OBAMA TO SEND ABOUT 250 MORE TROOPS TO SYRIA ON MONDAY

 

US President Barack Obama will on Monday announce plans to send up to 250 more military personnel to Syria, according to a senior administration official, intensifying US assistance to rebels as a ceasefire falters.

Obama "tomorrow will announce that he has authorized up to 250 additional forces deploying to Syria," the source said, adding that the president would confirm the deployment in a speech in the northern city of Hanover.

US troops in Syria are mandated to advise and assist Syrian rebel and anti-Islamic State forces.

Obama is currently in Germany for talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The pair will be joined Monday by leaders from Britain, France and Italy, a meeting called at Obama's request and which looks set to focus on the fight against the Islamic State group.

"The president has authorized a series of steps to increase support for our partners in the region, including Iraqi security forces as well as local Syrian forces who are taking the fight to ISIL," said the official.

Obama is set to announce the decision at the Hanover trade fair before the meeting with European leaders.

On Sunday Obama pressed for parties to the Syrian conflict to return the negotiating table and "reinstate" a faltering internationally-brokered ceasefire.

"I spoke to (Russian) President Vladimir Putin early last week to try to make sure that we could reinstate the cessation of hostilities," Obama told a news conference in Germany.

That was the clearest indication yet that the White House believes the increasingly troubled ceasefire has disintegrated as regime and rebel bombardments claimed 26 lives Sunday.

The White House has argued that the ceasefire, while imperfect, is worth pursuing and is the only way out of the brutal five-year war.

But its stance is bringing Washington and its allies into ever more conflict with rebel groups on the ground, which continue to be on the receiving end of regime attacks.

Pressure on Obama is increasing in the United States, which is in the throes of a fiercely fought presidential election race, and from European allies who want to halt a massive influx of refugees.

Many of Obama's critics have called for a safe zone to be established, something that could bring Western militaries into direct conflict with Russian and Syrian forces already in the area.

Obama insisted that establishing a safe zone "is not a matter of an ideological objection on my part".

"As a practical matter, sadly, it is very difficult to see how it would operate short of us essentially being willing to militarily take over a big chunk of that country."

Obama has come under criticism for his handling of Syria's war, with opponents saying he could have done more to stem the bloodshed.

But the US president -- who came to power vowing to withdraw US troops from Iraq and Afghanistan -- has stood fast in his opposition to plunging the United States into another ground war in the Muslim world.

THE WORST LEAD POISON OUTBREAK IN NIGERIA

In March 2010, the international humanitarian organization Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders, MSF) discovered an outbreak of lead poisoning in remote villages in Zamfara State, Nigeria. More than 17,000 people were severely poisoned and 400-500 children died as a result of soil lead contamination associated with artisanal gold mining/processing in residential compounds. International organizations collaborated with Nigerian health authorities and local civil and traditional governments to provide emergency medical, environmental, technical, and public health response.

Remediation activities, conducted in three phases from May 2010 to July 2013, were modeled on Idaho/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency “Superfund” protocols. Post-cleanup activities included medical treatment in MSF-run clinics, monitoring the sustainability of the remediation, and implementation of safer mining practices. The epidemic has been characterized as unprecedented, and the ensuing cleanup one of the largest and most comprehensive ever undertaken by an African government. 

Remediating the villages presented numerous resource, logistic, cultural, institutional, and technical challenges. The remote area is difficult to access and has little infrastructure. Village life is ruled by overlapping civil, tribal, and Sharia governments, exhibits gender-segregated social structure, suffers numerous endemic diseases with limited healthcare, and a workforce dependent on primitive tools and labor practices. The cleanup evolved from an emergency response initially developed and directed largely by international personnel from TerraGraphics (TG) to a multi-disciplinary program carried out by Nigerian federal, state, and local governments employing village workers.

The Source of Lead Poisoning

The source of the epidemic was artisanal gold mining that became prolific in 2009-10. For several months, ore processing was conducted at numerous sites within the villages. Because local religious and cultural practices include the sequestration of married women, ore crushing, washing, and gold recovery were undertaken within homes to utilize the women’s labor. During the rapid increase in mining activities, a dangerous gold ore exceeding 10% lead was introduced. By April 2010, with death and illness prevalent, the local Emirates ordered a temporary suspension of artisanal ore processing and later required that all operations be moved approximately outside the villages. However, extremely hazardous waste and contaminated soils remained in the residences and communal areas.

MSF/TG focused on emergency medical treatment and environmental response. MSF, ZMOH, and FMOH developed village chelation therapy clinics. All entities agreed that children could not live in contaminated homes as it would compromise the treatment. Coupled with local resistance to relocation, this required the villages to be remediated prior to commencing chelation.

Remediation Activities

Remediation continued over three and one-half years in three phases, encompassing 8 villages and 17,000 residents.

Phase I Remediation was an emergency response in two villages (Dareta and Yargalma). While MSF and ZMOH established village clinics and implemented treatment protocols, TG and ZMOE developed emergency remediation protocols appropriate to local resources. The work was conducted by ZMOE with TG providing technical guidance. By September 2010, remediation and relocation of mining activities had reduced the average blood lead level of children entering treatment from 173 µg/dL to 86 µg/dL. 

• June 2010-July 2011
• Funding: Zamfara State, TG, Blacksmith Institute (BI), and MSF
• 148 Homes remediated
• Exposures reduced for >2,100 residents
• Allowed MSF to treat >100 children

Phase II Remediation addressed five villages (Abare, Duza, Sunke, Tungar Daji, and Tungar Guru) resident to 6,385 people. During Phase II, further investigation by the CDC and Nigerian authorities suggested that artisanal gold mining was occurring in other areas and significant lead contamination was confirmed in more than 30 villages. Another study revealed water quality problems related to the mining activities.

Additional surveys conducted by TG and ZMOE found extensive contamination in Bagega Village, where 1,500 children under age five were at severe risk for lead poisoning. An adjacent abandoned processing site (Industrial Area) had more than 8,700 cubic meters of high concentration lead waste extending into the main water reservoir serving the region. 

• October 2011 - March 2011
• Funding: United Nations (UN) Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Zamfara State, TG, and BI
• Exposures reduced for >6300 people
• Allowed MSF to treat >1,200 children

Phase III commenced following 18 months of advocacy encouraging the Nigerian federal government to complete the remediation in Bagega. TerraGraphics International Foundation (TIFO), the non-profit humanitarian successor to TG, was retained to provide remediation oversight when funding was released in February 2013. Efforts are ongoing by the Nigerian governments and the affected communities to sustain the remedy and adopt safer mining techniques.

• February - July 2013
• Funding: Nigerian Federal Government
• 352 homes, 54 public areas, the Industrial Area, the contaminated reservoir remediated
• Exposures reduced for >7,000 residents
• Allowed MSF to treat >650 children 

Summary

• >27,000 cubic meters of contaminated soils and mining waste removed
• 820 residential compounds and ore processing areas in 8 villages remediated
• Soil lead exposures decreased 97%
• 2349 children to received chelation treatment
• Mean pre-treatment blood lead levels for children <five years of age declined from 173 µg/dL to <20 µg/dL over the four year remedial program
• > 2,300 children < 5 years of age received chelation therapy

The unprecedented outbreak and subsequent response demonstrate that, given sufficient political will and modest investment, the world’s most challenging environmental health crises can be addressed and resolved within the capabilities of host countries.

OIL CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA

Over the last decade we have worked with and supported many local partner organisations and communities in the Niger Delta on the issues that affect them. Issues such as improving oil spill response and compensation, mediating inter-communal conflicts, addressing local energy needs, supporting the struggle against slum clearance, monitoring elections, dealing with corruption and striving for environmental and social justice. In this time we have learned that it is only when Civil Society, Government and Industry work together can truly sustainable solutions be found that will help build a lasting peace.

Carter Center Celebrates 100 Elections

 

Twenty-six years ago, in May 1989, The Carter Center sent its first-ever team of election observers to Panama, where their work exposed General Manuel Noriega's scheme to falsify tally sheets to swing the elections in favor of his handpicked candidate. That set in motion a series of events that led to Noriega's downfall and the instatement of the rightful president. It also established The Carter Center as a leader in what was then the still relatively new field of election observation.

In the intervening years, the Center's observation teams have witnessed elections in 38 countries. Their arrival — always at critical times in a country's history — helps ensure that human rights and democratic values are respected and inspires confidence in the voting process. The Carter Center has developed a reputation as a trusted, impartial witness who speaks the truth.

In May 2015, The Carter Center observed its 100th election, this one in Guyana. As we celebrate this important milestone, we take time to reflect on some of the 99 that have preceded it.

A LION WAS SHOT DEAD IN KENYA AFTER A CHAOTIC ATTACK

Kenyan wildlife rangers have shot dead a male lion that had wandered out of Nairobi National Park and attacked a person.

The lion entered the village of Isinya at about 40 kilometres south of the capital, where a crowd gathered around it and it slightly injured one person, Kenya Wildlife Service spokesman Paul Gathitu said.

A veterinary team had been called to sedate the lion, so it could be brought back, but they did not arrive before the situation became "chaotic" and rangers shot the animal, the spokesman said.

Nairobi National Park, which is not entirely fenced, has more than 30 lions.

Another lion left the park in March, injured one person, then found its way back to the park.

YAW AMPOFO ANKRAH CALLED ON GHANAIAN CLUBS TO BRAND THEIR CLUBS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Experienced sports journalist Yaw Ampofo Ankrah has called on Ghanaian clubs to capitalize on social media in a bid to package and brand their clubs to a higher level.

The former Metro TV sports host and current anchor for Super Sports charged the entire football family to feast on the viral nature of the numerous social media platforms if they are to project the image of local football beyond the country.

The Ghana Beach Soccer Association President cited the localized branding of the South African Premiership as a starting block to follow in the packaging and re-branding exercise that has long term effects on the league at large.

Yaw Ampofo Ankrah cited the ease to which vital statistics, images and other content can be accessed as one of the reasons why the other leagues have more followers but was quick to suggest we follow suit.

“Social media is a very important tool with regards to branding of the league. South Africa mastered the art of branding and their stadiums which has had great effect on their game,” he said.

“Branding of the local language as in the Zulu commentary can satisfy both ends on the local scene. Contents on the clubs such as statistics and packaging will help panelists, analysts and other reporters”, Yaw Ankrah told sportscrusader.com.

He continued, “In Ghana we sort of assume that numbers alone indicate success but we need a lot of efforts to really promote the league not just on Hearts and Kotoko matches only”.

“People don’t understand the importance of branding and marketing to the image of the club. The major stakeholder should also understand the need to work in tandem with the media to promote the league (using social media as a strong tool)”, the super sports anchor concluded.

The 2016 Ghana Premier League season has enjoyed massive patronage as compared to the previous seasons and the influx of social media such as twitter, Facebook, audioboom, Instagram, wechat and the club’s official websites can only project the image of a club beyond the confines of the nation.

AVRAM GRANT HAS WITHDRAWN HIS NASTY COMMENT

 

Ghana coach Avram Grant has withdrawn his nasty comment after Black Stars 3-1 win over Mozambique in a 2017 Nations Cup qualifier on Thursday.

The former Chelsea manager said at the post match conference: “If this nation will concentrate on the football and not the bullshit, and just the football because there is a lot of passion, we can reach higher, high level. It is a long term target, but it’s achievable.”

His choice of word did not go down well with Ghanaians with outspoken and controversial football administrator Alhaji Abdul Karim Grusah calling for his head.

But Grant after supervising the double-header against the Os Mambas and maintaining the Black Stars at the summit of Group H, the 60-year-old

“First, I withdraw this word. Just the thing I will like to say is I love Ghana and I respect Ghanaians and I care about the Ghanaian team,” he told the Ghana FA Communication Division.

“What I wanted to say is we need everybody not to focus on the unnecessary thing, only to focus about the most important thing that our leaders that can make the change can focus on the important things that can take us forward and not about negative things."

It is unknown if the Ghana FA will accept his apology or push for further punishment.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS OUT FOR A 3- DAY VISIT IN CUBA

He is the first sitting US president to visit since the 1959 revolution, which heralded decades of hostility between the two countries. For a US president to touch down at Jose Marti airport in Havana and be warmly greeted by Cuban's foreign minister was until recently unthinkable.
For decades, the US and Cuba were engaged in a bitter stand-off, triggered by the overthrow of US-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista by Communist leader Fidel Castro in 1959.The US broke off diplomatic relations and imposed a trade embargo.But President Obama undertook two years of secret talks which led to the announcement in December 2014 that the two countries would restore diplomatic relations.
Since then, there have been a series of symbolic moments, such as the first formal meeting of Presidents Obama and Castro at a regional summit in Panama and the opening of embassies in Havana and Washington DC.


President Barack Obama said to Cuban President Raul Castro that in no time, change would happen in Cuba.

The two Presidents are due to meet later on Monday to talk about trade and to hold a joint news conference.

THE PURPOSE OF HIS VISIT
The first stop on President Obama's tour was the newly re-opened US embassy in Havana, where he told the staff it was "wonderful to be in Cuba".

But it was the visit to Havana's old town which brought home the long way US-Cuban relations have come since the thaw was announced 15 months ago.

While the plan to interact with Cubans in the streets was disrupted by a tropical storm, the image of the US president and his family braving the rain demonstrated to many Cubans his commitment to the new, warmer relationship.


Later on Monday, President Obama is due to get down to the nitty gritty of politics with Cuban leader Raul Castro.

Their meeting at the Palace of the Revolution will be closely scrutinised for signs of how much practical progress has been made.

Ahead of the meeting, President Obama said he believed that "change is going to happen here and I think that Raul Castro understands that".

He also told US broadcaster ABC that he would be announcing that Google had made a deal with the Cuban authorities to expand Cuba's poor wifi and broadband access.

There have been a series of other agreements between the two countries since the thaw was announced, including commercial deals on telecoms and a scheduled airline service, increased co-operation on law enforcement and environmental protection.

Many Cubans are hoping their economy will receive a further boost from further openness and reforms as well as US investment.

Cuban officials are banking on a growth in US tourists visiting the island as restrictions on US citizens travelling there are eased further.

On Sunday, US hotel company Starwood announced it had become the first US firm to agree a deal with the Cuban authorities since the revolution of 1959.

The company said it would be making a "multimillion-dollar investment" to bring three Cuban hotels "up to our standards".
What could possibly go wrong?

While President Obama's agenda was carefully discussed with Cuban officials, one thing the White House has insisted on is a meeting between the president and Cuban dissidents, whether the Cubans like it or not.

Among them are expected to be members of the Ladies in White, a group which campaigns for the release of political prisoners.

Only hours before President Obama touched down, dozens of their members were arrested during their weekly protest in Havana.

The meeting between the dissidents and Mr Obama is scheduled for Tuesday.

Another main sticking point between the two countries is the 54-year-old US trade embargo.

While strolling through Havana's old town on Sunday, one Cuban shouted: "Down with the embargo!"

The problem for President Obama is that it can only be lifted by the US Congress, which is controlled by Republicans who have expressed their opposition to its removal.

On the Cuban side, analysts say there are conflicting sentiments within the Communist Party over hosting President Obama.

The Director General of the US division at the Cuban Foreign Ministry told the BBC's Will Grant that "matters of sovereignty of the Cuban people" would remain firmly off the agenda.
Many observers have also noted that President Obama is not scheduled to meet Raul Castro's younger brother, the leader of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro.

The elder Castro has only made one official statement about the thaw in relations, and it was hardly a ringing endorsement: "I don't trust in the United States' policy, nor have I exchanged a word with them".
