Zimbabwe bails out Botswana with truckloads of ARVs amid shortages hitting Gaborone

Zimbabwe has stepped in to help neighbouring Botswana with a consignment of anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs), sending a shipment that combines both a donation and a loan as Gaborone grapples with temporary shortages in its HIV treatment programme.

According to a statement from the Botswana Embassy in Harare, trucks carrying the life-saving medicines departed Zimbabwe earlier this week under a bilateral arrangement that includes 20% of the consignment as a donation and 80% as a loan to be reimbursed in ARVs.

“The government of the Republic of Zimbabwe extended a generous gesture to the Republic of Botswana through a loan facility, with 20% of the consignment as a donation and 80% provided as a loan to be reimbursed in the form of ARVs,” the Embassy of Botswana in Zimbabwe said.

The Committee to Protect Journalists earlier this week called on Senegalese authorities to immediately release two journalists arrested in an October 28-29, 2025, crackdown on two outlets — 7TV and RFM — that had broadcast interviews with a politician wanted by authorities. Three other journalists were also detained during the raid on RFM, but released the same day.

The journalists in custody as of October 29 were Maimouna Ndour Faye, owner of the private television channel 7TV, and Bamba Touré, a 7TV studio operator.

The signals of 7TV and TFM — RFM’s parent television channel, which aired the interview with the politician, Madiambal Diagne — were unavailable as of Wednesday, but their content was accessible online and via the private distributor Canal Plus, according to CPJ’s review.

“The raid by Senegalese authorities on 7TV and RFM and the arrest of five journalists is a direct attack on press freedom and the public’s right to be informed,” said Moussa Ngom, CPJ’s Francophone Africa representative. “Senegalese authorities must immediately release the two journalists still in custody — Maimouna Ndour Faye and Bamba Touré.”

US President Donald Trump conceded Wednesday that it was “pretty clear” the Constitution didn’t allow him to seek a third term as president, despite frequently floating the idea in recent months.

“If you read it, it’s pretty clear, I’m not allowed to run,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, adding that the “sad thing” is that he currently was enjoying high political support.

US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping met in South Korea to discuss the fate of the world’s biggest trade fight.

USA - The US President Donald Trump's nominee for a top federal position promoting international commerce has withdrawn his candidacy amid scrutiny of his role as a senior executive at a steel-trading business co-owned by one of Russia’s richest oligarchs, and his relations by marriage to a Russian family with extensive ties to the Kremlin.

Bryce McFerran spent most of the last decade as a senior executive at a Swiss subsidiary of Evraz PLC, a Russian steel group co-owned by billionaire Roman Abramovich, according to federal financial disclosures obtained by The Post.

McFerran’s father-in-law and brother-in-law, Sergei and Alexander Shatirov, hold senior positions at a Kremlin-backed investment fund, Russian corporate and property records show.

The United States will reduce the number of troops it has deployed to Eastern Europe, where NATO allies have sought to fortify their response to Russian aggression, U.S. and Romanian officials said on Wednesday.

The Pentagon is bringing home around 700 troops with the 101st Airborne Division who were deployed in Germany, Romania and Poland — NATO’s so-called Eastern Flank, U.S. military officials said, as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth looks to shift some of the American military’s focus toward domestic security, Latin America and Asia.

The U.S. Army command in Europe said in a statement that the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team will not be replaced after its scheduled rotation out of Eastern Europe, but sought to play down any sign of a shrinking U.S. commitment to the continent.
