Hands off Hugo: North Africa shows interest, but Broos commits to Bafana... unless SAFA say otherwise
Bafana Bafana's journey at the month-long Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast was nothing short of remarkable for a team that flew under the radar. Amidst the roaring crowds, electrifying matches, and almost always defying the odds, one figure stood tall during triumphs and tribulations: head coach Hugo Broos. As the dust begins to settle on Bafana's third-place penalty shootout victory against the Democratic Republic of the Congo on Saturday evening, Broos made a resounding declaration: his commitment to the South African national men's senior team remains unwavering.

Morocco dinosaur discovery gives clues on why they went extinct
It’s not just that dinosaur fossils are so rare; the fossil record is also patchy. Because it’s such a huge landmass, Africa probably had far more dinosaur species than North America. And in Morocco, we’ve studied lots of marine fossils. In recent months, more dinosaur fossils and more species have turned up. What our findings showAfrica’s last dinosaurs, especially its diverse predatory dinosaurs, suggest that immediately before their extinction, the dinosaurs thrived.

The Velvet Revolution's Call: Democratizing the Middle East and North Africa
Yet, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region remains steadfastly resistant to the trend towards liberal democracy. The Berlin Wall's ShadowThe Berlin Wall's fall marked the end of a 40-year era of socialist rule in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). AdvertismentWhile the Berlin Wall now stands as a symbol of freedom and unity, its legacy extends far beyond Germany's borders. The Velvet Revolution AwaitsThe prospect of a velvet revolution in the MENA region draws inspiration from the non-violent transitions that occurred in Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and other Eastern Bloc countries during the late 1980s. AdvertismentAs the MENA region embarks on its journey towards democracy, it is crucial to learn from the lessons of history.

Tuareg Separatists Lift Road Blockades in Northern Mali
Tuareg separatists announced Saturday the lifting of blockades they'd set up in December on main roads throughout northern Mali after the national army took back several towns. The Taureg-dominated rebel groups lost control of several localities in the north of the country after an army offensive in late 2023 that culminated with the taking of Kidal, a bastion of the separatist movement. The military junta that seized power in a 2020 coup largely won those exchanges, but the rebels didn't surrender and retreated into remote desert and mountainous areas. In December, the rebels blocked all products and types of vehicles in the sparsely populated north. There also have been accusations of atrocities committed against civilians during the recent offensive by Mali's army and the Russian force, which again the authorities have repeatedly denied.

What the World Got Wrong About Frantz Fanon
The subtitle of Adam Shatz’s new biography, The Rebel’s Clinic: The Revolutionary Lives of Frantz Fanon, suggests that his life was not so simple. Fanon’s parents identified so deeply with the French Republic that they behaved “more French than the French,” Shatz writes. It was not until Fanon joined the Free French Forces in World War II that his faith in European civilization was shaken. Following an FLN expedition to Mali to assess the possibility of a weapons corridor to southern Algeria, Fanon fell ill and was diagnosed with leukemia. Shatz does suggest that one aspect of Fanon’s work is most relevant for our world today.

AFCON-2025 in Morocco will be ‘huge success’ – CAF President – The North Africa Post
The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to be held in Morocco in 2025 will be “excellent” and will undoubtedly be a “huge success”, said, on Friday, president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Patrice Motsepe. “The next AFCON will be of a very high standard. “Africa is proud of Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria and all twenty-four teams taking part in this AFCON,” he noted, pointing out that CAF’s objective is to raise the level of football in every African country, particularly amateur and school football. “Africa’s success depends on Africans. The key to success is to work hand in hand, provided we allow young people to contribute to the development of our continent,” he stressed.

What 100,000-year-old footprints in Morocco tell us about early humans
These are the first early human tracks to have been discovered in North Africa and the Southern Mediterranean. The arch of the indentations, rounded heels and the marks of short toes confirmed that they were tracks from Homo sapiens or modern humans like us. The preceding Middle to Late Pleistocene, encompassing the periods from 770,000 to 120,000 years ago, is broadly believed to be the age when ancient humans – separate from modern humans – roamed the earth. But footprints also give scientists an estimated timeframe to work out when humans started branching out and moving across the globe. For years, researchers held that modern humans first arrived in Alaska and spread through North America about 13,000 to 16,000 years ago after the last Ice Age.

Red Sea crisis reflects on India Inc’s Q3 show
Red Sea crisis reflects on India Inc’s Q3 showShare This News Story:NEW DELHI : Indian companies are beginning to report early signs of the Israel-Hamas conflict’s impact on business operations, limited to those with exposures to either commodity supplies or related foreign markets. The rise in freight costs, delays in deliveries, and shrinkage in export market size, with resultant margin recovery delays, are some of the challenges faced, informed by industry executives. Capital goods and engineering companies like Bharat Electronics (BEL), TD Power Systems, and KEC International have noted some operational strain owing to Red Sea woes. Indian companies use the Red Sea route through the Suez Canal to trade with Europe, North America, North Africa, and part of West Asia. These regions accounted for 50 percent of India’s exports worth 18 trillion and 30 percent of imports worth 17 trillion in 2022-23, according to CRISIL Ratings data.
