An Executive Order issued by US President Donald Trump’s administration on January 27th suspended all refugee admission for 120 days from seven Muslim countries – Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The political backlash has been severe and US courts have suspended the ban. The Conversation Africa’s Samantha Spooner asked Cristiano d'Orsi to explain the impact on Africa’s refugees if the ban is reinstated. What are America’s international obligations to take refugees? The ban doesn’t fit with the US’s international obligations. Because it’s a signatory to the 1967 New York Protocol it’s obliged to accept applications by asylum-seekers and provide them with temporary protection until their claim can be assessed by the relevant authorities. An executive order cannot remove these obligations. The US has also ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which provides for the “equal protection of the law” without any discrimination. This means that, under its international obligations, it cannot have a targeted ban on asylum-seekers from specific countries. Sometimes there’s confusion around the US’s obligations because it is not part of the Geneva Convention. But this covers a different set of issues: minimum protections, standards of humane treatment, and fundamental guarantees of respect to individuals who become victims of armed conflicts. How would Trump’s executive order affect Africa’s refugees? Three of the countries targeted by the executive order are African: Libya, Somalia and Sudan. The situation for Somalis is of the most concern. There are hundreds of Somali refugees living in Kenya that were told they could not travel to the US for resettlement. Some had waited 7-10 years for their resettlement to be approved and organised. In total, the measure adopted by the Trump Administration affects up to 26,000 Somali refugees who were hoping to travel from Kenya. This figure refers to both refugees who have already been selected for resettlement and those whose applications are under review. Approximately 3,000 were expected to be resettled from camps. They are now in a state of limbo. This even though Somalis are a priority nationality for resettlement in the US. Refugees from Somalia take precedence because the situation in the country is considered to be particularly severe or unstable. The US State Department has admitted that “most parts of Somalia…are not conducive to safe and sustainable refugee return”. The situation will only get worse as Kenyan authorities seek to close Dadaab refugee camp and repatriate all Somalis living there by May. This decision still hangs in the balance as the High Court is now challenging the government on its repatriation plans. The basis of Trump’s executive order is to “keep radical Islamic terrorists out”. Yet experts on terrorism have pointed out that recent attacks in the US have not been from nationals of the countries singled out by the president. For example, no individual of Somali origin has been involved in any attack in the US. But this didn’t stop Trump labelling Somali refugees in Minnesota – the state with the highest concentration of Somali refugees – as terrorists during his election campaign. Trump’s excuse for this accusation was that in November 2016 a Somali refugee was convicted of being part of a Minnesota “terrorist cell” and sentenced to 35 years in jail. What can, or should, Africa do in response? While she was still head of the African Union commission Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma described the the order as “one of the greatest challenges” for the continent. But African countries are limited in what they can do. The most effective steps would be to suspend contracts with US companies operating in African countries. But this would hurt the countries cutting the ties more than it would hurt US corporates. Nevertheless they could exert some pressure. For example there are contracts worth $206m that American oil companies signed with Algerian authorities in 2016. And affected African countries could demand that the terms on which America is doing business in Libya through the US-Libya Business Association should be renegotiated. In addition, as some influential media houses in the US have suggested, there is the possibility of stopping Americans from investing again in Somalia and Sudan. On the diplomatic and security front African countries could demand more information through official channels. Questions on why, for instance, some countries were placed on the list while others were not. For example, Egypt is the only African country with nationals that have been involved in terror attacks in the US – 11 people, and 162 deaths – yet it wasn’t on the list. In protest, the AU could temporarily close the offices of the AU Permanent Representative to the US. While this may not make much of a difference, it would demonstrate the AU’s discontent over the adopted order. In addition, there is the Unit2 points

For some it is seen as a madman who risks life in huge buildings and for others it is cause for admiration to be the only Venezuelan and one of the few in Latin America who practices the dangerous sport of Skywalking, this is Carlos Rengifo, a flame of 23 years resident of Petare who dreams of raising the Venezuelan flag at unimaginable heights. He confessed that rather than losing his life in a skyscraper, he fears intolerance like the one he experienced three months ago when he was arrested and beaten by officials of the Sebin for the "crime" of climbing and planting face the imposing Central Park. Carlos Rengifo, a Venezuelan athlete explained how since the age of 18 his desire to defy the heights was growing inside him, and this was manifested in dreams where he was seen on the cornice of the buildings and from there he decided to bring them to reality. "I like any normal chamo I practiced sports like swimming or basketball, but then I wanted to go more have tried luck in Parkour and freerunning where extreme displacements are made passing obstacles, but this was not enough. That's where I discovered the Skywalking and I fell in love with this discipline, "he said. Rengifo reported that he started practicing in buildings from 30 to 35 floors, making deadly leaps on the cornices, while improving his technique I decided that new challenges would assume and there was that he decided to challenge the cusp of the Tower Confinanzas which has 45 floors And 190 meters high. "Three months ago I took my first big challenge, since this is the second tallest building in Venezuela and the seventh largest in Latin America, it was almost impossible to enter the structure for security and then in the heliport I made several extreme movements , How to hold me with one hand, practice bars and even perform a somersault on one of the cornices among others. The sportsman who is the only Venezuelan who practices the discipline of Skywalking, revealed that he has been afraid but then goes on to a state of complete freedom mixed with a lot of adrenaline and managed to forget all the chaos that is experienced. "My next big challenge was to conquer the top of the Parque Central Towers, which has 60 floors and 255 meters of height including the one for ray where I manage to climb, there I guinde with a single arm without previous heating, we recorded several videos made by the Photographer Giovanny Chacón performing extreme moves. This was a dream come true, "he sighed. He explained that this sport originated as a fashion in Russia, which has spread to other countries like the United States, there at least two dozen young people defy vertigo and make extreme moves in the largest skyscrapers in the world. "My goal is to put the national tricolor at the top, I have other new challenges in mind and the country will take several high-impact surprises. I can follow through my social networks on twitter and instagram by @carlosrengifove and by Facebook Carlos Rengifo. Beaten and stolen by Sebin officials Rengifo reported that when he conquered the top of Parque Central, after finishing the photographs and recordings, they were surprised by three officials of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN), who accused them of being terrorists and began to beat them. "They kicked us and did not shout that we were terrorists, for more than three hours they kept us retained and even a cell phone was stolen. Thank God we hid one of the memories and saved some of the material collected. I felt afraid I confess it but I will continue defying the heights in my dear Venezuela, I am a sportsman not a delinquent ", exclaimed.2 points

Chemicals banned in the 1970s have been found in the deepest reaches of the Pacific Ocean, a new study shows. Scientists were surprised by the relatively high concentrations of pollutants like PCBs and PBDEs in deep sea ecosystems. Used widely during much of the 20th Century, these chemicals were later found to be toxic and to build up in the environment. The results are published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. The team led by Dr Alan Jamieson at the University of Newcastle sampled levels of pollutants in the fatty tissue of amphipods (a type of crustacean) from deep below the Pacific Ocean surface. The animals were retrieved using specially designed "lander" vehicles deployed from a boat over the Mariana and Kermadec trenches, which are over 10km deep and separated from each other by 7,000km. Not broken down The pollutants found in the amphipods included polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which were commonly used as electrical insulators and flame retardants. PCB production was banned by the US in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, a UN treaty signed in 2001. From the 1930s to when PCBs were banned in the 1970s, the total global production of these chemicals is estimated to be in the region of 1.3 million tonnes.1 point

The Console war is still ON and with consoles becoming more powerful and high-end PCs, the race to the top is becoming further more interesting. The Xbox One had a bumpy launch, but it's catching up fast with its' rivals fast. Now, with the upcoming Xbox One S, with it's free HDR feature, the XB1 is starting defeating the PS4 in some areas. 2016 was a good year for the Xbox One, now let's see what 2017 holds for all the Xbox One users. Halo Wars 2 An RTS game set in the Halo universe, that should be enough to convince anyone that this game would be good. The first installment in the franchise was a really great game but somewhat underrated and a sequel to that was much needed. Halo Wars 2 takes place 28 years after the events of Halo Wars 1. Unlike the Halo Wars, which lead to the first Halo game, Halo Wars 2 is set after Halo 5 Guardians, sort of acts like a sequel. The game has amazing visuals and a well-appreciated Beta, the game looks promising and is a must play for any Halo fan. State of Decay 2 The Ultimate survival experience. The first installment, State of Decay proved it. And a sequel to that was much awaited and we are finally getting a release in the year 2017. For anyone who doesn't know about the game, watching the trailer of State of Decay 2 would answer questions and clear your doubts about the game. The game is so designed that it would make you feel helpless against hordes of zombies and you have to use the environment around you to your advantage as firepower won't be enough. Crackdown 3 The much awaited sequel to the sandbox-styled shooter will finally be released in this year after a long gap of 7 years. Much like it's predecessors the game will feature open world, with 100% destructible environment and sandbox action. With it's new Unreal 4 engine, it is said to run at native 4k on the new Xbox One Scorpio. From what we know about the game till now is that, it will be a sequel to the first game, not the 2nd game and will be set in an alternate timeline as compared to Crackdown 2. Below A game announced at E3 2013, finally getting released this year. And so far it looks pretty promising. Below has beautiful graphics, and art style. It some what gives the vibes of Ori and the Blind forest, but in a top-down view. Along with beautiful graphics, the music is very refreshing. The game levels and boss battles are very different from other games in this genre and if you want to experience something different on you Xbox then this game is a must. Cuphead An action platformer which feels like it's a cartoon from the 80's, with fast paced action and what can be better than that? The graphics are a perfect replication of the cartoon graphics of the 80's. You make a deal with the devil and loose, and that sets you on a path of doing the devil's dirty work. With a large variety of boss fights and enemies, and level designs which are vastly different from each other, the game makes sure that it doesn't feel repetitive. This is a must play for the cartoon lovers or any platformer gamers. Sea of Thieves What Black Flag failed this game accomplished it, that is multiplayer pirate ship battles in the Caribbean. The game has actual ship damage and repair system. If your ship takes damage from a side, then it will start sinking from that side only, if you do not repair it. Not only the gameplay looks interesting from the trailer, but the graphics are also really cool. So, get ready to hop on to your ship and kill some pirates this year. Thimbleweed Park A nostalgic ride for the retro gamer. Thimbleweed park is designed just like a game from the early 90's. A point and click adventure game with a dark tone. In the city of Thimbleweed, which once a sprawling tourist location for the rich, is now a ghost town, cursed with black magic and you need to investigate and stop the evil spirits. From the looks of the trailer, the game seems to have a well established narrative and looks promising. Tacoma You enter an abandoned space station, alone, you are sent there to investigate what happened to the crew. Slowly as you progress through, you uncover what happened via the recorded messages of the missing crew members. The game has good graphics, not the best but still is pretty good and is comparable to AAA titles. The game environment always has a suspense with its intense background music, which sure makes the game more interesting. Ashen Beautiful and unique clay model type painted graphics which looks absolutely stunning. From the trailer, the world design and art style is gorgeous. You play as a wanderer who is search for a place to call home. In the giant open world and non- linear progression, you will face gigantic creatures, some friendly and some not so. You have to find your way and make to the fading light at the end of the tunnel by any means necessary. Gigantic A multiplayer MMORPG. The thing that is different about that it is a third person game. A slightly different approach to the MMORPG genre, with its third person gameplay and hero based character selection. The game has cartoonish graphics and really good, fast paced gameplay. Honestly, it looks like Overwatch in thrid person, but that isn't a bad thing. From the trailer it looks to be a game which is a lot of fun.1 point

Federal circuit courts usually toil in anonymity. They are a legal rest stop for landmark cases on the way to the Supreme Court. But this week it was different. All eyes were on three judges of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, who, for a brief moment, had the fate of Donald Trump's immigration order in their hands. They were considering whether to sustain a temporary injunction preventing implementation of Mr Trump's sweeping travel ban on seven predominantly Muslim nations. On Thursday night they gave their ruling. Mr Trump's order stayed on ice. Here are three things we learned from the ruling - and two questions that remain unanswered. 1. The immigration ban is going nowhere fast The Ninth Circuit was the Trump administration's best chance to get the president's immigration order up and running again quickly. The three judges could have re-instated the order and closed the borders as early as Thursday night. Instead, the order remains in limbo and it's likely to take time to resolve. The Supreme Court could hear an appeal, but the chances of more than four justices agreeing to reverse the Ninth Circuit ruling seem slim. Is Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer or Elena Kagan going to side with Mr Trump? Not likely. If this goes back down to the district court in Seattle, where it began, the gears of justice will grind even more slowly. A trial on the merits - which is slated to happen next, pending Supreme Court action - is a slow process. Briefs need to be filed. Evidence has to be submitted. Oral arguments will be scheduled. These things can take months or even years. That's a painful lesson Barack Obama learned in 2015, when a district court judge blocked implementation of some of his immigration reforms and the Supreme Court didn't hear the case for more than a year. 2. The case will be no slam-dunk for Trump This may seem obvious now, but on Thursday the president was fairly certain that his case was open-and-shut when he read what he viewed as the governing immigration statute to a gathering of law enforcement officers. "You can be a lawyer, or you don't have to be a lawyer; if you were a good student in high school or a bad student in high school, you can understand this," he said. "And it's really incredible to me that we have a court case that's going on so long." Some conservatives, as well, wrote that the governing laws were clear that the president has broad powers when dealing with immigration issues. "For all except the most partisan, it is likely impossible to read the Washington state lawsuit... and not come away with the conclusion that the Trump order is on sound legal and constitutional ground." In the end, however, the three justices - two appointed by Democrats and one nominated by Republican George W Bush - saw things differently. While they acknowledged the president's authority on immigration matters, they said the statute Mr Trump cited was not the final word on the matter. "Although our jurisprudence has long counselled deference to the political branches on matters of immigration and national security, neither the Supreme Court nor our court has ever held that courts lack the authority to review executive action in those arenas for compliance with the Constitution," the judges wrote. In other words, federal immigration law may have been on Mr Trump's side, but the Constitution wasn't. 3. The haphazard rollout hurt the order At the heart of the Ninth Circuit's decision to uphold the injunction against Mr Trump's order was that it violated the constitutional due process rights of all persons in the US, regardless of their citizenship or immigration status. And time and time again the judges pointed to how the order was initially implemented as reason for keeping it on hold. They wrote that permanent residents and lawful visa holders were not given "constitutionally sufficient notice and an opportunity to respond". While they noted that the Trump administration had since interpreted the order as allowing all permanent residents into the US, they were unconvinced that this new interpretation would be uniformly followed or safe from reversal. They said that the travel ban caused considerable harm, including the separation of families, stranding of US residents abroad and prevention of students and employees from travelling to American universities. A more measured, orchestrated rollout of the immigration order may have avoided these complications, weakening the case against it. Mr Trump said on Wednesday that speed was necessary in implementing the ban because otherwise a "whole pile of bad people, perhaps with very evil intentions" would enter the country before border restrictions tightened. Here, however, haste may have killed his legal case. 1. Is the immigration order anti-Muslim? Shortly after the Ninth Circuit issued its opinion, Nevada Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto released a statement saying that the court "reaffirms that President Trump's hateful and divisive executive order amounts to religious discrimination against Muslims". While the decision was certainly a blow for the Trump administration, the judges were notably restrained in discussing the religious issue. "The states' claims raise serious allegations and present significant constitutional questions," the judges wrote. Then they said they wouldn't consider the question further, since they had already decided the case on due process grounds. They did offer one clue as to how they might eventually rule, however. The Trump administration had insisted that the order must be judged on its own, without taking into consideration past remarks made by Mr Trump and his supporters touting a "Muslim ban". The judges disagreed. "It is well established that evidence of purpose beyond the face of the challenged law may be considered in evaluating Establishment and Equal Protection Clause claims." In other words, when it comes time to consider whether the order amounted to a de facto Muslim ban, everything is on the table - Trump tweets, Rudy Giuliani diatribes and all. 2. What happens next? Now that the Ninth Circuit has rendered its decision, the ball is firmly in the Trump administration's court. They could appeal to the US Supreme Court, where the eight justices - four liberal, four conservative - can consider as much, or as little, of the ruling as they see fit. Mr Trump certainly seemed to hint that this was the next step, tweeting: "SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!" shortly after the ruling. The administration could also decide to let the circuit court's decision stand and fight out the case in a full trial back in the Seattle district court. This would buy the president time to get his Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, confirmed by the Republican-held Senate. Then, when the case eventually made its way to the high court, his chances of victory could be markedly improved. Whatever happens, it's clear that this case will be a political football. The fight will be personal, and it will be ugly.1 point
