South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says It was our place to get involved and that the ICJ’s ruling must be respected by all who recognise the court, including Israel. Speaking after the court’s ruling on the application brought by his country, Ramaphosa says South Africa expects Israel, “as a self-proclaimed democracy, and as a state that respects the rule of law,” to abide by the ruling. “Some have told us we should mind our own business and not get involved in the affairs of other countries and yet it is very much our place as the people who know too well the pain of dispossession, discrimination, state-sponsored violence,” he said. He said following the ruling, there should be more effort towards a ceasefire, and an end to the conflict through a two-state solution that would grant Palestinians self-determination. https://tribuneonlineng.com/icj-orders-israel-to-halt-killings-in-gaza-but-no-cease-fire/YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THESE HEADLINES FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNEI receive threats over comment on powerful Nigerians behind banditry, illegal mining — AlakeMinister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, has confirmed that following his comment on how powerful Nigerians are funding banditry associated with…Why Abba Kyari fought me till death — Femi AdesinaFormer presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, has revealed the behind the scene intrigues that set him up against…OFFCUT: Remove subsidy, give us prepaid meters, Nigerians react to 700bn electricity subsidyNigerians have reacted to the huge amount of money used by the Federal Government to…I was doing poorly in class until…— Afe BabalolaThe founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), stated that he was doing poorly in class until…
