating fiscal space for development spending, while preserving debt sustainability.”</p><p>IMF Executive Board Assessment, further hailed reforms in the foreign exchange market that supported price discovery and liquidity.</p><p>“The CBN, under the leadership of Governor Olayemi Cardoso, dismantled the long-standing multiple exchange-rate regime, replacing it with a “willing-buyer, willing-seller” framework supported by a digital trading platform (B-Match).</p><p>“Gross and net international reserves increased in 2024, with a strong current account surplus and improved portfolio inflows The FX premium, or gap between official and parallel markets, has fallen from over 60 percent to below 3 percent. FX inflows have surged to $6.9 billion in Q1 2025, and external reserves climbed to a peak of $40.9 billion at the end of 2024, providing over eight months of import–well above benchmark thresholds.</p><p>“Reforms to the FX market and foreign exchange interventions have brought stability to the naira,” the IMF noted.</p><p>“In January 2025, Nigeria successfully returned to the Eurobond market, its first issue in four years reflecting a strengthened investor confidence and a resumption of portfolio inflows.” the Fund noted</p><p>The IMF further commended the CBN current recapitalization efforts for Nigerian Banks.</p><p>The statement further stated, “Directors recognized actions to strengthen the banking system, including the ongoing process of increasing banks’ minimum capital. They welcomed the authorities’ efforts to boost financial inclusion and promote capital market development, while emphasizing the importance of moving to a robust risk‑based supervision for mortgage and consumer lending schemes as well as the fintech and crypto sectors.”</p><p>Minister, CBN Governor hail report</p><p>Reflecting on the IMF report, CBN Governor Cardoso stated that “At a time of global uncertainty, this assessment reaffirms that responsible, forward-looking policy choices matter. It affirms that Nigeria is regaining credibility, anchoring expectations, and laying the foundation for inclusive, long-term growth.</p><p>It is both an encouragement to stay the course, and a reminder that resilience and prosperity require continued discipline and vision.” he added.</p><p>Similarly, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun while reacting to the development commended the IMF’s for recognizing the Federal Government’s ongoing reform efforts and the progress achieved over the past two years.</p><p>A statement by Mohammed Manga, Director Press at the Finance ministry quoted tha minister saying that “These reforms have contributed to notable improvements in Nigeria’s fiscal and external positions, bolstering investor confidence and strengthening the resilience of the economy,”</p><p>The Minister also welcomed the Fund’s acknowledgement of advancements in the agricultural sector, particularly increased food production, which has contributed to moderating inflation.</p><p>“As of May 2025, headline inflation eased to 22.9%, while food inflation declined to 21.4%—both improvements from the higher levels recorded during the IMF mission.</p><p>“IMF’s positive outlook, which affirms that Nigeria’s economic reforms have positioned the country to better withstand external shocks,” Edun added.</p><p>Experts differ</p><p>Economist, Dr. Marcel Okeke faulted the report which he described as “unfounded and unrealistic.”</p><p>According to him, the tax reform the report talked about has not taken effect. He stated that the parameters used by the IMF in reviewing up the projection were faulty.</p><p>He said, “First I will say the projection is unrealistic. The tax reform they are mentioning has not come into effect. The President signed the Bills a few days ago. So there is no way the government will start implementing a new tax law.</p><p>“As they are releasing this projection, the World Bank has just released another one that shows Nigerians are getting poorer in terms of poverty. How can more Nigerians getting poor give rise to better GDP growth? How can that happen?</p><p>The economist raised concerns about the declining crude oil prices and the low production volume by Nigeria.</p><p>Daily Trust checks yesterday indicated that Brent Crude sold for $68.27 dollars per barrel as the price volatility continues, threatening the federal government revenue projection.</p><p>The 2025 budget was benchmarked at $75 per barrel and 2.2m oil production volume while the crude oil output is still around 1.6m, according to competent authorities.</p><p>These developments, Okeke pointed out, are genuine causes for concern which fly in the face of the IMF projection.</p><p>He said the current level of public debt at N149 trillion as of March 2025, according to the Debt Management Office (DMO) does not bode well for improved economic growth as projected by the IMF.</p><p>“Look at the level of inflation. The inflation level at 22.97% is still high. In developed countries, it is always around one or two or three per cent. In other words, the purchasing power has dropped so badly. Their report doesn’t have substance,” he said.</p><p>Professor Emeritus of Economics, Ndubisi Nwokoma said the projection has a question mark with the low purchasing power, the highly bureaucratic public sector and the insecurity which is threatening food security.</p><p>“In my view, a number of times IMF projections do not work. They often don’t have functional projections. They almost always revise them and that puts a question mark on what their projections are,” he said.</p><p>“I don’t see any serious change that would warrant the projection. The public sector is still ridden with bureaucracy. There is a high level of insecurity. Secondly, there is a low level of purchasing power. The level of real income in the country has not increased significantly. The purchasing power is still very low. The government sector is highly bureaucratic.</p><p>“The manufacturing sector is not doing much. I don’t think there is serious light at the end of the tunnel.”</p><p>‘Why IMF may be right’</p><p>Dr. Muda Yusuf, economist and Chief Executive Officer, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprises (CPPE) said the IMF might be right given the fact that its focus is largely on the macroeconomic variables.</p><p>“To that extent, one will agree with the IMF because if you look at the macro, most of those reforms are necessary and having some impact at the macroeconomic level – the subsidy reform, forex reform and now tax reforms. In the electricity reform, we have not made much progress,” he said.</p><p>However, he stated that the IMF does not “reckon very well with welfare issues and the social cost of the reforms.”</p><p>“The social dimension of the economy is often not reckoned with by the IMF and that is why many people have issues with the IMF because the poverty situation is still a challenge and then productivity issue is still a major issue, I am talking of cost of production, cost of logistics, they are still very big issue,” 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).

3196401	有图 <p>The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has rejected the recent takeover of the party by a coalition of opposition groups, describing it as hostile and illegal.</p><p>Kachikwu, in a press conference on Wednesday, dismissed the development as “a dramedy,” accusing the coalition leaders of entering into an alliance with what he described as the wrong leadership of the ADC. He said the move lacked legitimacy and would not stand.</p> <p>“The tenure of the Nwosu-led executive lapsed on August 21, 2022, and his continued parade of himself as chairman of the party is the subject of various litigations across different courts in the country,” he said.</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>Posing a series of questions, Kachikwu added, “Can you build something on nothing? Can you shave a man’s hair in his absence? Can you enter a man’s house through the back door and declare yourself the landlord?</p><p>“These yesterday’s men who represent a bad chapter in Nigeria’s past have bought a bad market from a man who represents a bad chapter in ADC’s past.”</p><p>He described the coalition members as a “group of mostly geriatrics” allegedly seeking a platform to pursue their “chopping must continue” ambition. According to him, the episode reinforces widespread cynicism about Nigerian political parties.</p><p>“This further cements the opinion most Nigerians hold that political parties in the country stand for nothing and will fall for anything,” he said.</p><p>“They claim to be fighting for the rights of ordinary Nigerians and say they are on a rescue mission. But what confuses Nigerians is that these men—made up of a former vice president, former governors, ministers, and political office holders—are the same people who have presided over the affairs of this nation for the past four decades.”</p><p>He argued that Nigeria has nothing to show for their years in leadership “other than being seen as a nation divided by tribe and religion and thriving in mediocrity.”</p><p>“We are a nation lacking in the basics, whose majority are poor. Yet we are watching those who set our nation on fire now claim to be the fire brigade,” he said.</p><p>Kachikwu described the coalition as “a bunch of greedy and selfish old men who believe political power is their birthright.”</p><p>“Nigerians are tired of your generation and reject everything you have to offer, which is nothing,” he said. “Nigerians yearn for new names, new faces, fresh ideas, and progressive ideals.”</p><p>He called for a Nigeria that “thrives on meritocracy and deemphasises tribe and religion—a nation that works for all irrespective of region or creed.”</p><p>Kachikwu emphasised the need for inclusiveness and social protections for vulnerable groups, arguing that the country’s citizens have never asked for much beyond sincere, people-focused leadership.</p><p>“You have failed us and stand rejected by us,” he declared.</p><p>He said if the coalition leaders truly wished to be part of the ADC, they should follow due process.</p><p>“If they want to join us, they should do the proper thing and come through the front door. We are a party of decent and well-behaved people. Our brand of opposition is one that not only opposes but proposes—something your group is not conversant with.”</p><p>According to him, failure to follow due process will only result in their inevitable exit from the party.</p><p>“You’ll soon be shopping for another party, and as you do that, we, the members of the African Democratic Congress, wish you bon voyage,” he said.</p><p>Kachikwu added that he and other stakeholders would write to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to demand clarification on the authentic leadership of the ADC, stressing that they believe Ralph Nwosu lacks the mandate to sign the coalition agreement on behalf of the party.</p><p>He also described as laughable Nwosu’s decision to hand over the party to former Senate President David Mark and former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola—just days after they reportedly obtained ADC membership cards.</p><p>“Our constitution clearly states that anyone seeking to hold executive office in the party must have been a member for at least three years,” he said.</p><p>‘Coalition not interested in taking Nigeria forward’</p><p>Appearing later on Channels TV, Kachikwu said the coalition’s actions show they are only interested in taking Nigeria backward.</p><p>When asked to respond to claims by the coalition that he is an enemy of progress attacking a platform created to rescue Nigeria, he said, “They are the enemies of Nigeria. They are enemies of progress. Nigerians can no longer be fooled.”</p><p>“Everyone saw the videos from the event. What you saw in that hall were ‘former this, and ‘former that’: former vice president, former governors, and former ministers—all relics of the past. They never take Nigeria forward,” he said.</p><p>He lamented that despite 70% of Nigerians being under 30, the coalition was composed of people above 75.</p><p>“They are not rescuing Nigeria. They’re political jobbers whose only concern is holding office. I speak for genuine ADC members, for Nigerians, for the masses. I weep for Nigeria.”</p><p>He said his generation had lost opportunities due to lack of trust, with the same leaders from his childhood still dominating politics.</p><p>“How can anyone believe that after Asiwaju, it should still be a bunch of old men taking over? They have nothing to offer,” he said. “They don’t even understand the language their kids speak.”</p><p>Kachikwu questioned what those former ministers—many of whom served under President Buhari—achieved during their tenure.</p><p>He continued, “These are the same people now saying they want to save the country. From what—if not from themselves?”</p><p>He described the coalition’s entry into ADC as an underhand move.</p><p>“Nwosu’s tenure expired in August 2022. We wrote several letters to INEC seeking a special convention”.</p><p>He said state leaders were unaware of the coalition plans, and now many, including state secretaries, women leaders, and youth leaders, were protesting.</p><p>“When Nwosu claimed all party structures had resigned—where are the signatures?” he asked.</p><p>Responding to whether he had been detached from the party’s administration, Kachikwu said he once met with the coalition’s leaders and asked two questions: whether they were willing to allow a southerner to lead the alliance and whether their goal was simply to reclaim power.</p><p>“The answer I got was, ‘We want to take our power back.’ That’s insulting to any southerner.”</p><p>He condemned the regional mindset of the coalition and called it a betrayal of national unity and meritocracy.</p><p>“It’s not about Tinubu or ADC. It’s about Nigeria’s future. We don’t need these people,” he said.</p><p>Kachikwu said when he joined the ADC, he believed in its ideals but was later shocked to learn that Nwosu had led the party for 18 years without internal democracy.</p><p>Asked whether he was aware of Nwosu’s relationship with Atiku Abubakar, Kachikwu said he had no knowledge of Atiku’s involvement in ADC.</p><p>“But let’s be honest—how many Nigerians knew ADC before I joined? I placed fifth in the presidential election out of 19 candidates. I made ADC a household name, not Nwosu, who spent 18 years selling forms.”</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).

3196399	有图 <p>Whether or not the Deputy Senate President, Barau I Jibrin is now the leader of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano is subject to understandings and explanations. Being the highest ranking elected person in the configuration of power, at the national level, means a lot in the chemistry of power sharing and influence.</p><p>Even before now, I said a lot and complained bitterly to some of the respected APC influencers, movers and shakers in other words, in Kano state, in the way and manner, those close to the former Governor of Kano State and former National Chairman of APC, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje CON, were either ditching or aiding the ditching of this gentleman.</p> <p>The most annoying part of it, is, how such people off their hands, when the need for image protection of the former governor was seeking genuine attention. Many accounts of this nature will come in my Memoir. Does my reader remember, when the former Chairman of Nassarawa local government, Auwal Shuaibu Aranposu was attacking Ganduje’s political dynasty?</p><p>SPONSOR AD</p> <p>That time, many of our social media people did little in the area of image protection of the dynasty, if you like. They resolved not to participate, because many of them believed Aranposu was more caring to them, though as a member of the opposition New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), than those saddled with the responsibility of managing media around Baba Ganduje.</p> Impressive Kartal reaches Wimbledon third round Uphold national interest, FG charges NIMASA, NIWA boards<p>Aranposu issue, I think is enough. Not to talk of swapping of the names of our social media actors and others, during the recently conducted screening and primary election of APC aspirants, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), by ditching agents around the then National Chairman. That was done to prevent our people to get the chicken change allowances from that exercise. Sheer greed and display of cruelty.</p><p>When Ganduje was governor, at the tail end of his second tenure, amongst those ditching his political machinery, up to the time he became the National Chairman of APC, some are not even from Kano state. They came, to primarily deconstruct him from all standpoints. Zaman karya da cin amana!</p><p>Coming back to DSP Barau, whose political presence means many things to different people. It is simply natural and Divinely designed, how his relevance, influence and shieldy political empire is waxing day in day out.</p><p>Before now, many devilish minds set him in clashes with other political heavyweights from Kano North Senatorial District. But to God be the Glory, fences were mended all before general elections. Reasons behind APC’s victory in all elections, leaving behind Kano Central and Kano South at the lowest ebb. In the past elections.</p><p>It reached an extent when the normal political disagreement between Senator Barau and the powerful Murtala Sule Garo, former Commissioner for Local Governments and Chieftaincy Affairs and the Deputy Gubernatorial Candidate of APC, in 2023 general election, was fueled by APC detractors within the party. It was Baba Ganduje’s diplomatic intervention that saved the situation. As Garo was made the Director General of Barau campaign organization.</p><p>Senator Barau saw many disturbing developments, that were unarguably avoidable. That made his many paths to become thorny and too difficult to trek barefooted. Being a reserved and significantly humane politician, he remained calm, calculated and compounding.</p><p>To make the scenario worse, when Ganduje was exiting from office, after completing his second tenure as the governor of Kano state, he indicated interest in contesting for Senatorial seat, from the same zone with Barau, Kano North. Just as many governors do after completing their tenure in office. Pretending supporters of Ganduje at it again. They fueled, fueled and fueled the disturbing process.</p><p>Senator Barau, had to get Abuja backing before he secured his ticket again. While the peaceful Ganduje supported Barau to victory. Just as he did previously. You cannot take away this credit from him.</p><p>I think it was from that time, that the former National Chairman started x-raying his close so-called backers around him. When he became the National Chairman, other set of pretenders were either recruited or joined the bandwagon abruptly. More ploys, planless plans and insidious pretenses were injected into the system.</p><p>Another credit to Ganduje again was, he joined hands together with Senator Barau, to, at least, pose political threats and confusion to the ruling NNPP in Kano. Whatever happened in Kano, they said “Ganduje.” To the extent that when Kano official loses Raka’a in any of the 5 daily prayers, they said “Ganduje.” When an official’s wife has miscarriage, they said “Ganduje.”</p><p>Emirship tussle in Kano, they said “Ganduje.” Emir Aminu Ado Bayero’s stay in Nassarawa palace, they said “Ganduje.” Their inability and ineptitude in providing good governance for people in the state, they said “Ganduje.” He instilled palpable and endless fear in them.</p><p>With the Divine debut of the Deputy Senate President, most recently, which happened through many years of perseverance, patience, overlooking attitude and succumbing to frustrations, all frustrations and political anger from NNPP government in Kano, are geared towards the Senator. Many condemnations and rivalry are shifted, largely from Ganduje to Barau.</p><p>From within APC family in Kano, those defining Barau as politically handicapped and strategically mispositioned, have since started shifting ground. Some in covert operations, because they benefit from fueling political gap between the duo. Either the gap exists or not, is subject to one’s interpretation.</p><p>For many months back, I am privy to information that, Barau has since mended many fences, real and imaginary, with some APC juggernauts in the state. Especially those that are principled and not pretenders. Those who have the love of the party at heart. Not the eye service promoters.</p><p>To me, the way I see and understand it, is, Barau’s unwavering and undisputed progression is simply Divine and Godly. Is like God is proving a point for his servants on him. But I still wonder when people say, Barau lacks real politicians by his immediate side. To them, one can only progress politically when he has the kind of certain people by his side. Unknown to them, many people are not the same, when it comes to their modus operandi.</p><p>Senator Barau has been in politics for over 40 years. So what else do you need before you identify him as being an expert in political practice and development?</p><p>Believe it or not, many members of APC in Kano, honest and pretenders, have started making advances towards the Deputy Senate President. The good side of the story is, Senator Barau knows exactly what he wants from who and how. For long he has been monitoring those around Baba Ganduje. And clearly understands their merits and demerits, or antics, if you wish.</p><p>The fact that APC as a strong political party, is not gravitating around personalities, makes one comfortable to understand that, it is still waxing stronger in the national scheme of things.</p><p>And for the Deputy Senate President and First Deputy Speaker ECOWAS Parliament, one can say Barau Ikon Allah. That Barau is Allah’s making.</p><p>Anwar writes from Kano</p><p> July 3rd, 2025</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).

Therefore, the emergence of ADC as presently constituted marks the formal dismemberment of the PDP, hitherto Nigeria’s strongest opposition Party.</p><p>“No matter how you look at it, this is just Atiku’s faction of PDP in desperate search for the 2027 Presidential ticket – nothing more, nothing less. It is better for the APC because it is just a case of totally extracting the germ that was eating the cola nut from within.</p><p>“The person whom the old, cunning guards want to take for a ride in all of this is Peter Obi. They want his votes, but don’t want to give him their Presidential ticket, because this is Atiku’s show simpliciter. That is why David Mark is the interim Chairman. Those who know politics know what I am saying. But if you do not give Peter Obi the Presidential ticket, you lose his supporters. It is as simple as that. And how can you make someone who won two regions in the last election (South-East and South-South) a running mate to the person who won only one region (North-East)?</p><p>“Therefore, when the dust settles, you will discover that PDP and the Labour Party have lost something, the ADC have only gained something like a caricature, but the APC has lost ABSOLUTELY nothing.”</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).

3196394	无图 <p> <p>The NISC offered a rare opportunity to step back from operational pressures and reflect on the broader, interconnected challenges shaping our world.</p> </p> <p> By Soufiane El Hamdi </p> <p> <p>This year, our New Issues in Security Course, known as the NISC, celebrates its 25th anniversary! For a quarter of a century, we’ve been providing security policy professionals with the tools to tackle new and re-emerging security challenges arising from a rapidly changing global environment. As we celebrate this milestone, we collected stories from our NISC alumni who reflected on how the course has made an impact on them – personally, professionally, and globally.</p>How did the NISC shape your perspective on peace and security?<p>Soufiane El Hamdi: Participating in the NISC was a pivotal moment in my professional and personal development. It offered a rare opportunity to step back from operational pressures and reflect on the broader, interconnected challenges shaping our world. The course fostered a multidimensional understanding of peace and security, combining strategic foresight, ethical reflection, and real-world application. Above all, it grounded security in human dignity and cooperation, which continues to guide my work to this day.</p><p>What makes the GCSP truly unique is its enduring impact and community. Since completing the course, I have maintained a strong relationship with the GCSP and its experts, particularly in the counterterrorism field. Throughout my career, I have repeatedly called on the GCSP’s expertise in shaping strategic initiatives, confident in its global perspective and principled approach.</p>Is there a particular moment, project, or initiative you"re proud of that connects back to what you learned during the course?<p>Soufiane El Hamdi: One initiative I am especially proud of was organizing a high-level meeting that brought together Arab and African public prosecutors to enhance cooperation in addressing complex and alarming forms of criminality. This event, held under the high auspices of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, marked a significant step in bridging regional legal communities. I was deeply honoured to welcome Dr Christina Schori Liang, GCSP’s Head of Counterterrorism and PVE, to this occasion. Her sharp, insightful intervention before hundreds of practitioners and high-level officials helped shape the roadmap that ultimately led to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the African and Arab associations of public prosecutors. GCSP’s contribution at this event reinforced its role as a reference institution for those working on sensitive and strategic global challenges.</p><p>Another proud milestone was being invited by the GCSP to contribute as an expert to its course on Preventing Violent Extremism. That experience was not just an acknowledgment of my professional journey—it was a moment of transformation. From a learner, to an alumnus, to a collaborator, and finally a contributor, my relationship with the GCSP has evolved into a lasting and enriching partnership.</p><p>As the NISC celebrates its 25th anniversary, I remain grateful for the solid foundation it provided, and for the solid community it welcomed me into. To this day, the GCSP remains involved in supporting the efforts of public prosecutions across regions, working on policy, reform, and systemic changes that continue to shape our present and future. The GCSP continues to inspire me, and I look forward to many more collaborations. For me, and for many others, it remains a trusted and visionary platform in the ever-evolving field of peace and security.</p><p>Soufiane El Hamdi is an alumnus of the 2016 NISC course, and an international expert in public security, criminal justice policy, and institutional governance, with over 13 years of experience supporting international cooperation and strengthening security and justice institutions across the MENA region and Africa. He previously served as a Programme Manager at the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law, and as Senior Technical Adviser to the EU-funded CT MENA regional project. Currently, he is a Senior Adviser at the Fund for Peace, and a Criminal Justice Expert with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, MENA Regional Office. Most recently, he was appointed as a member of the Investigators Community of Practice Working Group of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, bringing together leading international experts on investigative practices in the context of contemporary crime.</p> </p> GCSP Alumni News \| The GCSP continues to inspire me – Voices of NISC	查看 4800	日内瓦安全政策中心	2025-07-02 00:00:00 2025-07-03 16:49:05	word

Bij de brandweer kwamen zeker 127 meldingen binnen over schade en één brand.</p><p>Rond Winterswijk vielen veel bomen om, onder meer op de N318 en N319, straten kwamen onder water te staan en het treinverkeer raakte ontregeld.</p><p>Ook stortte het dak van een bedrijfspand in door het noodweer. Niemand raakte daarbij gewond. Op het moment dat het dak instortte waren er nog zo"n twintig mensen in het pand aanwezig. Zij konden zichzelf op tijd in veiligheid brengen.</p><p>Door de instorting ontstond ook een gaslekkage, die door de hulpdiensten snel kon worden verholpen. Op beelden die de eigenaar via sociale media verspreidde, is te zien dat er veel water in het pand staat, nadat het dak naar beneden kwam.</p><p>Tussen Zutphen en Hengelo en tussen Arnhem en Winterswijk is door omgevallen bomen op het spoor het treinverkeer ontregeld. De verwachting is dat het spoor vannacht weer in gebruik kan worden genomen.</p><p>De belangrijkste wegen zijn inmiddels vrijgemaakt, maar de Veiligheidsregio Noord- en Oost-Gelderland heeft inwoners van de gemeente Winterswijk via een NL-alert aangeraden om vanavond en vannacht niet de weg op te gaan.

3196392	无图 <p>Het ministerie van Volksgezondheid heeft alsnog een nieuw akkoord gesloten met zorgpartijen over de toekomst van de zorg. Dat bevestigen bronnen rond het akkoord na berichtgeving door RTL Nieuws. Onder meer de Landelijke Huisartsen Vereniging, de Nederlandse Vereniging van Ziekenhuizen en Zorgverzekeraars Nederland hebben ermee ingestemd.</p><p>Dit akkoord is een vervolg op het Integraal Zorgakkoord uit 2022 waarin afspraken staan die de zorg toegankelijk en betaalbaar moeten houden. Een belangrijk doel van dit aanvullende akkoord is het voorkomen van grote personeelstekorten.</p><p>Het akkoord was al bijna rond toen begin vorige maand het kabinet viel. Toenmalig zorgminister Agema (PVV) had binnen het kabinet al overeenstemming bereikt over de financiering van de nieuwe afspraken. Haar opvolger, Daniëlle Jansen (NSC), zei dat het akkoord boven aan haar lijstje stond. "Daar zit het hele veld op te wachten", zei Jansen bij haar aantreden.</p>Gordelroosvaccin<p>De zorgpartijen en de overheid willen onder meer de tijd terugdringen die personeel in de zorg kwijt is aan administratie. Daarbij worden ook nieuwe technologieën zoals kunstmatige intelligentie genoemd als oplossing. Een ander voornemen is om meer personeel op te leiden.</p><p>Verder is er geld vrijgemaakt voor een gordelroosvaccin en komt er geld voor MRI-scans voor vrouwen met zeer dicht borstweefsel. De zorgpartijen moeten het akkoord nog wel voorleggen aan hun achterbannen. De minister informeert de Tweede Kamer morgen over het akkoord.</p> Kabinet en zorgpartijen sluiten alsnog aanvullend zorgakkoord	查看 1528	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-03 04:36:12 2025-07-03 16:45:16	word

Gisteren openden terroristen op meerdere plekken tegelijk de aanval, voornamelijk op militaire doelen. Het is onduidelijk hoeveel slachtoffers hierbij zijn gevallen.</p><p>De aanvallen waren in het westen van Mali, in het grensgebied met Senegal en Mauritanië. De terreurgroep heeft naar eigen zeggen bij de aanvallen drie kazernes ingenomen. Op sociale media staan foto"s van voertuigen en wapens die ze in beslag zouden hebben genomen.</p><p>Ook heeft de terreurgroep volgens de Franse nieuwszender France 24 vier mensen ontvoerd. De gegijzelden zijn drie Indiërs en iemand uit China. Radio France Internationale schrijft dat de gegijzelden mogelijk in de cementfabriek of tegelfabriek werken die zijn aangevallen.</p>Tientallen aanvallers gedood<p>Het Malinese leger stelt dat het in reactie op de aanvallen tachtig aanvallers heeft "geneutraliseerd". Voor Mali is het de derde grote aanval in een maand tijd. Al ruim tien jaar kampt het West-Afrikaanse land met terreuraanslagen van groepen die gelinkt zijn aan IS en al-Qaida.</p><p>Pogingen om het jihadistisch geweld een halt toe te roepen zijn vooralsnog vruchteloos. Na twee militaire staatsgrepen is het geweld bovendien toegenomen.

3196390	无图 <p>Je zou denken dat als het klimaatbeleid tot grote onvrede leidt bij milieuorganisaties, er iets van tevredenheid zou zijn bij de fossiele industrie. Toch luidt de voltallige industrie deze week samen met de vakbonden de noodklok. Ook in de Tweede Kamer zijn er weinig complimenten voor het beleid van demissionair minister Hermans van Klimaat en Groene Groei.</p><p>Het debat dat eigenlijk over een aantal wijzigingen uit de voorjaarsnota zou moeten gaan, ontpopt zich tot een evaluatie van haar korte regeerperiode in het kabinet-Schoof. Er gaat weinig tot niets goed volgens Kamerleden van links tot rechts. Los van verschillen van inzicht gaat het vooral over de constatering dat de boel vastloopt. Zowel de afgesproken reductie van de CO2-uitstoot als de "groene groei" van de industrie blijft achter.</p>Bedrijven verduurzamen niet<p>Om de wettelijk vastgestelde klimaatdoelen in 2030 te halen, moet de industrie voor een deel van het gas af. Toen in 2022 de gasprijs door het dak ging, wilden veel grote bedrijven die sprong maken. Dat betekent meestal een overstap naar duurzame elektriciteit uit zon en wind. Sommige bedrijven willen over op groene waterstof gemaakt uit duurzame elektriciteit.</p><p>In de praktijk lijkt alles vast te lopen in een moeras van stikstofproblematiek, netcongestie, en een slechte internationale concurrentiepositie. Daarnaast is er een gebrek aan vertrouwen in consistent kabinetsbeleid. Alles bij elkaar veroorzaakt het inmiddels sluiting van chemische bedrijven in de Rotterdamse haven en reorganisatie in Terneuzen. Het gaat om vele honderden banen.</p><p>Om over te schakelen op elektriciteit is er om te beginnen een zware aansluiting op het elektriciteitsnet nodig. Er staan inmiddels 20.000 bedrijven op de wachtlijst voor zo"n aansluiting. Niet voor een paar maanden maar voor vele jaren. Als een bedrijf wel een aansluiting kan krijgen zorgt de stikstofproblematiek regelmatig voor problemen met het verkrijgen van een bouwvergunning.</p>Negatieve kettingreactie<p>Omdat de industrie de overstap naar elektriciteit vaak niet kan maken, twijfelen windparkbouwers over nieuwe projecten op de Noordzee. Hierdoor wordt er ook getwijfeld over de bouw van zogeheten elektrolysers die groene waterstof kunnen produceren. Vier kavels op de Tweede Maasvlakte blijven daarom vooralsnog leeg.</p><p>Er is een beetje hoop dat na de val van het kabinet de weg vrij is om in de maanden op weg naar verkiezingen het klimaatbeleid te reanimeren. De PVV is als tegenstander van klimaatbeleid uit het kabinet, en overigens ook afwezig bij het debat.</p><p>Om de industrie te redden wil een Kamermeerderheid afschaffing van de Nederlandse CO2-belasting. Die belasting komt boven op het Europese systeem dat grote bedrijven verplicht CO2-rechten te kopen.</p><p>Inmiddels heeft de minister bekend gemaakt dat ze de Nederlandse CO2-belasting wil uitstellen tot 2030. Dat betekent nog altijd geen zekerheid voor bedrijven, zegt de industrie, en geen stimulans voor verduurzaming, zegt de milieubeweging.</p>Greep uit de klimaatkas<p>Het ministerschap van Klimaat en Groene Groei is in dit kabinet geen dankbare taak. Oppositiepartij D66 twijfelt in het debat niet aan de goede bedoelingen van Hermans, maar de minister staat vaak alleen, is de conclusie van de partij. Tijdens het coalitieoverleg over de voorjaarsnota deden de politiek leiders van de vier coalitiepartijen, zonder overleg met de minister, een greep in de kas van het Klimaatfonds.</p><p>Na afloop was het ministerie van Hermans 600 miljoen euro lichter gemaakt. Met zulke politieke vrienden heb je geen vijanden nodig, moet de minister hebben gedacht. Dat bleek nog maar eens toen haar partij, de VVD, in de Tweede Kamer ook tegen haar zin voor afschaffing van de CO2-belasting stemde.</p><p>Toch is de industrie nog altijd van mening dat de lasten hoger zijn dan in onze buurlanden. Gaan automobilisten die elektrisch rijden meer belasting betalen. Krijgen bezitters van zonnepanelen minder terug voor geleverde elektriciteit. Staan er 20.000 bedrijven op een wachtlijst voor elektriciteit. En, worden de klimaatdoelen zo goed als zeker niet gehaald.</p>Niet meer beschikbaar<p>Demissionair minister Hermans maakte vlak voor het debat bekend dat ze geen kandidaat is namens de VVD voor de Tweede Kamer bij de verkiezingen eind oktober. Ondertussen blijft de minister praten met de industrie en onderzoekt ze mogelijkheden om het halen van de klimaatdoelen dichterbij te brengen. Of daarvoor ook geld beschikbaar is op Prinsjesdag lijkt onwaarschijnlijk.</p> Industrie en milieubeweging eensgezind ontevreden over huidig klimaatbeleid	查看 4555	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-03 05:26:06 2025-07-03 16:45:16	word

3196386	无图 <p>Het aantal aanslagen met explosieven in Nederland is in het eerste halfjaar van 2025 toegenomen, zegt de politie. In de eerste zes maanden van dit jaar zijn er 678 aanslagen en aanslagpogingen geweest. In dezelfde periode vorig jaar ging het om 644 aanslagen en aanslagpogingen. Het gaat om aanslagen met zwaar vuurwerk, zoals cobra"s.</p><p>Vaak wordt er ook brandbare vloeistof bij gebruikt, vertelt Jos van der Stap. "Dan heb je een levensgevaarlijke situatie." Van der Stap houdt zich als programmamanager high impact crime bij politie bezig met de aanpak van explosies. In 2024 zijn er 1543 aanslagen en aanslagpogingen gedaan. Of dat cijfer dit jaar wordt overtroffen, kan de politie niet zeggen. De verwachting is wel dat het aantal zal toenemen in het najaar. "Wanneer het donker wordt, stijgt het aantal vaak."</p>Minderjarigen<p>Tot nu toe zijn dit jaar 163 verdachten aangehouden in verband met dit soort aanslagen. Volgens Van der Stap zijn de verdachten veelal minderjarig. "Het zijn vaak jongens die al in aanraking zijn geweest met de politie en ook al strafbare feiten hebben gepleegd. Het zijn beïnvloedbare en impulsieve jongens", zegt hij. "Ze willen er graag bij horen en zijn over te halen voor een beetje geld."</p><p>Ze worden vaak benaderd via sociale media zoals Telegram of Snapchat. De mensen die de jongens benaderen komen soms uit het criminele circuit. "Ze hebben nog iets te vereffenen, of willen wraak nemen." Het kunnen ook mensen zijn die op persoonlijk of zakelijk niveau een conflict hebben met iemand. "Iemand moet nog iets betalen, en wil niet betalen."</p><p>Ook afgelopen nacht was er een aanslag met een explosief in Schiedam:</p><p>Het is een complex probleem, zegt Van der Stap. Er worden volgens hem veel aanhoudingen gedaan en geprobeerd het illegale vuurwerk op te sporen. Dat alleen zal het probleem niet oplossen. Zodra iemand wordt opgepakt, wordt een ander benaderd om de klus te klaren. Daarom wordt er nu ook veel ingezet op preventie, zoals de campagne "Alleen jij bepaalt wie je bent". Daarbij spreken coaches met jongeren op school over explosieven en hun ervaringen.</p><p>Volgens Van der Stap is het ook belangrijk dat minderjarige daders na hun straf begeleid worden, zodat ze niet opnieuw in de fout gaan. "Er zijn een aantal steden waarin een re-integratieofficier onder de burgemeester deze jongens onder de hoede neemt", zegt hij. "Dan proberen ze om regelmaat te krijgen in schulden, wonen en werk."</p>Vuurwerkverbod<p>Ondanks dat er illegaal vuurwerk wordt gebruikt bij de aanslagen, zal een landelijk vuurwerkverbod helpen het aantal aanslagen met explosieven te verminderen, stelt Van der Stap. Afgelopen week heeft de Eerste Kamer ingestemd met een landelijk verbod op het afsteken van vuurwerk door consumenten.</p><p>"We denken dat er dan makkelijker te handhaven is. Er zijn veel mensen die het illegale vuurwerk ook als gewoon vuurwerk zien. De beschikbaarheid is groot, mensen voeren dat het land in om illegaal te verkopen. Met een verbod mag het nergens aanwezig zijn", zegt Van der Stap.</p><p>Het zal niet van de een op de andere dag helpen. "Op een gegeven moment gaat het wel werken. Je hoopt alleen sneller vooruitgang te boeken met dit soort zaken", aldus Van der Stap.</p> Politie: aanslagen met explosieven eerste half jaar iets toegenomen	查看 3257	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-03 10:02:27 2025-07-03 16:45:16	word

Dat schrijft de Volkskrant op basis van cijfers van het Nationaal Vergiftigingen Informatie Centrum (NVIC).

Een jaar eerder ging het om 41 meldingen.</p><p>Vorig jaar kregen zo"n 120.000 mensen een afslankmedicijn voorgeschreven. Het gaat dus om een relatief kleine groep mensen die te maken kreeg met vergiftigingsverschijnselen. Toch maken artsen zich zorgen, omdat ze denken dat lang niet alle gevallen gemeld worden.</p>Diabetesmedicijn<p>In een deel van de gevallen, bij 29 mensen, ging het om mensen die zonder recept met de afslankmiddelen waren begonnen. In de meeste gevallen ging het om semaglutide. Die stof verlaagt het bloedsuiker en is onder de merknamen Ozempic, Rybelsus en Wegovy geregistreerd. Semaglutide werd ontwikkeld als middel voor mensen met diabetes type 2, maar bleek ook effectief bij overgewicht.</p><p>Een te hoge dosis van de afslankmedicatie kan vergiftigingsverschijnselen veroorzaken. Hierdoor belandden meerdere mensen op de spoedeisende hulp met bijvoorbeeld uitdrogingsverschijnselen.

3196384	无图 <p>Met de hakken over de sloot stemde de Senaat dinsdag in met Trumps zogenoemde "Big Beautiful Bill". Op dit moment is het woord aan het Huis van Afgevaardigden. Ook daar lopen Congresleden niet over van enthousiasme. Of de stemming vandaag wordt afgerond, is nog onduidelijk.</p><p>Voor en achter de schermen doet president Trump alles om twijfelaars te overtuigen toch vooral voor te stemmen.</p><p>"Ik kom daar wel dichterbij in de buurt, ja", zegt Tim Burchett, gevraagd naar of de president hem heeft overtuigd. Zoals meer conservatieve Congresleden maakt Burchett zich zorgen over de staatsschuld, die door deze wet in tien jaar tijd op zou lopen met zo"n 3,3 biljoen dollar.</p><p>Samen met anderen was hij uitgenodigd op het Witte Huis, waar Trump de druk op twijfelende Republikeinse Congresleden verder opvoerde. Elke stem telt: net als in de Senaat is de Republikeinse meerderheid in het Huis krap. Slechts drie tegenstemmers kan Trump zich veroorloven, in de poging om zijn belangrijkste verkiezingsbeloften in wetgeving te gieten.</p>Sociale vangnetten<p>Zo zijn tientallen miljarden dollars gereserveerd voor Trumps immigratieagenda: uitbreiding van de muur bij de grens met Mexico bijvoorbeeld, met nieuwe deportatiecentra. Belastingvoordelen uit Trumps eerste termijn worden permanent gemaakt. "En Trump stelt belastingverlagingen voor op mensen die overuren draaien, ook op fooien", weet Glenn Grothman, een Republikeins Congreslid uit Wisconsin. "Deze wet moet erdoor komen."</p><p>Toch vinden niet alle Republikeinen de wet zo beautiful, ook omdat hard gesneden zal worden in sociale vangnetten. Bij zorgverzekeringen als Medicaid worden grote bedragen weggehaald. Miljoenen mensen verliezen daarmee toegang tot zorg. Ook wordt er geschrapt in de uitgifte van voedselbonnen voor armere Amerikanen.</p><p>Voor de meer gematigde Republikeinen is het daarmee schipperen. Loyaliteit tonen aan Trump en instemmen met een wet die voor hun achterban grote gevolgen kan hebben. Of toch tegen "hun" president ingaan, hopende dat minder vermogende kiezers toegang houden tot basisvoorzieningen.</p><p>"Het gaat erom dat we doen wat juist is", zegt Burchett. "Onze peilingen zitten in het slop omdat we niet doen wat we hebben beloofd. President Trump stijgt juist omdat hij wél doet wat hij heeft beloofd."</p><p>Dat strookt niet met de werkelijkheid. In een recente peiling van Reuters/Ipsos gaf 42 procent van de Amerikanen aan de president te steunen, lager dan de 47 procent eind januari. Zijn "Big Beautiful Bill" is weinig populair: een meerderheid van de Amerikanen is tegen. In een peiling van de conservatieve nieuwszender Fox zei 59 procent van de ondervraagden het wetsvoorstel niet te steunen.</p><p>Veel zijn het er niet, maar in afwachting van de stemming spreekt een handvol tegenstanders zijn afschuw uit in de straten rond het Capitool. "Toch wat ontmoedigend", zegt Mark over het beperkte aantal demonstranten. Hij importeert kattenspeeltjes uit China en trok met zijn gitaar vanuit New Mexico naar de hoofdstad om in actie te komen. Terwijl Congresleden naar het Huis snellen bezingt hij de "Big Bastard"s Beautiful Bill", in een ballade. "Misschien dat het ze even aan het denken zet."</p><p>"We zijn een vrij arme staat", vervolgt hij. "Het schrappen van de voedselbonnen maakt dat een groot aantal kinderen onvoldoende te eten zal hebben." Grofweg een kwart van de kinderen in New Mexico groeit op in armoede. "15 ziekenhuizen moeten vrezen voor hun voortbestaan met de bezuinigingen op Medicaid en Medicare." De National Rural Health Association schat dat zo"n 400 ziekenhuizen op omvallen staan.</p><p>Andere demonstranten maken zich zorgen over het verdwijnen van belastingvoordelen op onder meer wind- en zonne-energie. "We hebben geen nieuwe pijpleidingen of boorputten nodig", stelt Craig Auster van de League of Conservation Voters. "Dat is traag en duur, energierekeningen schieten door het dak. We moeten juist volop investeren in duurzame energie. Dat is schoon, goedkoop en toekomstbestendig en er zijn veel banen mee gemoeid."</p>"Geweldige gesprekken"<p>"Terwijl miljardairs een belastingverlaging krijgen, gaan veel werkenden veel meer betalen", zegt Anna Aurilio van Economic Security Project Action, een centrumlinkse lobbyclub. "De belasting voor Amerikanen die minder dan 51.000 dollar verdienen gaat omhoog." Republikein Grothman wuift dat resoluut weg. "Geloof de leugens van de Democraten niet", roept hij. "We willen hard werken juist aanmoedigen."</p><p>Trump stelde, via Truth Social, vertrouwen te hebben in de stemming. "We hebben de hele dag GEWELDIGE gesprekken gevoerd, en de Republikeinse meerderheid in het Huis is VERENIGD", schreef hij. "Kom op Republikeinen, en iedereen daarbuiten: MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump zei te verwachten dat er snel gestemd gaat worden, al is dat nog onzeker.</p> Na nipte zege in Senaat wacht ‘Trump-wet’ lastige strijd in het Huis	查看 4859	荷兰国家广播电视台	2025-07-03 11:15:12 2025-07-03 16:45:16	word
