ABIDJAN, July 3, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Contaminated water from a gold mine in Ivory Coast that leaked into a river from a cracked valve "slightly poisoned" 185 people, officials said Tuesday. The Cavally River, an important resource for drinking water and fish for the region's inhabitants, runs for several hundred kilometres (miles) along the west of the country. "The alert was given directly to the local population by Endeavour Mining," said Dao, adding that "dead fish were found the next day". In a statement sent to AFP on Tuesday, Endeavour Mining "categorically rejects the allegations of massive pollution of the Cavally River and of endangering local populations".

Yes, it matters what you say to your cat
When I say “Treat,” he has learned to follow me and he’ll receive a few pieces of his tasty kibble. Michelle Gunter at catster.com says communicating with your cat can make the feline feel understood, strengthen his bond with you, decrease loneliness and stimulate learning. One of the big differences between the three is how much more we talk to Pip than we did the other two. It’s not that we ignored Bailey or Abby, but we do make a conscious effort to talk to Pip. From past encounters, I believe he’s saying, “I’m here, play with me, I’m bored.”So I’m turning off the laptop and grabbing his catnip-filled mouse wand.

Don't trade an imperfect president for one who represents the worst in us
I was never a Trump fanatic — I didn’t have the hat, or a Trump flag in my yard. For many, it can seem like a betrayal to support Biden and the Democrats. That’s why I’m part of a national campaign called Republican Voters Against Trump, which amplifies the voices of former Trump voters who refuse to back him in November — to show just how many of us there are out there. Not all of us are sold on Biden, but we are united in refusing to support Trump on principle. Mike Kabatt (mike.kabatt@gmail.com) lives in Maryland and is a participant in Republican Voters Against Trump, a nationwide campaign of former Trump voters who are not supporting him in 2024.

Naim-Ul-KarimDHAKA, July 3 (Xinhua) -- Devastating floods have left large swaths of land in Bangladesh's northeastern Sylhet division underwater, marking the third wave of flooding in less than a month in the region. More than 1 million people in the northeastern Bangladesh districts including Sylhet and nearby Sunamganj and Moulvibazar were stranded due to extensive flooding after days of heavy rains. Sheikh Russel Hasan, deputy commissioner and district magistrate in Sylhet, told Xinhua Wednesday that the fresh spell of flood triggered by heavy rainfall submerged low-lying areas in parts of Sylhet region. FFWC executive engineer Sardar Udoy Raihan forecast the flood situation in Sylhet region will be prolonged as almost the entire country experienced heavy rainfall triggered by active monsoon. Officials said there are so far no known injuries or deaths to have occurred in the districts as a result of the ongoing floods.
