Trump and Xi Agree to One-Year Trade Truce at APEC Summit in South Korea

United States President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed to pause their escalating trade dispute, reaching a one-year truce during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea. The agreement marks the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since 2019 and aims to ease months of tension that have rattled global markets and disrupted international supply chains. While the truce temporarily halts the exchange of new tariffs, it does not reverse existing trade barriers or fully resolve deep-rooted disagreements between Washington and Beijing. Dennis Wilder, a professor at Georgetown University and former China specialist for the CIA and the White House National Security Council, told Al Jazeera that the outcome represents “a pause and a small rollback in the trade war.” “Both sides have not given up their trade weapons but have agreed to stop […]

Tanzania: Gunfire and Deaths Reported as Protests Erupt After Disputed Election

Gunfire echoed across parts of Dar-es-Salaam on Thursday as Tanzanian police clashed with protesters following a highly contested presidential election. Amnesty International confirmed the deaths of at least two people — a civilian and a police officer — amid growing unrest in the country’s largest city. In the Mbagala, Gongo la Mboto, and Kiluvya neighborhoods, demonstrators defied a government-imposed curfew, burning polling stations and chanting against what they called a rigged election. Tear gas and live rounds were reportedly fired to disperse the crowds. Tigere Chagutah, Amnesty International’s regional director for East and Southern Africa, condemned the violence, describing the deaths as “deeply disturbing.” He urged the authorities to “conduct a thorough and independent investigation into the unlawful use of lethal force” and to ensure accountability for those responsible. Internet access remained heavily restricted throughout Dar-es-Salaam, cutting off many residents […]

Okoe Boye Defends $100m LHIMS Payments, Says Work Justified All Disbursements

Former Health Minister Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye has defended payments made under the $100 million Lightwave Health Information Management System (LHIMS) project, insisting that all funds disbursed during his tenure were based on verified work completed. His response follows allegations by current Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, who claimed the contract was marred by irregularities and had been referred to the Attorney-General for review and possible prosecution. According to Akandoh, the vendor received over $77 million despite completing less than half of the installations under the nationwide health digitization project. Dr. Okoe Boye rejected that claim, explaining that all payments made under the previous administration corresponded with project progress at the time. “The total project is worth 100 million dollars. They have not been paid more than that. At the time we exited, our reconciliation with the vendor showed that […]

Mahama Warns Unregulated AI Threatens Global Information Integrity

President John Dramani Mahama has warned that the rapid and unregulated expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) poses a serious threat to global information integrity, cautioning that it could fuel misinformation and distort public discourse if left unchecked. Speaking at the International Conference on Information Integrity in Paris, Mahama said AI-powered tools such as deepfakes and algorithmic manipulation are reshaping how people perceive truth, making it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction. “If we’re to build a sustainable planet, we must also build an informed public,” he said. “The dawn of artificial intelligence has transformed the information landscape. While AI offers immense opportunities for innovation, it also amplifies the risk of misinformation and economic disruption.” The Ghanaian leader emphasized the need for collective global action to ensure that technology serves humanity rather than undermines it. “Deepfakes, synthetic media, and algorithmic […]

United States President Donald Trump says the Washington-brokered ceasefire in Gaza is holding, even as Israeli strikes killed more than 100 Palestinians in a short period, including dozens of children. Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported that about 12 hours from Tuesday to Wednesday, at least 104 Palestinians were killed and 253 wounded.

Tanzania Votes as President Samia Suluhu Hassan Heads for Easy Re-Election

Voters across Tanzania are heading to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new president, parliament, and local councillors. But despite the appearance of a competitive race, few doubt the outcome: President Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to win comfortably, extending the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party’s six-decade hold on power. The CCM—known as the Party of the Revolution—has governed Tanzania uninterrupted for 64 years. And while multiple candidates are listed on the ballot, analysts and rights groups say the field has been heavily tilted in favor of the incumbent. “This election is more of a coronation than a contest,” said political analyst Joseph Mwaipopo. “The opposition has been systematically weakened, leaving voters with little real choice.” Opposition Silenced Before the Vote Human rights organizations have reported widespread intimidation of opposition figures, activists, and journalists ahead of the election.

Trump Eyes ‘Great Deal’ with China Ahead of High-Stakes APEC Summit

As anticipation builds ahead of a pivotal U.S.-China meeting, former U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that he expects to seal a “great deal” with Chinese President Xi Jinping—one that could reshape trade relations between the world’s two largest economies. Speaking at a business luncheon on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, Trump described the expected deal as “something very exciting for everybody,” emphasizing that resolving tensions would be far better than “fighting and going through all sorts of problems.” The comments come as Trump prepares for his first face-to-face meeting with Xi since launching his second trade war against Beijing. The meeting, scheduled for Thursday in Busan, is expected to focus on tariff reductions, fentanyl production control, and rare earth mineral exports—issues central to the strained U.S.-China relationship. Trade Tensions, Tariffs, and […]
