South Africa asked yesterday at the 19th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (MNA) that the group of countries lead the recognition of the States of Israel and Palestine
“South Africa urges the international community to support, with practical measures, the establishment of two States that live side by side in peace and security”, said the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of South Africa at the opening of the ministerial meetings from the MNA summit at the Speke Convention Center in southern Kampala.
Naledi Pandor added that the MNA has a historic duty of international solidarity to play a leading role in helping this conflict in the Middle East and said that this group of countries cannot ignore the situation of the Palestinian people.
“We are witnessing what South Africa considers to be a genocide of unprecedented proportions and that is why our country has referred the situation in Palestine to the International Court of Justice [TIJ]”, said the head of South African diplomacy regarding her country’s case once morest Israel.
For Pandor, it is important that the MNA defends the “independence of all oppressed peoples”, including that of Western Sahara. The summit, whose objective is to improve members’ cooperation in the face of international crises, began last Monday with preparatory conferences for the meeting of heads of state and government, scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
Since the creation of the MNA in 1961, this is the sixth time that the 120 member states have met in an African country, following summits in Zambia (1970), Algeria (1973), Zimbabwe (1986), South Africa (1998) and Egypt (2009).
This time, the forum will take place at the Speke Convention Center, a bucolic hotel on the banks of Lake Victoria, with an auditorium with capacity for 4,400 people and 12 conference rooms.
In this southern corner of Kampala, leaders will discuss issues such as global security, the international fight once morest terrorism, migration, humanitarian crises and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, among others, under the theme “Deepening Cooperation for Wealth Global Shared”, announced the Ugandan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jeje Odongo.
It should be noted that the president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, will be the new rotating president of the MNA, a position held since 2019 by his Azerbaijani counterpart, Ilham Aliyev.
Uganda will host leaders from around the world, although there is no official list of participants yet. The MNA, one of the largest organizations of States in the world, is made up of 53 countries in Africa, 39 in Asia, 26 in Latin America and the Caribbean and two in Europe.
The summit comes at a time when, faced with international crises such as Israel’s war once morest Hamas in the Gaza Strip or Russia’s conflict in Ukraine, the Global South demands a greater voice in international bodies, including the UN Security Council , for which they ask for restructuring.
The South African executive has historically been a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause and the ruling African National Congress (ANC) has often associated this cause with its own fight once morest the segregationist apartheid regime (1948-1994).
The UDI President’s Response to Cathy Barriga’s Charges: What Did Javier Macaya Say?

The president of the UDI, Javier Macaya, referred to the former mayor of Maipú, Cathy Barriga, who this week was charged with treasury fraud and falsification of a public instrument. “It was not possible to guide her further in her management“, held.
What did Javier Macaya say?
The UDI helmsman referred to the community’s decision to have Barriga as a candidate and maintained that “the vast majority of those who have served from the UDI in mayor’s offices (…) have done so with a true vocation and adherence to the rules.” . When these situations occur we put ourselves on alert and try to clarify everything that happened in the best way possible.”
“Regarding her, I must be very frank, perhaps because she was independent, because she did not have a closer relationship with the UDI and it was not possible, as in other cases we do, to guide her more in her management. There I can do self-criticism,” Macaya added during his interview with Third.
Along these lines, she did not want to answer the question regarding whether the party regretted having supported her: “it is not my place to speak out on that, because at the time It was a candidacy supported by the previous board”.
What does the Prosecutor’s Office accuse Cathy Barriga of?
This Thursday was the last day of formalization of the former mayor of Maipú and the judge Hugo Salgado decided to decree the precautionary measure of total house arrest y national roots once morest him, rejecting the request of the Public Ministry, an entity that had requested his preventive prison.
The Prosecutor’s Office pointed out that Barriga “defrauded or allowed tax assets to be defrauded” thanks to the implementation of an “organic administrative structure of fraudulent availability of resources and the installation of fraudulent governance.”
This structure would have been executed to “disrupt, impede and block the control mechanisms established by law (…), causing harm to the Municipality of Maipú for values that are still being investigated, but that would add up to at least $30.622.935.635“.
“The accused also carried out or ordered to carry out (…) multimillion-dollar arbitrary acquisitions of goods and services that are not consistent with the purposes legally established for the municipalities, a context in which it also established contracts at inappropriate fees, all financed with public funds,” they added.
According to prosecutor Constanza Encina, the money allegedly wasted in Maipú would be equivalent to 55 Democracia Viva cases, 28 in Vitacura, 20 in Algarrobo and 914 times the amount for which Karen Rojo, former mayor of Antofagasta, was convicted. “Is one of the largest frauds known in the municipal history of the country“, he claimed.

Didier Barbelivien’s Life-Threatening Health Scare and Road to Recovery
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

In 2020, Didier Barbelivien confessed in the French media, explaining that he no longer knew how to sing following a polyp on his vocal cords. However, it was not this operation that almost cost him his life that year but rather a banal operation for a kidney stone. “I was calmly waiting in my room for the nurse to come and tell me, ‘Put on your outfit, Mr. Barbelivien’”, as the interpreter of To All the Girls… explained on the set of It Begins Today last year. “All of a sudden, I lost control of my actions, and even my thoughts. I was shaking all over. I just had time on my little cell phone to send a ‘help’ message to my surgeon, who was finishing something on the second floor. They went up at full speed.” And the 69-year-old artist continues on this event, which almost turned into a tragedy. But saved by the responsiveness of the doctors. “I heard people say: ‘He’s having severe sepsis, quickly bring me this, this, this and this.’
Didier Barbelivien, heavily criticized during his appearance this Saturday at the Star Academy (“I almost fell. They were stunts. I wasn’t told,” he quipped ironically on the TF1 set opposite Nikos Aliagas), recalled that he had been “stung at the right time. An hour later, I had nothing left! I wanted to go home, concluded the one who was on the sofa of “Vivement Dimanche” the following week.” I had even forgotten that I had come to have an operation, I was so happy to be out of this thing that had terrified me. The surgeon told me: ‘If this had happened to you at Parc Monceau while walking your dog, the Drucker special the following Sunday, it would have been clear’”.
