 SDP PARLEYS MEDIA AHEAD OF 2027 GENERAL ELECTIONS  The Social Democratic Party, SDP has disassociated itself from those calling for the rescheduling of the 2027 general elections due to the confirmed case of Ebola in Nigeria. A statement by the Presidential candidate of the Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo indicates that just one case of the disease recorded is not enough to cancel or reschedule the election that is already at hand, as the situation is not yet a pandemic. He explains that the country has the ability to take care of the situation. The statement further encourages the media to be as independent and unbiased as possible in reporting the forthcoming general election. It emphasises the media's role in sustaining democratic governance in the country. The SDP Presidential candidate encourages media practitioners to get acquainted with the party's manifesto and enlighten the public adequately, enabling them to actively engage the party during campaigns.

 Amazon suspends engineer over protest of work with Israeli government


Amazon has suspended a software engineer after he protested the company’s work with the Israeli government.

Ahmed Shahrour, a Palestinian engineer based in Seattle who works for Amazon’s Whole Foods division, was informed Monday that he was being suspended with pay “until further notice” after posting messages on internal Slack channels criticizing the company’s ties to Israel.

An Amazon human resources representative told Shahrour that his posts “may violate multiple policies” and said the company was investigating the matter. Shahrour had also sent a letter to Amazon executives, including CEO Andy Jassy, urging the company to end Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion cloud computing contract with the Israeli government that provides AI tools, data centers, and other infrastructure.

“Every day I write code at Whole Foods, I remember my brothers and sisters in Gaza being starved by Israel’s man-made blockade,” Shahrour wrote in the letter. “I live in a state of constant dissonance: maintaining the tools that make this company profit, while my people are burned and starved with the help of that very profit. I am left with no choice but to resist directly.”

Amazon spokesperson Brad Glasser said the company does not tolerate “discrimination, harassment, or threatening behavior or language of any kind” and investigates reported conduct, taking action based on findings. The company did not comment on the contract with Israel or policies for moderating internal employee posts.

As part of the suspension, Shahrour’s access to company email and tools was revoked, and his Slack posts were removed. He said Amazon did not specify which policies he had violated. The letter also claims Amazon has taken steps to “silence” pro-Palestinian employees, citing warnings and past terminations. Posts discussing Gaza in the “Arabs at Amazon” Slack channel have been deleted, while other posts critical of Palestinians remain.

Shahrour’s suspension follows a broader trend of tech workers at companies including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Palantir speaking out against corporate involvement with the Israeli military. Previous incidents have included protests at company headquarters, employee terminations, and tighter security at conferences after an uptick in employee activism.
