EU electricity consumption could hit 20-year low

The bloc’s industry has been hammered by rising power costs since Brussels sanctioned Russia A high voltage power line in Verfeil, France, December 6, 2022 © AFP / Lionel Bonaventure Demand for electricity in the European Union will fall by 3% this year to its lowest level in two decades, the International Energy Agency predicted in a report on Thursday.

Combined with last year’s 3% fall in demand, the slump is now the largest in EU history, bringing the bloc’s electricity consumption back to levels not seen since 2002, the report stated. Two thirds of the reduction came from energy-intensive industries last year, and “this trend has continued well into 2023,” the repo...

Nigeria facing exchange rate turmoil

The African nation has relinquished control of its currency in a bid to boost investment A vendor holds Nigerian naira banknotes in a market in Lagos, Nigeria, February 16, 2023 © AFP / Michele Spatari Nigeria’s decision to merge its multiple currency exchange rates could stabilize the African nation’s battered economy, but could damage entrenched economic interests that depended on the old system to import vital commodities, economics professor Dahiru Balami told RT on Saturday. The Nigerian naira hit a record low of 860 per dollar on the black market late last week, a month after the country’s central bank devalued the currency in a bid to close the gap between the country’s official and unofficial exchange rates. By abandoning its artificially lowered rate,...

What India Must Learn From These Experiences

Freedom Struggle and PartitionFacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailTelegram The RSS and the entire Hindu-supremacist faction in India remained aloof from India’s freedom struggle, instead choosing to collaborate with the colonial British rule’s “Divide and Rule” mission by breaking the unity of the people on Hindu-Muslim lines. That Divide and Rule policy resulted in the bloody partition and the creation of India and Pakistan. Bangladesh broke from Pakistan later. Now the Modi regime – implementing an RSS agenda – has announced that 14 August (Pakistan Independence Day) will be observed in India as “Partition Horrors Remembrance Day”. This is a move intended to perpetuate the divisive tragedy of partition inside India and between India and Pakistan. Why doe...

India: Demolitions in Tughlakabad and Beyondby Akash Bhattacharya

On 1 May 2023, bulldozers arrived in Tughlakabad to demolish hundreds of homes. The demolition started at 9 am, giving people hardly any time to take out their furniture, clothes, utensils, medicines and other essential items. Over the next three days, over 2000 homes were demolished. The arrival of bulldozers was a difficult sight to behold. People rushed to transport their furniture, water tanks, and all household utensils before the bulldozers hit. They dumped them in a filthy field, in the rain, not knowing what awaited them. By the time the bulldozers finished their work, an extensive area of Tughlakabad, almost twice the size of the Gandhi Maidan of Patna, looked like a devastated war zone. The demolition happened after several months of back and forth between the Archaeol...
