Rose heads out to sea in eastern Tunisia. More than a month ago, she had become entangled in fishing nets before being taken to the "Sea Turtle First Aid Center" in Sfax (central-eastern Tunisia), a member of the European "Life Med Turtles" program, one of two of its kind in Tunisia along with the one in Monastir (eastern Tunisia). In North Africa, these are the only care facilities for the loggerhead turtle, or Caretta Caretta by its scientific name, the most widespread species in the Mediterranean and one of the most at-risk. Now, at the Sfax Care Center, it's often the fishermen who bring in the injured Caretta Caretta, recognizable by their enormous heads. Due to heavy pollution of their habitat, Caretta Caretta absorb toxic metals such as mercury, which can harm human health.

It is the new foot-on-the-ground version of imperialism being practised by the US through Israel, its surrogate in the region. Alongside its mammoth wartime size, being a nuclear power, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have a very capable modern air force. To a great extent, the Israeli military does depend on its partnership with the US. President Joe Biden has already pledged to stand by Israel, seemingly giving the green light for a continued operation, including ground incursion. If Israel does not have the notion of greater Israel in sight, why is this apartheid regime asking for the displacement of all Palestinians from Gaza?

Considerations include complying with public authorities that regulate the telecommunications industry, maintaining defined service levels with customers, the health and safety of workers, and environmental protection. These regulations force telcos to deploy customer engagement solutions, workflow automation, and data consolidation for real-time oversight and easier proof of compliance. Open RAN aims to achieve interoperability and standardisation of radio access network elements across various software and hardware providers. Two of the lowest-ranking service management pressures faced by telcos were increased complexity of assets and service delivery. Replacing legacy systems with a future-proof service management platform that offers embedded innovations allows telcos to automate internal operations, leading to lower costs, higher workforce efficiencies, faster innovation and more streamlined service experiences.
