US Is So Hung Up On Sanctions That It Doesn’t See They Failed – Anatoly Antonov

Sanctions Harm US Interests And Global Economic Recovery Prospects Antonov Says
Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov

Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov on Thursday said the US is so hung up on sanctions that it doesn’t see they failed.

“Hung up on restrictions, Washington can’t see that its strategy of choice has failed,” the embassy’s press service quoted him as saying. “It’s evident that the attempts to strangle, rip to shreds our economy have failed.”

All the US has achieved is a destabilization of the world economy that was already struggling amid the fallout from the pandemic, the ambassador said. “The restrictions backlash at the masterminds of the sanctions madness,” he said.

Routine business ties have fallen prey to the US policy of sanctions, he said.

“Another result of Washington’s chaotic pileup of meaningless restrictions is that they cause huge costs to businesses and ordinary citizens. Financial institutions and international companies, intimidated by US regulators, are wary of carrying out routine operations. It has even come to the point that when the government attempts to explain to firms there are exceptions to the sanctions, namely in the food sector, that doesn’t work,” he said.

On February 24 Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in response to a request for help by the heads of the Donbass republics. The West retaliated to the Russian decision by imposing sweeping sanctions on the country. Also, Western countries started shipments of weapons to Kiev, which by now are worth billions of dollars.

London's Transport Network On A Halt As Train And Bus Workers Strikes Over Pay

London’s transport network ground to a halt on Friday as train and bus workers held strikes over pay and conditions, the latest in a summer of labor market disputes as double-digit inflation eats into wages.

All London Underground and Overground train lines were suspended or part suspended and dozens of bus routes in the west of the city were disrupted, Transport for London (TfL) said.
Tens of thousands of workers from the UK national rail network walked out on Thursday and will do so again on Saturday.
Commuters across the country have already endured disruption from rail strikes this year, organized by unions demanding pay and conditions for their members that better reflect the soaring cost of living caused by energy price-driven inflation.
Data showed inflation at 10.1% in July, the highest since February 1982, as rising energy costs resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine hit consumers directly through their household bills, and indirectly through rising food prices.
That has led to a standoff between firms, who say rising costs and falling demand limit their room to negotiate, unions who say their workers cannot afford to live and the government, which is worried that big wage increases may fuel inflation.

”The Men and Officers of Operation Lafiya Dole, Security Agencies, and the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) are very much appreciated for their commitment to the fight against insurgency,” presidential aide, Femi Adesina, quoted his principal as saying.

”I commend their professionalism and tactical penetration to the hideout of the criminal elements, leading to appreciable improvement of the security situation in this North East Region, without which the resettlement of the IDPs would not be possible.

”I, therefore, implore you not to relent in your efforts, continue to take the fight to their hideouts, and ensure they are completely eliminated.

”I also implore you to ensure adequate security for farmers in their farming activities. Agricultural activities are most needed for settlement and development of the rural areas and this can only be achieved if the farmers are sure of their safety.”

In Borno, the President directed the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and its agencies to ensure the unimpeded return of Internally Displaced Persons in the North-East.

‘‘On this 2022 World Humanitarian Day and every other day, we stand and shall continue to stand in solidarity with humanitarian aid workers and recognize their tremendous service and sacrifice.

”We celebrate their tireless efforts to save lives, preserve human dignity, and alleviate suffering. لعبة سباق خيول حقيقية Their selfless commitment and actions stand as an example to us all.

Head coach of the home-based Super Eagles, Salisu Yusuf, says the 2023 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) final qualification tie against the Black Galaxies of Ghana is not about revenge.

Yusuf was part of the Eagle coaching crew headed by Austine Eguavoen.

And speaking ahead of the CHAN qualifiers, Yusuf said the home-based Eagles are only concentrated on beating Ghana and pick the ticket for next year’s tournament.

“For me it’s not about revenge it’s about qualification,” he said on Brila FM.

“So the most important thing is for us to qualify and to qualify we have to beat Ghana and it’s our wish and prayer that will happen.”

The Black Galaxies progressed into the play-off round after overcoming Benin Republic.

Why Muslim-Muslim Ticket Is Problematic For Nigeria – PFN

Dr. Cosmos Ilechukwu, the General Secretary, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has stated that same-faith tickets, either Christian-Christian or Muslim-Muslim, will not augur well for the unity and future of Nigeria.

The position of the group was made known by Ilechukwu at a press conference on the state of the nation, held at the PFN National Secretariat in Lagos on Thursday.

He said the decision of some political parties to go by the same faith ticket would only further jeopardize the future of the nation, hence a framework had been prepared by the Christian Association of Nigeria as a guide for all Christians on how to vote for the best candidate.

PUNCH correspondent who sighted the guide embedded in a flier which captures four key areas highlighted for Christian voters to consider before voting said the areas are character, competence, capacity, and policies of the candidate or party.

The statement read, “The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria reaffirms its position that the same-faith ticket can, in no way, be justified, as it is not in the interest of Nigeria, as it further jeopardizes the prospects of peaceful coexistence and building of a united nation. افضل موقع مراهنات عربي

“PFN has never been in the business of endorsing candidates and will not be doing so in the 2023 elections. مراهنات كرة قدم However, it will continue to mobilize the church to ensure full participation in the political process by all Christians. ويليام هيل ”

Minister of Education Doesn’t Deserve A National Honour – NANS

The Federal Government has again threatened that members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, who are currently on strike, will not receive salary.

Adamu Adamu, the Minister of Education, said lecturers would not be paid for the six months they are absent
from work.

He disclosed that the measure would serve as a penalty over the “behavior of ASUU.”

Addressing State House Correspondents in Abuja yesterday, the Minister said lecturers would think twice before they join strike.

According to Adamu: “I think the stand that the government has taken now, not to pay, I think that’s the only thing in the hand of the government to ensure that there’s penalty for some behavior like this.

“I believe teachers will think twice before they join strike if they know that at the end, they are not going to be paid.

“The government is not acting arbitrarily. There is a law and I believe this is going to be a strong element to deter many from going on strike.”

Eid El Fitri: Gov. Matawalle Felicitates With Muslim Faithful
Gov. Bello Matawalle

Zamfara State government has said that in its efforts to address the teething insecurity situation ravaging the State, it has established an emergency call centre for the general public.

This was contained in a press statement issued to newsmen in Gusau, the State capital, by the Commissioner for information, Hon. Ibrahim Magaji Dosara.

According to the statement, the emergency call centre, 112, is free of charge and can be called by any citizen from anywhere in case of any attack, kidnapping, cattle rustling, movement of bandits and other criminals.

“The call to the centre will immediately be verified, processed and directed to the appropriate security operatives for necessary rescue operations across the 14 local government areas of the State.

“People are, therefore, advised to make use of the opportunity to call the emergency call centre to inform the government of the emergency situation or challenges facing them to enable the government to swing into a rescue mission,” he said.

The commissioner said the decision of the government to establish the emergency call centre was to ease and facilitate citizens in reaching out to authorities or security operatives in terms of the security breach by bandits and other criminals in all the nooks and crannies of the State.

“It may be recalled that citizens are apprehensive of exposing bandits and informants due to the fear of being killed.

“However, with the new emergency call centre, people can now call to tell their ordeal without the fear of being exposed to bandits when they share intelligence.

“With this development, Zamfara became the first State in Nigeria to establish such an emergency call centre for security,” he added.
