Le Président Abdoulaye Wade a cent ans aujourd'hui. La République du Sénégal, elle, n'en a pas encore soixante-dix - et découvre qu'elle est plus jeune que l'homme dont la vie se confond avec la sienne. Il l'a vue naître, et il a aidé à la faire grandir.

Au nom de la Nation tout entière, je souhaite au Président Abdoulaye Wade un centenaire de paix, de sérénité et de lumière, et je prie Dieu de nous le laisser longtemps encore.
Jërëjëf, Président Wade.

هل تعـلم...؟! ان هـذا الذي يفتـرش الارض الان وسـط الحجيح هو الدكتـور الحسن عبدالرحمن واتـارا رئـيس دولة سـاحل العاج🇨🇮
ذهـب لاداء المنـاسك الحج على نفقـته الخاصة، وأعتـذر للديوان المـلكي #السعودي عن قبـوله الإقامة بقـصر ملكي حسـب التقاليد البـروتوكولية.
السـؤال ... أين حراسـته؟
لم يـاتِِ بحراسة .
الحسـن منذ تولـيه حكم ساحـل العاج
إستقـرت دولته أمـنيآ وسياسيآ واقتـصاديآ وبخلال عـام إرتفع دخـل الفرد فيـها إلى 5 ألف دولار سنـوياً
حكم فعـدل ، فأمن فنـام.؛
وتداولـت صحف العـالم هذه الصـورة المشرفة لعـبدِِ من عـباد الله المخلصـين
ربي يتقـبل منه..و وفقـه الله لكل خـير

“So who’s going to bowl to him?” asked captain David Gower, calmly sipping his tea. No one volunteered. The room fell silent, eyes lowered, each player hoping someone else would take the responsibility.

Finally, Ian Botham stepped forward. It was not exactly an act of bravery - he was just two wickets away from overtaking Dennis Lillee as the world’s leading Test wicket taker. Botham asked John Emburey to bowl from the other end. As they walked out to the middle, Emburey turned to Gower and said, “If this shit doesn’t work, don’t just blame me. And whatever runs I concede, count them as runs conceded by all the bowlers combined.”

England had arrived in Antigua after suffering four consecutive defeats against West Indies. The first and fourth Tests had ended inside three days, and the third inside four. Desperate to avoid a humiliating whitewash, England were now hoping at least to salvage a draw in the fifth Test. Three days had already passed with England still batting their first innings, and everything seemed perfectly set for a draw. But one man stood firmly in their way, Viv Richards.

Before tea on the fourth day, Richards was already 28 from just 20 balls, having casually launched two effortless sixes. When play resumed, he continued exactly where he had left off.

Botham and Emburey tried everything they could. Botham peppered the pitch with bouncers, but Richards hooked them with disdainful ease. The assault was relentless. Years later, Emburey recalled the chaos of that spell, “One ball smashed a bottle of rum in the stands and came back with shards of glass stitched into it. Another sailed out of the stadium and landed near the prison where Richards’ father worked. Before Viv came in, my figures were 9-0-14-1. Five overs later, they read 14-0-83-1.”

Richards eventually brought up his century in just 56 balls, a record that stood for nearly three decades. England, meanwhile, were crushed by 240 runs.

Take any modern day T20 hitter and multiply his ability by 10. Even then, he would still be miles behind Viv Richards.

Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards turns 74 today ❤️

Ghana to send soldiers to help rebuild storm-ravaged Jamaica

Ghana is sending soldiers from the 48 Engineers Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces to help rebuild areas in Jamaica devastated by a recent hurricane.

President John Mahama made this announcement during the 80th anniversary of the Manchester Declaration in Accra, appealing to African nations to extend humanitarian aid to Jamaica and Cuba.

The team will include experts in engineering, masonry, and carpentry to help construct makeshift shelters for displaced citizens. Ghana has already sent aid, including rice, medication, and blankets, to support relief efforts.
