The Ethiopia-Somaliland naval base deal is a violation of international law

On January 1, 2024, Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Republic of Somaliland – an unrecognized secessionist region within the Federal Republic of Somalia. The MOU grants Ethiopia twenty kilometers of coastal land in the Awdal province for fifty years to build a navy, in exchange for Ethiopia recognizing Somaliland as a sovereign state. The Federal Government of Somalia, which is the internationally recognized government, has fiercely objected to the MOU, calling it “null and void.” The international community, including the United States, European Union, African Union, and Arab League have called for respecting Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

'You can't afford it, is it?' Row erupts between vendor and customer at Ang Mo Kio market, police called in

'You can't afford it?' These words alleged uttered by a market vendor to a customer sparked a row on Friday (May 10), and police were called in. According to a Shin Min Daily News report on Saturday, the altercation occurred at a market located at Block 527 Ang Mo Kio 10 at around 8am. The BBQ and braised meats stall owner surnamed Wu, 46, told Shin Min Daily News that the argument had erupted following a customer's enquiry about the price of his braised pork. «The moment she came to my stall she complained that my braised pork was too expensive. So I simply said, 'If you think it's too expensive then don't buy'. She then started to scold me and I scolded her back,» said Wu. He alleged that his mobile phone was also knocked to the ground in the ensuing fracas. When contacted by a Shin Min reporter, the customer, surnamed Yu, had a slightly different take on what had transpired. According to the 40-year-old medical worker, she and her husband had just bought some braised duck wings from another stall when they chanced upon Wu's braised meat stall.

Neither Boeing nor Airbus? Scoot gets Singapore's first Brazil-made jet off the ground

SINGAPORE - It was a rare moment in his 20 years of flying commercial aircraft. As the Embraer E190-E2 plane touched down in Krabi, Thailand, after taking off from Changi Airport on May 7, Captain Darius Yeo was greeted with applause from passengers. The 46-year-old, who is the pilot in charge of Scoot's new E190-E2 fleet, was at the controls of the budget carrier's first Brazilian-made jet on its maiden commercial flight. While the 112-seat plane is smaller than the Airbus A320, Boeing 777 and double-deck Airbus A380 «superjumbo» he previously flew, the flight was no less significant. Made in Sao Jose dos Campos, a city in Brazil an hour from Sao Paulo, the E190-E2 is the first aircraft from manufacturer Embraer operated by a Singapore carrier. It is also the first time since the late 1990s that a carrier in the Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group is flying a plane not supplied by Boeing or Airbus. For passengers, the main benefit besides the novelty and added option is the absence of a middle seat. Capt Yeo said the jet, touted as being the quietest in its class, has so far lived up to expectations.
