 This is good news,JB only messed on the issue of selling the Jet to south Africa but she has done her part in making the two political parties UTM and MCP agree to field one candidate in the just ended elections. The only area where JB need to improve is to stop walking in the foot steps of Muluzi, taking a party as family asset. She is always trying to prepare for her son Roy who is in the cabinet now.Thanks Dr,Moir

STORIES OF NOTE
Postcards From the Wedge
A new Election 2020 reporting series from Foreign Policy.

Niche foreign-policy issues could become make-or-break affairs in battleground states, from Cuba for Florida Latinos to the treatment of Somali refugees in Minnesota.

Foreign Policy takes an in-depth look at these critical issues in the lead-up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election in Postcards From the Wedge, beginning with these recent stories: 

   - Ireland Is on the Ballot in Pennsylvania by FP’s Dan Haverty: Threats to the Good Friday Agreement—and culture wars—make this a critical constituency in a swing state. 
   - ‘Between a Rock and a Hard Place’: War-Weary Syrian Americans Want Resolution by FP reporter and Security Brief co-author Jack Detsch: In a swing state with a razor-thin margin in 2016, one tiny voting bloc could be key.
   - ‘This Is Personal’: Minnesota’s Somali Americans Fear Reckoning in Second Trump Term by FP’s Allison Meakem: A solid blue state is closer to being in play this year—galvanizing Somali Americans in an election they call “do or die.”

Award-Winning Dispatch: Central Africa’s Rangers Are as Threatened as the Animals They Guard
By Jack Losh, journalist, photographer, and filmmaker covering conservation, humanitarian issues, and traditional cultures.
Park staff struggle to protect the animals—and themselves—against poachers and militias.

The following dispatch by FP contributor Jack Losh was recognized by the 2020 Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents.

BAMINGUI-BANGORAN NATIONAL PARK, Central African Republic—The rebels entered the wildlife reserve by motorbike, brandishing assault rifles and demanding what was theirs.

“That’s when you decide whether you’re going to fight or not,” said Andrea Ghiurghi, who, until recently, was the coordinator of Bamingui-Bangoran National Park in the Central African Republic. “If you kill one of them, you know that 50 more are going to come back and destroy everything.”

It was March 2018. Three days earlier, rangers had caught a poacher and confiscated his AK-47 assault rifle. Now around 20 rebels, belonging to an armed group whose members regularly lend their high-powered firearms to bushmeat hunters, wanted the weapon back.
