The Seychelles Public Transport Corporation (SPTC) has unveiled a QR Code bus payment system and introduced five low-floor buses, enhancing convenience and accessibility for its passengers. At the launch held at Victoria Bus Terminal, the SPTC chief executive, Jeffy Zialor, hailed the QR Code platform as a “cutting-edge addition to our cashless ticketing solution.” Accessible through the SPTC app on Android and iOS smartphones, the system allows commuters to scan a QR code to pay for their fares. “This platform represents our commitment to embrace technology so as to improve efficiency and convenience for our passengers,” Zialor said. The innovation builds on SPTC’s transition to cashless travel in July 2023, which eliminated cash payments for bus rides with the introduction of an obligatory bus card. The QR Code system was tested during a six-month pilot on Praslin, the second-most populated island, where 600 tickets were sold daily. Alex Etienne, SPTC head of Corporate Affairs, said the new system addresses previous issues with payment delays. “Previously, some of our customers had experienced a lag when paying for their fares on the app, but with the introduction of the QR Code, the money is immediately loaded onto their cards,” he explained. Themed “We Are Evolving,” the launch also showcased five new buses, the final delivery in a fleet upgrade funded through a credit line from the Indian government. In total, 59 Ashok Leyland buses, valued at $2.8 million, have been acquired under the agreement. The Indian High Commissioner to Seychelles, Kartik Pande, reaffirmed India’s support for Seychelles’ development goals, saying, “India is standing alongside Seychelles in any developmental need as it embarks on the environmental energy-efficient route.” The new buses are designed with fuel efficiency in mind, reflecting SPTC’s commitment to sustainability. Zialor emphasised, “SPTC remains committed to the reduction of our carbon footprint and we have eagerly joined the world in a much-needed strategy for decarbonisation.” He also revealed plans to include at least two electric buses in the fleet replacement programme for 2025-2026. Each of the five new 60-seater buses, measuring 12 metres long, features accessibility improvements such as flat floors, a kneeling mechanism, and wheelchair ramps. These additions ensure greater inclusivity for passengers with mobility challenges. Alesha Seraphine, a wheelchair user who tested one of the buses during a ride to Perseverance, expressed her satisfaction. “It has been over 25 years that I have not been able to board an SPTC bus, but the new ones are easy to use and will cut my current reliance on taxis,” she said. SPTC currently operates a fleet of 230 buses serving Mahe and Praslin, with the 59 new buses bringing the proportion of modern vehicles to over 30 per cent. The company provides services to around 50,000 commuters daily.

The African Union on Thursday urged Ethiopia and Somalia to implement «without delay» an agreement aimed at ending tensions between the neighbours over Ethiopia's access to the sea, calling the deal an «important act». The two countries have been at loggerheads since landlocked Ethiopia struck a deal in January with Somalia's breakaway region Somaliland to lease a stretch of coastline for a port and military base. In return, Somaliland -- which unilaterally declared independence from Somalia in 1991 in a move not recognised by Mogadishu -- said Ethiopia would give it formal recognition, although this was never confirmed by Addis Ababa. Somalia branded the deal a violation of its sovereignty, setting international alarm bells ringing over the risk of renewed conflict in the volatile region. Following hours of Turkish-brokered talks, Ankara announced late Wednesday an «historic» agreement had been reached between Somalia and Ethiopia. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he believed the agreement would help Ethiopia gain its long-desired access to the sea. Technical talks are set for next year. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud had flown into Ankara for the talks following two previous rounds that made little progress. Speaking in the Turkish capital after the agreement, Mohamud said the neighbours had «mutual interests in cooperating together». «We belong to a region where peace and stability is first priority for our people's lives,» he said. African Union Commission Chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat stressed the «important act» taken by the leaders to find a deal but emphasised the urgency to «implement, without delay, the relevant measures adopted». He did not give any indication in the statement, posted on X, of what measures had been agreed. East Africa's regional bloc IGAD (the Intergovernmental Authority on Development) also welcomed the agreement as an «important step». It «demonstrates a commitment to resolving bilateral issues amicably», IGAD Executive Secretary Workneh Gebeyehu said. - 'Reliable, safe access' - According to the text of the accord published by Turkey, the parties agreed «to put aside differences of opinion and contentious issues, and to move resolutely forward in cooperation towards common prosperity». They agreed to work closely together on commercial arrangements and bilateral agreements that would ensure Ethiopia's «reliable, safe and sustainable access» to the sea «under the sovereign authority of the Federal Republic of Somalia». To that end, it said they would start technical talks no later than the end of February which would be completed «within four months», with any differences to be dealt with «though dialogue, where necessary with Turkey's support». However, there was no detail on how the agreement might impact the controversial memorandum of understanding between Somaliland and Ethiopia, which has never been made public. Ethiopian authorities did not immediately respond to AFP's requests for comment about the future of the agreement with Somaliland. A source close to the Somaliland government said nothing had changed regarding the agreement with Ethiopia, noting: «Agreeing to work together to resolve their dispute is not the same as walking away from the MOU.» While Abiy has repeatedly insisted that his country must have coastal access, he told parliament earlier this year that Ethiopia had «no interest in getting involved in a war» over access to the sea. In response, Mogadishu has strengthened its ties with Egypt, Ethiopia's long-time rival. Somalia expelled Ethiopia's ambassador in April and said Ethiopian troops would be excluded from a new African Union peacekeeping force against Islamist Al-Shabaab insurgents that is due to be deployed on January 1. Ethiopia, which has the second largest population in Africa with 120 million people, lost access to the sea when Eritrea gained independence in 1993. © Agence France-Presse  

French politics was on hold Thursday during a day trip to Poland by President Emmanuel Macron, who is expected to name a new prime minister a week after MPs toppled the government. Macron had promised to name a replacement government chief within 48 hours after meeting party leaders at his Elysee Palace office Tuesday, participants said. But he remains confronted with the complex political equation that emerged from July's snap parliamentary poll: how to secure a government against no-confidence votes in a lower house split three ways between a leftist alliance, centrists and conservatives, and the far-right National Rally (RN). Greens leader Marine Tondelier urged Macron on Thursday to «get out of his comfort zone» as he casts around for a name. «The French public want a bit of enthusiasm, momentum, fresh wind, something new,» she told France 2 television. Former prime minister Michel Barnier, whose government had support only from Macron's centrist camp and his own conservative political family, was felled last week in a confidence vote over his cost-cutting budget. His caretaker administration on Wednesday reviewed a bill designed to keep the lights of government on without a formal financial plan for 2025, allowing tax collection and borrowing to continue. Lawmakers are expected to widely support the draft law when it comes before parliament on Monday. - 'Look to the future' - At issue in the search for a new prime minister are both policies and personalities. Mainstream parties invited by Macron on Tuesday, ranging from the conservative Republicans to Socialists, Greens and Communists on the left, disagree deeply. One totemic issue is whether to maintain Macron's widely loathed 2023 pension reform that increased the official retirement age to 64, seen by centrists and the right as necessary to balance the budget but blasted by the left as unjust. On the personality front, Macron's rumoured top pick for a new PM, veteran centrist Francois Bayrou, raises hackles on both left and right. For the left he would embody a simple «continuation» of the president's policies to date, Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure has said. Meanwhile Bayrou is personally disliked by former president Nicolas Sarkozy, still influential on the right and reported to have Macron's ear. Other contenders include former Socialist interior minister and prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve, serving Defence Minister and Macron loyalist Sebastien Lecornu, or former foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian. But a name could still emerge from outside the pack, as happened with Barnier in September. Those in circulation «are names that have been around for years and haven't seduced the French. It's the past. I want us to look to the future,» Greens boss Tondelier said. - Far right 'not unhappy' - While the suspense over Macron's choice endures, there has been infighting on the left over whether to play along in the search for stability or stick to maximalist demands. Once a PM is named, «we will then have to have a discussion with whoever is named,» Socialist chief Faure said, saying the left must «be able to grab some victories for the French public». The Socialists' openness to cooperation has been denounced by their nominal ally Jean-Luc Melenchon, figurehead of the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI). «No coalition deals! No deal not to vote no confidence! Return to reason and come home!» he urged on Tuesday. Hardline attitudes are not necessarily vote-winners, with just over two-thirds of respondents to an Elabe poll published Wednesday saying they want politicians to reach a deal not to overthrow a new government. But confidence in the elite is limited, with around the same number saying they did not believe the political class could reach agreement. In a separate poll from Ifop, RN leader Marine Le Pen is credited with 35 percent support in the first round of a future presidential election -- well ahead of any likely opponent. She has said she is «not unhappy» her far-right party has been left out of the horse-trading around government formation, appearing for now to benefit from the chaos rather than suffer blame for bringing last week's no-confidence vote over the line. © Agence France-Presse

Jungtinių Valstijų prezidento Joe Bideno patarėjas nacionalinio saugumo klausimais Jake`as Sullivanas ketvirtadienį pareiškė, kad Izraelio ministras pirmininkas Benjaminas Netanyahu, atrodo, yra pasirengęs derėtis dėl Gazos Ruože laikomų įkaitų išlaisvinimo ir paliaubų susitarimo.

Politinių protestų krečiamame Sakartvele baiminamasi dar daugiau įtampų, kurios gali kilti savaitgalį, kai naująjį šalies prezidentą rinks nebe visuomenė, o, kritikų teigimu, šališka Rinkimų komisija. Tačiau netoli Rusijos okupuotų teritorijų gyvenantys kartvelai labiau nuogąstauja ne dėl politinės krizės, o Maskvos keršto. 

For the first time in almost a quarter-century, federal regulators are trying to enforce a law that bars suppliers from charging different prices for the same product.
