This article is the second part of a three-part series. In the first part, we discussed the current state of intra-African trade, the AfCFTA and its importance, and highlighted businesses that have successfully leveraged regional integration in ASEAN.
Since the publication of the first part of this article, Nigeria has joined the CFTA. With Nigeria in the CFTA, Nigerian businesses have direct access to a market of over one billion people. Therefore, they must prepare to take advantage of the new markets that the AfCFTA grants access to. However, the Nigerian market is now directly open to intra-African competition from businesses in countries with comparative advantage.
In this part, we discuss the current state of trade in Nigeria, and highlight African countries with businesses with the capacity to compete with Nigerian businesses in the Processed Agriculture, Retail and Trade, and FMCG sectors.

Open global trade has had positive effects for African industrialization and development. This report looks at efforts to help African countries strengthen their trading capacity and take fuller advantage of the benefits that trade brings.
The report looks into the effects of COVID-19 on Africa, the latest trends in African trade and how the WTO is providing support through the WTO-led Aid for Trade initiative and in areas such as trade facilitation, compliance with regulatory standards for trade, and technical assistance. The report also looks into projects aimed at mainstreaming trade into the national development strategies of African countries.
Keeping markets open and fostering a favourable business environment will be critical to spur renewed investment in Africa and support the continent’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa.
It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho.
South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions.
Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world.
South Africa has the seventh-highest per capita income in Africa. However, poverty and inequality remain widespread, with about a quarter of the population unemployed and living on less than US$1.25 a day.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

In fact, in Batken prices for petroleum products were by 3-5 soms higher than in other regions. In neighboring Tajikistan in the border areas prices are higher by 15-20 soms for certain types of fuel, and close to the Afghan border, in Dushanbe, gasoline costs 30-35 soms more. Naturally, the fuel, which flows into the Batken region, partly exported to Tajikistan, resold. Those who have worked on this, with a liter had their 10-12 soms.

На самом деле в Баткене цены на ГСМ были на 3-5 сомов выше, чем в остальных регионах. В соседнем Таджикистане в приграничных районах цены выше на 15-20 сомов на отдельные виды топлива, а ближе к афганской границе, в Душанбе, бензин стоит на 30-35 сомов дороже. Естественно, ГСМ, которые поступали в Баткенскую область, частично вывозились в Таджикистан, перепродавались. Те, кто этим занимался, с литра имели свои 10-12 сомов.
The Fuel Case of NATO overcharged by £460m (700 million USD) for fuel during Afghan war
Ministry of Defense is Investigating:
Analytical Reasons for Increase and Decrease:
NATO is leaving
18.3 kilograms per hectare, which was 36% less than in 2014 (28.7 kilograms per hectare).
In 2012-2013-2014 (it increased by 36 Percent)
From Area under opium poppy cultivation decreased by 19%
Seized percentage is very low compared to the smuggled amount.
3,1% in 2006 (total 118 metric ton heroin smuggled to CA and only 3.1% seized = 3651 kg
UNODC estimated that in 2006, 118 metric tons of heroin were smuggled through Central Asia
via the “northern route”. Of the estimated amount smuggled, only a fraction (3.1 percent or
3,651.2 kg) was seized in Central Asia. Of this amount, Kazakh law enforcement agencies
seized 554.7 kg, Kyrgyz law enforcement agencies seized 260.8 kg, Turkmen law enforcement
agencies seized 201.1 kg and Uzbek law enforcement agencies seized 537.1 kg. Tajik
authorities, however, seized almost 4 times the amount of other Central Asian countries at
2,097.5 kg.

As a result of the large quantity of firearms in circulation, several states in theregion have become concerned about the trafficking in weapons into their territory.Kyrgyzstan is particularly worried about weapons coming into the country fromTajikistan. Some of these weapons move along the old Silk Road from Ishkashimthrough Gorno-Badakhshan via Khorog and Murghab to Osh. Another route runsfrom central Tajikistan to the Kyrgyz districts of Leilek and Batken and then to Oshand Bishkek.
