Le plus comédien haïtien qui était toujours en activité Alcibiade est mort, ce vendredi 21 janvier 2022. L'annonce a été faite, ce dimanche 23 décembre 2022, par Radio Télé Caraïbes (RTVC) où Alcibiade animait une émission.

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

THERE has always been speculation that civil servants are deeply involved in Zanu PF politics. Now citizens wonder no more! editorial comment We hear headmasters and teachers, who are supposed to be in the civil service, have now traded their chalk, for political office ahead of the ruling party district co-ordinating committee (DCC) elections later this week. The teachers and headmasters unashamedly join a magistrate and a prosecutor who have expressed their strong desire to be part of the Zanu PF bandwagon and the ruling party does not appear to see anything untoward with that. This is flagrantly unconstitutional and a wrong precedent. At law, one cannot claim to represent a rainbow public, with all the political colours, on one end and brandish colours of a political party on the other. But the moulten political system in the country has been worsened by Zanu PF allowing all this to happen and going all the way to normalise such imprudent acts. The decision by these government workers to contest for positions in the party defies the claim that Zanu PF has not captured civil servants such that they allow them to go outright political to further their interests. Now that we have a sitting magistrate, a prosecutor, a provincial education director and teachers who want to be in the party structures at the same time wanting to maintain the civil service tag, it is time for Zanu PF to come out clean and act on such. Citizens are told the party is divided on the matter with some insisting civil servants must stay out of politics or resign from public office if they maintain their burning desire to be Zanu PF political actors. It is morally wrong to have civil servants wanting to remain government workers and at the same time being leaders in the governing party. We have seen the ruling party disregarding that and the argument raised by a headmaster in Masvingo province that he will contest and only resign if he wins but remain in the public service if he loses is as low an argument as it is absurd. Refreshingly, we had the Zanu PF secretary for legal affairs Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana recently saying no government employee should contest for political office or assume any position in a political party before resigning from the civil service. Clear and sound, but the disregard of that perfect position by the constitution can only mean Zanu PF is not a disciple of the constitution in this regard. Is it a clear case of ignorance of the power-hungry civil servants or it is absolute arrogance on their part? Are they now above the law? The law is clear and section 200 of the Constitution stipulates that no government employee is allowed to further the interests of any political party or cause or act in a partisan manner. This is a classic test for Zanu PF to act on these errant civil servants if they are not complicity in this constitutional boo-boo.
[Daily Trust] It remains important for the country to note a seeming wave of discordance which is manifesting between the northern elders who are the major determining factor in who gets what - politically speaking in the country, and the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari. In spite of the fact that the advent of the Buhari administration is a direct making of the northern establishment, the former may be progressively unhinging itself from the oversight of the latter. Already there is a disturbing tendency whereby ag

By GRANT PECK and CHALIDA EKVITTHAYAVECHNUKUL Associated Press BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand's highest court is set to rule Wednesday on whether Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has breached ethics clauses in the country's constitution and should be ousted from his position. The Constitutional Court will rule on a complaint brought by the Pheu Thai Party, the largest opposition grouping in Parliament, that Prayuth has broken the law by continuing to live in his military residence after he retired as army commander in September 2014. The ruling comes as Prayuth has been dealing with another major headache, a persistent student-led pro-democracy movement […]
