World leaders urged Israel against a full scale invasion of Lebanon after it's army said it began limited ground operations in the latest step in its showdown with Hezbollah. The two arch-foes have engaged in low-level clashes since the outbreak of war in Gaza, but tensions have skyrocketed in recent weeks as Israel shifted its focus to its northern border and staged a strike in which Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed. - Avoid 'greater suffering': UN - After Israel said its troops were engaged in «limited raids» in Lebanon, the United Nations warned against those raids turning into a «large-scale ground invasion». «The consequences for civilians have already been terrible,» Liz Throssell, spokeswoman for the UN rights office, told reporters in Geneva. «We fear a large-scale ground invasion by Israel into Lebanon would only result in greater suffering.» While warning that Israel entering Lebanon would be «in violation of Lebanese sovereignty and territorial integrity», the UN peacekeeping force in south Lebanon told AFP there was «no ground incursion right now». - Limited backing: US - US President Joe Biden indicated Monday he was opposed to Israel putting troops on the ground in Lebanon, adding: «We should have a ceasefire now». But late on Monday Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin gave Washington's backing to Israel «dismantling attack infrastructure along the border». - No troops for Hezbollah: Iran - Though Hezbollah's key backer Iran had vowed Israel's «destruction» for the killing of the millitant group's chief Nasrallah, it said ahead of the Israeli action that it would not deploy troops to Lebanon. «There is no need to send extra or volunteer forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,» said foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani. The same applied to Gaza, where Israel has been locked in war with Hamas -- also backed by Tehran -- since the Palestinian militant group's October 7 attack on Israel that began the war. - Immediate Israeli withdrawal: Russia - Russia, which has close ties with Iran, urged Israel «to immediately cease hostilities, withdraw their troops from Lebanese territory and engage in a real search for peaceful ways to resolve the Middle East conflict». «We express our solidarity with the leadership and people of friendly Lebanon, which has been subjected to armed aggression,» the Russian foreign ministry said. - 'Highly concerned': China - In the wake of the Israeli announcement, China said it was «highly concerned about the escalation» and was opposed to «infringements on Lebanon's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity». A foreign ministry statement also warned against «any actions that exacerbate conflicts and lead to a further escalation of the regional situation.» - 'Unlawful invasion attempt': Turkey - A frequent critic of Israel's strikes on Lebanon and conduct of the war in Gaza, Turkey slammed Israel's ground offensive as an «unlawful invasion attempt». «This attack must end as soon as possible and Israeli soldiers must withdraw from Lebanese territory,» the foreign ministry said. «All state and international organisations, especially the UN, must stop Israel without wasting any more time,» said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who added that Israel might even target Turkey. - 'False claims': Hezbollah - Yet Hezbollah itself denied that Israeli troops had crossed into Lebanon. «All the Zionist claims that (Israeli) occupation forces have entered Lebanon are false claims,» a Hezbollah spokesman told the, adding there had «not yet been any direct ground clash between (Hezbollah) resistance fighters and (Israeli) occupation forces». A source from the Lebanese army -- whose capabilities are dwarfed by Hezbollah's military might -- likewise said that it «had not observed any penetration by Israeli enemy forces into Lebanese territory». © Agence France-Presse

Joe Biden's choice of Angola as his first trip to Africa as president underscores the influence of the oil-rich country as the focus of one of the biggest US infrastructure projects on the continent in a counterpoint to China's investments. Biden's October 13-15 visit, which comes just months before his term ends, will centre on a massive multinational project to rehabilitate a 1,300-kilometre (800-mile) railway that will connect mineral-rich inland countries with Angola's Atlantic seaport of Lobito. The Lobito Corridor will transport resources critical to the global economy, including copper and cobalt, from mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia to the port for export. The project is a piece in the geopolitical battle between the United States and its allies and China, which owns mines in the DRC and Zambia among an array of investments in the region. Biden called it «the biggest US rail investment in Africa ever» when he met Angolan President Joao Lourenco at the White House in December. «For Washington, Angola is an example of an African state that has become less ideological and that is actively diversifying its relations from being overly exposed to China and to a lesser extent Russia,» Chatham House Africa programme director Alex Vines said. - Emerging power - «Washington also sees Angola as an emerging, middle power in Africa,» he told AFP. The Portuguese-speaking nation of 37 million people is Africa's second-largest crude oil exporter, according to 2022 figures from the International Energy Agency, with the oil industry making up about 90 percent of its exports. The eighth-largest economy in Africa in terms of GDP, according to IMF estimates, its people are poor and jobless. The youth unemployment rate stood at 58 percent in 2023, the World Bank says. «Angola is diversifying its international partnerships but also needs to increase FDI (foreign direct investment),» Vines said. «Growing US investment in Angola is important for Luanda as part of this strategy.» The country was devastated by a 27-year civil war that started immediately on independence from Portugal in 1975, when the UNITA rebel movement challenged the ruling MPLA that is still in power today. The United States recognised the Angolan government in 1993, becoming an importer of its oil. Since Lourenco's election as president in 2017, US-Angola relations have warmed significantly, Vines said. It is a turnaround from the Cold War years when Washington funnelled covert aid to UNITA. Angola's growing assertiveness is also shown in its mediation to end the conflict in the eastern DRC region of North Kivu, where Rwanda-backed M23 rebels have been fighting government forces since late 2021. Talks in Luanda in late 2022 reached an agreement for a drawback of the M23, with a ceasefire announced in July 2024, which Kinshasa says has generally been respected. - Counterbalance to China - Peace and security as well as strengthening democracy would also be discussed during Biden's visit, the White House said. Rights groups and opposition activists have accused Angola's authorities of growing repression, including with new laws that would restrict media and clamp down on protests. But the focus is the railway project, which Washington has said could even be extended across the continent to the Indian Ocean. Beijing, meanwhile, agreed at a China-Africa summit in September to rehabilitate a separate railway line from inland mining countries to the Indian Ocean on the TAZARA route from Zambia to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Cesaltina Abreu, a sociologist at Catholic University in Luanda, cautioned that the United States «does not have friends, just interests». «The US also wants to counterbalance the growing China influence in Africa, specifically in southern Africa. But there's not any guarantee that the Lobito Corridor project will promote sustainable and inclusive development for local people,» she said. «We need to establish balanced relations with all superpowers and powers both on political and economic grounds,» said Heitor Carvalho, researcher at Lusiada University. © Agence France-Presse

Seychelles and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have reached a staff-level agreement on the third review under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) arrangements. The IMF mission is in Seychelles to conduct the review under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), which was agreed in May 2023. The last review was done in April 2024 The three-year arrangement for Seychelles under the EFF in an amount equivalent to $56 million, as well as a three-year arrangement under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), equivalent to $46 million. An IMF team has been in Seychelles since September 18 and has observed that the government has made strong progress in implementing policies under the EFF and RSF programmes. «I am happy to report that we have reached a staff-level agreement on the completion of the review, and subject to approval by the IMF executive board, we should be in a position to release the equivalent of about $12 million when I meet the board in December,» said the mission chief of the IMF, Todd Schneider. Schneider's end-of-mission statement said that good progress has been made on a range of macro-structural issues, although several measures still need to be completed before the end of the year. «Economic growth appears to be slower than anticipated. Real GDP is projected to grow by 3 percent in 2024, compared to an earlier forecast of 3.7 percent,» said Schneider. This has been attributed mainly to the lower tourist arrivals after a reduction in the number of direct flights to Seychelles, as well as a decline in the average spending per tourist, although there is expected to be some recovery in the last quarter of 2024. «Despite the slowdown in tourism, the external balance of payments is expected to strengthen in 2024,» Schneider said. He explained that weaker income from tourism is expected to expand the current account deficit to 10.7 percent of GDP in 2024, compared to 7.2 percent in 2023. In a press conference on Tuesday, the Minister for Finance, Trade and Economic Planning, Naadir Hassan, said that the government is discussing with the various airlines to offer incentives to encourage airlines to continue flying to Seychelles, even outside the peak season. «We are quite confident that this is a temporary issue and that we have taken the necessary measures, to address it,» he added.   Aside from the EFF, which provides financial assistance to countries facing serious medium-term balance of payments problems because of structural weaknesses that require time to address, Seychelles is also part of the RSF programme. This provides affordable long-term financing to countries undertaking reforms to reduce risks to prospective balance of payments stability, including those related to climate change and pandemic preparedness. Schneider said, «The authorities are advancing in reform measures agreed under the RSF. Efforts in this area focus on climate-related public investment, developing a strategy for climate financing, and strengthening supervision to assess climate risks to the banking sector.»  Schneider met with President Ramkalawan on Monday.
