Cristiano Ronaldo n’a pas été retenu dans le groupe de Manchester United pour le match de championnat d’Angleterre contre Chelsea samedi, en réaction à sa décision de partir avant la fin du match contre Tottenham (2-0), mercredi.
Ronaldo, remplaçant contre les Spurs, avait quitté le stade avant la fin du match.
“Cristiano Ronaldo ne fera pas partie du groupe de Manchester United pour le match de Premier League de ce samedi contre Chelsea. Le reste de l’équipe est entièrement concentré sur la préparation de ce match”, écrit Manchester United dans un communiqué jeudi.
Selon des journalistes anglais, la star portugaise âgée de 37 ans aurait dit à son entraîneur Erik ten Hag, avec lequel il entretient des rapports tendus, qu’il ne souhaitait pas entrer en jeu dans les dernières minutes du match contre Tottenham.
Le manager néerlandais a déclaré après la rencontre qu’il allait “régler” la question (ce) jeudi et aurait, selon certains médias, le soutien de sa direction dans son choix d’écarter Ronaldo pour le match à Chelsea.
Un peu plus tard dans la soirée, la star portugaise a reconnu son erreur et tenu à faire amende honorable. “Je pense simplement que je dois continuer à travailler dur à Carrington (centre d’entraînement du club, NDLR), à soutenir mes coéquipiers et à être prêt à tout dans n’importe quel match. Céder à la pression n’est pas une option”, a-t-il écrit sur son compte Instagram. “C’est Mancester United, et unis, nous devons le rester. Bientôt nous serons à nouveau ensemble”, a-t-il poursuivi.
Depuis la fin de la saison dernière et l’échec des Reds Devils à se qualifier pour la Ligue des champions, Cristiano Ronaldo cherche à quitter le club du nord de l’Angleterre. Mais son souhait de rejoindre une équipe engagée en C1 n’a pas pu aboutir.
Le quintuple Ballon d’or avait manqué la tournée d’avant-saison en Australie et en Asie officiellement pour des raisons familiales. Et lors d’un match amical contre le Rayo Vallecano en juillet à Manchester, son premier match sous les ordres de Ten Hag, il était déjà parti avant la fin du match après avoir été remplacé à la mi-temps.
Le prochain mercato hivernal, qui pourrait intéresser à la fois Ronaldo et ses dirigeants, aura lieu du 1er au 31 janvier 2023.

as I’ve always done throughout my career, I try to live and play respectfully towards my colleagues, my adversaries end my coaches. That hasn’t changed.
Right now, I just feel that I have to keep working hard in Carrington, sup^port my teammates and be ready for everything in any given game. Giving in the pressure is not an option. This is Mancester united, and united, we must stand. Soon we’ll be together again.

Une cinquantaine de morts, les activités d’importants partis d’opposition suspendues et un couvre-feu: des manifestations jeudi au Tchad contre la prolongation de la transition de deux ans et le maintien au pouvoir de Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno ont entraîné…
Une cinquantaine de morts, les activités d’importants partis d’opposition suspendues et un couvre-feu: des manifestations jeudi au Tchad contre la prolongation de la transition de deux ans et le maintien au pouvoir de Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno ont entraîné un déchaînement de violences pendant plusieurs heures.
Plusieurs manifestations, parmi les plus meurtrières de l’histoire du Tchad, se sont déroulées dans différentes villes, notamment à N’Djamena, la capitale et à Moundou, la deuxième ville du pays. Elles ont fait “une cinquantaine” de morts et “plus de 300” blessés, selon le Premier ministre Saleh Kebzabo.
Union africaine (UA) et Union européenne (UE) ont “condamné fermement” la répression des manifestations, la première appelant “au respect des vies humaines et des biens” et la seconde regrettant de “graves atteintes aux libertés d’expression et de manifestation qui fragilisent le processus de transition en cours”. La France, allié-clé de N’Djamena, a “condamné” les “violences et l’utilisation d’armes létales contre les manifestants”.
Des appels à manifester avaient été lancés depuis le début de la semaine, notamment par la plateforme d’opposition Wakit Tamma et le parti Les Transformateurs, dirigé par Succès Masra, l’un des principaux opposants politique à M. Déby.
Ces deux partis avaient boycotté le Dialogue national de réconciliation (DNIS) qui avait prolongé début octobre de deux ans la transition vers des élections “libres et démocratiques” et entériné la possibilité pour Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno de s’y présenter, 18 mois après qu’il a pris le pouvoir à la tête d’une junte militaire.
Le Premier ministre a annoncé la suspension de “toute activité publique des partis politiques et organisations de la société civile”, dont celles des partis des Transformateurs, du Parti socialiste sans frontière et de Wakit Tamma, collectif de partis d’oppositions et d’associations de la société civile. Ces organisations sont suspendues pour trois mois précisent deux arrêtés.
Contactés par l’AFP, les leaders des partis politiques “suspendus” n’avaient pas réagi dans l’immédiat.
Le Premier ministre a en outre annoncé lors d’une conférence de presse un couvre-feu de “18H à 6H du matin”, qui durera jusqu’au “rétablissement total de l’ordre” à N’Djamena, à Moundou, à Doba et à Koumra”.
Barricades
Tôt dans la matinée à N’Djamena et malgré l’interdiction de la manifestation par les autorités mercredi, les manifestants ont “attaqué des édifices publics, le gouvernorat, le siège du parti du Premier ministre, celui du président de l’Assemblée nationale” dans un climat d’”insurrection”, a affirmé à l’AFP le porte-parole du gouvernement Aziz Mahamat Saleh.
A la mi-journée le gouvernement précisait qu’une “dizaine” de membres des forces de sécurité avait été tués dans les affrontements.
Des nuages de fumée noire étaient visibles et des tirs de gaz lacrymogène se faisaient régulièrement entendre, tandis que des barricades avaient été dressées dans plusieurs quartiers et des pneus brûlés sur les principaux axes routiers de la capitale, selon les journalistes de l’AFP à N’Djamena, qui ont constaté une brève accalmie en début d’après-midi.
“Je suis sorti manifester pour dénoncer ce dialogue de façade pour pérenniser un système et réclamer un changement du pouvoir. En 31 ans, on n’a pas vu de changement positif dans notre pays”, a déclaré à l’AFP Abass Mahamat, 35 ans.
“Enquête”
Le président de l’Union des journalistes du Tchad, Abbas Mahmoud Tahir, a réclamé une “enquête pour établir les responsabilités” concernant la mort d’un jeune journaliste, Narcisse Oredje, dont le décès a été confirmé à l’AFP par un membre de sa famille.
Le jeune homme a été touché par une “balle perdue” à l’abdomen dans la cour de son domicile à N’Djamena, alors qu’il n’était pas dans l’exercice de ses fonctions, a-t-on précisé de même source. Sa mort a suscité de nombreux messages de solidarité sur les réseaux sociaux.
A Moundou, deuxième ville du pays à quelques 500 kilomètres au sud de la capitale, les manifestations “très violentes” ont commencé “dès 5 heures du matin”, a assuré à l’AFP un haut responsable administratif sous couvert d’anonymat, qui dit avoir enregistré “d’importants dégâts matériels”.
Les Nations unies ont déploré “le recours à la force meurtrière contre les manifestants”, ajoutant que “les autorités de transition doivent garantir la sécurité et la protection des droits de l’Homme” et réclamé une “enquête”.
Lewis Mudge, directeur pour l’Afrique centrale à Human Rights Watch, a demandé une “enquête impartiale” après ces événements afin de “déterminer les responsabilités et garantir que la force ne soit utilisée qu’en dernier recours”.

Government determined to meet housing revolution goal Loop Barbados
Black Immigrant Daily News

Government is on target towards building 10, 000 houses across the island.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, October 18, during a site visit at Haggatt Hall, St Michael where 12 housing units are being erected, Minister Of Housing, Land and Maintenance Dwight Sutherland shared that the Government was on route to achieving its housing revolution goal.
“We have some 25 units that will be built on this location in Haggatt Hall. It is part of the 10,000 housing trust that the Prime Minister spoke about in our budget speech and in our Estimate Speech and when we resumed office back in January.”
Sutherland did not reveal the exact timeline the housing units in Haggatt Hall will be finished, but disclosed that an additional 13 units will be built in the area as well as 20 units in Whitepark Road, Alleyne’s Court.
“We said to the public of Barbados led by our Prime Minister that we’ll be building 10,000 houses. What we have here is 12 and I articulated another 13 that’s 25. Soon there will be 20 units at Whitepark Road, Alleyne’s Court, these are all rent-to-own units.”
He also shared that due to the use of photovoltaic technology, rent-to-own houses will be cheaper. These homes will be accessible for low-income earners who work for less than $2,500 a month.
“Persons that are earning less than $2,500 a month – that is the low-income category – when we put photovoltaics on the roofs of these homes, persons would have mortgage rates as low as $435 a month.”
“And I don’t think for a two bedroom house that is unreasonable and $530 for a three-bedroom house,” he professed.

Police invade home of DeSouza Road family, allegedly threatening father with a gun and traumatizing his children
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room
REAL NEWS: A DeSouza Road man is flabbergasted at the treatment meted out to him by heavily armed police officers in the presence of his young children.
An emotional Marlon Davis told the Good Morning Sass Show that officers beat down the door to his home sometime after 5 a.m. on Thursday, October 20, inquiring about missing or stolen items they allege his children took – including a weed-whacker, edge-cutter and other lawn and hedge-cutting apparatus.
Davis says his house was ransacked and the Police treated him like a criminal.
He claims that an officer pointed a gun at him, which caused his four-year-old daughter to cry, and he was handcuffed in front of his children, which has traumatized them.
Davis says the officers decided not to take him away only because there was no one else at home to take care of the children. However, he was ordered to report to the Grays Farm Police Station at 9:30 a.m., which he said he would do in the company of a lawyer.
But when Davis visited the station, he says he was told he was “safe;” he was not questioned; and he was told to return home.
Meanwhile, Davis is wondering who will will replace the damaged door on his home.
Persons who know Davis tell REAL News they are upset by what transpired and they believe he is being targeted and victimized.
One angry woman is asking why the Police are not going after “the real badman and dem,” including those on radio who are claiming to have inside knowledge of criminal activity.
Another woman says that “water came to [her] eyes” when she heard how Davis’ children were affected. “You know they traumatized those kids for life,” she says. “They’re never going to forget what they witnessed this morning.”

Nunez-Tesheira sends PNM election committee legal letter
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Trinidad and Tobago Newsday
Karen Nunez-Tesheira
CHAIRMAN of the People’s National Movement (PNM) Election Supervisory Committee Anthony Roberts has responded to a pre-action protocol letter from a legal team representing Karen Nunez-Tesheira.
The letter, from attorney Egon N Embrak, expresses grave concern about the risk of ballot boxed being tampered with ballot-box tampering while they are being transported and stored and votes are counted and tabulated, in the course of the three-day elections exercise. It threatens legal action if these issues are not addressed before the internal elections .
PNM members are expected to vote for 35 of the 39 challenged candidates over three days: November 26 and 27 and December 4.
In the past, PNM internal elections were a one-day exercise when ballots were cast and counted on the same day.
Nunez-Tesheira is one of three candidates challenging Dr Keith Rowley for the post of political leader. The others are Junior Barrack and Ronald Boynes.
She noted that while the party’s constitution is silent on completing the election process in one day, it has been the staple practice and time-honoured custom and convention that votes are counted and tabulated in the presence of appointed representatives in one day.
This exercise, she submitted, was even more critical, considering the increased risk of tampering with the ballot boxes when the elections are spread over multiple days and constituencies, requiring the back-and-forth transportation and handling of the ballot boxes during that time.
She said the PNM internal elections should represent something of a microcosm of general elections, which are conducted and completed in one day.
Roberts told Newsday on Thursday, he has acknowledged receipt of Embrak’s letter and has asked for time, until next Tuesday, to respond, as the matter has been referred to the committee’s legal team.
In the October 14 pre-action protocol letter, Embrak gave Roberts until October 19 to respond.
Roberts said he responded personally to Embrak, but the matter has been referred to the committee’s legal team.
In a previous letter to Roberts, which was shared with the media on October 7, Nunez-Tesheira first broached the issue of transparency and fairness in the unprecedented nine-day period for the elections and handling of the ballot boxes during that protracted time.
She is questioning what will happen with the ballot boxes at the end of each day’s voting, whether they will be moved from one location to another for safekeeping, and if so, by whom.
Embrak has threatened legal action if these specific concerns outlined are not addressed before the elections.
He is also seeking rectification of the lack of proper and timely communication of electoral requirements and the denial of Nunez-Tesheira’s request for the preliminary list of registered voters.
He said his client is demanding transparency, integrity, accountability and objectivity in the electoral process, in a manner that can be deemed fair.
Nunez-Tesheira also told Newsday she was promised a copy of the registered voters list and her team was scheduled to collect it later on Thursday.
She said the intention was not to stall the elections, but to have the issues addressed, especially the storage of the boxes.
“In any event, it does not leave a good feeling.”

Autopsies on dismembered men set for Friday

MURDERED: Josiah Charles. Image source: TTPS
AUTOPSIES on the dismembered remains of two Chaguanas men are expected to be done on Friday.
The remains of Josiah Charles, 27, of Circular Trace, Enterprise, and Makell Simon, 31, of Soldado Road, Lange Park, were taken to the Forensic Science Centre, St James, on Wednesday where they were identified by relatives, then returned to a Couva funeral home for storage.
The remains were found in a shallow stream in Mon Plaisir Road, Cunupia on Monday afternoon.
A severed arm belonging to one of the men was found several metres north of the stream on Tuesday afternoon.
It was originally thought the autopsies would be done on Thursday, but sources said they had not been contacted by the centre to bring the body parts.
Police said while the men were dismembered, it is still possible to gather evidence and determine a cause of death, as the extent of decomposition was not too advanced.
“We can still make certain observations and assessments on what happened with these men.
“For instance, we can see if there were gunshot wounds or any other injuries that can indicate what happened so reasonable assessments can be made,” said a senior police source.
No motive has been established for the murders and Homicide Bureau of Investigations Region III police are continuing enquiries.

Barbados’ Glow-In-The-Dark coin wins award Loop Barbados
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Barbados News
The Central Bank of Barbados’ limited-edition Glow-in-the-Dark $1 coin is the Best New Commemorative or Test Circulating Coin for 2022.
The International Association of Currency Affairs (IACA) made the announcement on Tuesday during the 2022 Excellence in Currency Awards for Coins which formed part of the Coin Conference in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The Bank issued the $1 coin in December 2020 as a tribute to the island’s essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It features the same design as the regular $1 coin but the flying fish is painted light blue, and the painted area glows in the dark.
Made by the Royal Canadian Mint, it was the first glow-in-the-dark circulation coin to be issued in the Caribbean.
Octavia Gibson, Director of the Central Bank of Barbados’ Currency & Payments Oversight Department, was present to receive the award.
“This is a significant honour for us here at the Bank. We’re happy that our commemorative coin has been recognised on the international stage by a highly-regarded organisation, IACA. I’m proud that I can bring this award back home to the people of Barbados, especially those front-line workers for whom it was designed,” she said.
Other finalists in the Best New Commemorative or Test Circulating Coin category included the South African Mint and South African Reserve Bank (SARB) with their 5 Rand Coin which celebrates the centenary of SARB and Monnaie de Paris with the Silver EUR100 which commemorates the 20-year anniversary of the Euro.
The judges assessed the entries on the basis of innovation, uniqueness of features, integration of features, and how effectively the coin highlights a significant event.
The Central Bank and the Royal Canadian mint are the producers of the winning coin.
