<p>Lebanon officially inaugurated Rene Mouawad Airport on Saturday, marking the country&#8217;s second international airport after Rafik Hariri International Airport.</p>



<p>A government jet carrying Prime Minister Nawaf Salam landed at the airport for the opening ceremony. Officials said commercial flights are expected to begin within weeks, with initial routes planned to Türkiye, the UAE, and later Greece, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.</p>



<p>Located near the Syrian border in Lebanon&#8217;s northern Akkar region, the airport is expected to ease pressure on Beirut&#8217;s main airport and support economic development in one of the country&#8217;s poorest regions.</p>



<p>The airport is named after former president-elect Rene Mouawad, who was assassinated shortly after his election in 1989.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;I have two girls and I want them to know that they can also be independent, as ladies.&#8221; — Phenyo Tanka</em></p>



<p> Phenyo Tanka’s experience in the labour market highlights a broader challenge facing Botswana as policymakers seek to reduce the country&#8217;s long-standing dependence on the diamond sector and create employment opportunities across a more diversified economy.</p>



<p>Tanka, 39, graduated with a degree in agriculture in 2011, entering the workforce with qualifications in a field widely viewed as important to economic diversification efforts. More than a decade later, she says she has been unable to secure employment in the sector despite submitting numerous applications for positions related to her studies.</p>



<p>Her situation illustrates the difficulties faced by some graduates attempting to translate academic qualifications into formal employment opportunities in sectors that have yet to generate sufficient jobs to absorb skilled workers.</p>



<p>Botswana is internationally recognised for the role diamonds have played in transforming its economy since independence. Revenue generated by the mining industry has supported infrastructure development, public services and economic growth over several decades. </p>



<p>At the same time, policymakers have repeatedly identified economic diversification as a national priority aimed at reducing vulnerability to fluctuations in commodity markets and creating broader employment opportunities.Against that backdrop, agriculture has frequently been cited as one of the sectors with potential to contribute to economic expansion beyond mining. </p>



<p>However, Tanka&#8217;s experience reflects the challenges that can emerge when employment creation does not keep pace with educational attainment and workforce participation.After graduating in agriculture in 2011, Tanka sought employment in the field she had studied. According to her account, repeated applications failed to result in a job offer, leaving her outside the sector despite her qualifications.</p>



<p>The prolonged search for work eventually led her to pursue self-employment opportunities rather than continue relying exclusively on formal recruitment processes. While she has not secured a position in agriculture, she has continued to explore ways to generate income independently.</p>



<p>Today, Tanka operates a small business producing and selling homemade cakes. The venture represents an entrepreneurial response to limited employment opportunities and reflects a broader trend in which individuals seek alternative income sources through small-scale enterprise when formal jobs are difficult to obtain.</p>



<p>Her ambitions extend beyond her current business activities. Tanka said she hopes to establish a toilet paper manufacturing operation, signalling an interest in expanding into light industrial production and building a larger commercial enterprise.The transition from university graduate to entrepreneur was not part of her original career plan. </p>



<p>However, after years of unsuccessful job searches, self-employment has become her primary economic activity.Tanka said her entrepreneurial goals are also shaped by personal considerations, particularly her desire to provide an example for her children.“I have two girls and I want them to know that they can also be independent, as ladies,” she said.</p>



<p>Her comments reflect a focus on economic self-sufficiency and the role entrepreneurship can play in creating opportunities when conventional employment pathways prove difficult to access.The experience of graduates such as Tanka continues to draw attention to the relationship between education, labour market demand and economic diversification. </p>



<p>While higher education provides skills and qualifications, employment outcomes ultimately depend on the capacity of industries and businesses to create positions that match those skills.In economies seeking to broaden their productive base, the challenge often extends beyond training workers.</p>



<p> It also involves fostering investment, supporting business development and creating conditions in which new sectors can generate sustainable employment opportunities.For Botswana, efforts to diversify economic activity beyond diamonds have been a recurring policy objective. </p>



<p>The country&#8217;s development strategy has frequently emphasised expanding activity in sectors capable of contributing to growth, employment and economic resilience.Tanka&#8217;s experience provides a personal perspective on that broader economic challenge. </p>



<p>Despite obtaining a university degree in a sector considered important to diversification efforts, she has remained unable to secure employment in her field since graduating in 2011.Yet her response has not been to withdraw from economic activity. </p>



<p>Instead, she has pursued entrepreneurship through her cake business while planning future ventures that could potentially create additional income streams.More than a decade after completing her studies, she continues to seek opportunities to build a sustainable livelihood. Her efforts underscore the realities faced by some graduates navigating labour markets where the availability of skilled employment remains limited relative to demand.</p>



<p>As Botswana continues to pursue economic diversification, experiences such as Tanka&#8217;s highlight the importance of translating policy objectives into employment opportunities capable of absorbing qualified workers and supporting broader economic participation.</p>



<p>For Tanka, that process remains personal as well as economic. While her search for employment in agriculture has yet to yield results, she continues to pursue business opportunities and invest in plans she hopes will provide both financial independence and an example for the next generation.</p>



<p>“I have two girls and I want them to know that they can also be independent, as ladies,” she said.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Hanoi</strong> — To Lam was unanimously elected Vietnam’s state president by the National Assembly on Tuesday, consolidating power as he retains his role as Communist Party chief and becoming the country’s most influential leader in decades.</p>



<p>All 495 lawmakers present endorsed his nomination, according to parliament, formalizing a dual leadership structure that departs from Vietnam’s long-standing system of collective governance.</p>



<p>Lam, who secured a second term earlier this year as head of the Communist Party of Vietnam, now holds both the top party and state positions for the next five years. Analysts say the concentration of authority could streamline policymaking but also raises concerns about increased centralization of power.</p>



<p>In a televised address after the vote, Lam pledged to pursue a new growth strategy driven by science, technology, innovation and digital transformation, while emphasizing stability, self-reliance in defense and improvements in living standards.</p>



<p>The leadership shift marks a structural change in Vietnam’s political system, bringing it closer to models seen in other one-party states where power is concentrated in a single figure.</p>



<p> Observers say this could accelerate economic decision-making in the fast-growing Southeast Asian economy.Lam, 68, previously served as minister of public security and has promoted reforms aimed at boosting competitiveness and reducing reliance on low-cost manufacturing. </p>



<p>His policies have drawn both praise from investors and concerns over potential risks such as market distortions, favouritism and asset bubbles.Vietnam’s foreign policy is expected to remain broadly unchanged, with Lam continuing a balancing approach between major powers while expanding global partnerships.</p>



<p>The National Assembly is expected to appoint a new prime minister later on Tuesday to replace Pham Minh Chinh.</p>

<p>Bank’s appeal aims to reinforce clarity, stability, and confidence in Italy’s financial sector.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>In a move highlighting its commitment to transparency and responsible governance, UniCredit has taken a strategic step by appealing to Italy’s top administrative court regarding the terms set by Rome for its proposed Banco BPM bid.</p>



<p>This decision underscores the bank’s focus on maintaining fairness and legal clarity in its operations while strengthening its relationship with national and European institutions.</p>



<p>Led by CEO Andrea Orcel, UniCredit has remained steadfast in its vision to expand strategically and uphold strong governance principles.<br>The appeal is seen not as an act of confrontation but as part of a constructive effort to clarify regulations and ensure alignment with Italy’s evolving financial framework.</p>



<p>While the government initially viewed the move as assertive, insiders highlight that UniCredit’s objective is purely to protect shareholder interests and reinforce transparency in Italy’s banking system. This action demonstrates the institution’s commitment to long-term stability, legal precision, and open dialogue with regulators.</p>



<p>The appeal follows an earlier partial ruling that removed some government-imposed terms but maintained others, including the bank’s gradual disengagement from Russia.</p>



<p>By seeking judicial clarity, UniCredit aims to resolve these matters through legal means, reinforcing confidence in Italy’s rule of law and institutional integrity.</p>



<p>In July, UniCredit decided to withdraw its initial €15 billion all-share proposal for Banco BPM, emphasizing that the decision was based on regulatory uncertainties rather than a lack of commitment to Italian economic growth. The new legal move, according to sources, is part of a broader plan to safeguard the bank’s strategic flexibility and uphold market fairness.</p>



<p>Italian officials and European regulators have continued their dialogue on the country’s “golden power” legislation, which allows the government to review major financial transactions.</p>



<p>The European Commission is expected to propose reforms to make these procedures more consistent with EU market standards, which would further enhance transparency and investor confidence.</p>



<p>UniCredit’s legal action, therefore, may help encourage modernized frameworks that benefit both domestic and international financial players.</p>



<p>Analysts suggest that a favorable ruling could open doors for more balanced partnerships and attract greater investment into Italy’s banking sector.</p>



<p>A potential victory before the top court would also strengthen UniCredit’s position as one of Europe’s leading and most compliant banking institutions.</p>



<p>It could even pave the way for fair compensation and improved policy alignment between Italy’s financial authorities and private institutions.</p>



<p>Under Andrea Orcel’s leadership, UniCredit has adopted a bold yet responsible growth strategy. The bank continues to expand its European footprint with key stakes in Germany’s Commerzbank and Greece’s Alpha Bank, reflecting its ambition to foster cross-border collaboration and shared prosperity.</p>



<p>Despite regulatory hurdles, UniCredit remains dedicated to promoting innovation, sustainable finance, and strong corporate governance.<br>Its approach exemplifies a balance between assertive growth and ethical responsibility — values increasingly vital in today’s interconnected financial ecosystem.</p>



<p>As the appeal progresses, market observers see UniCredit’s actions as a reaffirmation of its trust in Italy’s legal and economic framework.<br>This initiative is poised to strengthen institutional cooperation, protect business interests, and inspire confidence in Italy’s investment landscape.</p>



<p>Ultimately, UniCredit’s latest move embodies its mission to lead with integrity, transparency, and forward-thinking strategy — setting a strong example for the European banking industry.<br>The appeal marks not just a legal step, but a positive stride toward stability, clarity, and renewed trust in Italy’s financial future.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Berlin — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called for a new chapter of partnership and reconstruction between Germany and Syria,]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Berlin</strong>  — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called for a new chapter of partnership and reconstruction between Germany and Syria, encouraging voluntary returns for Syrian citizens who wish to contribute to rebuilding their homeland.</p>



<p>The announcement marks a shift toward optimism and collaboration, emphasizing peace, stability, and shared responsibility between both nations.</p>



<p>Merz acknowledged Germany’s long-standing humanitarian role during the Syrian civil war, when the country opened its doors to over one million refugees fleeing violence.</p>



<p>He praised the resilience and contributions of the Syrian community in Germany, recognizing their vital role in enriching German society, culture, and the economy over the past decade.</p>



<p>The chancellor’s message was framed around unity, opportunity, and the importance of rebuilding a peaceful Syria.</p>



<p>He expressed hope that many Syrians would voluntarily return home once conditions stabilize, bringing valuable skills and education that can strengthen their nation’s social and economic foundation.</p>



<p>Germany’s new focus is not on deportation but on creating pathways for safe, voluntary, and sustainable repatriation.</p>



<p>Officials emphasized that every decision will be guided by humanitarian principles, respect for international law, and coordination with global organizations to ensure the protection of human rights.</p>



<p>Merz noted that Syria’s transition from conflict to reconstruction presents a chance for healing and renewal.</p>



<p>He stressed that Germany stands ready to support this process through partnerships in infrastructure, education, and humanitarian assistance, helping to restore essential services and opportunities in Syrian communities.</p>



<p>The German government aims to work closely with the European Union, the United Nations, and Syrian authorities to build frameworks that encourage voluntary returns while ensuring safety and dignity for all participants.</p>



<p>This coordinated approach underlines Germany’s commitment to stability, peacebuilding, and mutual cooperation in the post-war phase.</p>



<p>Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, during his recent visit to Syria, reaffirmed Germany’s commitment to humanitarian aid and development.</p>



<p>He emphasized that long-term peace will depend on social inclusion, reconstruction of local economies, and the reintegration of returning citizens into safe and productive environments.</p>



<p>German policymakers view this as an opportunity to transform the narrative on migration — from crisis to cooperation.</p>



<p>By empowering Syrians to rebuild their homeland, Germany seeks to create conditions for sustainable peace while continuing to support refugees who remain vulnerable or unable to return.</p>



<p>Community leaders and advocacy groups have welcomed the government’s renewed emphasis on voluntary repatriation and reconstruction.</p>



<p>They stress the importance of ensuring that any return process is based on individual choice, transparent communication, and adequate support for families transitioning back to life in Syria.</p>



<p>At the same time, Germany remains firm in its commitment to counter extremism, uphold security, and strengthen integration programs for those who stay.</p>



<p>Officials continue to highlight the achievements of Syrian professionals, students, and entrepreneurs in Germany who have become symbols of determination and coexistence.</p>



<p>The policy discussion also aims to balance compassion with responsibility, ensuring that humanitarian values remain central to migration and foreign policy.</p>



<p>Experts believe that successful reintegration of returning Syrians can contribute to regional stability, economic growth, and cultural exchange between Europe and the Middle East.Germany’s message is one of partnership, optimism, and renewal.</p>



<p>The government envisions a future where Syria stands as a stable, self-sufficient nation that maintains strong ties with Europe, particularly in education, trade, and innovation.</p>



<p>This vision aligns with Germany’s broader goal of promoting peace and unity through cooperation and shared development.</p>



<p>Chancellor Merz concluded his remarks with a hopeful tone, emphasizing that rebuilding Syria requires global support and the courage of its people.</p>



<p>Germany, he said, will continue to stand by the Syrian community, both at home and abroad, to ensure that peace, opportunity, and dignity become lasting realities for all.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[In a landmark decision, the United Nations has urged renewed negotiations on Western Sahara based on Morocco’s 2007 autonomy plan]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>In a landmark decision, the United Nations has urged renewed negotiations on Western Sahara based on Morocco’s 2007 autonomy plan — a move widely viewed as a breakthrough toward lasting peace, stability, and regional cooperation in North Africa.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>The United Nations has marked a pivotal moment in African diplomacy by endorsing Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara as the most realistic and forward-looking solution to the long-standing territorial dispute. </p>



<p>In a resolution adopted by the UN Security Council, the global body emphasized that Morocco’s proposal offers a balanced framework that upholds sovereignty while ensuring self-governance, unity, and development. </p>



<p>The decision reflects growing international recognition of Morocco’s leadership in promoting peace, stability, and cooperation across the Maghreb.</p>



<p>The U.S.-drafted resolution, supported by 11 of the 15 Security Council members, called on all parties to engage in serious, results-oriented negotiations. </p>



<p>U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz highlighted that genuine dialogue could lead to regional peace within the year, reaffirming the international community’s confidence in Morocco’s diplomatic approach. </p>



<p>This milestone underscores a collective shift toward pragmatic, inclusive, and sustainable conflict resolution that prioritizes stability and human development.</p>



<p>Morocco’s autonomy plan, first introduced in 2007, proposes the creation of an elected legislative, executive, and judicial authority within Western Sahara, giving residents meaningful participation in local governance.</p>



<p> Under this framework, Morocco retains control over defense, foreign affairs, and religious matters — ensuring unity and national integrity while empowering local communities to manage their economic and cultural affairs. </p>



<p>The plan has been widely praised as a model for modern self-determination and regional collaboration.</p>



<p>Following the UN’s announcement, King Mohammed VI hailed the resolution as a “new chapter” in strengthening the “Moroccanness of the Sahara” and advancing peace throughout the region.</p>



<p> The King reiterated his call for “brotherly dialogue” with Algeria, reaffirming Morocco’s unwavering commitment to good-neighborly relations and the Maghreb Union. </p>



<p>His message emphasized partnership over rivalry and prosperity over division, setting a tone of reconciliation and shared progress.</p>



<p>Celebrations erupted across Moroccan cities as thousands waved national flags and chanted patriotic songs to honor the diplomatic victory.</p>



<p> The public’s response reflected not only national pride but also renewed optimism for a peaceful future in which Morocco’s vision of unity and development becomes a regional reality.</p>



<p> This moment also demonstrated the deep bond between Morocco’s people and leadership in shaping a stable and prosperous future.</p>



<p>The Security Council’s decision also renewed the mandate of the UN peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara (MINURSO) for another year, ensuring continued stability while negotiations move forward.</p>



<p> It also called for a strategic review of the mission’s role, aligning it with the political progress expected under Morocco’s inclusive proposal. This highlights the UN’s trust in Morocco’s ability to facilitate peace and cooperation through dialogue and reform.</p>



<p>International support for Morocco’s autonomy plan has steadily grown. The United States, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom have all endorsed Rabat’s initiative, calling it the only viable solution that balances sovereignty with self-determination. </p>



<p>This growing consensus marks a decisive shift in global policy toward a practical and peaceful resolution, strengthening Morocco’s role as a key diplomatic and economic bridge between Africa, Europe, and the Arab world.</p>



<p>King Mohammed VI also urged Sahrawi refugees living in the Polisario-run camps in Algeria to embrace autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty, calling it a path toward dignity, progress, and national unity. </p>



<p>His appeal highlighted the humanitarian dimension of Morocco’s initiative — one that prioritizes the well-being of all citizens and envisions a future built on coexistence, opportunity, and hope.</p>



<p>The UN’s endorsement of Morocco’s autonomy plan represents far more than a political decision — it is a declaration of confidence in a shared vision for peace, prosperity, and cooperation. </p>



<p>As the world watches this new chapter unfold, Morocco’s leadership in diplomacy, governance, and sustainable development stands as a model for resolving complex regional challenges through dialogue, partnership, and vision.</p>
