Morocco has rejected reasons put forward by Algeria in its decision to sever diplomatic relations with its North African neighbour.
Algerian Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra announced his country’s decision on Tuesday to cut all ties with Morocco for “hostile acts”.Algiers accused its neighbour of providing support to members of the MAK separatist movement, which is fighting for self-determination in the Kabylie region of Algeria.
MAK is believed to have started forest fires in Algeria, and is also accused of involvement in the killing of a man mistaken for an arsonist.In response, the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “Morocco rejects this unjustified decision.
The pretext is fallacious and absurd.”The Moroccan kingdom will however remain a credible and loyal to the Algerian people and will continue to act with wisdom.
“The Algerian foreign ministry had previously summoned the Moroccan ambassador over remarks the Moroccan envoy to the UN had made backing the separatist movement in Algeria. Rabat has not provided a response to Algiers questions.
This is believed to have exacerbated the row between the two country and led to Algeria severing all ties.Morocco has also been accused of using Israeli technology to spy on journalists and foreign officials, including Algerian military and political leaders.
The Moroccan government denies this. The already fractious relations between Algeria and Morocco over Western Sahara has worsened recently with Rabat re-establishing diplomatic relations with Israel.
Rwandan and Mozambican troops have reportedly encircled militants in Mozambique’s northern Cabo Delgado province ahead of a “last major military push” against the Islamic State-linked insurgents.
The forces are surrounding the militants in the areas of Siri I and Siri II. The military push comes barely four days after the joint forces seized Mbau – another key insurgent stronghold – after a fierce battle.
Military sources reported that more than 100 people were released from jihadist captivity, and dozens of militants were killed.On 8 August, the joint forces drove out insurgents from Mocimboa da Praia, a port city that had been the headquarters of the militants for more than three years.After fleeing the city, the insurgents moved further southwards into the thick forests of Mbau.
Siri I and Siri II are the insurgents only remaining major hideouts in Mocimboa da Praia.In July, Rwanda deployed 1,000 troops to Cabo Delgado at the request of Mozambique to help fight the jihadists, stabilise the area and restore the authority of the state

“We’ve lost two officers…the shooter has been killed.

The first group of 51 evacuees from Afghanistan has arrived in Uganda. The group
landed at Entebbe International Airport aboard a private chartered flight on Wednesday morning, Uganda’s foreign ministry said in a statement.The ministry says the group is transiting
through Uganda and will move on to the US and other countries.It is not clear for how long they will be hosted in Uganda.
The evacuees include men, women and children who have undergone Covid-19 testing and will go into quarantine, the statement says.
The evacuation followed the US government’s request to Uganda to take in some of the people fleeing the crisis in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover.Last week, a Ugandan junior government official told correspondents that Uganda was to take in 2,000 Afghan refugees at the request of the USgovernment.
But several senior officials later said discussions on the issue were still under way.Uganda hosts more than one million refugees who have fled several conflicts and other disasters across eastern Africa.
China will introduce the political ideology of President Xi Jinping in its national curriculum.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) in new guidelines, said “Xi Jinping thought” will help “teenagers establish Marxist beliefs”.
The ideology will be integrated from primary school up to university.
This is the latest effort by President Xi to consolidate the ruling Chinese Communist Party’s role in different areas of society.
In a statement, the MOE said it aimed to cultivate the builders and successors of socialism with an all-round moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic grounding.
The guidelines include labour education to cultivate their hard-working spirit and education on national security.
In 2018, China’s top body enshrined “Xi Jinping Thought” into the constitution.
Since then, it’s been introduced across some universities and amongst political youth wings holding extra-curricular activities and schools.
Previous Chinese leaders have come up with their own political ideologies which have been incorporated into the party’s constitution or thinking. But none, besides party founder Mao Zedong, have had their ideology described as “thought”, which is at the top of the hierarchy, and only Mao and Deng Xiaoping have had their names attached to their ideologies.

We all know good skin starts with a thorough cleanse, but sometimes no matter how thoroughly you scrub and lather up, it seems like you just can’t get all your makeup off. Most ladies have experienced this, despite the efforts, one is left wondering how to remove makeup completely. Dermatologists and makeup artists share some of their best tips for getting every last bit of makeup off our skin. Read on for pro tips to help you get a perfectly bare, makeup-free face.
Take your time.
When it comes to removing eye makeup in particular, the slower you go, the better. “Let the technology do the work,” says dermatologist Ranella Hirsch. “Apply makeup remover and let it sit, and sit some more. Give it a couple minutes, say, while you brush and floss.” This will soften mascara, liner, and shadow so it slips off easily and thoroughly once you finally wipe. “If you do this, you won’t find smudges under your eyes in the morning anymore,” Hirsch says. Giving remover time to work its magic also prevents you from having to rub/scrub with your makeup-remover pad—always a mistake, since friction can damage the delicate skin around your eyes, causing irritation and contributing to wrinkles.
Soap and water works better than makeup wipes.
Deep down you already knew makeup wipes sounded too good to be true, right? Wipes can be an excellent initial step in removing makeup—in fact, they’re best used to remove makeup before cleansing. But a proper sink session should ideally follow. “Many of us make the mistake of just using wipes and going to bed, but the makeup really is not all off—you still have to wash your face, ladies,” says makeup artist Azra Red, telling us what we don’t want to hear. “Using water and face wash is what’s really going to remove residue and prep your skin for a good night regimen. If you use only wipes and then apply moisturizer, you might push dirt into your pores and wake up with pimples or blackheads.”
Make sure to cleanse the edges of your eyelid.
If there’s one zone that’s frequently neglected during makeup removal, it’s the elusive edge of your eyelid, where liner and mascara can build up over time—and lead to eye irritation. Especially if you tight-line your eyes with waterproof liquid, you might need to get in there with a more targeted tool and make sure every last speck is gone. Using a cotton swab can be very effective. Makeup artist Nick Barose says “They break everything down so you don’t have to scrub, which results in lashes breaking off and falling out.” Speaking of lashes falling out, you also should never tug stubborn mascara chunks off with your fingers. To coax clumps off without doing harm, make sure you give your remover enough time to penetrate (recall tip #1), and then press down gently with a flat cotton pad, moving slowly in the direction your lashes grow, to slide the mascara off.
Push your hair back and cleanse your hairline.
We totally get it: When it’s past midnight and your pillow beckons, even an easy step like throwing your hair into a pony can feel like too much effort. But not doing so means you’re likely stopping a couple inches short of your hairline when washing your face. “People often accumulate makeup residue around their hairline, which leads to clogged pores and breakouts,” confirms celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas, noted. Take the two seconds to tie it back or you can slip on a terry headband to ensure you get off every trace of makeup.
Flat cotton pads are better than cotton balls.
“Cotton balls can leave behind residue or break down during usage and leave fibers on your lashes or skin,” says dermatologist Rebecca Kazin. That can lead to irritation at a time when you’re trying to detox and soothe. Always opt for flat cotton pads instead of balls, ideally with a quilted texture. Basic drugstore pads work pretty well, says makeup artist Fiona Stiles, but specialty versions can be worth it for serious makeup wearers.
Always follow up makeup removal with moisture.
Even if you don’t have dry skin, makeup removal should always be followed up with at least some targeted moisture: Use lip balm if you’ve just removed lipstick, and dab on eye cream “Removing makeup can dry out the eye area, which is the most sensitive skin on your face,” Kazin says. “You need to keep it soft and hydrated.”
There you have it! Amazing Professional tips to remove Makeup, you don’t want to go to bed having makeup residue on your face, follow these tips and you will be glad you did.

The U.N. World Food Programme (WFP), called for the international community to donate $200 million in food aid for Afghanistan, so essential supplies can be delivered to remote regions before winter.
