Ugandan players and their North African ‘struggles’
Jackson Mayanja, who had considerable success at Egyptian club El-Masry after moving there from the then KCC in 1992 at a reported $30,000 (Shs111m today), comes to mind amongst the scanty successes up north. How a player integrates into a professional set up of a professional club like say Wydad Casablanca, is key. Can they carry themselves around, and act as professional players?” wondered Mukatabala.

Illegal trade contributes to Italian Lanner population crash
43572af1-2896-4f52-80a8-76978d2ded01Italy's breeding population of Lanner Falcon has dramatically collapsed by 50% over the past five years, survey work has found. Worryingly, of the 54 sites checked, only 21 pairs successfully reproduced, with 31 young fledged. The Italian Lanner Falcon population has declined sharply due to poaching of chicks, agricultural intensification and increasing competition with Peregrine Falcon (Dave Williams). Of the 35 sites in Sicily, only 13 were occupied and 10 pairs successfully bred. A similar network has been confirmed in North Africa, where Lanner Falcon is more widespread.

An Arabic Adventure
Cold Spring resident returns from Peace Corps assignment in MoroccoAfter taking an interest in the Middle East in college, Adriana Curto wanted to improve her shaky Arabic language skills. She thought a two-year assignment in the Peace Corps would help, but its programs in Jordan and Tunisia had been discontinued for security reasons. I knew going forward I wanted to be an advocate.”After returning to Cold Spring, she applied for the Peace Corps, which sent her to Rabat, Morocco’s capital, for training, which included eight hours of daily lessons in Arabic. I never felt comfortable, but being comfortable in the Peace Corps doesn’t exist,” she says. During her time abroad, Curto was, naturally, asked for her opinions on politics, although the Peace Corps suggests volunteers remain discreet.

WB Offers Morocco Precautionary Loan of $275 mln to Manage Disasters
Morocco and the World Bank inked a deal under which the North African country shall benefit from a precautionary line of 275 million dollars in the case of natural disasters. The deal was signed in Rabat by Finance Minister Mohammed Benchaaboun and Maghreb director at WB Jesko Hentschel. The World Bank had said in a statement in December that the precautionary line will help Morocco manage the financial impact of natural disasters and climate-related shocks as well as to manage the institutional framework for disaster risk management. It also serves as a complement of private insurance by offering compensation to the uninsured and the most vulnerable. Natural hazards including flash floods and drought have left a devastating impact on many rural areas.

Morocco Reiterates its Rejection of Polisario’s Banditry in Buffer Strip
Morocco has condemned in the strongest terms the banditry practiced by the Polisario militias after the Algerian-backed separatist group threatened to disrupt an international car race crossing the tiny buffer strip between Morocco and Mauritania. The remarks were made by Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita Friday at the inauguration ceremony by Guinea of its consulate in Dakhla in the Sahara. The Polisario had been internationally rebuked for threatening to block the crossing of the Africa Eco Race rally. The success of the Africa Eco Race rally is a “lesson” to the Polisario separatists and Algeria, which comes following a series of diplomatic setbacks notably the opening of five African consulates in the Sahara. The Polisario’s threats to the car race are pitiful and typical of a bandit attitude, said Bourita, adding that it is impossible to reach a settlement of the Sahara issue with “bandits”.
