Protest against the Panas Pela Committee, the Waraloin Community Throw rice on the highway in Maluku Indonesia.

Residents of Waraloin Village, East Taniwel District, West Seram Regency, carry tens of sacks of rice at the village office, and scatter it on the highway, Saturday, November 27, 2021.

Based on the information summarized, this incident was caused by the action of the YAPIOPATAI-MANSAMANUWEI Panas Pela committee which was allegedly not transparent and stored the rice in the village office and was not used for the purposes of the Panas Pela activity.

In fact, the residents really need the rice for the sake of the sacred Panas Pela activity.

Residents said they were disappointed, because they got rice with difficulty, however, it turned out that there was 1 tonne of rice hidden in the Village Office. The rice should have been distributed to the residents, but instead it was hidden for unclear reasons.

Disappointed with the attitude of the Panas Pela organizing committee who suspected that the rice was deliberately hidden, residents flocked to transport and throw it on the highway.

GERMANY'S TEAM SCHOLZ SWEEPS AWAY 16 YEAR OF MERKEL

Has Angela Merkel actually gone now?

Her imminent departure has been reported on for months, in the lead-up to Germany's September general election and ever since. Yet Mrs Merkel kept popping up this autumn at press conferences in Berlin, the G20 meeting of world leaders in Rome, EU leaders summits and more.

Now she really, truly is poised to tiptoe into Germany's political sunset.

Social Democrat Olaf Scholz is the Chancellor-in-waiting. After presenting his plans for coalition government on Wednesday, he's hoping to get the formal nod of approval from parliament in a couple of weeks.

So what can we expect? Will it essentially be same old, same old for Germany?

Mr Scholz is a solid member of the political establishment, most recently serving as Angela Merkel's deputy prime minister and finance minister; perceived as a calm and steady hand throughout the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

But - and it's a Big But - Germans are talking about a radical change in their country's "Machtarchitektur" - or architecture of power. And that will affect German policymaking at home and abroad.

Angela Merkel's style of governance was very top-down. Cabinet ministers were far less visible. Coalition partners over the years complained they were overshadowed and generally sidelined.

Not this time. Coalition partners - the Greens and business-friendly FDP party - will wield a lot of power. Not just because of the prominent ministries they've been promised: foreign affairs and the new economy and environment ministry for the Greens; the finance ministry for the FDP

Their leaders are younger than Olaf Scholz, they're seen as far more dynamic. Combined, their parties received a larger chunk of the vote than his Social Democrats. This will allow them to push hard from inside government for, as they've pledged, Germany to modernise, decarbonise, digitalise and change.

One German commentator remarked that the Greens and FDP liberals would likely be the policy cooks in the new coalition government, with Olaf Scholz playing the role of a waiter delivering their concoctions to the table of German parliament and society.

And what does that mean in practice for Germany and its partners abroad?

First off: not as much of a revolution as it sounds.

Yes, Germans voted for change this autumn. But change with a small "c". This is a country that appreciates stability. Measured change would be Germans' preferred option.

Having three very different parties in government in Berlin doesn't inevitably mean chaos and unpredictability. Germans will rely on known-quantity Chancellor Scholz to provide stability and equilibrium.

MIKE TYSON : MALAWI ASKS FORMER BOXER TO BE CANNABIS AMBASSADOR

Agriculture Minister Lobin Low sent a letter to Tyson inviting him to take up the role, and said legalisation in Malawi had created new opportunities.

Tyson, a former world heavyweight champion, is an entrepreneur and has invested in a cannabis farm in the US.

But the move has been criticised by some as the former boxer was imprisoned for s*x offences in the 1990s.

Malawi may not go it alone as the industry is complex [and requires] collaboration. I would therefore like to appoint you, Mr Mike Tyson, as Malawi's Cannabis Branch ambassador," Mr Lowe wrote.

The United States Cannabis Association was facilitating the deal with Tyson, the agriculture ministry said.

The head of its Malawi branch, Wezi Ngalamila, told the BBC the former boxer had accepted the invitation and plans were under way for him to visit the country.

"Tyson will be working with us," she said.

Malawi legalised the growing and processing of cannabis for medicinal use last year, but stopped short of legalising it for personal use.

The country's agriculture ministry has encouraged farmers to grow cannabis for medicinal purposes as well as h**p for industrial use.

The government hopes Mr Tyson's backing will "rope in some investors and even potential buyers", ministry spokesman Gracian Lungu told the AFP news agency.

A locally grown variety of cannabis - Malawi gold - is renowned by recreational users across the world.

Tyson has said smoking cannabis helped improve his mental health and turn his life around. Some studies, however, have suggested smoking potent cannabis can increase your risk of serious mental illness.

The Centre for Public Accountability, a Malawian civil society group, criticised the latest move due to Tyson's previous crimes.

The former boxer was jailed in 1992 after being convicted of r**e in Indiana. He was released in 1995 after serving less than three years of his sentence.

The CPA is failing to comprehend why Malawi would want to have a convicted ra**st as its brand ambassador, more especially, at this time, when efforts to curb violence against women are part of the government agenda," the group's acting director, Kondwani Munthali, said in a statement.

ROTTERDAM POLICE CLASH WITH RIOTERS AS COVID-19 PROTEST TURNS VIOLENT

Protesters threw rocks and fireworks at them and set police cars ablaze.

Hundreds of protesters had gathered to show their anger at government plans for a Covid vaccine pass, and a ban on fireworks on New Year's Eve.

The Netherlands imposed a three-week partial Covid lockdown last week as cases surged

Seven people were injured in total and at least 20 arrested in a night condemned by Rotterdam's mayor as "an o**y of violence".

Police fired warning shots and direct shots "because the situation was life-threatening", a police spokesperson told Reuters news agency.

The city was placed under a state of emergency and its main train station closed as a result of the violence.

Videos posted on social media showed burnt-out police cars and rioters hurling rocks at police in the city's main shopping street. Riot police used a water cannon to disperse them.

The Netherlands imposed fresh restrictions last Saturday after recording its highest numbers of Covid cases since the pandemic began.

The measures mean restaurants and shops have to close earlier, and sports events must take place behind closed doors.

Demonstrators clashed with police in The Hague after the measures were announced.

Earlier on Friday, the government banned fireworks on 31 December for the second year in a row. The ban would prevent "extra strain on healthcare", the government said.

SWEDEN'S FIRST FEMALE PRIME MINISTER RESIGNS HOURS AFTER APPOINMENT

Magdalena Andersson, was announced as leader on Wednesday but resigned after her coalition partner quit the government and her budget failed to pass.

Instead, parliament voted for a budget drawn-up by the opposition which includes the anti-immigrant far right.

"I have told the speaker that I wish to resign," Ms Andersson told reporters.

Her coalition partner, the Greens Party said it could not accept a budget "drafted for the first time with the far-right".

Ms Andersson said that she hoped to to try to become prime minister again as a single party government leader.

"There is a constitutional practice that a coalition government should resign when one party quits," the Social Democrat said on Wednesday. "I don't want to lead a government whose legitimacy will be questioned.

The speaker of parliament said he would contact party leaders on the next move.

Ms Andersson was elected as prime minister earlier on Wednesday because under Swedish law, she only needed a majority of MPs not to vote against her.

A hundred years after Swedish women were given the vote, the 54-year-old Social Democrat leader was given a standing ovation by sections of the parliament, or Riksdag.

Her election at the head of a minority government followed an 11th-hour deal with the opposition Left party, in exchange for higher pensions for many Swedes. She also secured the support of coalition partner the Greens.

Of the 349 members of the Riksdag, 174 voted against her. But on top of the 117 MPs who backed Ms Andersson, a further 57 abstained, giving her victory by a single vote.

A former junior swimming champion from the university city of Uppsala, she began her political career in 1996 as political adviser to then-Prime Minister Goran Persson. She has spent the past seven years as finance minister.

Before MPs backed Magdalena Andersson, Sweden was the only Nordic state never to have a woman as PM.

BULGARIA BUS CRASH
CHILDREN AMONG AT LEAST 46 KILLED

The bus was registered in North Macedonia and most of those on board were tourists returning from a trip to Istanbul in Turkey.

It rammed a crash barrier on a motorway south-west of the capital Sofia at about 02:00 local time (00:00 GMT).

Seven people escaped from the bus and were taken to hospital with burns.

Four-year-old twin boys were among those killed in the crash.

Bulgarian Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov visited the "terrifying scene" and said the survivors had been badly burned.

The cause of the disaster was not immediately clear. Bulgarian officials described how the bus swerved off the motorway and tore away a 50m (164ft) section of the crash barrier, but it was unclear if that was before or after it caught fire.

Pictures of the aftermath showed a section of the road where the barrier had been shorn off. No other vehicles were in the accident.

The mayor of the nearby village of Pernik said the motorway was in poor condition on that section and there were often accidents in the area.

Macedonian Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani told reporters the coach party had been returning to the capital Skopje from a weekend holiday trip to Istanbul.

Bulgarian media said the bus had been travelling as part of a convoy of four buses and had stopped off at a petrol station near Sofia about an hour before the accident. The other buses, which were a few minutes ahead, returned to North Macedonia safely.

The victims have not yet been officially named, but officials said they included 12 children, and many young people aged between 20 and 30.

A young couple who were due to be married were among those killed. Macedonian reports said 27-year old Gazmend Ukali and Albina Beluli, 23, from the north-western town of Tetovo, had gone to Istanbul to celebrate Ukali's birthday.

Albania's foreign minister indicated that most, if not all, the passengers were ethnic Albanians from North Macedonia.

Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev said he had spoken to one of the survivors, who told him that passengers were asleep when the sound of an explosion woke them.

"He and the other six survivors broke the windows of the bus and managed to escape and save themselves," Mr Zaev told reporters.

The bus belonged to Besa Trans, a travel company that organises trips in Europe.

Within hours of the crash, relatives of people who travelled to Turkey with Besa Trans last week gathered outside the firm's office in Skopje, anxiously looking for information.

Dzelal Bakiu told reporters in the Macedonian capital he was concerned for his nephew and had not heard from him since learning of the crash. He tried to contact the travel agency but had not been able to get any information

Bulgaria's interim Prime Minister Stefan Yanev described the incident as "an enormous tragedy".

"Let's hope we learn lessons from this tragic incident and we can prevent such incidents in the future," he told reporters as he visited the crash site.

Investigative service chief Borislav Sarafov said "human error by the driver or a technical malfunction are the two initial versions for the accident".

The area around the site of Tuesday's incident on the Struma motorway was sealed off and footage from the scene showed the charred vehicle, gutted by the fire.

Mr Sarafov told reporters that it appeared both drivers had been killed in the crash so no-one was able to open the doors.
