  • Anti Bashir Protests Sweep Through Khartoum

    In Nothern Sudan political tension is high as Protests broke out as planned following Friday prayer’s in different parts of Sudan’s capital Khartoum as well as two regional towns amid reports of severe crackdowns by police and security forces.

    The demonstrations first brokeout in Wad Nubawi Mosque in Khartoum’s sister-city of Omdurman where around 300 protesters including members of the Ansar sect of the opposition National Umma Party (NUP) started chanting slogans calling for the downfall of the government as soon as the prayer ended.

    Witnesses said that police forces supported by plain clothed security agents fired heavy teargas and rubber bullets on the protesters inside the mosque.

    Activists say that the protests are currently spreading across other parts of Omdurman, including Ombada area.

    Simultaneously, protests erupted in Al-Haj Youssef and Shambat neighbourhoods in Khartoum North, also known as Bahri, where activists say police and security agents are firing heavy tear gas and arresting protesters.

    Activists are also reporting that demonstrations erupted following Friday prayer in the central market in Kassala town in the eastern region as well as in Al-Obayid town in North Kordofan State.

    The current protest movement in Sudan started two weeks ago as the government moved to implement a set of anti-austerity measures including cuts of fuel subsides in order to make up for what officials say is a budget deficit of $2.4 billion US.

    Since then, the protests have been widening with protesters across several parts of the country burning tires, blocking roads and chanting slogans calling for the downfall of the government.

  • Rwandan Traders Dominate Dar es Salaam Trade Show

    Traders from Rwanda have overshadowed Tanzanians at the 36th Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

    The Rwandan dealers have specialised in setting pavilions of handicraft products made in Rwanda.

    They are said to have done enough preparations for setting pavilions to exhibit their commodities.

    Commodities on exhibition ranged from clothing materials, foot-ware, computer accessories, electric and electronic equipment, building materials to various forms of cellphones and automobile spare parts.

    Chinese traders have also meticulously presented their pavilions and products at the famous Kikwete ground, which was occupied by the Tanzania Health and Social Welfare ministry in 2011, is now occupied by Chinese dealers who have erected over 50 pavilions.

    Tanzania’s acting director general of TanTrade, Samuel Mvingira, says the Chinese had fielded more than 20 companies adding that, “This time there are many Chinese and Rwandese exhibitors.

    In fact, they have overtaken others in terms of preparations.

    There are some exhibitors from China that have failed to occupy pavilion spaces.”

  • AU Commission Boss Lobbying for Re-Election

    Jean Ping, the chairman of the African Union Commission,is on a West African tour which political strategists perceive as intended to woo west African leaders ahead of the next round of electing the Commission chief.

    Ping is being challenged by South Africa’s Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma that already enjoys the support of the 15-nation Southern African Development Community (SADC).

    The AU summit convenes this July to elect the AU Commission chairman.

    The incumbent AU commission boss Ping ,met Sierra Leonean President Ernest Bai Koroma on Wednesday before leaving for Monrovia for talks with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

    Earlier in January, a tight election last failed to come up with a clear winner with neither candidate able to secure the necessary two-thirds majority vote.

    South Africa has also been lobbying African nations to back Mrs Dlamini-Zuma.

    However, West Africa, under the leadership of regional power Nigeria, is said to be backing Ping from Gabon.

    Ping has accused the continent’s largest economy of disregarding an unwritten agreement which bars it and other regional powers like Nigeria, Algeria and Egypt from vying for the presidency of the AU Commission.

    It is understood that Ping has personally enlisted the support of Gabonese President Ali-Ben Bongo Ondimba in the lobbying campaign.

    Leaders of the four-nation Mano River Union (MRU) comprising Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Ivory Coast, during their recent gathering in Conakry, agreed to adopt a common position on the AU Commission chairmanship election.

  • Surgeon Removes 5-inch Worm from Patients Eye

    In India, a 75-year-old man had a 5 inches long worm removed from his eye after a thrilling operation at Mumbai’s Fortis Hospital this week.

    After thorough examination, the surgeon Dr V. Seetharaman pin-pointed a threadlike creature under a microscope on Wednesday.

    The patient had previously complained of persistent pain in his eye for more than two weeks with redness and irritation.

    “He was also confused and very much disturbed,” said Seetharaman.
    The eye expert was shocked by the highly unusual sight of the writhing parasite and had to operate speedily to remove it before serious damage was caused.

    “It was wriggling under the conjunctiva,” Seetharaman said, referring to the thin membrane lining the eye. “It was the first time in my career of 30 years that I had seen such a case.”

    The specialist removed the 13-centimetre (five-inch) worm by making a small opening in the conjunctiva — a 15-minute operation that was observed by the patient’s horrified wife, Saraswati.

    “It just kept moving and jumping; it was scary for a bit,” she told Indian Press.

    The patient was relieved of his symptoms while the worm, which was alive for another 30 minutes after surgery, was sent to the hospital’s microbiologists to be identified.

    Seetharaman had previously only heard of worms of about two to three centimetres being removed. “Probably this is a record,” he said.

    He suggested the creature could have entered the patient from a cut in his foot or from eating raw or improperly cooked food, before entering the bloodstream and travelling to the eye.

    “If the worm was not removed it could have gone into the layers of the eye and caused visual loss,” he said. “It could have entered the brain and caused major neurological problems.”

  • Army Week Medical Services Exceed Target

    Towards the conclusion of Army Week medical services to the communities of Rusizi and Nyamasheke,12,232 people received treatment.

    The number exceeded the target of 10,000 that had been planned, with two days ahead for completion of the Army Week.

    The achievements have been due to great dedication and cooperation from local authorities, Security Forces and Rwanda Military Hospital (RMH) Medical Team in the field.

    People have responded by turning up in big numbers since the launch of medical services on Monday 25 June.

    The population has appreciated the opportunity for them to have specialists’ doctors in their communities as they had to make long distances to the main Hospitals at Huye or Kigali City.

    Kigali is about 6 hours from Rusizi by road transport. Many people using “mutuel” or medical insurance can benefit from services at main Hospitals only when they are recommended by Districts Hospitals.

    However, during the Army Week, residents had specialist doctors at their Health Centers.

    The outreach program organized by Rwanda Military Hospital is done by a multidisciplinary medical team of orthopedic surgeons, general surgeons, ophthalmologists, physiotherapists, dermatologists, radiologists, gynecologists and others.

    It is being conducted at different health centers of Bushenge, Kibogora and Karengera in Nyamasheke district and Gihundwe, Nkanka, Muganza, Mibirizi and Bweyeye in Rusizi district in commemoration of 50 years of independence and 18 years of liberation.
