Uhapšen predsednik Burkine Faso

Predsednik Burkine Faso Rok Mark Kristijan Kabore uhapšen je i zatočen je u kasarni u glavnom gradu te zemlje Uagaduguu, dan posle pobuna u više kasarni u zemlji pogođenoj ekstremističkim nasiljem, saznaje agencija Frans pres iz bezbednosnih izvora.

„Predsednik Kabore, šef Parlamenta i ministri su u rukama vojnika“ u kasarni Sangule Lamizana u Uagaduguu“, rekao je jedan izvor.

Tu informaciju je potvrdio drugi izvor bezbednosnih službi.

Pucnji su se čuli kasno sinoć blizu rezidencije predsednika, a rano jutros vodile su se borbe kod predsedničke palate dok je helikopter nadletao to mesto, prenosi agencija AP.

Putevi do glavnog grada bili su prazni sinoć, izuzev kontrolnih punktova na kojima su naoružani pobunjeni vojnici.

Vojnici su postavljeni jutros ispred državne televizije RTB u Uagadugu. Oko desetak vojnika sa prekrivenim licima postavljeno je ispred centrale televizije RTB.

Pobuna vojnika usledila je dan posle demonstracija na kojima se pozivalo za ostavku Kaborea, u najnovijem u seriji protesta zbog nezadovoljstva kako se vlada obračunava sa nasiljem islamističkih ekstremista u zemlji.

Vlada od juče nije davala izjave. Ministar odbrane Eme Bartelemi Sempore rekao je ranije za državnu televiziju da je nekoliko kasarni pogodjeno nemirima, ne samo u Uagaduguu nego i u drugim gradovima. On je tada demantovao da pobunjeni vojnici drže u zatočeništvu predsednika Kabor iako nije bilo poznato gde se nalazi.

U zemlji raste frustracija oko nesposobnosti predsednika da zaustavi širenje ekstremističkog nasilja. Napadi vezani za Al Kaidu i Islamsku državu eskaliraju, hiljade ljudi je ubijeno a više od 1,5 miliona raseljeno.

Predsednik Kabore došao je na vlast 2015. i ponovo je izabran 2020. na osnovu obećanja da će njegov prioritet biti borba protiv ekstremista.

Juče je predsednik Kabore uveo policijski čas od 20.00 do 5.30 ujutro.

В субботу стало известно о проведении в Туркменистане внеочередных выборов президента. Накануне действующий глава государства Гурбангулы Бердымухамедов заявил о необходимости допустить молодых руководителей к государственному управлению, передает центральное государственное агентство TDH. При этом глава государства отметил, что намерен оставить за собой пост председателя Халк Маслахаты — верхней палаты парламента.

Thank you to all Pakistanis for their amazing outpouring of support & emotions to protest against US-backed regime change abetted by local Mir Jafars to bring into power a coterie of pliable crooks all out on bail. Shows Pakistanis at home & abroad have emphatically rejected this

New York (CNN)- Russia's invasion of Ukraine has contributed to an historic shock to commodity markets that will keep global prices high through the end of 2024, according to the World Bank.

The spike in energy prices over the past two years is the biggest since the 1973 oil crisis, while the jump in food prices is the most since 2008, the World Bank said Tuesday in its commodity markets outlook report.

"Overall, this amounts to the largest commodity shock we've experienced since the 1970s," said Indermit Gill, the World Bank's vice president for equitable growth, finance and institutions.

Russia is a leading exporter of oil, natural gas and coal, while Ukraine is a major source of wheat and corn. The situation has been exacerbated by soaring fertilizer costs and price spikes for key metals.

After nearly doubling last year, energy prices are expected to jump more than 50% this year before easing in 2023 and 2024, the World Bank said. Food prices will soar by 22.9% this year, highlighted by a 40% rise in wheat prices, according to the report.

"These developments have started to raise the specter of stagflation," the World Bank warned. "Policymakers should take every opportunity to increase economic growth at home and avoid actions that will bring harm to the global economy."

Prices are expected to stay at "historically high levels" through the end of 2024, the World Bank said.
The fear is that high prices for necessities will hit low-income families the hardest.

"The resulting increase in food and energy prices is taking a significant human and economic toll -- and it will likely stall progress in reducing poverty," Ayhan Kose, director of the World Bank's Prospects Group, said in the report.
