 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

ETHIOPIA’S SPY CHIEF VISITS SOMALIA AMID HORN OF AFRICA TENSIONS: REPORT. (PHOTO).


 Ethiopia’s spy chief visits Somalia amid Horn of Africa tensions: Report


Ethiopia’s intelligence chief Redwan Hussein made an unannounced visit to Somalia, where he met with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, amid heightened tensions in the Horn of Africa, Somali media reported.


Hussein met Mohamud at the presidential palace, Villa Somalia, to deliver a message from Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, though the contents were not made public, according to Somali local media.


He also held talks with Mahad Salad, head of Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency, at the agency’s headquarters, Anadolu Agency reported.


Neither the Ethiopian nor Somali governments issued an official statement on the visit or disclosed details of the meetings.


The visit comes against the backdrop of renewed regional tensions following Israel’s announcement on December 26 recognising Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, a move that made Tel Aviv the only country in the world to formally recognise the breakaway region.


Ankara declaration


Somaliland has operated as a de facto self-governing entity since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991, but it has not received international recognition as a sovereign state.


Israel’s decision drew sharp criticism internationally, with opponents describing it as illegal and a threat to international peace and security.


In January 2024, Ethiopia sought new maritime access options by signing a deal with Somaliland to use the port of Berbera, prompting Somalia to accuse Addis Ababa of violating its sovereignty.


Türkiye later mediated talks between Somalia and Ethiopia, resulting in the Ankara Declaration in December 2024.


Under the agreement, both sides committed to working toward bilateral arrangements that would allow Ethiopia access to the sea under Somali sovereign authority.
