  Puebla Literature Festival Revokes South African Invitation After ‘Victimisation’ Of Nigerian-born Miss SA Contestant Chidimma.  We regret to announce the decision to rescind South Africa's designation as the Country-in-Focus for this year's festival, and to also rescind the invitation of our South African guests. This decision has been made after careful consideration of recent developments that have deeply troubled the African community. It is with a sense of sadness that we acknowledge the distressing events in South Africa, where the apparatuses of the state, coupled with the troubling silence of many within the cultural sphere, have enabled a climate of mob rule. This has led to the victimization of Chidimma Adetshina, her family, and members of immigrant communities in South Africa, thus undermining the very principles of justice, equality, and human dignity that literature seeks to uphold. The Puebla International literature Festival aims to position itself as a beaco...

 Somalia, Ethiopia to resume talks on port deal under Turkish mediation, Ankara says The foreign ministers of Somalia and Ethiopia will meet in Ankara next week to discuss disagreements over a port deal Addis Ababa signed with the breakaway region of Somaliland earlier this year, Turkey's foreign minister Hakan Fidan said, Reuters reported. Turkey is now mediating talks between the east African neighbours, whose ties became strained in January when Ethiopia agreed to lease 20 km (12 miles) of coastline from Somaliland, in exchange for recognition of its independence. Mogadishu called the agreement illegal and retaliated by expelling the Ethiopian ambassador and threatening to kick out thousands of Ethiopian troops stationed in the country helping battle Islamist insurgents. Somali and Ethiopian foreign ministers met in Ankara last month along with Fidan to discuss their disagreements, and agreed to hold another round of talks. At a news conference in Istanbul, Fidan said a second r...
