Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova speaks to reporters about Russia's attack on Ukraine, at the Ukraine Embassy in Washington, U.S., February 24, 2022  The Russian assault on Ukraine was more brutal on Friday with attacks on civilian infrastructure and Kyiv, but Moscow's forces did not advance as planned and the capital remained firmly in Ukrainian control, Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Oksana Markarova said. Russia has deliberately targeted some of Ukraine's civilian infrastructure and hospitals, she said, and Ukrainian officials are gathering war crimes evidence to present to the International Criminal Court. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy remains in Kyiv and he held a "very productive" phone call with President Joe Biden on Friday, the ambassador told reporters. After weeks of warnings from Western leaders, Russian President Vladimir Putin unleashed a three-pronged invasion of Ukraine from the north, east and sout...

For decades, elections have hardly made a difference in curbing violent plunder by Kenya’s ruling class. With just six months to go till Kenya’s general elections, preparations are in full swing. But the Kenyan authorities seem to be struggling at least in one area: voter registration. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has been trying to get young adults who have become eligible to vote since the last polls in 2017 to register. In October, the commission set an ambitious target of adding 6 million to the voter register within a month but only a quarter showed interest. In January, the IEBC tried again and today, near the end of the exercise, it has only netted 12 percent of the remaining 4.5 million potential voters it was targeting. This has set off alarm bells among the political classes and commentariat. Politicians eying a run for office and their allies have been issuing increasingly strident calls for youth in what they consider to be their st...

  By  RJ Wolcott,  WSU News & Media Relations Kahlil Philander sat down for a CNBC documentary called "Generation Gamble" earlier this year. Photo Courtesy - CNBC A WSU Everett professor who studies the gambling industry is featured in a new CNBC documentary on the risky financial behaviors of Millennials and Gen Z. Mobile apps taking cues from slot machines, how social media’s playbook for increasing engagement is being applied to investments and the rise of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, were among the topics Kahlil Philander discussed with the film’s producers earlier this year. “On the heels of  Wall Street Bets’  rise and the Gamestop/AMC episodes, the filmmakers knew they wanted to do something around risk taking, so I talked to them about some recent findings around consumer behavior and what it means for where the world is today,” Philander said. “ Generation Gamble ,” hosted by CNBC’s Melissa Lee, debuts Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST Philander is an assistan...

Disruption to cell service has had a devastating impact on an economy gradually boosted by the growth of mobile money services. Maimouna Moro/AFP/Getty Images By  NICK ROLL  and  ALHOUSSEINI ALHADJI 27 OCTOBER 2021  • TIMBUKTU, MALI At about 1,000 kilometers long, the winding road from the historic city of Timbuktu, in the arid north of Mali, to Bamako, the capital in the south, is not for the faint of heart. It’s in disrepair in many parts, and stalked by jihadists and armed groups — which is why many who can afford it opt to fly instead. So, on a recent August day, when Ali Nialy arrived in Bamako via a two-day bus ride, the first thing he wanted to do was let his parents back home in Mali’s restive north know that he had arrived safely. But the phone call wouldn’t go through. Nialy wasn’t alone: That silence on the other end of the line has become all too familiar to Malians in recent months. “I couldn’t find them for a week,” Nialy said of his parents. “I didn’t ...

Kenyan media reported that a High Court Judge, Teresia Matheka has declared that being a housewife should be considered a full-time payable job. The judge said: “It is easy for the spouse working away from home and sending money to lay claim to the whole property purchased and developed with that money by the spouse staying at home and taking of the children and the family. That spouse will be heard saying that the other one was not employed so they did not contribute anything. Raising children is a full-time job that families pay a person to do as well as cooking and cleaning. Hence, for a woman in employment who has to balance childbearing and rearing this contribution must be considered.” Comment: Such declarations are as result of the leeway provided for by the adoption of the secular capitalist ideology and its evil systems. It is imperative to note that when human beings stray away from the path of their Creator – Allah (swt), then whims and desires are what guide the...
