North Africa: Mena Region - Growth Projected to Pick Up to 4.0 Percent in 2021 (IMF)
Tunis/Tunisia — Real GDP growth in the MENA region is projected to pick up to 4.0 percent in 2021, an upgrade of 0.9 percentage point relative to October, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in a report released Sunday under the title: "Regional Economic Outlook: Middle East and Central Asia." The outlook will vary significantly across countries, depending on the pandemic's path, vaccine rollouts, underlying fragilities, exposure to tourism and contact-intensive sectors. 2021 will be the year of policies that continue saving lives and livelihoods and promote recovery, while balancing the need for debt sustainability and financial resilience. By the end of 2020, thirteen countries had government debt exceeding 70 percent of GDP (compared with nine by the end of 2019). Fourteen countries, compared with five in prepandemic times, had public gross financing needs exceeding 15 percent of GDP.

Virtual Holocaust Remembrance Day Commemoration To Be Held Today
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A virtual commemoration of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, recognizing Southern European and North African communities that were nearly eradicated will be presented today. “It's not as well known that those communities were victims of the Holocaust so we are paying tribute to them. The culture and language of those communities, like Ladino, a Judeo-Spanish Romance language derived from old Spanish, almost completely disappeared.'' and the Greek Jewish community is considered one of the oldest continuous Jewish communities in Europe,'' Kean told City News Service. Under a 1953 law passed by the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, Holocaust Remembrance Day, Yom HaShoah, is annually observed on the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar, which began at sundown Wednesday and ended at sundown Thursday.

Immigration Is the Wealthy World’s Challenge of the Century
There is one obvious common strand in the journeys undertaken by so many millions, amid hardship and often at peril of their lives: Like migrants since the beginning of time, they hope to better themselves. Back in 1971, I made a film for BBC TV in Mauritania, western Africa, about a famine driven by drought across the Sahel region. Working for days among tribesmen in remote places, I was conscious that they viewed me and my camera crew as they might visiting Martians: They had not the remotest conception of what manner of people we were, or what place we had come from.
