Newly appointed Home Minister Sudan Gurung poses for a picture after taking oath at “Shital Niwas”, the presidential building in Kathmandu. (Reuters/File Photo) Nepal’s home minister stepped down Wednesday over growing criticism of his finances, the second member of the cabinet to leave the new government just weeks after it was formed.Sudan Gurung, a key figure in the Gen-Z protests in September that toppled Nepal’s previous government, said he was leaving his post ensure a “fair investigation”.”For me, morality is greater than a position and there is no greater power than public trust… Public life should be clean, leadership should be accountable,” said 38-year-old Gurung, who took office on March 27.Gurung is the second minister to leave the new government after the labour minister Deepak Kumar Sah was dismissed over allegations of committing misconduct by getting his wife appointed to a health insurance board.Dipa Dahal, press adviser to Prime Minister Balendra Shah, confirmed Gurung’s resignation had been received.Gurung participated in the deadly protests that began as a demonstration against a brief social media ban, but were fed by wider grievances over corruption and a poor economy.At least 76 people were killed and more than 2,500 wounded during the two days of violence in September.In January, Gurung joined the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and won a seat in parliament after the party swept to a landslide victory in the March elections.Gurung made headlines a day after taking his oath of office for arresting former prime minister KP Sharma Oli and ex-home minister Ramesh Lekhak for their alleged involvement in the deadly crackdown on protesters in September.’Impartial’ probe But soon he himself was beset by allegations over his financial investments and assets, as well as links with a businessman being investigated for money laundering.Last week, Shah and his cabinet disclosed their assets to the public, in line with local laws requiring lawmakers to declare their financial status.Soon after the disclosure, local media reported that Gurung had not revealed some of his financial investments.At least two Nepali websites published a government-stamped document that listed Gurung as an investor in a company that he did not specifically name in his disclosures.Gurung claimed that he had lumped his investments together in the disclosure documents.Public pressure had since been mounting on the government to investigate Gurung.The opposition Nepali Congress said it would not be possible to carry out an impartial probe if Gurung remained in his position.”It is natural that there will be doubt over direct or indirect influence over the investigation process,” it said in a statement on Monday, calling for an “independent and impartial” probe.On Monday, Gurung dismissed the allegations as “rumours” and denied withholding information regarding his investments.”I would just like to say that accusations and truth are not the same thing. Decisions should be based on evidence, not emotion,” he said on social media.Earlier this month, the government formed a five-member commission led by a former Supreme Court judge to investigate the assets of politicians and officials.The commission was a part of the government’s 100-point reform agenda issued after Shah took office to tackle corruption in the Himalayan nation.Nepal currently ranks 109th out of 180 countries on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index.

Filipina star Alexandra Eala enjoyed a strong start to her Madrid Open campaign Wednesday, moving past Russian qualifier Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-3, 6-3 to reach the second round at the event for the third straight year.The 44th-ranked lefty needed one hour and 31 minutes to dismiss Pavlyuchenkova, who was a semi-finalist in the Spanish capital in 2021.The 34-year-old Pavlyuchenkova, a former French Open runner-up currently ranked 116 in the world, is 0-6 in tour-level main draw matches so far this season.Eala saved all four break points she faced and broke Pavlyuchenkova twice in a tightly-contested 54-minute opening set.The 20-year-old phenom briefly lost her advantage in the second set but swept eight points in a row to regain her lead and book a clash with 19th seed Elise Mertens.’I feel really great. I love Madrid, it's an amazing tournament,’ said Eala, who has been training at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca for almost eight years.’Every time I come here, I feel very comfortable, I feel like I'm at home.’Pavlyuchenkova, who was playing with a heavily-strapped right upper thigh, committed close to 40 unforced errors in what was her first meeting with Eala.’Every match at this level is a battle, all of us players we fight until the end and she's been on the tour for many years. So I'm really happy with this win. She's a great player and I'm really happy to be in the next round,’ Eala added.In ATP action at the Caja Magica, 2021 Madrid finalist Matteo Berrettini crashed out to Croatian qualifier Dino Prizmic 6-3, 6-4.’It's definitely a big thing for me and it's a pleasure to share the court with him,’ said the 20-year-old former Roland Garros junior champion. Prizmic will next take on American fourth seed Ben Shelton.Meanwhile, former US Open champion Marin Cilic claimed his first Madrid Open win since 2022 with a hard-fought 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 performance against world number 44 Zizou Bergs.It was the 37-year-old Croatian's first top-50 victory on clay in four years and it earned him a second-round meeting with Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca.

Schools in India's capital must ring regular bells to remind schoolchildren to drink water as the megacity gears up to face heatwave conditions, a new city order has said.Summer heat in the world's most populous nation can be brutal — putting millions of people at risk, with nearly 11,000 people dying due to heat stroke between 2012 and 2021, according to government data.A heatwave in May 2024 in New Delhi saw temperatures match the capital's previous record high: 49.2C clocked in 2022.That year was India's hottest year since thorough records began in 1901, with sizzling temperatures following a global pattern of extreme weather driven by climate change.The temperature Wednesday morning in New Delhi and the wider sprawling metropolitan region of 30mn residents was a relatively balmy 29.4C.But weather forecasters predict temperatures will hit 41-43C later Wednesday, and rise to 42-44C later in the week.The India Meteorological Department has issued a ‘yellow alert’ for Delhi, indicating the likelihood of a heatwave later in the week.On Tuesday, guidelines issued by the Delhi education directorate asked schools in the city to adopt a plethora of steps to shield students.They included avoiding ‘outdoor physical activities’ and conducting ‘awareness sessions’ to remind them of the importance of hydration.’Outdoor assemblies to be curtailed or conducted in shaded/indoor areas with minimal duration,’ the note read. ‘No open air classes to be conducted.’Quirkier directions are also on offer: schools have been asked to start a ‘water bell’ initiative to prevent dehydration and also implement a ‘buddy system’ for students to look out for each other.’Schools shall implement a 'Water Bell' system, whereby a bell is rung at regular intervals (every 45-60 minutes) reminding students to drink water to prevent dehydration,’ the circular notes.’Each student may be paired up with another student during school hours to monitor and take care of the each other's physical well-being,’ it added.

Al Rayyan coach Vicente Moreno speaks at a press conference Wednesday. Al Rayyan will look to crown their impressive campaign with silverware when they take on Saudi Arabia’s Al Shabab in the final of the Gulf Club Champions League Thursday at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium at 6:45pm. The Qatari side booked their place in the final with a convincing 2-0 victory over Kuwait’s Al Qadsia in the semi-final, while Al Shabab advanced after edging Iraq’s Zakho FC on penalties in the other last-four clash. Al Rayyan coach Vicente Moreno acknowledged the challenge awaiting his side but expressed confidence in the team’s readiness for the decisive encounter. “The team’s preparations for the final were good, and the focus is currently on delivering the expected level in order to win and be crowned with the Gulf title,” Moreno said. “The final match will be different and requires the highest level of concentration. We must be cautious against a strong and distinguished team that includes high-level players.” Moreno added that playing at home could provide an added boost for his side. Al Rayyan enters the final with high morale, especially since the match is being held at the club’s stadium,” he said. Midfielder Julien De Sart echoed his coach’s optimism, stressing the team’s determination to deliver in front of their supporters. “The team is ready to face Al Shabab and deliver a performance that will help us win the championship title,” De Sart said. “The final match will be difficult for both teams as each side seeks victory.

Al Rayyan has shown outstanding levels in the tournament and will be playing at home in front of their fans.” Striker Abderrazak Hamdallah said he is fully prepared for the challenge and eager to help his team succeed. “I am fully ready for the final match and determined to win the title and return the team to the podium,” Hamdallah said. “We will enter the match with great enthusiasm and aim to please the fans by winning the title.” Related Story Source link
Ukrainian and European Union flags fly, amid Russia’s attack on Ukraine, in central Kyiv. (Reuters/File Photo) The EU Wednesday gave the green light to unblock a 90-billion-euro ($106bn) loan for Kyiv, after the deadlock was broken in a months-long row between Ukraine and Hungary over a damaged pipeline.Diplomats said the definitive sign-off should come by today as Budapest waits for Russian oil to arrive through the Druzhba pipeline after Kyiv said operations had restarted.The bitter feud over the pipeline pitted Hungary’s nationalist premier Viktor Orban against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, stalling the vitally needed funds for Kyiv.Resolving the standoff will allow Brussels to start paying out the loan in the coming months that Ukraine requires to plug its budget four years into Moscow’s invasion.”Implementation of our agreement with the European Union to unblock a EUR90-billion support package for Ukraine over two years is now effectively underway,” Zelensky, who is expected to join a summit of EU leaders in Cyprus today, posted online.”The unblocking is the right signal under the current circumstances. Russia must end its war.”Kremlin-friendly Orban — who suffered a crushing election defeat this month — had vowed that he would not budge until Ukraine repaired the pipeline hit by a Russian strike.Officials said Wednesday Ukraine had restarted pumping oil to Hungary and Slovakia, a day after Zelensky announced the repairs had been completed.Hungarian energy giant MOL said it “expects the first crude oil shipments following the restart of the Ukrainian section of the pipeline system to arrive in Hungary and Slovakia by tomorrow at the latest”.Slovakia’s Economy Minister Denisa Sakova also said the first deliveries were expected in the early hours of today, in a post on Facebook.Hungary and Slovakia — among the most Kremlin-sympathetic EU member states — had accused Kyiv of dragging its feet over the repairs.Zelensky has made no secret of his opposition to the fact that some EU members still buy Russian oil and gas — a key source of revenue for Moscow to fund its invasion launched more than four years ago.Sanctions approved The row with Hungary has held up EU support for Ukraine at a time when the US has largely cut Kyiv off and eased sanctions on Russian oil amid the Iran war.Orban’s loss in elections after 16 years in power had fuelled hopes the funds would be unlocked — and the EU could move past the frequent blockages experienced during his tenure.But EU officials had believed they might have to wait until his pro-EU successor Peter Magyar took office in May to get it approved.EU countries also gave the preliminary go-ahead to a fresh round of sanctions on Russia that had been stalled by both Hungary and Slovakia over the pipeline row.The new round of economic punishment for Moscow — the 20th from the EU since the war started in 2022 — includes measures on Russia’s energy, banking and trade sectors.Zelensky on Tuesday had urged the EU to begin ratcheting up sanctions on Moscow again at a time when US President Donald Trump has eased pressure on the Kremlin.

Pace bowlers Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger shared five wickets between them while Ravindra Jadeja produced an all-round performance as Rajasthan Royals defended a modest total of 159 to beat Lucknow Super Giants by 40 runs in the IPL Wednesday. Burger, a left-handed quick from South Africa, struck two key blows including Mitchell Marsh for 55, and Archer took 3-20 to bundle out hosts Lucknow for 119 at the Ekana Stadium. Rajasthan bounced back from successive defeats to jump to second in the table led by Punjab Kings. Lucknow faltered in the chase after losing three early wickets, with skipper Rishabh Pant and Aiden Markram both out for a duck. Burger had Pant caught behind in his first over before Markram miscued from Archer and skied a catch to wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. Australia’s Marsh attempted to rescue Punjab with Nicholas Pooran (22) and then impact substitute Himmat Singh, who scored 15. Marsh reached his fifty with a six off Burger but the bowler got his revenge two balls later when the opener mishit a shot and skipper Riyan Parag took a good catch. Medium-pace bowler Brijesh Sharma took two wickets in an over to further corner Lucknow, who survived just 18 overs in their fourth straight defeat. Archer, who reached a top speed of 151.6 km/h (94.2 mph), mopped up the final two wickets to seal victory for Rajasthan. Jadeja top-scored for Royals with his unbeaten 43 off 29 balls, an effort that steered Rajasthan to 159-6 after they had slumped to 110-6. Mohammed Shami struck two early blows with successive deliveries to dismiss Yashasvi Jaiswal (22) and Jurel for a duck. Fellow quick Mohsin Khan then removed 15-year-old T20 sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for eight to further hamper Rajasthan. Shami, Mohsin and Prince Yadav claimed two wickets each but Jadeja kept up the fight and put on an unbeaten stand of 49 for the seventh wicket with impact substitute Shubham Dubey, who made 19. Shimron Hetmyer (22), Parag and Donovan Ferreira – who both scored 20 – also contributed to the Rajasthan total. BRIEF SCORESRajasthan Royals 159 for 6 (Jadeja 43*, Mohsin 2-17) beat Lucknow Super Giants 119 (Marsh 55, Archer 3-20, Burger 2-27, Brijesh 2-18) by 40 runs Related Story Source link
For nearly two years, Al-Shubbak watched through ancient grey eyes as Tuti, the crescent-shaped island in the heart of the Sudanese capital she calls home, emptied of its inhabitants under a punishing paramilitary siege.She refused to leave.’I didn't even move for the English when they colonised us,’ she told AFP through a toothless smile, a year after the army broke the siege, and 70 after the British occupation of Khartoum ended.She recited an old battle cry that her daughter, who doesn't know exactly how old her mother is, repeated: ‘Our fathers resisted the occupiers with stones. Though they met them with gunfire, they still could not take Tuti the green.’Located where the White Nile, flowing from Uganda, meets the Blue Nile from Ethiopia, Tuti is across the river from where war first broke out in April 2023, between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.In recent months, many residents have returned home to the island, besieged from June 2023 until March 2025, when the army recaptured the capital.Shops have reopened and farmers have come back to their land, which historically supplied much of Khartoum's fresh produce from its fruit orchards and vegetable fields.On a Friday afternoon, villagers flocked to the old red-brick mosque, where a rusted sign reads ‘established 1480′.In times past, crowds would gather in plastic chairs at the edge of the island, sipping tea with their feet in the Nile, the very first spot where it becomes one river flowing north to Egypt.Now, authorities say that same spot is a minefield, and the islanders are scarred by their days living in an open-air prison.’Nothing could get in or out without the RSF saying so,’ said 34-year old day labourer Salaheldin Abdelqader, who escaped seven months into the siege and returned last year.To get anything in — food, medicine, fuel to power water pumps — islanders had to pay off RSF fighters who controlled the only bridge. And they could only leave after forking out a toll for safe passage.For Abdelqader, that was 350,000 Sudanese pounds (now around $90), more than double a doctor's monthly salary. 'Guard our soil' Sheikh Mohamed Eid, a local elder who sounded the alarm over Tuti's plight on social media, said that during the war residents were ‘forced to leave at gunpoint’ and pay to do so ‘with our own money’.In accordance with government media regulations, AFP was accompanied by an army officer, who stepped out of earshot during interviews.A stout man with a head wrap piled high on his brow, Eid spoke at length of the people's connection to their island, from which former president Omar al-Bashir's government repeatedly tried to relocate them to build luxury investments.’We're like fish in the water, we can't survive outside Tuti,’ he told AFP in his home, the sky visible through a hole in the roof where an artillery shell tore through.After two months using donations to pay the RSF double or triple to get goods onto the island so people wouldn't starve, Eid was detained by the paramilitaries.Thrown into one notorious jail after another, he watched other incarcerated islanders die, one by one, before his release nine months later.The RSF's siege slowly choked the life out of Tuti. Eventually, of an estimated 30,000 people, only Shubbak's family remained, caring for the bedridden matriarch.’We stayed to guard our soil,’ her daughter Najat al-Nour, a Quran professor in her fifties who lifted her chin high to admonish those who left.’A mistake,’ she snapped.Bittersweet But Nosayba Saad had no choice. She and her family endured a year and a half of RSF rule, during which fighters repeatedly entered people's homes, demanding gold and phones and accusing them of spying for the army.When she tried to talk to the fighters, ‘they told me to keep quiet or they'd empty their guns at me,’ she said.At night, she would hear them in her neighbours' empty homes, firing seemingly at nothing. ‘A lot of people died from stray bullets,’ she said.By the time her family paid to leave in October 2024, the RSF had taken to stealing food and cash as well.She didn't think she would see her home again.’Now our street is almost full, and more people are on their way,’ she said with an incredulous laugh, a bashful smile lighting up her face.But her joy was bittersweet. Two of her uncles are missing and presumed dead, while every family on the island has lost someone.’Still, being together with our people again, coming home is such a blessing,’ she said, as the smell of incense wafted through her house, out towards jasmine trees in bloom.In the fields beyond, a squash farmer trudged home, a sack slung over his shoulder heavy with his harvest.To the south loomed the ruins of Khartoum, bombed out skyscrapers a constant reminder of the terror now past.But to the west, where the setting sun made the Nile glow orange, the island seemed as it once was.A fisherman packed up his rods next to a family picnicking on the waterfront.A couple, out for a stroll, asked an AFP journalist to take a photo of them, a memento of a nice date back on their island home.

The Maoist rebellion that once held sway over nearly a third of India is being bulldozed into submission in its final forest fortress.Thick clouds of red dust billow skyward as earthmovers cut roads through the Abujhmad hills of India’s central Chhattisgarh state, the last holdout of a nearly 60-year insurgency that has cost 12,000 lives.Security forces are strangling the final remnants of the revolt with a network of 450 fortified bases and surveillance hubs linked by roads driven deep into the dense forest.New Delhi said last month that it had effectively defeated the insurgency, which at its height held a large swathe of northern and central India with up to 20,000 fighters, after villagers rose up against their feudal lords.”Roads were made and security forces opened camps inside the jungles,” local police chief Sundarraj P, who spent years fighting the insurgency, told AFP.The last rebels, who had been forced into a pocket of hilly jungle about twice the size of London, said they were fighting for the rights of the marginalised Indigenous people in the mineral-rich region.Once all but inaccessible, Abujhmad has been put on what Home Minister Amit Shah calls “the path of development”.It used to take three days to get to the nearest town of Narayanpur and back. Now “we take the morning bus, and return by the evening one”, said 60-year-old farmer Dasrath Netam, from the forest village of Mohandi.But many locals worry that the roads may also open up the iron-rich hills to massively increased mining. ‘All out on mining’ “Big roads are being constructed to give a message that the (security) forces can move anywhere quickly,” said Manish Kunjam, a former Chhattisgarh lawmaker and tribal rights activist.”But they are also being built keeping in mind the mines,” he insisted.Extraction began nearly 60 years ago, but the insurgency meant some of India’s highest-grade iron ore was left untouched.Hundreds of trucks laden with ore now rumble from a newly operational mine on the forest fringes.Leaders from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which controls the state, say that is not what the new roads are about.”There is nothing here that is about minerals,” Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma told AFP, adding the mining has been going on “for the last 50 years”.But court records and corporate filings show significant expansion of the mining footprint.At least two mines on the edge of Abujhmad, stalled for years by Maoist violence, have become operational over the past five years.Extraction began at Amdai Ghat around 2021, and at Rowghat in 2023.More than 10mn tonnes of additional production has been approved in other existing mines in the last three years, stretching across roughly 900 hectares of forest.”I really think the government is going to go all out on mining,” said Shalini Gera, a lawyer who has worked with tribal communities in Bastar.”This is the only development that they have in mind.”For the region’s marginalised tribes, who are almost entirely dependent on the forest for their livelihoods, it is an alarming prospect — even if most say the Maoists did them no favours either.”We are glad they are finally gone, because they ruled by fear,” said 25-year-old Sonuram Gutta, who said he was conscripted into the insurgency, but was allowed to leave after a few years of fighting.”But mining will make everything around us dirty. Our forefathers taught us to protect the forest; it is everything to us.” ‘See the change’ In the village of Tarlaguda, once a rebel hotbed, hopes are high that peace will bring change.”We are 30 years behind the rest of the world because of the Maoists,” said Umesh Sundam, whose brother was shot dead by the security forces, wrongly labelled as an insurgent.”They would not let any government schemes come to the village — you can see the change finally,” he added, standing beside a newly-erected phone mast and a granary being built for a government food aid programme.But he worries that few locals have formal land titles even though the tribes are recognised by India’s constitution.”It is ironic, but the issues that the Maoists claimed to fight for — our forest and land — will probably become even more relevant in the future,” he said.”If our land is taken over by some industry, there is no way for us to even seek compensation.”Those who fought to crush the rebellion caution that the government must learn the lessons of the past.”The insurgency started because of tribal exploitation — by landlords, government agencies, forest officials and police,” said Chhattisgarh’s former police chief, DM Awasthi.He warned that officials had to be transparent and empower locals.At a government training camp, former Maoist foot soldiers were learning new trades.Sukram Ursa, 21, who surrendered in December, said he had swapped his assault rifle for a government-gifted mobile phone.”I held a phone for the first time in my life last month,” he said, scrolling through social media videos on a break from learning to weld.Like other former guerrillas, he said he had renounced violence.”We will fight for our rights within the framework of the Indian constitution.” Related Story Source link
Jockey Faleh Bughenaim rides Naseeb Zakhir to Al Mafiar Cup victory at Al Rayyan Racecourse Wednesday. PICTURE: Juhaim Naseeb Zakhir continued his superb form with back-to-back victories in the 1200m Local Purebred Arabian Conditions race, securing the Al Mafiar Cup at Al Rayyan Racecourse Wednesday for owner-trainer Eng. Osama Omer Al-Dafea. The five-year-old grey notched his fifth win of the campaign and extended an impressive streak, having finished in the top three in each of his last 11 starts. Always travelling strongly just behind the leader, he moved up smoothly in the home straight and, under jockey Faleh Bughenaim, produced a decisive late surge inside the final 100m to deny the determined Hay’er Al Shahania by a nose. The victory follows his success in the Local Purebred Arabian Handicap 75–95 (Class 3) at Al Uqda Racecourse on April 4, further underlining his consistency and excellent current form.Naseeb Zakhir tracked the early leader Muqtarib, with Hay’er Al Shahania close behind, the trio maintaining their order through the early and middle stages. On straightening, Naseeb Zakhir moved up to challenge and soon took the lead, but Hay’er Al Shahania responded strongly, setting up a gripping duel between the pair. Inside the final 300m, Naseeb Zakhir appeared to have the race under control. Soon after, Hay’er Al Shahania surged back to take a narrow advantage and looked set to prevail. The contest shifted again in the closing strides as Naseeb Zakhir rallied. The pair went head to head inside the final 50m before hitting the line together, with the photo finish confirming Naseeb Zakhir the winner by the narrowest of margins ahead of the resolute Hay’er Al Shahania in the most thrilling finish of the evening, befitting the feature and final race. Hay’er Al Shahania, representing Mansoor Mesfer Al-Shahwani and from the Abdulla Mesfer Al-Shahwani yard, with Soufiane Saadi aboard, was denied by the smallest margin and narrowly missed out on completing a treble on the evening. He finished four lengths clear of the Umm Al Shukhut Farm-owned Deauville, who is trained by Mohamed Khaled Elahmed and was ridden by Alberto Sanna to take third, highlighting how the first two home were in a race of their own in the closing stages.
