(MENAFNEditorial) GENEVA, Switzerland, August 15, 2017/APO/ --
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and partners have begun relocating over 33,000 Congolese refugees from over-crowded reception centers in northern Angola to a newly established settlement in Lóvua some 100 km further inland from the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Nearly 1,500 refugees have been relocated from the Mussunge reception centre to the new site since Tuesday (August 8) in arranged transport.
Since April this year, Congolese refugees have been receiving humanitarian assistance at Cacanda and Mussunge temporary reception centres as well as in surrounding communities around Dundo - the capital of Lunda Norte Province.
The Angolan Government has allocated about 33 km2 of land to set up Lóvua settlement to improve the living conditions of refugees. All refugees will receive a plot of land to build shelters and grow food to supplement their food rations. The new settlement's distance from the border will help in maintaining the humanitarian and civilian character of the site.
Since March this year, thousands of Congolese have fled the violence and ethnic tensions in the Kasai region of the DRC to northern Angola. While the security situation in the Kasai region remains volatile, the Angolan authorities and UNHCR with partners are ready to provide protection and assistance for up to 50,000 Congolese refugees by the end of 2017 at Lóvua.
UNHCR with other humanitarian agencies launched an appeal in June for US$65.5 million for Angola to provide life-saving protection and assistance to Congolese refugees from Kasai. So far, only 32 per cent of the required funds have been received. Additional funding is urgently needed to continue developing infrastructure and services for refugees in Lóvua settlement.

(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt) Philip Morris Misr affirmed its commitment to cooperate with the Egyptian Tax Authority, to protect the consumer from any attempts to manipulate the prices of its products, and to maintain the stability of the market and the tobacco industry.
The company said that it had added a QR code on all its products earlier this year, in line with the mandate to raise the consumers' awareness of the product prices. The QR code shows the price list of the company's traditional cigarettes and heated tobacco products. The company also said that it had improved the communication on the packaging by adding more text to encourage the consumers to scan the QR code. The new packaging has been introduced to the market recently, starting with all L&M packages.
Ali N. Karaman, the Managing Director of Philip Morris Egypt & Levant, said:“The QR code on the packaging allows the smokers and users to know the price of the products before buying them, and this is one of the methods that the company follows to protect the rights of the consumer. The company also announces any price changes through a press release.”
Karaman added:“We are keen to continue our collaboration with the Egyptian Tax Authority to ensure the consumer's benefit from a transparent system. This is achieved by supporting the state treasury with tax revenues from selling authentic products at their set prices.”
Philip Morris Misr thanked all the merchants who followed the official prices of its products. The company also urged the merchants to comply with the price control and fulfill their duty to protect this national industry.

(MENAFN- IANS) Nairobi, Feb 22 (IANS) International solidarity will be key to phasing out short-lived climate pollutants or super pollutants that include methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), senior United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) officials said.
Inger Andersen, the UNEP's executive director, said on Wednesday at the opening of the UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Conference in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, that eliminating these gases which harm the ozone layer has worsened air pollution and are detrimental to human health calls for unified action, Xinhua news agency reported.
"We must deliver action on super pollutants to help achieve net zero goal, protect the ozone layer, and improve air quality," Andersen said, noting that multilateralism is key to hastening the phaseout of short-lived climate pollutants.
The two-day Climate and Clean Air Conference 2024 has brought together policymakers, scientists and green campaigners to discuss best practices to curb the emission of super pollutants from agriculture, fossil fuels, household cooling, and heavy-duty vehicle engines. It will be a precursor to the sixth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6) to be held in Nairobi from February 26 to March 1 under the theme of "effective, inclusive and sustainable multilateral actions to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution".
Andersen observed that lethargic action on short-lived climate pollutants would deny humanity a sustainable and resilient future, stressing that leveraging science, policy, and practice is key to accelerating their phaseout.
She singled out the Global Methane Pledge, the Clean Air Flagship, and the Kigali Amendment as effective multilateral instruments whose implementation will revitalise efforts to eliminate super pollutants from the atmosphere.
Rose Mwebaza, regional director for Africa at UNEP, said that harmonising policies and laws, leveraging technology, research, and advocacy is key to sustaining action on short-lived climate pollutants.
Mwebaza called for remodeling sectors responsible for emitting super pollutants, including cooling, agriculture, manufacturing, and transport to boost air quality, climate resilience, and human health.

Junior Miner Pops On Drill Results
A Vancouver-based micro cap just announced initial drill results from Phase I drilling at the Valley zone on its Rogue gold project in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The results were perceived as bullish as shares of Snowline Gold Corp. (OTCQB:SNWGF) popped following the announcement.
Snowline Gold is a Yukon-Territory-focused gold exploration company with a seven-project portfolio covering over 90,000 ha. The Company is exploring its flagship 72,000-hectare Einarson and Rogue gold projects in the prospective yet underexplored Selwyn Basin, with drilling expected to commence in mid-2021. Snowline's projects all lie in the prolific Tintina Gold Province that hosts multiple million-ounce-plus gold mines and deposits, from Kinross' Fort Knox mine to Newmont's Coffee deposit. Snowline's first mover claim position represents a unique opportunity to explore and expand a new greenfield, district-scale gold system.
As previously mentioned, traders were bullish on the results as shares of Snowline climbed up to $0.58/share (+21.14%) at the session high. This move is a strong continuation of the success this stock has had over the last six months.

UAE- Do not open this message, your iPhone will crash
(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) If you have recently received a text message with a link from an unknown person, be extremely careful before opening it. It may just cause your iPhone and Mac computer to crash.

"The website seems to exploit a bug or a non-optimized rendering process for OpenGraph page titles by creating an excessively long tag. When Messages attempts to render a preview of the link, the app then crashes or hangs - and occasionally takes the operating system with it," the report said.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
AMMAN - The inclusion of people with disabilities in civil health insurance is a major opportunity for the improvement of healthcare access for this community in Jordan, but improvement is needed, according to activists.
Regulations surrounding the inclusion of persons with disabilities in civil health insurance, recently issued in the Official Gazette, outlined that people with disabilities should receive medical treatment and care at hospitals and medical centres affiliated with the Ministry of Health, in accordance with the policies and procedures governing the Civil Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
Speaking with The Jordan Times, Anas Damra, a spokesperson of the“Ibni” campaign, said that civil health insurance improves disabled people's access to healthcare, adding that certain articles need to be more inclusive.
The“Ibni” campaign is a community-based movement advocating for the rights of people with disabilities, particularly their right to access health and rehabilitation services.
Guidance is required to achieve improved inclusion of persons with disabilities, followed by the need to establish accessible health infrastructures, according to the spokesperson, who also noted that“restrictive procedures” should be avoided, such as the condition of not using alternative insurance in order to qualify for civil health insurance.
“People with disabilities face higher healthcare needs and their access to civil health insurance should not be limited,” Duha Huneiti, a Jordanian disability rights activist, told The Jordan Times.
She added that“there is still a huge health gap for us, and we need to implement changes from the planning stages instead of only adding adaptive programmes”.
She concluded by noting that the healthcare staff in hospitals and healthcare centres should receive appropriate training that would enable them to offer suitable care to patients with disabilities.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) NATO foreign ministers discussed Russia's ongoing military buildup around Ukraine's borders and in the temporarily occupied territories. They were united in the fact that any further aggression against Ukraine would have a high price for Russia, binging serious political and economic consequences.
This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during a press conference following the first day of the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Riga on November 30, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
'The situation in and around Ukraine remains fluid and unpredictable. There is no certainty about Russia's intentions. We see a significant and unusual concentration of forces, which is unjustified and unexplained. And accompanied by heightened rhetoric and disinformation,” Stoltenberg said. Read also: NATO
chief warns Moscow of consequences of invading Ukraine
“Ministers discussed the situation. We are the only ones who intend to deter Russia from any further aggressive actions. We call on Russia to be transparent, de-escalate and reduce tensions. Any further Russian aggression against Ukraine in the future will have a great price and will have serious political and economic consequences for Russia,” the NATO chief stressed.
He noted that the Allies take into account the fact that Russia has already used military force against Ukraine and other neighbors.
'Ministers were clear that there must be no misunderstanding or miscalculation on NATO's resolve. We stand together to defend and protect all Allies. We will continue to actively assess the situation and ensure we have all necessary plans in place,' Stoltenberg said. Read also: Stoltenberg
: This is second time this year we see Russia's military build-up near Ukraine
He recalled that the Allies continue to provide political and practical support to Ukraine, which is seen as a respected partner, and commended Ukraine's measured response to Russia's“continued provocations.”
On December 1, NATO foreign ministers will meet with the foreign ministers of Ukraine and Georgia to discuss the latest developments.
Foreign ministers of NATO member states are meeting in Riga on November 30 and December 1 to discuss the current security situation and preparations for the next NATO summit in Madrid.
Jens Stoltenberg said that the Black Sea region was of great strategic importance to NATO, so, given Russia's aggressive moves and rhetoric in the region, the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance has every reason to remain vigilant and increase its military presence there.

While delivering a speech, Farid Khalil Al Saddequi, Projects & Local Centers Director in Qatar Charity, stated that the importance of sponsoring similar events lies in promoting and strengthening the values of benevolence among the children through educational and recreational ways. 'Hosting similar events enables Qatar Charity to bridge the gap between vulnerable orphans in areas of conflicts and the rest of the world, it will give their cause more exposure he added.
Saddiqui also thanked all those who made 'The Best of Our Kids comes to life including Aspire Logistics, sponsors, volunteers, and parents.
Heyam Al Qahtani, the host of ' The Best of Our Kids said: 'Through the lenses of youth, this event comes as a social and educational initiative that addresses parents and targets their young kids. Its purpose is to promote the role of donation and the importance of helping those in need, as well as creating a healthy and competitive spirit amongst the children. We have targeted the children in Qatar because we believe there is a shortage of similar events that trigger charity subjects in a creative way.

(MENAFN) In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in Türkiye's southeastern city of Malatya, a group of dedicated football coaches is providing much-needed support and training to children residing in the container city located in the city center. These coaches, who themselves are survivors of the earthquake, are using their skills and passion for the sport to help children cope with the trauma they have experienced.
One of the coaches, Savas Gunay, a trainer from the Provincial Directorate of Youth Services and Sports, shared his personal experience, revealing that his own home was severely damaged by the earthquake. As a result, Gunay's pregnant wife and child found refuge in the Teknokent Temporary Accommodation Center, which has been set up as a container city to provide shelter for those affected by the disaster.
Gunay, who is 34 years old, emphasized the importance of helping children deal with the psychological impact of the earthquake. Through their football training sessions, the coaches aim to create a supportive and engaging environment where children can find solace and regain a sense of normalcy. By organizing the children into groups, the coaches focus on teaching them the fundamental techniques of football, laying the groundwork for their development in the sport.

(MENAFN) Kristalina Georgieva, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), emphasized the importance of central banks globally relying on macroeconomic data to inform their monetary policy decisions. Georgieva underscored the necessity for central banks to use economic indicators and trends as guiding principles when determining their monetary policy trajectory.
Georgieva cautioned against the risk of "premature loosening" of interest rates by central banks amidst their current monetary tightening cycle, along with "a very tricky space of different countries being in different place in the cycle."
"So you cannot, as it was last year, where everybody needed to tighten and you kind of synchronize policy action. You cannot do that anymore. You cannot look at the other guy and say, oh, well, they are loosening, therefore I should be loosening, or they are staying put, therefore I should stay put. So that's a tricky part," she stated on Thursday at a media round table in Washington.
Georgieva also highlighted the risk associated with maintaining interest rates at higher levels for an extended period. She emphasized the importance of central banks closely monitoring macroeconomic data to mitigate this risk effectively.
"Our team has looked back in history, and the conclusion they drew is that the risk of premature easing is higher than the risk of being slightly behind, because a premature easing can reverse gains with more significant impact on confidence, both consumer confidence and investor confidence, and also anticipation for what inflation may look like in the future," she clarified.
Regarding attaining a “soft landing” – a scenario in which a central bank successfully reduces inflation while averting a recession, the IMF head declared: "They now need to lend the plane smoothly. They are going to lend it, lend it in the best possible way. Not too early, not too late, move into policy easing."

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) RIGA - The European Union needs to buy time to assess fully the implications of the new Omicron coronavirus variant and to prepare, notably by pushing for greater vaccination rates, the president of the European Commission said on Sunday.
First discovered in South Africa, the variant has now been detected in EU countries Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, along with Australia, Botswana, Britain, Hong Kong.
Ursula Von der Leyen, speaking during a visit to Latvia, said she took the variant seriously.
'We know that we are in a race against time.... And the scientists and manufacturers need two to three weeks to have a full picture about the quality of the mutations of this Omicron variant,' she told a news conference.
She said time should be spent focusing on precautionary action, notably increasing the rate of vaccinations and of booster shots, reflecting the Commission's proposal last week that EU residents should receive extra doses.
Von der Leyen recalled that the Commission, which seeks to coordinate the European Union's response to the pandemic, had in May concluded a third contract with BionTech/Pfizer for up to 1.8 billion vaccine doses.
The contract, she said, included a clause that the companies would adapt their vaccine within 100 days if a variant turned into an 'escape variant' that proved resistant to existing vaccines.
'The general line ishope for the best, but prepare for the worst. The highest priority right now is social distancing, reduce the contact, but vaccinate and boost as much as possible.'

(MENAFN- Iraq Business News) By John Lee.
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Finance of the government of Iraq aimed at rebuilding Iraq and enhancing trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.
The MOU replaces the previous agreement signed in Kuwait in February 2018 and increases the total amount of EXIM financing potentially available under the MOU from $3 billion up to a total of $5 billion.
At EXIM headquarters in Washington this afternoon, EXIM President and Chairman Kimberly A. Reed signed the MOU with Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr. Fuad Hussein. The signing also was witnessed by Iraq Ambassador to the United States Fareed Yasseen.
EXIM President and Chairman Kimberly A. Reed said,
'This MOU signals to the marketplace that U.S. companies and their workers in America want to be a part of the rebuilding effort in Iraq.
'We anticipate that the EXIM-backed financing to follow from this agreement will support exporter and supply-chain jobs in multiple industries across the United States and also foster job creation in Iraq.
"Iraq is an important partner to the United States, and we look forward to working together to strengthen the relationship between our two countries.'
Under the MOU, EXIM and Iraq's Ministry of Finance agreed to identify potential projects in Iraq for procurement of U.S.-produced goods and services. EXIM agreed to explore options for providing the agency's medium- and long-term loans, guarantees, and export credit insurance to support U.S. exports to Iraq.
For projects that may be eligible for EXIM support, cooperation between the Ministry of Finance and EXIM would be directed towards qualifying such projects for approval by both institutions.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 11
By Rufiz Hafizoglu – Trend:
The position of Russia, and in particular of President Vladimir Putin, in the Jerusalem issue is very important, Murat Akan, Turkish expert on foreign policy, told Trend Dec. 11.
He was commenting on the Russian president's expected visit to Turkey.
On Dec. 11, Putin will pay a visit to Ankara, where he will meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Jerusalem's recognition as the capital of Israel will be discussed in the meeting, according to the expert.
'Jerusalem is of great importance not only for Muslims, but for Christians as well,' said Akan.
He noted that if Putin's position on the issue coincides with the UN decisions, the position of the US may get complicated.
'If China also supports the position of the UN and Russia, Jerusalem's recognition as the capital of Israel will not make any sense,' the expert said.
"This will be the seventh meeting of Russian and Turkish presidents during this year, which is no coincidence," Akan added. The expert believes that the meeting of the Russian and Turkish presidents may be considered as a signal about a change in the balance of powers in the world.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump proclaimed that the US recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Israel proclaimed Jerusalem its capital after the end of the War of Independence in 1949. In 1967, after the Six Day War, it seized East Jerusalem and united it with the West Jerusalem, but the UN did not recognize this. Embassies of countries that have diplomatic relations with Israel are located mainly in Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Ramat Gan.

The tigress first entered a house in the Rampur Dhakaiya village of Mailani range on Saturday.
Dudhwa Tiger Reserve (DTR) field director B. Prabhakar said a rapid response team (RRT) was rushed to the village, which attempted to drive the tigress back into the forest. However, the big cat, which looked weak and feeble, charged on the RRT's vehicle damaging its window panes and hid in the nearby bushes, Prabhakar added.
As there was no movement for a while, the tigress was checked upon and was found to have died.
It may be recalled that the carcass of a four-year-old male tiger was found in the north Nighasan range of the Dudhwa buffer zone a few days ago.
Its post-mortem examination established that trachea rupture due to infighting with some other big cat might have caused the injury.
About Saturday's incident, he said the preliminary investigations ruled out poaching or poisoning attempts as all body parts were found to be intact. He said the examination of the body revealed that its canines and claws were damaged, and there were two puncture wounds on the abdomen and an injury near a paw.

Lebanon's Patriotic chief scraps agreement with Lebanese Forces
(MENAFN) On Tuesday, Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Jebran Bassil said that the FPM's landmark agreement with the Lebanese Forces "no longer exists," NaharNet reported.
The distribution of shares in the new government "should be proportional in order to form a national unity cabinet and if a party wants to voluntarily give up seats they are free to do so," said Bassil after the weekly meeting of the Strong Lebanon bloc.
"But if there is a party that does not want to give up seats because a political agreement no longer exists, no one can force it to do so," Bassil added, in an apparent reference to the deputy PM post that was given to the LF in the previous government.
The FPM and President Michel Aoun argue that there is a norm that allocates the
deputy premier post to the president in any government.
"Our bloc won 55% of the popular vote as the LF got 31%, Kataeb 7% and Marada 6%. People's will must be respected," Bassil added.

(MENAFN) Visa, in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority (Monsha'at), and Arab National Bank, has announced the launch of the second edition of its She's Next initiative in Saudi Arabia. This global advocacy program aims to support women-owned small businesses by promoting their digitalization and fostering their growth in the digital economy. As part of this initiative, Visa has also introduced its first digitalization index specifically designed for women-owned small and medium-sized businesses.
The digitalization index utilizes five key indicators, namely online presence, digital payments acceptance, payment security awareness, customer engagement, and customer retention. These indicators are used to assess the digital maturity of women-owned businesses and provide valuable insights to enhance their digital capabilities. By measuring and benchmarking their progress in these areas, women entrepreneurs can gain a better understanding of their digital strengths and areas for improvement.
Ali Bailoun, Visa's regional general manager for KSA, Bahrain, and Oman, expressed pride in bringing the successful She's Next program back to Saudi Arabia for its second edition. He also extended gratitude to the program's partners for their support in making this initiative possible for women-owned businesses in the Kingdom. The collaboration between Visa, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Monsha'at, and Arab National Bank underscores the collective commitment to empowering women entrepreneurs and driving their success in the digital era.
Since its inception in 2020, the She's Next initiative has made significant investments to support women-owned businesses globally. Visa has allocated approximately $3 million in grants and coaching to over 250 women entrepreneurs across various countries, including the United States, Canada, India, Ireland, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Morocco. By providing financial support and expert guidance, Visa aims to equip women entrepreneurs with the necessary resources and knowledge to thrive in the digital landscape.
The second edition of She's Next in Saudi Arabia reaffirms Visa's dedication to fostering gender equality and promoting women's economic empowerment. Through this initiative, Visa and its partners aspire to create an inclusive environment that encourages the digital transformation of women-owned businesses, enabling them to unlock their full potential and contribute to the Kingdom's economic growth and development.

PhenomeX Flat as it Trumpets Human Lambda
PhenomeX Inc. (NASDAQ: CELL) noticed its shares were static Thursday. The functional cell biology company announces that GSK will present data on the SpotLightTM Human Lambda reagent for the Beacon® platform at the 16th annual Conference on Protein Expression in Animal Cells, which is being held in Sitges, Spain from September 24-28.
