The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has again updated its recommendations for Thanksgiving celebrations amid a recent spike in coronavirus cases.
Mohammed has spent several weeks sleeping in his cramped trading booth in one of Guangzhou's export centres after being kicked out of his apartment and forced into quarantine in April, but the Tanzanian trader says he is content to be in China.
Guangzhou is the hub for Africans engaged in trade in China, often small-scale business owners dealing in garments and other consumer goods, and is also a centre for students from the continent.
While black Africans living in China say they have long experienced discrimination, several said the targeting of their community during the pandemic was deeply unsettling.
When five Nigerians tested positive for coronavirus in April, after China had shut its borders to foreigners, local government units in Guangzhou singled out Africans for mandatory tests and quarantines, the US consulate in the city said.
All the 20 Africans Reuters spoke with in Guangzhou said they were strongly supportive of the Black Lives Matter protests in the United States and elsewhere.
To safeguard the lives of Kenyans and livelihoods from climate crisis effects, in 2018, he announced that Kenya would be moving to 100percent green energy by 2020.
Instead, Kenya is still ambitious in investing in the Lamu coal power plant and Kitui coal mining.
Kenya has a chance to make the next move towards achieving 100 percent green energy this year and that is not harbouring ambitions for coal investments.
By investing in the abundant renewable energy potential, Kenya is able to improve its agricultural production and overcome the looming crisis.
The development of a coal power plant in Lamu and coal mining in Kitui will undermine Kenya’s strategic position as a leader in renewable energy.
The allocations to conservation (tourism, wildlife and environment) averaged at 1.4 per cent (Kenya), 1.7 per cent (Uganda), 3.8 per cent (Rwanda) and one per cent (Tanzania) of Total Development Expenditure.
With a contracting global economy and shocks on the domestic economies, and considering that Covid-19 has been classified as a zoonotic disease, African Wildlife Foundation continues to counsel on how best to curb future pandemics and build resilient economies.
An East African Business Council assessment of the Covid-19 impact, estimated that East Africa Community will potentially lose upwards of $5.4 billion in tourism revenue since the pandemic due to travel restrictions and hotel booking cancellations.
Wildlife is the chief attraction of East Africa’s tourism sector and has received substantial investment from governments.
Conservation is often seen as an impediment to exploitation of natural resources, infrastructure development, cheap energy and expansion of economic activity such as commercial agriculture and industrial investment.
The statement said the decision is in line with Saudi’s own public health considerations and the evolution of the virus spread across the world.
Given local and international public health considerations: “it has been decided that Hajj for this year (1441 H/ 2020 AD) will be held whereby a very limited number of pilgrims from various nationalities who already reside in Saudi Arabia, would be able to perform it.
“This decision is taken to ensure Hajj is performed in a safe manner from a public health perspective while observing all preventative measures and the necessary social distancing protocols to protect human beings from the risks associated with this pandemic and in accordance with the teachings of Islam in preserving the lives of human beings,” the statement added.
The main procedures take place in the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, Dhul Hijjah; but prospective pilgrims from around the world begin arriving in the country long before to acclimatise and undertake some optional routines before the pilgrimage proper kicks off.
“The government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques is honored to serve millions of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims annually and it confirms that this decision stems from the top priority it accords maintaining the safety of pilgrims on its land until they depart to their home countries.
