Civil rights advocates were delivered good news from final results in certain statewide elections that have provided somewhat of a silver lining to the national political fray between presidential candidates.
[ENA] Addis Ababa -- The House of Federation has anonymously approved a proposed resolution presented to it by the federal government to interfere and establish transitional administration in Tigrai Regional state.
Algerians approved a revised version of the North African country's constitution with two thirds of votes cast, the electoral commission said Monday, after record low turnout in the previous day's referendum.
The vote had widely been seen as a regime manoeuvre to neutralise the Hirak protest movement, which at its peak had swept long-time president Abdelaziz Bouteflika from power.
The Hirak had called for a boycott of the referendum.
The revised text passed with 66.8 percent of the vote, National Independent Elections Authority (ANIE) chief Mohamed Charfi told a news conference, noting that the exercise took place in the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic.
Charfi had earlier announced turnout of just 23.7 percent, a historic low for a major vote.
The regime \"wanted to break the momentum of the Hirak by reducing its demands to a minimal revision of the constitution\", Algeria expert Hasni Abidi told the press.
\"The people massively rejected this and placed the regime at a dead end.\"
The plebiscite took place in the absence of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who is hospitalised overseas after reported cases of the Covid-19 illness among his staff.
Tebboune had been elected in December in a poll with a turnout of just under 40 percent, the lowest in a presidential election since independence from France in 1962.
Said Salhi, deputy president of the Algerian Human Rights League, said Sunday's low turnout was \"a victory for the Hirak\".
\"The regime must take note of its failure and reconsider its roadmap,\" he tweeted. \"The process of democratic transition is the solution.\"
- 'No plan B' -
The Hirak, whose unprecedented mass rallies toppled Tebboune's predecessor Abdelaziz Bouteflika in April 2019, had pressed on with months of mass demonstrations to demand deep reforms to the ruling system. The coronavirus pandemic forced their suspension in March.
Tebboune has pitched the tweaked constitution as meeting the movement's demands, rhetoric echoed by Charfi on Monday.
\"The fact that the people were able to express themselves in total independence was another step in the construction of the new Algeria which began with the blessed Hirak,\" he said.
But despite the conciliatory words, the build-up to the vote saw a string of arrests and court rulings against pro-Hirak activists, social media users and journalists, with around 90 currently behind bars, according to the CNLD, a prisoners' support group.
State media heavily covered the \"yes\" campaign, while the \"no\" camp was banned from holding meetings.
The revised constitution itself was written by a committee of experts handpicked by the regime, and keeps key appointments in the hands of the president.
While it nominally enshrines a list of social and political rights, experts say it provides no guarantees.
The RCD, the main secular opposition party, warned that \"persisting on this path and promulgating a constitution rejected by 86.3 percent of voters amounts to opening the way to disorder which could carry all sorts of dangers.\"

JAY REEVES BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Alabama voters once again have the chance to remove the racist language of Jim Crow from the state's constitution, which was approved in 1901 to enshrine white supremacy as state law. Courts have long since struck down legalized segregation, but past attempts to strip the offensive phrases have failed. Even though no organized opposition to the measure has emerged this time, some worry that conservative backlash to the Black Lives Matter movement could quash the proposal, which qualified for the ballot months before the nationwide demonstrations that occurred in the wake of the police […]

[New Times] At least 170 hectares in three marshlands in Rwamagana District will be irrigated, following rehabilitation works on three valley dams that took over one year.
Dead trees and parched fields stretch as far as the eye can see.
On plains overlooking Agadir, in southwestern Morocco, water has become so rare that it is diverted from the agricultural land to households.
The region has been struggling with terrible droughts for the past three years and the local dam has run almost dry.
\"A lot of farmers stopped their activities after the water was cut off by the dam,\" said Ahmed Driouch, a Moroccan farmer. \"All the crops had dried up, the beans, the clementines, all of them dried up.\"
\"If there was water, I could cultivate my land, but there is no water,\" added Wahid Aguertite, another farmer from the area.
\"The cooperative has only one well and that is not enough for the 60 members. Everyone needs 10 hours of irrigation per day, and that's not enough: my land needs a lot of water.\"
With the drought, the authorities have had no other choice than to deprive farms of irrigation to provide a drinkable supply to nearly a million Moroccans.
The \"irrigation of golf courses and hotel gardens with drinkable water\" is also forbidden.
\"The last three years have been characterised by a very pronounced drought, which means that water reserves at the level of the dams today are at a very low level,\" Abdelhamid Aslikh, head of Agadir's water reserves agency, explained.
\"Historically, we have never seen such low levels on a basin scale, so this is worrying data.\"
Morocco's economy depends heavily on agriculture, which accounts for nearly 15 percent of its Gross Domestic Product, ahead of tourism and industry.
The drought spells disaster for citrus fruits and seasonal vegetables.

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press MOSCOW (AP) — Authorities in Kyrgyzstan on Saturday called an early presidential election for January after the nation's previous president was driven from power by protests triggered by a disputed vote. The Oct. 4 parliamentary election was swept by pro-government parties and triggered protests by the opposition, who rejected the official results as rigged. Demonstrators freed several opposition leaders, including Sadyr Zhaparov, who was quickly named the new prime minister.
