Algerians are being urged to vote yes to a new constitution in a November 1 referendum the government has touted as the foundation for a new state.
President Abdelmadjed Tebboune has said the new constitution, will usher in greater freedoms and democracy.
But opinion is divided. Algeria's protest movement which forced veteran ruler Abdelaziz Bouteflika out of power has called for a boycott of the vote and rejects the authority of Tebboune.
The new constitution would give the prime minister and parliament more powers to govern the North African country of 45 million people, a draft released earlier this year showed.
\"We support the constitutional reforms project and we the young people must be the future of Algeria, and we came here to support this project on November 1st,\" said Amin, a high school student.
Algeria's protest movement has opposed the vote, calling for an overhaul of the country's political system.
\"Personally, I don't think I can trust this government which was not elected and is illegal. I do not trust these next elections, in this referendum, therefore I cannot take part in them. I do not support this project,\" said Ait Said Abdel Nour, a student.
The country’s constitution has been amended several times since independence from France. During the 20-year Bouteflika era, it had been drafted to suit the ex-ruler’s needs.
Other critics of the draft constitution say it maintains a powerful presidency and military while undermining the judiciary and parliament as watchdog institutions.
By JOSEPH PISANI AP Retail Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Macy's said Santa Claus won't be greeting kids at its flagship New York store this year due to the coronavirus, interrupting a holiday tradition started nearly 160 years ago.

BY STAFF REPORTER NORTON legislator Temba Mliswa (Independent) has pleaded with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate Police Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga for alleged corruption and abuse of office. In a letter dated October 20, Mliswa claimed that in December 2019, Matanga in the company of his chief staff officer (transport and logistics) Commissioner (Gift) Hlabiso, allegedly approached Croco Motors intending to purchase 80 operations vehicles without following due processes and procedures. “In his personal capacity, CG Matanga is alleged to have asked Croco Motors to clear the 80 vehicles on customs clearance certificates under Zimbabwe Republic Police. Matanga is further alleged to have instructed Croco Motors to brand the aforementioned vehicles in the ZRP [Zimbabwe Republic Police] colours ready for collection,” the letter read. “During the routine inspection of Croco Motors, Zimbabwe Revenue Authority officers discovered various anomalies in the procurement process of the said vehicles and an alarm was raised.” Mliswa said noting that his actions were not in order, Matanga allegedly attempted to institute proper tender procedures, but failed. The Norton legislator also claimed that Matanga was involved in the purchase of two command vehicles for his subordinates at inflated costs of US$43 000 and US$66 000 each, respectively. “These dealings ought to be fraught with irregularities and in an attempt to conceal the corruption, the police tried to engage Scanlink company entrusted to provide the vehicles to reimburse the value of the inflated amount. In full knowledge, Matanga ignored procurement processes in blatant abuse of office,” Mliswa said. He also claimed that Matanga was the beneficiary of five residential stands in Sandton, near Westgate, which were allegedly obtained through corrupt means from a land developer. “It is further alleged that Matanga benefited residential stands through the then mayor Herbert Gomba and as a result these allegations, is necessary for investigations (sic),” Mliswa said. He accused Matanga, Drax International local representative Delish Nguwaya and Special Anti-Corruption Unit boss Tabani Mpofu of targeting President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s loyalists for arrest. Mliswa’s letter was copied to Mnangagwa, his deputies Constantino Chiwenga, Kembo Mohadi, State Security minister Owen Ncube, Home Affairs minister Kazembe Kazembe and Auditor-General Mildred Chiri, among others.

By DEB RIECHMANN and MATTHEW LEE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced Friday that Sudan will start to normalize ties with Israel, making it the third Arab state to do so as part of U.S.-brokered deals in the run-up to Election Day. The deal, which would deepen Sudan's engagement with the West, follows Trump's conditional agreement this week to remove the North African nation from the list of state sponsors of terrorism if it pays compensation to American victims of terror attacks. It also delivers a foreign policy achievement for Trump just days before the U.S. election […]

By KATHLEEN RONAYNE and ELLEN KNICKMEYER Associated Press Democrat Joe Biden's remark that he would 'transition' away from oil in the U.S. in favor of renewable energy drew quick attention Thursday night from President Donald Trump, who saw it as a boon to his election chances in key states. 'I would transition away from the oil industry, yes,' Biden said in the presidential debate's closing minutes under peppering from Trump. 'The oil industry pollutes, significantly. It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time.' The Biden campaign's climate plan calls for the U.S. to have net-zero greenhouse gas emissions […]

BY KENNEDY NYAVAYA CONTROVERSIAL dancehall chanter Soul Jah Love has once again confirmed his undying love for ex-wife Bounty Lisa through a yet-to-be released song titled Hatisisiritose if a snippet from the video of the track shared on DKT Family Records Facebook page on Wednesday is anything to go by. In the song that features Humba, Soul Jah Love recounts the misery of losing the love of his life who has since moved on and re-married a secret lover only identified as Paul. They have since been blessed with a baby boy. Bounty Lisa and Soul Jah Love, who had become a celebrity couples, had a nasty break-up as a result of the latter’s supposed violent behaviour and excessive drug abuse. “Munhu wese anoda ku winner hapana anoda ku loser asi apa ndinenge ndaka loser ndangova fuza (Everyone wants to win, no one wants to lose, but on this one I lost and I am going crazy),” he sings in one of the verses. In the same song, Soul Jah Love suggests that the songstress should remove the tattoo inscribed with his name at the height of their love in 2017 while also threatening that theirs will forever be a love triangle as he could not let go of her. “… bvisa tattoo manga mafunga ka two nyangwe muchiti makugara zvenyu muri two, titori three inini handife ndakaita free ndomufunga ginya (… remove the tattoo if you have decided to live together, this will be a love triangle because I will never be free as I always think of you).” This is not the first time, Soul Jah Love has gone public about his intimate feelings for his ex-wife. “We are currently separated, but honestly speaking, I love that woman from the bottom of my heart and I will never love someone else the way I do to her. I may be immoral outside my marital home, but that won’t change the fact that I love her,” he said in a radio interview last year. While Soul Jah Love appears to still have warmth for Bounty Lisa, it could be too late to rekindle the flame with the song coming at a time the songstress appears to have settled with her new man.
