Imo Guber: Immutable Facts And Idle Talks

December 16, 2019 7:18 am

Oftentimes, we unwittingly help others to make their case for them when we set out to attack them from a foundation of cheap lies and blackmail. This is what the lumbering attempt by one Ossai Ukwu to turn the facts upside down(see Daily Sun newspaper, Wednesday, December 11, p16) in the election petition case of Sen. Hope Uzodinma against Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha turned out to be.

From the title of the write up,  “Imo election petitions: Blackmail won’t work,” it was as though Ukwu was unwittingly admonishing himself, for while he tried without success to turn around Uzodinma’s …

UN Climate Talks A ‘Lost Opportunity’, Says Guterres

December 15, 2019 3:11 pm

A major climate summit wrapped up in Madrid Sunday with a compromise deal that left little to show, prompting UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to lament a “lost opportunity” to act.

Almost a fortnight of COP25 talks just squeezed out hard-earned compromises from countries over a global warming battle plan that fell well short of what science says is needed to tackle the climate crisis.

“I am disappointed with the results of COP25,” Guterres said. “The international community lost an important opportunity to show increased ambition on mitigation, adaptation and finance to tackle the climate crisis.”

The summit’s final declaration “expresses …

Russia’s Top Diplomat Opens US Talks Amid Impeachment

December 10, 2019 3:33 pm

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday opened a visit to Washington in which he will meet Donald Trump, the very day when Democrats unveiled impeachment charges against the president.

The timing marks a redux of the veteran Russian diplomat’s last visit to Washington in May 2017, when Trump was fighting off allegations that he cooperated with Russia and was accused of sharing classified information with Lavrov.

Lavrov began the day of talks by meeting with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said the Trump administration was determined to pursue its work despite the politics at home.

“We didn’t …

US Resumes Talks With Taliban In Doha

December 7, 2019 2:05 pm

Washington resumed talks with the Taliban in Qatar Saturday, both sides said, three months after President Donald Trump abruptly halted diplomatic efforts that could end America’s longest war.

In September, the United States and the Taliban had appeared on the verge of signing a deal that would have seen Washington begin withdrawing thousands of troops in return for security guarantees.

It was also expected to pave the way towards direct talks between the Taliban and the government in Kabul and, ultimately, a possible peace agreement after more than 18 years of war.

But that same month, Trump abruptly called …

The fact that the warring sides agreed to sit down face to face for the first time after nearly nine years of conflict “is a powerful sign of hope for Syrians everywhere,” Pedersen told the 150 delegates.
