We’re not out of the virus minefield yet
We’re not out of the virus minefield yetHafed Al-GhwellA general view of empty streets in downtown Cairo, amid the COVID-19 outbreak, during the traditional spring holiday of 'Shem al-Neseem' on May 3, 2021. According to the International Monetary Fund, the region will probably fare better than most other parts of the world as we enter the post-pandemic recovery phase. Worse yet, the fatality rate among medical workers in Egypt is the highest in the world at a time when the entirety of the nation’s public healthcare capacities needs to be harnessed to the fullest extent. Post-pandemic recovery efforts remain part of the temporary Government of National Unity’s limited mandate, but the priority list is long. In turn, the less privileged or working poor will be forced to evade or circumvent life-saving restrictions, providing new opportunities for the virus to spread.

Morocco Says Iran Working on Destabilizing North, West Africa
Rabat - Asharq Al-AwsatMoroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said on Thursday that Iran was acting through its proxies to destabilize the African region and threaten the territorial integrity of Morocco. Bourita stressed that Iran threatens the territorial integrity of Morocco and its security by supporting the Polisario through providing it with arms and training its militia to attack Morocco, recalling that Iran is expanding its influence through Hezbollah. “Iran’s activities in West Africa are damaging the moderate Islam that Morocco has been promoting for centuries in this region and connecting with some proxies, including militant non-state actors,” he said. He noted that currently, Morocco is vigilant of the threats that Iran presents to the security of the Moroccan people. It is a natural decision due to its ties with its Jewish community and to the historic involvement of Morocco in peace,” he stressed.

Pakistan needs its ‘Sputnik’ moment and the model for that is not Dubai Inc.
The two main initiatives launched by the government to promote the technology ecosystem are Special Technology Zones (STZs) and National Incubation Centers (NICs). However, unfortunately these are not the pre-requisites to developing a successful technology ecosystem. Boosting the technology ecosystem is not about building real estate. Many technologies which we use today have directly come out of space research. But the model for that is not Dubai Inc.Ali Farid Khwaja, CFA, is the Chairman of KASB Securities.
