| GUSS grillfest in time of Covid-19: Despite the pandemic hanging over our heads, Ghana Union’s grillfest went on successfully two weeks ago at Vårby strand. There were the usual threats – lots of meat, drinks and games. The ladies won a tough tug of war competition against the men. The kids also had tug of war. Social distancing was observed. Union president, Hien Dechor, took the opportunity to invite people to join the Union – the only one in Stockholm that is for all Ghanaians irrespective of their backgrounds. Sixteen individuals signed up for membership. Click here to see pictures from the occasion... |

| Bigotry against black people poisons in the Arab world: Faustina Tay, a Ghanaian maid in Lebanon, was found dead in March in the car park underneath the home where she worked. Doctors ruled her death the result of a fall. Her case was not unusual. Even before the economic crisis, human-rights groups estimated that around two domestic workers died each week in Lebanon, mostly by suicide. In June a Ghanaian television channel covered the return of 211 citizens from Lebanon, most of them female domestics. They described long hours, beatings and having to steal food to survive. “They don’t respect us,” one woman said. Read it all... |

| Sudan’s Bashir stands trial over 1989 coup: Sudan's former president Omar al-Bashir, ousted amid a popular uprising last year, went on trial Tuesday over the military coup that brought him to power more than three decades ago. Bashir, 76, who is already behind bars for corruption, could face the death penalty if convicted over his 1989 coup against the democratically elected government of prime minister Sadek al-Mahdi.
Dozens of people, mostly Bashir's supporters, gathered outside the courthouse in the capital, Khartoum, as the former president was brought from jail and the proceedings got underway. Read the rest... |

Fler testas - allt färre smittade: Antalet nyupptäckta smittofall i Sve
rige fortsätter att minska samtidigt
som allt fler testas. Förra veckan
rapporterades 2 789 fall, en minskning med över 40 proc från veckan före.
Allt fler covidfall är också lindriga, framgår det av Folkhälsomyndighetens
veckorapport.
81 801 tester analyserades, och bara
3,4 procent av dem visade på en
pågående infektion. Veckan före var
andelen 6,2 procent. Antalet analyse
rade tester är ett nytt veckorekord
under pandemin, men fortfarande en bra
bit från målet på 100 000 per vecka. (SVT text) |

Covid-19 deaths in Sweden - every third person who died of Covid-19 died alone: It is said that nearly 50 per cent of Swedes live alone. One of the grim effects of this was brought home by figures released from the Swedish Palliative Register. According to the register, every third person who died of covid-19 in Sweden died alone. 34% of those who passed away died without another person in the room. Often, the person at the patient’s side at the moment of death is the hospital staff. Only one in five had a close relative present in the room when they died. The statistics are based on 2,882 reported deaths of people who had an ongoing Covid-19 infection, a suspected infection or who had suffered from the infection. (SVT teletext) |

| Allt fler vill ha färre asylsökande:
En växande majoritet vill att Sverige
minskar asylmottagandet, enligt en
mätning som Novus har gjort för SVT.
63 procent svarade att Sverige bör
ta emot färre asylsökande än 2019, då 22 000 sökte asyl. Förra gången frågan
ställdes, 2018, var det 56 procent som
ville minska mottagningen.
Andelen som vill ta emot fler asylsökande har samtidigt minskat från
12 till 8 procent. Förändringarna är
statistiskt signifikanta enligt Novus. 19 proc svarade "lika många som idag". Drygt 1 000 personer tillfrågades.
Starkt stöd för volymmål.
En majoritet av väljarna vill att
Sverige inför en gräns för hur många
asylsökande som ska tas emot varje år,
enligt Novus undersökning för SVT.
28 procent svarade att gränsen bör
ligga vid 10 000 per år och 8 procent
satte gränsen vid 20 000. 16 procent
svarade att inte en enda bör tas emot.
7 procent valde mer generösa volymmål. 11 procent sade helt nej till en övre
gräns, medan 29 proc svarade "vet ej". Frågan är en av de mest kontroversiella i partiernas förhandlingar om
migrationspolitiken. (SVT textv) |
