However, he faced a formidable obstacle in the form of Malik Ambar, who had revived the Ahmadnagar Sultanate and consolidated the resistance of the Deccan states against the Mughals. Jahangir launched several campaigns to subdue Malik Ambar and his allies, but he was repeatedly frustrated by Malik Ambar’s military prowess, diplomatic skills, and guerrilla tactics. Jahangir could not achieve a decisive victory over Malik Ambar, nor could he capture his strongholds or force him to surrender. He vented his anger and contempt for Malik Ambar in his memoirs, the Jahangirnama, and in his commissioned paintings, where he depicted himself shooting arrows at the severed head of Malik Ambar, or crushing him under his foot. Jahangir’s frustrations with Malik Ambar lasted until the latter’s death in 1626, after which the Mughal conquest of the Deccan became easier and fasterImage: Public Domain

By some accounts, the deal provides for Hargeisa to obtain shares in Ethiopian state-owned enterprises such as Ethiopian Airlines. Additionally, the deal with Ethiopia is likely driven by Bihi’s desire to bolster his political standing at home. On 6 January, President Mohamud signed a parliamentary bill declaring the deal “null and void”, though this step was mostly rhetorical. Although Eritrea’s government has been quiet about the deal, President Isaias Afwerki invited Somalia’s President Mohamud to Asmara. Ethiopia, Somaliland and Somalia should strive to de-escalate tensions.

The Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) announced yesterday that disruptions covering multiple cities and towns across Afar, Amhara, and Tigray regions after transmission lines were cut off. It similarly accused the group of disrupting the distribution of soil fertilizer in the region. This comes in the backdrop of resurgence of hostilities across the region including the recent intense fighting in the regional capital Bahir Dar, particularly in localities identified as “Abay Mado” and “Kebele 14,” where exchanges of heavy weaponry were audible.

Hamas’ own draftHamas says Washington’s stance is designed to deflect blame from Israel if the talks collapse. Naim said this was impossible without a ceasefire as hostages were scattered across the war zone. Famine looms over the Gaza Strip as aid supplies, already sharply curtailed during the war, have dwindled to barely a trickle. The US military, in coordination with Jordan, airdropped 36,000 meals into northern Gaza on Tuesday, a program Washington began last week. Aid agencies say this is paltry compared to the scale of the hunger.

UW-Eau Claire alum Sawyer Brice premiered his documentary film, “Pilot: A Jarrah Webster Story” in Minneapolis on Sunday. Jarrah Webster is the name of Babu’s clothing brand, and it also serves as a buffer between himself and the brand. Babu, who Brice described as focused on his craft and a bit introverted, was skeptical of the idea at first.

This plan includes increasing fruit production area and boosting intra-EAC trade, highlighting significant opportunities for logistics companies like MSC. The trade of fruits and vegetables between the EAC and the European Union (EU), valued at approximately $455.9 million annually, coupled with the surge in Africa’s fresh produce exports to fill supply gaps in the EU, the UK, and Asia, underscores the EAC’s pivotal role in the global fresh produce. This presents a unique opportunity for African producers and emphasises the critical need for MSC’s reliable and efficient logistics services to maintain the global fresh produce supply chain balance. These advanced refrigerated containers are equipped with Controlled Atmosphere (CA) technology to regulate carbon dioxide and oxygen levels, keeping fresh produce in perfect condition upon arrival at their destination, in optimal condition – even after very long journeys. MSC’s participation in Fruit Logistica Berlin underscores its dedication to the fresh produce industry, providing efficient and reliable logistics solutions that cater to the dynamic needs of the market.
