Абхазия стала победителем "альтернативного кубка мира" по футболу

Сборная команда самопровозглашенной Республики Абхазия стала победителем турнира, в котором приняли участие команды, представляющие непризнанные республики.

В понедельник, в Сухуми, команда из Абхазии в финале обыграла команду из Пенджаба, регион на севере Индии.

Абхазия объявила о независимости после распада Советского Союза в 1991 году и последующей войны с Грузией. Последние грузинские подразделения покинули регион в августе 2008 года после полномасштабной войны между Грузией и Россией из-за Южной Осетии. 26 августа 2008 Россия признала независимость Абхазии.

Президент Южной Осетии, Леонид Тибилов, раннее заявил о желании присоединения к Российской Федерации путем референдума. Первоначально в качестве даты проведения референдума называли лето 2016 года, но сейчас, похоже, референдум будет отложен.

Среди других участников турнира были Северный Кипр, Сомалиленд, Иракский Курдистан и Западная Армения, состоящая из представителей армянской диаспоры населяющих территории, которые в настоящее время являются частью современной Турции.

Команда Абхазии одержала победу на стадионе Динамо в серии послематчевых пенальти со счетом 6-5 после дополнительного времени, завершившегося со счетом 1-1. Альтернативный чемпионат мира завершился за день до начала чемпионата Европы по футболу, который состоится во Франции.

Ethiopian dam upsets Egypt, whilst China plays a difficult game

Ethiopia last week opened its mega dam on the River Nile, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). The launch has sparked a tense diplomatic battle between Ethiopia and Egypt, with Cairo denouncing it as “an unlawful unilateral act” and protesting to the United Nations Security Council. During an inauguration ceremony on Tuesday (9 September) Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed described the US$5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam as a “symbol of Ethiopian unity and national achievement". Several regional leaders, including Kenyan President William Ruto and Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, attended the event. Egypt, whose life has historically centred around the River Nile, believes the dam will threaten its water supply and cause shortages. Following the inauguration, Cairo warned that it reserved the right to take all measures provided for under international law and the UN Charter to “defend the existential interests of its people”. Sudan, has also raised concerns about dam safety and the risk of uncoordinated water releases.
