Washington may have framed the Lobito Corridor as de-risking mineral supply chains from Chinese influence, but governments in Africa are prioritising a “handshake” with Beijing and other corridors to create a seamless transcontinental connection. The United States views the Lobito Corridor as a direct rival to the China-backed 1,860km (1,156-mile) Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (Tazara) that st...

Iraqi Father Arrested In Sweden For Beating, Imprisoning Daughter In Italy Over Forced Marriage Plot Authored by Thomas Brooke via ReMix , An Iraqi father accused of beating, imprisoning, and threatening to kill his daughter after she refused an arranged marriage has been arrested in Sweden on a European warrant issued by Italian authorities. The 52-year-old man was tracked down by Taranto State Police after the authorities in southern Italy opened an investigation into domestic abuse and forced marriage following a complaint from the young woman last November. As reported by Il Giornale , p rosecutors say the victim told officers her father had demanded she marry a Kurdish man selected by him and had threatened her with death if she resisted or tried to flee abroad. The woman had traveled from Iraq to join her family in Taranto, but investigators say she soon found herself trapped in what police described as a family campaign to force her into submission. According to the allegations, her relatives sided with her father because they believed she wanted to live in a way that was too “Western” and incompatible with their cultural expectations. When she refused to obey, her father allegedly held her captive inside an apartment in the southern Italian city and subjected her to violence that left her with injuries requiring 15 days to recover. Police also believe the pressure became so severe that the young woman was forced to give up work and began a life of isolation, fuelled by fear over her safety. The young woman gave evidence under protected arrangements before being moved to a secure facility, where she remains. Investigators later discovered the father had left Italy for Sweden. Swedish authorities arrested him on the European warrant issued after a precautionary detention order by a judge in Taranto. The case is the latest in a string of forced marriage scandals across Europe involving migrant families accused of using threats, violence, and isolation to contro...

Samsung Electronics Co. shares’ recent underperformance against SK Hynix Inc. may intensify as a looming workers’ strike weighs on South Korea’s most valuable company versus its rival chipmaker. Samsung’s shares gained as much as 4.8% to a record high on Monday, part of a global rally driven by continued investor optimism about artificial intelligence. That pales before SK Hynix’s 12% surge. The performance between the two memory chipmakers diverged last month, with Samsung lagging its peer by more than 25 percentage points. Samsung’s labor union staged a rally on April 23 to demand a greater share of AI-induced profits and threatened an 18-day strike starting May 21. The tussle between Samsung’s management and employees has prompted more analysts to raise concerns about the firm’s earnings prospects, especially after SK Hynix struck a landmark deal last year to raise its bonus payouts. Samsung’s labor dispute poses a challenge to its efforts to chart a comeback after falling behind SK Hynix in the lucrative business of high bandwidth memory chips. Read: SK Square Overtakes Hyundai Motor as Korea’s Third-Largest Stock “People are still bullish on AI-driven demand of high-bandwidth memory, but concerned of potential strike in Samsung,” said Stanley Tang , a senior portfolio manager at Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management Co. With shares of Taiwan’s MediaTek Inc. and ASE Technology Holding both up nearly 10%, “it is just Samsung lagging behind,” he said. Samsung’s labor union demanded 15% of operating profit handed to chip-division employees, with the threat of a 18-day walkout. It had rejected the management’s earlier offer that included allocating 10% of operating profit to bonuses and a 6.2% wage increase. Samsung “is addressing management-labor issues in accordance with laws and procedures and will continue to prioritize dialogue with the union to reach an amicable resolution,” its chief financial officer Park Sooncheol said on an earnings call last week. “Even in ...
