Sixteen killed in tribal clashes in Northern Nigeria

Sixteen people have been killed in tribal clashes in the East Nigerian state of Taraba near the border with Cameroon. All the victims belong to the Tiv ethnic group of farmers native to the area, attacked by nomad sheep-breeding Fulani from the mainly Muslim north of the country.
  Politicians, traditional and religious leaders immediately requested government intervention to put an end to the escalation of violence between these two communities. According to a very recent report published by the Nigerian social-cultural association 'Miyetti Allah Katual Hore', in Nigeria over one thousand farmers have died in the past ten months in clashes with breeders. The age-old conflict between peasant farmers and breeders originates in the search for and control over grazing land vital for breeding. These violent clashes are almost aways the result of 'economic' conflicts and mistakenly perceived as religious clashes. The reports explains that in Nigeria sheep farming is monopolized by the Fulani, the fourth largest ethnic group in the country and also present in other Sahel nations. The Fulani, usually divided into nomad tribes, generally live in the north where there is a Muslim majority. Farmers, especially in the central and northern regions where the most serious clashes have taken place, almost aways belong to Christian-Animist ethnic minorities such as the Berom and the Tarok in the state of Plateau, or the Tiv (in Benue and Taraba). . .

Will ASHA sue Nokia as they lunch Nokia Asha in India.

Nokia has launched its third Asha S40 phone in India (after the 200 and 300 models) – the Asha 303.

While it’s not part of the new Asha bunchthat was unveiled at MWC 2012 last month, the Asha 303 is certainly an interesting handset. It offers a full QWERTY keyboard, as well as a 2.6 inch QVGA touchscreen display. Other features include a 1GHz single-core processor, HSDPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Nokia Music Unlimited, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth 2.1, 3.2MP rear camera, 170MB of internal memory, and MicroSD card support (up to 32GB).

Indian customers can buy the Nokia Asha 303 either from Vodafone (which is offering 1GB of free data for the first four months with the handset), or unlocked, from LetsBuy – which asks 7,764 INR (about $154) for the device, saying it will ship it starting next week.  

Will MTN Crash Internet Cost With WACS Cable?

As MTN Nigeria prepares to go-live on the West African Cable System (WACS), a 14,000 kilometres fibre optic submarine cable with a capacity of 5.12 terabits per second (tbps), which berthed in the country last year, the expectation that Nigeria e-commerce and emergence as a digital economy may have to wait until the issue of carrying bandwidth traffic to the hinterlands is addressed.

 The WACS consortium include MTN, Angola Cables, Broadband Infraco, Cable and Wireless Worldwide; Congo Telecom.; Société Congolaise des Postes et Télécommunications (“SCPT”), PT Communicacoes, Togo Telecom, Tata Communications, Telecom Namibia, Telkom SA Ltd, and Vodacom Group Ltd. WACS which cost about $650 million spans the entire West African coast and terminating in the United Kingdom.

The cable would enable seamless connectivity among Southern and West Africa countries with the rest of Europe and America. It has 15 established terminal stations along its route and would function to reduce the cost to connect the West coast of Africa into the high-speed global telecommunications network. MTN is the single biggest investor in WACS with over $90 million in the cable.

Champions League draw analysis

The Champions League quarterfinal draw put Barcelona and Real Madrid on opposite sides, while Chelsea will face Benfica in the quarters.

 Many football fans were hoping for Barcelona and Real Madrid to meet in either the Champions League quarterfinals or semifinals -- two games instead of one. But placed on opposite sides in Friday's draw, it didn't happen. However, the Spanish giants are favored to meet in the May 19 final in Munich, so for those fans suffering from Clasico fatigue, a one-off title match is even more appealing.

Barcelona, on reputation, has an interesting quarterfinal against Serie A leader Milan, with Real paired with the team everyone wanted … APOEL.

Who's favored to win it all? We rank the eight teams still in contention.
