German chancellor expresses concerns about vaccine distribution to poor countries

By 851 0

German chancellor Angela Merkel has expressed his concerns about the distribution of vaccine for Covid-19 to poor countries.

She has raised her concern, while she was speaking at the G20 meeting.

She has invited the attention of the members of the G20 into the matter. The G20 members have also responded positively to the concerns raised by the European superpower.

The statement has come shorty after the United States asserted that the initial stage of vaccination against Covid-19 in the country would begin as early as December, 2020.

Would poor countries be able to afford the vaccine program, is the big question at this juncture.

It seems that Germany wants the G20 to take up a prominent role to make the vaccine program affordable to all the countries across the world – irrespective of their economic status.

Germany is one of the prime members of G20.

The G20 summit 2020 has been hosted by the Middle East country of Saudi Arabia. This year, due to the Covid-19 crisis, the summit has been conducted virtually.

Australia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, United States, India, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, China, Indonesia, Japan and South Korea are the members of the G20.

By 518 0

A German regional minister has faced serious criticism for his alleged connection with a suspected member of a far-rightist organisation.

The allegation against the regional minister is that he has purchased a gun from the suspected far-rightist activist.

The criticism has intensified when he has tried to lighten the heat of the criticism by saying that the purchase was a personal matter.

The incident is the main talk in social media platforms based in the region. Media houses have covered the story aggressively. Some have even exceeded its limits to portray the regional minister as a far-rightist sympathiser.

The minister has admitted of purchasing the gun. But he has refused to accept his alleged link, and dismissed it as baseless.

He has filed his resignation. In the statement he has released at the time he has submitted his resignation, the minister has portrayed his resignation as a sacrifice he has made for his family.  

The minister has criticised the media for twisting the facts.

Notably, the development has happened at the time the country was trying to enfeeble the threat posed by the far-rightist activism.

The far-rightist activism is the biggest threat the European superpower of Germany faces at this juncture.

Europe’s biggest brothel files for bankruptcy

By 761 0

Pascha, one of largest brothels of Europe, has filed for bankruptcy, as the Covid-19 restrictions have made it impossible for the brothel to function.

Pascha is a very popular landmark in the city of Cologne. While speaking to media personals, an officer of the brothel has said that the business is at an end.

Prostitution has been outlawed in North Rhine-Westphalia – where the city is located – since the outbreak of the virus.

The organisation employs 120 prostitutes and 60 staffs including cooks and hair dressers.  

The officer has criticised the government handling of the pandemic.

It is high time for the government to confront these kinds of problems. It is unfortunate that the government has done little to address the concerns raised by those involved in this business.

It is not fair to keep a deaf ear at those who are dependent on this business for their living.

Navalny poisoned, confirms German doctors

By 621 0

In contrary to the view made by Russian doctors on the reason why Russian President Vladimir Putin’s critic Alexei Navalny fell unconscious during an domestic flight trip, German doctors – who are treating him since he was brought to the country from Russia at the request of his supporters across the world – have detected the presence of poisonous substance in his body, paving way for a new discussion around how Russia handle its critics.

Mr. Navalny has not yet recovered from the injury. He is still in coma. The doctors are yet to launch a detailed report on his present heath condition.

The critic is a most powerful opponent of Mr. Putin. It is not the first time he has been subjected to this kind of attack. Several times in the past too, he has suffered this kind of attack.

Anyway, the attack has belittled Russia. It has inflicted an irreparable damage over the image of Russia.

It is not a surprise that Russia has gone this far to attack its rival. The country is known for its intolerance towards its critics.

It is unfortunate that a country like Russia has failed to protect the values it has uphold for generations.

It indicates that Russia has fallen completely under the clutches of autocracy.

Namibia refuses to accept Germany’s repatriation offer

By 632 0

In a bold move, the African country of Namibia, which was a colony of Germany, has refused to accept the repatriation offer made by the European economic powerhouse.

Namibia and Germany have conducted several meetings over the matter. The latest is the eighth meeting that has been organised to discuss this matter.

During the anti-colonial movement organised against the Colonial Germany, as many as tens of thousands of Namibians were killed.

While speaking to a group of media personals about the development of the meeting, a Namibian representative has expressed his country’s dissatisfaction towards the outcome of the discussion.

Notably, the details of the meeting have not been publicised. It has been reported that the disagreement has emerged in relation to the contents of the agreement.

For Namibia, it is a very sentimental issue. For Germany, it is an attempt to heal the wound.

As per the claim made by Namibia, only twenty-five per cent of the total population of the Herero community of the country survived the brutal suppression launched against the anti-colonial movement by Germany. And, the Nama population was halved likewise, according to the country.
