WORLD: Will Sudan boycott Valentine’s Day? Zimbabwe’s New Prime Minister Meets Political Prisoners
February 13th, 2009Will Sudan boycott Valentine’s Day?
Love-struck couples won’t be exchanging flowers, cards or candy in Sudan if some Muslim officials have their way. Clerics in the nation are calling for young people to boycott Valentine’s Day, saying it serves as a distraction to Muslims, reports the BBC. “Valentine’s Day comes from Western countries. I call on Muslims not to imitate Christians,” Muslim preacher Sheikh Hassan Hamid said in a statement released to Reuters. “The money that is spent on Valentine’s Day would be better spent encouraging young people to marry,” he continued. While public displays of affection very rarely happen in the predominantly Muslim nation, the holiday has become more and more popular over the past few years, with more and more shops selling Valentine’s Day cards, reports the news service. And in some parks a few young couples can sometimes be seen sitting together, although a distance apart.
Zimbabwe’s New Prime Minister Meets Political Prisoners
On his first full day as prime minister, former Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai visited the nation’s political prisoners, reports CNN. Many rights activists and supporters of his party, Movement for Democratic Change, remain in prison, accused of trying to oust longtime President Robert Mugabe. While he isn’t sure whether they can be released soon, he’s confident his visit helped to lift their spirits. “Others are in good shape, but others, you know what happens in confinement. But their spirits are very high. …I’m happy that we managed to give them some moral support,” Tsvangirai said. Tsvangirai was sworn in Wednesday as part of a new unity government with Mugabe. The two were also scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss Cabinet picks. “I’m going to hand over our list to the president for the Cabinet for tomorrow,” he told reporters. The leaders have their work cut out for them as the struggling nation is facing a growing cholera epidemic that has killed close to 4,000 people, and an economic meltdown that has caused teachers, doctors and nurses to go on strike for pay. Tsvangirai asked for them to return to work to get paid in foreign money. “We have to find the money to pay them. …We must find something to alleviate the plight of our people who have been receiving worthless currency,” he said. “If you are going to have a productive workforce, then you must boost the morale of the workers.”
