Kamala Harris has yet to concede the 2024 election to Donald Trump, and the pressure on her to do so is mounting.

Donald Trump 's political comeback was hailed as the 'greatest in history' after the former president sealed a stunning return to the White House by defeating Kamala Harris.

Somalia is a land of unexploited potential. For years, it has been defined more by what it lacks than by what it possesses. Yet, beneath the surface, the country holds valuable natural resources that—if harnessed—could be the foundation of a thriving economy. Will Somalia act in time, or will it watch as global markets shift, leaving its untapped wealth squandered?

Somalia has announced that more than $1.1bn (£860m) of outstanding loans will be cancelled by the US, a sum representing about a quarter of the country’s remaining debt.

Donald Trump has won the US presidential election, media said Wednesday, defeating Kamala Harris in a stunning political comeback that will send shock waves across the world. The polarizing Republican's victory, following one of the most hostile campaigns in modern US history, was all the more remarkable given an unprecedented criminal conviction, a near-miss assassination attempt, and warnings from a former chief of staff that he is a «fascist.» «It's a political victory that our country has never seen before,» Trump told a victory party in Florida. Vice President Harris, who only entered the race in July after President Joe Biden dropped out, ran a centrist campaign that highlighted Trump's inflammatory messaging and use of openly racist and sexist tropes. But his apocalyptic warnings about immigration and championing of isolationism found their mark with voters battered by the post-Covid economy and eager for a change from the Biden years. The campaign pointed to a nail-bitingly close contest, but the results came surprisingly fast, delivering a crushing victory that included wins in the swing states of Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Trump is the first president in more than a century to win a non-consecutive second term. He is also the only person to be elected as a convicted felon -- he will face sentencing in a New York court for fraud on November 26. Already 78, Trump is on course to break another record as the oldest-ever sitting president during his four-year term. He will surpass Biden who is set to step down in January at the age of 82. - Impact on foreign policy - The US dollar surged and bitcoin hit a record high while most equity markets advanced, with traders betting on a victory for Trump as the results rolled in. But turmoil likely lies ahead. Trump's victory comes with his promise of radical policy shifts -- not just at home but also abroad, where his unrestrained isolationist and nationalist «America First» stance is likely to have enormous consequences. He has repeatedly suggested he would end the conflict in Ukraine by pressuring Kyiv to make territorial concessions to Russia, and his threat of mass deportations of illegal immigrants has stirred deep concern in Latin America. He also returns to the White House as a climate change denier, poised to dismantle his predecessor Biden's green policies and jeopardize global efforts to curb human-caused warming. Even before Trump's stunning victory was fully confirmed, foreign leaders rushed to send congratulations. These included longtime Trump allies, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Also messaging Trump was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is predicted to see a rapid reduction in US military aid once Biden leaves office. Zelenksy said he hoped the «impressive victory» would help his country find a «just peace.» NATO's chief, Mark Rutte, said Trump, who has frequently expressed displeasure with the US-led alliance, would make it «strong.» British Prime Minister Keir Starmer joined the stream of well-wishers, while French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to join Trump in working «with respect and ambition.»  - Showman's instinct -  For all his dark promises of political revenge against enemies at home and his criticisms of longstanding allies overseas, Trump remains famously unpredictable when it comes to matching words with actions. His campaign rallies, filled with grievance, insults and misinformation, featured extreme rhetoric. But he won positive coverage with viral online moments that played on his everyman appeal and his showman's instinct -- like his appearance at a McDonald's drive-thru and impromptu news conference from a garbage truck. He campaigned on tax cuts, less regulation and the most significant increase in import tariffs in nearly a century to promote growth and boost manufacturing, despite warnings of trade wars and higher prices for US consumers. Trump's more mainstream messaging often became overshadowed by his tendency to lurch into foul language and violent imagery. But that hard-charging style played well with his unfailingly loyal base, which sees him as a Washington outsider. And he gained traction with his hard-line anti-immigration message and outreach to working-class voters hit by Covid-triggered inflation. When Harris joined the race in July, replacing Biden, she soon managed to close the yawning gap Trump had opened over the president in opinion polls. Her message of unity, focus on abortion rights and warnings of the threat Trump posed to democracy appeared to resonate, evidenced by a huge surge in fundraising that swelled her campaign war chest way beyond her rival's. Ultimately, however, she fell short of what would have been a historic win as the first Black woman elected to the White House. © Agence France-Presse

Egypt joined a call led by Turkey and backed by dozens of countries, urging the United Nations to halt arms deliveries to Israel, citing concerns over their use. The call came as Israel battles Hamas in the Gaza Strip while also fighting a war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. A foreign ministry statement on Tuesday said Egypt joined the call as part of «international efforts to pressure Israel to cease its continuous violations of international law and international humanitarian law». It also aims to stop «Israeli violations» against Palestinians and protect civilians, the statement read. Israel's ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon on Monday accused Turkey of «malice,» after Ankara submitted a letter signed by 52 countries calling for a halt in arms deliveries to Israel. Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, followed by Jordan in 1994. In 2020, the Abraham Accords, mediated by the United States, saw the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco recognise Israel. © Agence France-Presse

Several agencies in Seychelles are taking part in a tabletop exercise that aims to empower them to prepare and respond to chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) events. Taking place at the Laila Resort at Anse Royale, the training has representatives from agencies such as the Disaster Risk Management Division (DRMD), the Seychelles Police, the Ministry of Health, and the Department of Environment, among others. The Tabletop Exercise (TTX) is part of the project «Toolkit on Effective CBRN Planning and Response for Policy-makers and CBRN Managers.» It is organised by the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), in partnership with the United States (US) Department of State (DoS) and the European Union CBRN Centres of Excellence Initiative (CoE). Francesco Morelli, the head of the CBRN Unit of UNICRI, who is leading the three-day workshop, said that it is very important for countries to be ready at all times to deal with such an event. «We are discussing what are the most important steps to be taken so that effective response can be delivered immediately,» said Morelli. There are three main objectives of the project and these include identifying common challenges and good practices in the response phase of previous CBRN events. Another objective is to simplify the main tools that policy-makers and CBRN managers can use to develop and implement CBRN response plans. The final one is to establish a network of regional stakeholders that includes national, international, and academic experts committed to sharing experiences and improving coordination in the «day after» phase of a CBRN event. For the exercise taking place in Seychelles, participants will engage in scenario-based discussions that reflect the complexities of decision-making and response in real-world CBRN events. Morelli explained that in the Seychelles context, while there is a low probability of such an event happening, it will have a huge impact on the country. It is, therefore, very important for all government departments and agencies that are responsible for dealing with such matters to be well prepared. «They will have to know how to work together and make effective use of available resources and also to ensure that there is a clear understanding of the threat so that the response can be specific to it,» added Morelli. The CBRN National Team of Seychelles will after this workshop develop a National Action Plan, capturing the priority risks and the existing capacity gaps needed to address those risks. The CBRN Toolkit for policymakers is considered an effective tool to respond to those identified priorities and strengthen the country's capacity to prepare, prevent, and respond to CBRN incidents.
