 “No electricity, no vote,” South Africans threaten to shun ruling party ANC Residents in Katlehong, a township outside Johannesburg, have resolved to boycott South Africa's upcoming local elections on November 4 due to long-standing failures by authorities to provide basic services like electricity. For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity. Our children cannot progress without electricity." "I was born ANC, but today I do not want anyone to tell me about the ANC because I am suffering," added 57-year-old resid...

 Trump announces Hamas disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawal agreement under Gaza ceasefire plan

  President Donald Trump announced Thursday that Hamas has agreed to a plan to disarm and that Israel will withdraw its forces from Gaza as part of a U.S.-backed ceasefire framework.

Trump described the agreement as a major step toward creating a new Palestinian government in Gaza that would work with the newly established Board of Peace to oversee the next stages of the plan.

The president said the agreement would also provide Israel with increased security by preventing Gaza from being used as a launching point for future attacks.

Details of the agreement were limited, and neither Israel nor Hamas immediately released statements responding to Trump’s announcement.

The Board of Peace said Hamas had agreed to a roadmap for moving forward with the next phases of the ceasefire after months of negotiations. The group said the plan includes Hamas giving up its weapons, followed by an Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza.

Trump said the process would happen in phases, with Israeli forces pulling back after disarmament efforts are completed. An international stabilization force would then work alongside a new Palestinian police force to maintain security in Gaza.

The president credited mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey for helping advance the agreement.

The broader 20-point peace plan unveiled last year helped establish a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and included the exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. The proposal calls for Hamas to dismantle its military capabilities, including its tunnel network, give up control of Gaza and allow a new technocratic Palestinian administration to govern the territory.

Earlier this month, Hamas announced it had dissolved its governing structure in Gaza to help establish a new administrative committee as part of the next phase of the plan.

The conflict began after Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing more than 1,200 people and taking hundreds of hostages. Israel launched a major military campaign in Gaza in response, resulting in tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths and a severe humanitarian crisis throughout the territory.
