Mozambique has approved Africa's largest mangrove restoration project with 200 million trees to be planted over 60 years, the developer which bagged the licence said on Thursday. Gulf-based Blue Forest said it would start work in November, adding it had obtained the licence after around two-and-a-half years of feasibility studies. «We will start planting the first of the 200 million mangroves in Quelimane, Zambezia, this November, in line with the start of the rainy season in Mozambique,» Blue Forest founder and CEO Vahid Fotuhi told AFP. The project aims to cover an area spanning 155,000 hectares (over 383,000 acres), or twice the size of Singapore, he said. The trees will restore Mozambique's degraded coastline and create around 5,000 forestry jobs, Fotuhi added. Mangroves are one of the world’s most efficient plants at capturing carbon dioxide and their tangled roots stabilise coastlines and reduce erosion, also providing shelter for fish and other creatures. Mozambique has an extensive mangrove ecosystem which has been damaged by cyclones and flooding as well as logging and clearing. Over its 60-year lifespan, the MozBlue project is expected to remove about 20.4 million tons of CO2, contributing to efforts to mitigate climate change, Fotuhi said. © Agence France-Presse
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday urged both Israel and Hamas to finalize a Gaza truce, standing by US assessments that 90 percent of a deal was ready. Blinken said that the United States would be offering further ideas in coming days through mediators Egypt and Qatar in hopes of sealing an agreement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with Fox News on Thursday denied a US official's assessment that 90 percent of a deal was ready, saying «it's not close.» But Blinken repeated the assessment at a news conference during a visit to Haiti, saying, «I think based on what I've seen, 90 percent is agreed.» «It's really incumbent on both parties to get to yes on these remaining issues,» Blinken said. «As close as I believe we are to getting a ceasefire agreement, every day that goes by where it is not finalized and the parties don't say, 'yes, period,' is a day in which something else happens, and there is an intervening event which simply pushes things off and runs the risk of derailing what is a pretty fragile apple cart,» he said. The United States in recent weeks has pushed a proposal to bridge gaps between both sides, which include disagreements over Netanyahu's insistence on leaving some Israeli troops on the border between Gaza and Egypt. Blinken said he believed that Netanyahu, who has put a top priority on normalizing diplomatic relations with Arab states, could still reach a historic deal with Saudi Arabia, the guardian of Islam's two holiest shrines. Blinken did not rule out an agreement before Biden leaves office in January. «I think if we can get a ceasefire in Gaza, there remains an opportunity through the balance of this administration to move forward on normalization,» he said. © Agence France-Presse
A new centre, the Affiliate Youth Leadership Space, has opened in Seychelles' capital, Victoria, to help Seychellois youth develop their abilities. The centre, an initiative of the United States Embassy in collaboration with the Seychelles National Youth Council (SNYC), opened on Friday. In his address, American Ambassador to Seychelles and Mauritius, Henry Jardine, explained that the centre aims to be «a dynamic hub whether you are seeking resources from the U.S., sparking new ideas or developing the skills to become tomorrow's leaders.» Young people visiting the space will benefit from educational and cultural programmes, which Jardine said, «Are building bridges between Seychelles and the United States, bringing our nations closer together and creating a brighter future for all.» The U.S. Embassy and SNYC have been working on the project for the past couple of months, evaluating various factors such as its location, the number of youths that visit the SNYC building as well the services the Council offers them. The chief executive of the Council, Albert Duncan, described the space programme as one that makes everything possible. He appealed to young people in the country «to visit the space as we have an internet connection, we will be running programmes here soon and you are welcome to come and use the available resources.» The Affiliate Youth Leadership Space in Seychelles is open from 8 am to 4 pm daily with the possibility of staying open for longer if talks are being held there. Duncan explained that the programmes will be up to the standards that the U.S. requires in areas that will include cultural exchanges and technology. Based at the SNYC offices at the SACOS Tower in Victoria, next to the central bus station, Jardine said that the location was very convenient for youngsters to pay a visit. «This way if the youths are arriving in the morning or going home in the evening they can come here and spend time and relax with friends. It is great that it is another space where they can be young and learning and talking to people and exchanging ideas and if they have some spare time, they can come into that space,» he said. In addition to providing a space where youth and others can have a very positive experience, Jardine said it was also «part of our outreach to the youth in the Seychelles community.» He explained that the U.S. had 700 of these spaces in 145 other countries where it has a presence to do public diplomacy and outreach and «where we bring people together through programmes and speakers and other activities that are in the community.» Meanwhile, youngsters wishing to take part in any activities or programmes being held in the space will have to closely follow SYNC's social media platforms where they will be advertised.
