\u201cOn the occasion of the 2020 International Day for Rural Women, the African First Ladies Peace Mission salutes the resilience of the African rural women, especially in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the fore the need for the socio-economic empowerment of the rural women, which the AFLPM has always joined the United Nations and other stakeholders to advocate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDespite being seriously disadvantaged in access to land, agricultural assets and credits, education, market, and despite the yawning gender pay gap, African rural women and girls have continued to showcase their resilience in the sustenance of their families and provision of care during this challenging period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe AFLPM believes that the continent can build back better from the rubbles of the pandemic by strengthening rural women\u2019s sustainable livelihoods and wellbeing.

On the challenges posed by insurgency and conflicts to rural women and livelihoods, AFLPM stressed: \u201cIn particular, we enjoin the world to rally behind Africa to overcome the challenge of insurgency, which has gravely affected the rural women and their livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Austria\u2019s Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg is self-isolating after testing positive for Covid-19, his ministry said Saturday, as the country posted a new daily record for infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schallenberg could have contracted coronavirus during a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Luxembourg on Monday, a foreign ministry spokeswoman told the APA news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe has not presented any symptoms so far,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minister has cancelled a trip planned for the coming days to Britain, Denmark, Greece and Cyprus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All members of the conservative government of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz will be tested as a precaution on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Austria reported a new high of 2,300 cases on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a population of 8.8 million, Austria has also recorded 882 deaths since the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schallenberg is just the latest in a string of politicians to contract the disease, including US President Donald Trump, Brazil\u2019s Jair Bolsonaro and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Austrian foreign minister tests positive for Covid-19","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"austrian-foreign-minister-tests-positive-for-covid-19","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-17 16:00:57","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-17 16:00:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=652","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":639,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2020-10-16 15:46:43","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-16 15:46:43","post_content":"\n
A group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) has tackled oppositions to the nomination of Lauretta Onochie as a National Commissioner in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
