Quick Glance: ANC's Support for Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula Indicates Lack of Seriousness in Anti-Corruption Efforts
  • The Speaker of the National Assembly, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, is facing pressure and receiving political support from the ANC despite facing arrest for alleged cash bribes during her tenure as Minister of Defence.

  • Mapisa-Nqakula has taken special leave and is attempting to prevent her arrest by demanding access to all investigation files, indicating a false assumption that she should receive special treatment.

  • Discussions regarding Mapisa-Nqakula's potential removal as Speaker are led politically, not legally, signaling that the ANC is not serious about combating corruption if they continue to show support for her.

  • The decision on whether Mapisa-Nqakula can remain as Speaker is seen as a political choice reflecting the values and principles of parties in Parliament, signaling whether the party is serious about rooting out corruption within its ranks.

Who are ISIS-K, the group that hit Russia? – DW – 03/25/2024
Quick Glance: The remarkable evolution of ISIS-K's leader into a formidable group
  • Sanaullah Ghafari, in his role as the leader of the Afghan branch of Islamic State, played a significant role in the transformation into an extremely menacing branch of the global Islamist network, capable of conducting operations far from their bases in the border regions of Afghanistan.

  • The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the massacre at a concert hall near Moscow that resulted in the deaths of at least 137 people. U.S. officials indicated that the Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), was responsible.

  • Ghafari has enhanced the group's strength through his firm ideology and notable attacks. He has made repeated attempts to target Russia in response to its involvement in the Syrian civil war, which contributed to defeating ISIS' regional operations.

  • By using high-profile attacks as a tool for recruitment, the group has focused on ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks in Central Asia. ISIS-K is planning to escalate its foreign operations, including attacks against the United States.
