Top officials from Bangladesh and Morocco met up in Rabat on Wednesday to talk sports and education deals. Bangladesh Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain sat down with Moroccan Minister Mohammed Saad Berrada for the big discussion. The Moroccan minister bragged about his country's smart way of mixing school and sports together. He said their Study and Sports program keeps more kids from dropping out of school. Morocco also wants more little kids to start learning earlier with better preschool programs.
The Bangladesh adviser told the Moroccan official that King Mohammed VI does great work for his country. He said Morocco's education and sports setup could teach other nations around the world. The adviser asked Morocco...
Bangladesh officials are racing against time to cut a deal with America before devastating trade taxes kick back into effect. Commerce chief Sk Bashir Uddin flew to Washington yesterday for make-or-break talks that could save the country's biggest export market. The two-day meeting represents the final chance to hammer out terms before Trump's punishment tariffs return next week. American trade bosses have already rejected Bangladesh's plea to keep new taxes under 10 percent. The clock is ticking as the July 9 deadline approaches fast.
Trump slammed Bangladesh and other nations with massive tariffs back in April but gave them three months to work out new agreements. Bangladesh tried to get America to hand over a list showing exactly...
A man from Australia has died after a bat gave him a deadly virus. The 50-year-old victim caught Australian bat lyssavirus from a bite several months ago. Health officials confirmed his death and said the infection acts just like rabies. The man lived somewhere up north and doctors kept his name private. His family received sympathy from the New South Wales health department.
This virus kills people because there are no medicines that work against it. Only three other people have caught this disease since doctors first found it back in 1996. All four victims have died from the infection. The germs spread when bat spit gets into cuts or bite wounds on human skin. Flying foxes and tiny bug-eating bats carry the dangerous virus around...
Vietnam struck a major trade deal with America to dodge massive taxes on its exports. The country faced a crushing 46 percent tariff that would have destroyed its economy. Trump agreed to cut the punishment down to just 20 percent after Vietnam promised to buy more American cars. The deal saves Vietnamese factories from going under next week. Experts say this shows how Trump plans to handle other Asian countries.
The agreement comes with a nasty catch for goods passing through Vietnam from China. America will slap a 40 percent tax on products that Chinese companies try to sneak through Vietnamese ports. Washington claims Vietnam helps China cheat the system by putting fake labels on Chinese goods. Raw materials from China keep...
A court judge has slammed the government for stealing a farm from three black Zimbabweans who bought it fair and square. Judge Bongani Ndlovu ruled that officials broke the law when they grabbed Esidakeni Farm without telling the real owners first. The Ministry of Lands ignored all the rules and just took the property anyway. The judge said taking land from black people who paid for it and giving it away free to others makes no sense. He called the whole mess completely against the law.
Three men named Siphosami Malunga, Charles Moyo, and Zephaniah Dhlamini had owned the 550-hectare farm since 2017. They bought shares in the company that runs the farm from the previous owner Jeffrey Swindels. The government published a notice in...
ZANU-PF party officials have shut down wild rumors about businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei being thrown out of a key meeting. Farai Marapira, the party's information chief, laughed off the claims and called them false. The NewsHawks newspaper had reported that Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga booted Tagwirei from a Central Committee session on Thursday. Party members supposedly sent messages saying security guards escorted the fuel tycoon out of the building. Marapira said none of this actually happened and dismissed the whole story.
The drama started when Tagwirei was supposed to join the Central Committee for the first time. Party leaders had backed his appointment just one day before the meeting. Reports claimed things went...

Former party leader Blessed Geza slammed his old colleagues for letting wealthy businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei buy his way into power. The kicked-out politician broke his silence to attack ruling party members who helped the tycoon climb the political ladder. Geza asked what makes Tagwirei special enough to jump straight into the top decision-making group. He accused party supporters of cheering for corruption right out in the open. The angry former official wondered how someone could go from nobody to presidential candidate overnight.
Tagwirei has been traveling across Zimbabwe speaking to party crowds after joining the powerful Central Committee. Many people think the businessman wants to become president when current leader...
Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga kicked business tycoon Kudakwashe Tagwirei out of his first ruling party meeting Thursday afternoon.
