Real Madrid beat Atletico after bizarre penalty disallowed.

Thursday 12, March 2025 {HMC} Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez had a penalty dramatically ruled out in the shootout as Real Madrid edged out their city rivals to reach the quarter-finals.

They will face Arsenal in the last eight, having kept alive their hopes of winning a record-extending 16th Champions League trophy.

Neither side could find a winning goal before the end of extra time after Conor Gallagher’s strike – just 27 seconds into the game – had levelled the tie on aggregate after Real’s 2-1 first-leg win.

That meant penalties were needed to determine the outcome and, after the first three had been converted, former Manchester City forward Alvarez stepped up to take Atletico’s second.

He slipped while taking it, but the ball ended up in the back of the net. While it was initially given, the successful spot-kick was subsequently ruled out by the video assistant referee (VAR), with Alvarez having been deemed to have touched the ball twice as he struck his effort.

Fede Valverde converted his penalty to put Real 3-1 ahead and although Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak saved Lucas Vazquez’s spot-kick to briefly give Atletico hope, Marcos Llorente hit the bar.

Antonio Rudiger then stepped up to squeeze home the decisive penalty to send Real through by a 4-2 margin.

The outcome will be bitterly disappointing for Atletico after they had produced a brilliant defensive display for the majority of the match to limit Real to few chances.

They had made a dream start when England international Gallagher stabbed in following a rapid Atletico attack down the right, making history as the first Englishman to score in a Madrid derby.

Real could barely fashion a chance after that against a well-organised and disciplined home side, who had not lost a knockout tie at home since Ajax beat them in 1997.

At the other end, the lively Alvarez was denied three times by Thibaut Courtois.

Frenchman Kylian Mbappe had been kept largely quiet, but the one time he got free of his markers he burst through and won a penalty as he was brought down inside the box by Clement Lenglet.

Vinicius Jr, who had scored all of his previous seven penalties for Real, stepped up with the chance to put Real ahead in the tie once again with 20 minutes to go, but the Brazilian smashed his effort well over the bar.

There was nothing to separate the sides after that in a tense derby and Real, who beat Atletico in the 2014 and 2016 finals, maintained their 100% record against their fierce rivals in penalty shootouts to progress.

Kenya’s HIV patients, including children, on edge as US stops aid

Kenya’s HIV patients, including children, on edge as US stops aid

Thursday 12, March 2025 {HMC}The health clinic where Alice Okwirry collects her HIV medication in Kenya’s capital Nairobi has been rationing supplies of antiretrovirals to one-month refills since the U.S. government froze foreign aid.

On the outskirts of the city, meanwhile, millions of life-saving doses sit on the shelves of a warehouse, unused and unreachable.

The clinic is a half hour’s drive from the warehouse, but for Okwirry, they may as well be an ocean apart.

Without U.S. funding, distribution from the warehouse, which stocks all U.S. government-donated HIV medicine to Kenya, has ceased, leaving supplies of some drugs worryingly low, according to a former USAID official and a health official in Kenya.

The 90-day foreign aid freeze, ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump after taking office on January 20, has upended the global supply chain for medical products to fight HIV and other diseases. It is also blocking the distribution of drugs that long ago reached their destination countries.

“I was just seeing death now coming,” said 50-year-old Okwirry who was diagnosed with HIV in 2008 and has a 15-year-old daughter, Chichi, who is also HIV-positive.

Okwirry used to receive six-month supplies of ARVs from the clinic but now can only get one month.

“I told Chichi: what about if you hear the drugs are doomed?” Okwirry said, growing emotional. “She told me: Mom, I’ll be leaning on you.”

The State Department issued a waiver last month exempting funding for HIV treatment from the freeze.

But the USAID payments system in Kenya is down after the cuts, meaning contractors who implement the programmes cannot be paid, said Mackenzie Knowles-Coursin, who was the deputy head of communications for USAID, East Africa, until resigning on Feb. 3 in protest at the dismantling of the agency.

“Projects are left wondering: ‘Well, how am I going to resume activities if you’re not paying me money?” he said. “The waivers that have been given are really waivers on paper.”

In Kenya, officials in Washington have not authorised the release of money required to distribute the $34 million worth of medicine and equipment at the warehouse, he added.

According to a Kenyan government document seen by Reuters, about $10 million is needed for that distribution. The Mission for Essential Drugs and Supplies, the Christian charity that runs the warehouse, supplies drugs to some 2,000 clinics nationwide, its website says.

Knowles-Coursin told Reuters the commodities at the warehouse include 2.5 million bottles of ARVs, 750,000 HIV test kits and 500,000 malaria treatments.

USAID referred a request for comment to the State Department, which did not respond. The Mission for Essential Drugs and Supplies did not respond to requests for comment.

Kenya’s Health Minister, Deborah Barasa, said she expected her government to mobilise funds to allow the supplies at MEDS to be released within two to four weeks.

“We have identified the resources that are required,” she said in an interview.

‘FEAR AND ANXIETY’

Kenya has the seventh-largest number of people living with HIV in the world, at around 1.4 million, according to World Health Organization data. The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the main U.S. vehicle for funding HIV treatment, supplies some 40% of Kenya’s HIV drugs and supplies.

A health official in Kenya, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter, said stocks of two critical HIV treatments, Dolutegravir and Nevirapine, were low but did not know exactly how much remained nationwide.

Dolutegravir is often used to treat coinfections of HIV and tuberculosis. Nevirapine is often used to prevent mother-to-child transmission.

Barasa, the health minister, said there would be enough Dolutegravir to last five months and Nevirapine to last eight months once the MEDS stocks were released.

For the time being, some patients can only get refills of their ARVS for one week at a time, said Nelson Otwoma, director of the National Empowerment Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya.

Lawsuits aiming to compel the Trump administration to restore funding for humanitarian programmes and reinstate thousands of fired or furloughed USAID workers are working their way through U.S. courts.

On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration has cancelled more than 80% of all USAID programmes.

The Kenyan government’s council on syndemic diseases estimated in an internal brief last month, seen by the Reuters, that the U.S. cuts had created funding gaps of around $80 million.

Finance Minister John Mbadi told senators last week that the government was reviewing whether to allocate emergency funding to compensate for U.S. aid cuts before it delivers the 2025/26 budget in the coming months.

Trump says Putin will ‘hopefully’ agree to Ukraine ceasefire after Kyiv lends support

Thursday 13 March 2025 {HMC} US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he hopes Russia will sign on to a 30-day ceasefire that Ukraine lent its support to following a closely-watched summit with the US.

Trump hailed Ukraine’s acceptance of what he called a “total ceasefire” as a “big difference” from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Feb. 28 White House visit. He said that if Russia does not sign on to the truce “lots of people” would continue to die amid the Kremlin’s war on its eastern European neighbor, and former Soviet republic.

“Now we have to go to Russia and hopefully President Putin will agree to that also. And we can get this show on the road,” Trump told reporters at the White House, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Ukraine has agreed to it, and hopefully Russia will agree to it. We’re going to meet with them later on, today and tomorrow, and hopefully, we’ll be able to wipe out a deal. But I think the ceasefire is very important. If we can get Russia to do it, that’ll be great. If we can’t, we just keep going on, and people are going to get killed, lots of people,” he added.

Asked if Zelenskyy was invited back to the White House after the disastrous Oval Office feud in February, Trump said, “Sure. Absolutely.”

The president said he expects to speak with Putin this week about the ceasefire proposal, saying, “It takes two to tango.”

Trump’s White House sit-down with Zelenskyy devolved into repeated beratement of the Ukrainian leader by Trump and Vice President JD Vance who claimed the Ukrainian leader was disrespecting his hosts after Zelenskyy questioned whether Putin could be trusted as a negotiating partner.

Zelenskyy cited past agreements that the Russian leader repeatedly broke in the years leading up to the full-scale war he launched against Ukraine.

Trump has voiced varying levels of concern for Ukraine’s priorities in ending the conflict, and had already ruled out Kyiv’s membership in NATO, the transatlantic defensive alliance that Zelenskyy has sought to join. He also falsely accused Ukraine of starting Russia’s war.

Following the fracas, Zelenskyy abruptly departed the White House, leaving a critical minerals deal with the US unsigned, and he canceled a planned joint news conference with Trump.

Dowlada Itoobiya oo soo iibsatay lix markab xilli ay bad ka raadineyso Soomaaliya

Dowlada Itoobiya oo soo iibsatay lix markab xilli ay bad ka raadineyso Soomaaliya

Arbaco 12, March 2025 {HMC}– Shirkadda Ethiopian Shipping and Logistics Services Enterprise (ESL) ayaa Isniintii xaqiijisay in Ethiopia ay dalbatay lix markab oo cusub oo ganacsi, si ay u ballaariso awooddeeda ganacsi, korna ugu qaaddo dadaallada ay ku doonayso inay ku xoojiso dhaqaalaha iyo marin toos ah oo badeed.

Sida ay baahisay warbaahinta dowladda ee Fana Broadcasting Corporation, laba ka mid ah maraakiibta la keenay—oo ah Ultramax dry bulk carriers oo mid kastaa qaadi karo 62,000 oo tan—ayaa durba la wareegay howlgalkooda.

Maraakiibta kale ee la filayo in la keeno sanadka soo socda waxaa ka mid ah kuwa xambaara konteenarrada (ETUs) oo qaadi kara inta u dhaxaysa 3,000 illaa 4,000 oo konteenar safarkiiba.

Ethiopia, oo ah dal aan bad lahayn, ayaa in ka badan 90% ganacsigeeda ku tiirsan yahay Jabuuti. Xilligan, dalka waxa uu leeyahay 10 markab oo ganacsi, oo ay ku jirto Abay II, markab xamuul oo qaadi kara 63,000 oo tan.

Mas’uuliyiinta Ethiopia ayaa sheegaya in kordhinta maraakiibta ay hoos u dhigi doonto kharashaadka saadka, isla markaana ay hagaajin doonto hufnaanta ganacsiga ee dhaqaalaha shanaad ee ugu weyn Afrika.

Dadaal lagu raadinayo bad
Iibsashada maraakiibta cusub waxay kusoo beegmaysaa xilli Ethiopia ay dadaal xooggan ugu jirto inay hesho marin badeed, iyadoo Ra’iisul Wasaare Abiy Ahmed si cad u sheegay in Ethiopia ay “u baahan tahay marin toos ah oo badeed.”

Bishii Janaayo 2024, Ethiopia iyo maamulka Somaliland waxay kala saxiixdeen heshiis is-afgarad (MoU) oo muran dhaliyay, kaas oo dhigaya in Ethiopia ay Somaliland u aqoonsato dal madax-bannaan, iyada oo beddelkeedana la siinayo 20 kiiloomitir oo xeeb ah muddo 50 sano ah.

Heshiiskaas, oo Ethiopia u ogolaanaya inay horumariso saldhig ciidan iyo deked ganacsi, ayaa markiiba waxaa si adag u diiday dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya, oo Somaliland u aragta qayb ka mid ah dhulkeeda.

Mogadishu ayaa tan iyo markaas qaaday tallaabooyin diblomaasiyadeed oo ay taageero uga heshay Jaamacadda Carabta, Midowga Afrika, iyo xulufo goboleedyo muhiim ah si ay uga hortagto heshiiska.

Mas’uuliyiinta Soomaaliya ayaa mar kale ku celiyay in wax wada-hadal ah oo ku saabsan marin badeed ay tahay in si toos ah loola yeesho dowladda federaalka, halkii laga dhex-marin lahaa Somaliland.

Turkiga ayaa dhex-dhexaadiyey labada dhinac, iyadoo heshiiskii Ankara Declaration uu saldhig u noqonayo wada-hadallo mustaqbalka ah oo u dhexeeya Ethiopia iyo Soomaaliya si ay uga heshiiyaan arrimaha ganacsiga badda.

Dowlada Federalka oo jawaab ka bixisay Bayaankii xildhibaannada Mucaaradka

Arbaco 12, March 2025 {HMC} – Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa si yaab leh ugu jawaabtay bayaankii maanta kasoo baxay xildhibaannada mucaaradka oo shir jaraa’id ku qabtay magaalada Muqdisho.

Xildhibaannadan ayaa Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya, Xasan Sheekh ugu baaqay inuu is-casilo, maadaama uu dalka ku jiro marxalad halis ah, sidaas darteedna loo baahan yahay in dowladnimada la badbaadiyo, sida ay sheegeen.

Xildhibaannadu waxay sheegeen inay qaadi doonaan tallaabooyin culus oo ka dhan ah xukuumadda Soomaaliya, taasoo ay ku eedeeyeen inay laashay dastuurka dalka, islamarkaana ay ku fashilantay waajibaadkii loo igmaday.

Jawaabta Dowladda
Wasiir Ku-xigeenka Wasaaradda Warfaafinta Soomaaliya, Cabdiraxmaan Yuusuf Al-Cadaala oo u jawaabay xildhibaannada mucaaradka, ayaa weerar culus ku qaaday, isagoo ku tilmaamay “Af Khawaarij,” oo sida muuqata ula jeeday inay xubnahan yihiin “Shabaab kalkaal.”

“Afhayeenada Khawaarijta kuwaba maalin ayay ku qoran yihiin, balse waa isku ajande, magacooduna waa Af-Khawaarij,” ayuu Al-Cadaala ku yiri qoraal uu soo dhigay bartiisa Facebook.

Waxa uu intaas ku sii daray: “Kuwa ku qornaa kaltanka maanta miyaa yiri aan buuqno si culaysku uga yaraado Khawaarijta duurka ku go’doonsan?”

Inkasta oo Al-Cadaala uu iska indho tiray eedeymaha ku xusnaa bayaankii maanta kasoo baxay xildhibaannada mucaaradka, haddana waa jawaab lama filaan ah, maadaama xildhibaannadu ugu baaqeen bulshada Soomaaliyeed inay u midoobaan dagaalka ka dhanka ah kooxaha argagixisada.

Madaxda Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa muddooyinkii dambe lasoo warinayay inay si weyn u dhibsadeen dhaliilaha uga imaanaya mucaaradka, kuwaas oo waayahan dambe culeys saaray.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, dhaqanka noocaan ah ayaa kusoo badanaya siyaasadda Soomaaliya, kaasoo loo arko mid halis ah, maadaama koox walba tan ka aragtida duwan ku shaanbadeyso “Shabaabnimo,” xilli dalka uu ku jiro dagaal lagu ciribtirayo kooxdan baneysatay dhiigga umadda Soomaaliyeed ee Muslimka ah.

Taliska Ciidanka Nabad sugida oo Sheegay in Duqeeymo Lagu Dilay Xubno AS uqaabilsanaa Qaraxyada

Arbaco 12, March 2025 {HMC} Taliska ciidanka nabad sugida iyo Sirdoonka qaranka ee NISA ayaa sheegay inay duqeyn ku dileen Horjoogayaashii Qaraxyada u qaabilsanaa Al shabaab

Howlgalkan ayaa ka dhacay degaanka Jambaluul ee goboilka Sh/hoose waxaana qoraal ka soo baxay NISA lagu sheegay magacyada sadex horjooge iyo ilaaladooda oo duqeyntaas lagu qaarajiyey.

Dhinaca Kale Ugu yaraan 50 xubnood oo ka tirsan Al-Shabaab ayaa lagu dilay howlgal duqeyn ah oo laga fuliyay deegaanka Damasha Shabeelow ee gobolka Shabeellaha Dhexe, sida uu sheegay Taliska Ciidanka Xoogga Dalka Soomaaliyeed (CXDS).

Sida lagu sheegay war-saxaafadeed ka soo baxay taliska, howlgalka oo si qorsheysan u dhacay, ayaa lagu beegsaday xubno sare oo ka tirsan kooxda, waxaana lagu dilay Mansoor Timo-Weyne, oo ahaa horjoogihii kooxda u qaabilsanaa isku-diyaarinta iyo adeegsiga gawaarida dagaalka.

“Howlgalkan wuxuu bartilmaameedkiisu ahaa xubno muhiim u ah kooxdan, gaar ahaan Mansoor Timo-Weyne, oo dhowaan ka yimid Buulo Fulay isaga oo waday gaadiid la dayactiray, kuwaas oo kooxda ay u adeegsan jirtay weerarrada argagixisada,” ayaa lagu yiri bayaanka kasoo baxay CXDS.

Sida lagu sheegay bayaanka, intii uu socday howlgalka waxaa la burburiyay saddex gaari oo dagaal, kuwaas oo midkood loo adeegsaday weerarrada ay kooxda ka fuliso gobollada Shabeellaha Dhexe iyo Shabeellaha Hoose.

“Duqeyntan waxay qeyb ka tahay dadaallada ballaaran ee lagu wiiqayo awoodda dagaal ee Al-Shabaab, si looga hortago weerarradooda,” ayaa lagu yiri war-saxaafadeedka.

Weerarkan ayaa imanaya maalin kadib markii Hay’adda Sirdoonka iyo Nabadsugidda Qaranka (NISA) ay sheegtay in howlgal qorsheysan oo ka dhacay aagga deegaanka Basro ee gobolka Shabeellaha Hoose lagu dilay maleeshiyaad ka tirsanaa kooxda Al-Shabaab.

“Howlgalkan oo labo jeer oo kala duwan lagu beegsaday Khawaarijta, waxa uu guuleystay in lagu soo afjaro nolosha 16 xubnood oo isugu jiray horjoogeyaal iyo maleeshiyaad,” ayaa lagu yiri bayaanka NISA.

Sida ay hay’addu sheegtay, xubnahaas ayaa maalmihii lasoo dhaafay ku go’doonsanaa dhul hawd ah oo ku dhow deegaanka Basro.

Howlgallada ka dhanka ah Al-Shabaab ayaa toddobaadyadii tegay ka sii xoogeysanayey gobolka Shabeellaha Dhexe, halkaas oo kooxda Al-Shabaab ay ku soo qaadeen duullaan xooggan.

Dagaallo ciidamada dowladda, oo kaashanaya kuwa deegaanka, iyo Al-Shabaab ku dhex-maray Shabeellaha Dhexe ayaa dhaliyey khasaare naf oo xooggan.
