By COREY WILLIAMS Associated Press WARREN, Mich. (AP) — The events of 2020 already had Eddie Hall on edge. Then, the troubles of a nation in turmoil landed on Hall's doorstep in suburban Detroit in September when racist graffiti was scrawled on his pickup truck and shots were fired into his home after his family placed a Black Lives Matter sign in their front window. 'I'm in combat mode. I'm protecting my family,' Hall, a 52-year-old Black man from Warren, told The Associated Press. Some experts say police brutality, the coronavirus pandemic that has taken disproportionate physical and financial tolls […]

NORTON MP Temba Mliswa (Independent) has blasted government for failing to take care of people with disabilities (PWDs) as stipulated in section 83 of the Constitution. BY STAFF REPORTER Section 83 of the Constitution states that “the State must take appropriate measures within the limits of the resources available to ensure that PWDs realise their full mental and physical potential…” Mliswa was contributing to debate recently in the National Assembly which was moved by Bikita South MP Josiah Sithole (Zanu PF) on all-inclusive development policies to cater for PWDs. He said the country’s national budget had failed to prioritise PWDs for them to be self-sufficient. “We know that some of them cannot even get to areas where government programmes are being carried out because of their disability. What measures have you put in place to make sure that they get there or to make sure that they get what belongs to them without it being a favour, but being an entitlement because of the condition that they are in?” Mliswa asked. “If anything, PWDs are actually neglected because most of us are able-bodied. We have never understood how one who is disabled functions. We are guilty as charged as MPs because when we are going to elections as politicians, we look for them because we want their votes.” The Norton MP said very few PWDs were in the corridors of power, adding that political parties were also failing to include PWDs in powerful positions. “It is critical that political parties are able to accommodate PWDs in the corridors of power. How many political parties have got disabled people in leadership? In this very same august House, how many disabled people are chairing Parliamentary committees or are in the influence of power?” Mliswa apologised to PWDs, saying that as MPs, they had been insensitive to their plight. He said during the COVID-19 pandemic, PWDs were neglected, but he lauded First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa for distributing hampers to students with disabilities. “There must be a law put in place to deal with any person that abuses a person who is disabled. It must not be less than 10 years imprisonment. The 10%-15% which we all know is what they constitute from a demographic point of view must be reflective in government, Parliament, parastatals and representation on boards,” Mliswa said.

By JIM SALTER and GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson steadfastly refused to mandate mask-wearing even as the coronavirus spread across his state this year, telling a group of cattlemen in July, 'You don't need government to tell you to wear a dang mask. If you want to wear a dang mask, wear a mask.' In late September, the Republican governor and his wife both tested positive for the coronavirus, and COVID-19 is now spreading rapidly throughout the state, with rising cases and deaths. Parson, who took office in 2018 after Eric Greitens resigned, […]

Philip Walton is now free after less than a week in the hands of kidnappers. Walton was abducted early Tuesday morning from his farm in Massalata in southern Niger by kidnappers who demanded a ransom from the man's father.
Friday night, a US joint special operations force moved in Nigeria, just across the border, to rescue the American.
\" They went in with a large group, zero casualties. We've got our American citizen, young man, we got our young man back\", US President Donald Trump said, as election day.
Niger has faced a growing number of attacks by extremists linked to both the Islamic State group and to al-Qaida. Walton's abduction came two months after Islamic State-linked militants killed 6 aid workers and their 2 guides in the region.
A U.S. official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the rescue before an official announcement and spoke on condition of anonymity, said there were no solid indications that Walton's kidnapping was terrorism-related and that it was instead ``trending toward a kidnapping for ransom.''
But the official said the U.S. government was concerned that the hostage could be passed to another terrorist group, or that the kidnapping could become a prolonged hostage-taking.
