Lee and Chow were also leaders of the now-defunct Hong Kong Alliance (HKA).The HKA was founded in May 1989 to support students holding pro-democracy rallies. Weeks later, the Communist Party crushed pro-democracy protests in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square with troops and tanks. Estimates of the death toll range from a few hundred to many thousands.Over the next three decades, HKA called on authorities to accept responsibility for the crackdown, free dissidents and introduce democratic reform.The Alliance’s leaders were charged in 2021 and have been behind bars since.Rights group Amnesty International has said the case “relies on vague, overly broad and arbitrary…
Hume also called for ministers to “really look at what happens when fire gets close to a piece of critical national infrastructure”.Last summer’s wildfire burned near to RAF Fylingdales, part of the UK and US ballistic missile warning system.She said she had visited the site this week and spoke to staff who “can’t just turn the radar off and leave”.”It was quite sobering to hear how worried they were as the fire got closer.”Last month, a wildfire in Suffolk was about 3 miles (5km) from the Sizewell B nuclear power station.Hume said such situations should automatically trigger national resilience, when…
Egypt’s response to Ethiopia’s new Nile dam plans is centred on diplomacy, international pressure and cooperation with Sudan, rather than trying to stop construction outright. However, the experience of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) has exposed the limits of Cairo’s influence.The revival of three proposed Blue Nile hydropower projects – Karadobi, Mandaya and Beko Abo – will test whether Egypt can turn more than a decade of opposition into practical leverage over how Ethiopia develops the river.The projects have been discussed for years. A 2024 academic study drawing on Nile Basin Initiative-sponsored work listed all three among proposed Blue…

Internal power struggles, factionalism, insistence that power rotates through the regions and disciplinary measures have all added to the sense of disillusionment within the party.The PDP has been robbed of high-profile figures and talent, including the loss of former Vice-President Atiku Aubakar last year.The crisis was intensified by a debilitating leadership tussle.In November 2025, a faction of the party, which observers say represented the majority of members, held a contentious national convention in Ibadan, Oyo state, despite court orders attempting to stop it.The convention expelled Nyesom Wike, a prominent PDP member who is serving in President Bola Tinubu’s APC-led government.Wike,…
