EU Ambassador to Sudan assaulted in home as unrest continues

The European Union’s Ambassador in Sudan has been assaulted in his home in Khartoum.

This is on the back of Sudan experiencing another day of fighting between the army and a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Dozens of civilians have been killed and hundreds more have been injured.

The pitched battles across Sudan pitting government troops against the paramilitary outfit as the RSF, is continuing the threat of a wider civil war.

Scores of civilians have been killed and hundreds injured, according to a doctors’ union.

And on the streets of the city, civilians are describing scenes of chaos as they struggle to source even basic necessities such as water, or medicine.

The U.N. World Food Programme says it’s been forced to halt operations in several areas and three employees were killed.

RSF soldiers have destroyed the Sudanese army at the airport – who they call “mercenaries,” including its leaders.

Both sides say they’ve made gains against the other.

The RSF is a former militia that was due to merge with the army and whose leaders shared power ruling the country in a military council.

Both were due to release their power as the country transitioned toward a civilian democracy.

Friction over the integration brewed for months, but it’s not clear who shot first. The RSF says the army tried to seize full control in a plot.

The army accuses the RSF of mobilising its forces, illegally, and moving on strategic sites.

What Australia can learn from NZ’s supermarket inquiry

Published

on

Coles and Woolworths, two of Australia’s largest supermarket chains, are about to face a Senate inquiry that aims to scrutinise their market dominance and business practices.

The inquiry’s parallels with a past New Zealand investigation highlight the growing concern over the duopoly’s impact on consumers and smaller businesses.

The Senate inquiry, set to begin next month, comes as a response to mounting public pressure and allegations of anti-competitive behavior in the grocery sector.

New Zealand example

Similar concerns led New Zealand to conduct its own inquiry into the supermarket industry back in 2019, resulting in recommendations for increased regulation and transparency.

The central question here is whether Coles and Woolworths wield too much power in the Australian market, potentially stifling competition and limiting choices for consumers.

With the New Zealand example as a cautionary tale, many are wondering if this inquiry will result in meaningful changes to the Australian grocery landscape.

The unexpected comment from the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has ignited a new wave of discussion within the political sphere, leaving many wondering about the implications for Haley’s political future.

In a tweet that garnered significant attention, Musk criticized Haley’s recent policy stance, writing, “Nikki Haley’s campaign is dead on arrival if she continues to ignore the urgency of climate change.

Musk’s statement has reignited the debate over climate change within the Republican Party, with many conservatives emphasizing economic interests over environmental concerns.

This raises questions about whether Musk’s endorsement or critique could influence the GOP’s stance on climate issues and potentially impact the 2024 presidential race.
