African Tourism Sector Revamps Exhibitions to Attract Global AttentionTourism fairs across Africa are poised for a significant transformation aimed at aligning with internationally recognized exhibitions. This strategic initiative seeks to attract top-tier buyers in the tourism sector, enhancing the continent’s competitiveness in an ever-evolving global landscape. To successfully reposition these fairs, there is an urgent need to address the fragmentation that has historically diminished the impact of African tourism presentations at trade shows. By cultivating partnerships among member states, Africa can establish a powerful presence in the international tourism market. This collective effort aspires to ensure that African tourism fairs not only attract high-caliber buyers but also play a pivotal role in fostering the continent’s growth in the global tourism arena.

The inaugural Annual Peace and Security Dialogue (ASPD) hosted by the Thabo Mbeki Foundation, kicked off with some inspiring talks from both political leaders and academics. The dialogue serves as a platform to start meaningful conversation about the issues that affect the African continent, as a stepping stone towards creating meaningful change, and finding African solutions for African problems. “Gathered amongst us here today is an array of individuals with vast experience on matters of peace and security,” she said. She said the three main blind spots were uncritical acceptance of external blueprints for responding to African conflicts, the gap between African peace and security norms and their implementation, and flawed leadership approaches at national, continental, and global levels. She added that African leaders must take collective responsibility and ownership of the continent’s security and development agenda.

By our staff reporterIn a shocking legal move, the US law firm Ribbeck Law Chartered is seeking up to $58 billion in compensation for the families of victims killed in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max crash. This amount is more than double the initial $24.8 billion requested by the victims’ families. However, Ribbeck Law Chartered argues that this compensation is grossly inadequate given the scale of Boeing’s misconduct. These include a $25 billion settlement in 2012 involving JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and GMAC, as well as a $16 billion settlement paid by Bank of America in 2014. The Ethiopian Airlines crash on March 10, 2019, killed all 149 people on board, including 9 Ethiopians among 35 other nationalities.
