Guinea security forces tear gas opposition rally

Posted:

Guinean security forces used tear gas and truncheons to break up a rally of more than a thousand opposition supporters in the capital highlighting deepening tensions over upcoming legislative elections. Clashes broke out on Saturday in Guinea s capital Conakry during an opposition rally ahead of polls. Security forces used tear gas and truncheons to break up the march, according to opposition and government officials. Several people were lightly injured and others arrested during the violence which underscores growing unease in the West African country since President Alpha Conde came to power in hotly contested polls in late 2010. "They objected to our meeting and they arrested people, even though we had completed all the necessary administrative procedures," said Aboubacar Sylla, a spokesman for the two main opposition coalition groups LPCP and ADP. The opposition had called the rally to protest what it says is the unfair handling of the forthcoming legislative elections - polls meant to complete Guinea s transition from military rule and unblock millions of dollars in foreign aid. A junta ran Guinea, the world s top supplier of bauxite, for nearly two years prior to Conde s election, but subsequent parliamentary elections have been repeatedly delayed by political infighting.

Asia Cup: Pakistan to face arch rival India today

Posted:

The two Asian giants will clash in a match of Asia Cup in Mirpur, Bangladesh today. Stung by the upset defeat against minnows Bangladesh, India will be under immense pressure when they go into their must-win last Asia Cup league match against arch-rivals Pakistan, also tournament’s favourite, on Sunday with bowling in the slog overs continuing to be a big worry. The Indians have no option but to put it across their traditional rivals to stay alive in the tournament as the shock defeat against Bangladesh has thrown their campaign into jeopardy. The stunning defeat against Bangladesh would have certainly hurt the Indians, especially Sachin Tendulkar whose phenomenal feat of scoring the 100th international ton went in vain. But they have to regroup quickly and put the debacle behind them. Pakistan, on the other hand, have already secured a berth in the final with victories over Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and will be under less pressure unlike the Indians.

Majola banned for one year over bonus scam

Posted:

He has been suspended pending a disciplinary hearing in the latest fall-out from a $600,000 bonus scandal. The unanimous move to ban the 52-year-old official on full pay was made by the CSA board of directors at a meeting in a hotel close to OR Tambo international airport in eastern Johannesburg. Acting president AK Khan and audit and risks committee chairman John Blair resigned three days ago and CSA brand and corporate relations manager Kass Naidoo stepped down a few hours before the Majola announcement. A government-initiated inquiry headed by retired judge Chris Nicholson last week recommended prosecutors open a case against Majola over a scandal that has dogged the national cricket body for several years. Companies have been reluctant to sponsor the national team and tournaments, and sports minister Fikile Mbalula said Friday that CSA needed fresh leadership to create "a new era of hope and clean governance". Majola and former chief finanical officer Don McIntosh were the alleged main benefactors of secret bonuses paid to CSA employees after South Africa staged the 2009 Indian Premier League (IPL) and ICC Champions Trophy. The IPL tournament dates clashed with those of elections in India three years ago, raising security concerns and forcing the Twenty20 event to be switched to South Africa.
