With 40% of its GDP coming from foreign aid, Afghanistan suffered a blow after the Taliban takeover in August prompted a humiliating retreat by western powers… 聯合國將為現金短缺的阿富汗人民啟動一個信託基金以直接將資金捐助給當地居民們。由於 (阿富汗) 40%的 GDP 來自外國援助，在 (今年) 八月塔利班 (Taliban) 接管後，促使西方大國們羞恥地撤退，阿富汗進而遭受 (經濟) 打擊… 2️⃣Eswatini: the last African absolute monarchy to fall? 史瓦帝尼：非洲最後一個君主專制將瓦解？ Southern African countries will send envoys to the embattled country of Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland. At least one person has been killed and scores injured in recent demonstrations against the autocratic rule of King Mswati III… 非洲南部各國將派遣使節們前往陷入混亂的史瓦帝尼 (Eswatini)，其原名史瓦濟蘭 (Swaziland)。在近期反對國王恩史瓦帝三世(King Mswati III) 專制獨裁統治的示威活動中，至少有一人被殺、多人受傷… 3️⃣Syria: never shy away from using death penalty 敘利亞：毫不避諱使用死刑 Syria executed 24 people for starting deadly wildfires in September last year. The fires torched 59,300 acres (24,000 hectares) of land and killed three people. Despite the chilling news, global trends indicate that the use of the death penalty is declining… 敘利亞於去年 9月處決了 24人，因為他/她們引發了致命的野火。大火燒毀了 59,300英畝 (24,000公頃) 的土地、造成 3人死亡。儘管有著令人不寒而栗的消息，但全球趨勢表明死刑的行刑正在下降… 🔱Espresso - Today’s agenda 每日濃縮 - 今日頭條 🇺🇸🤝🇲🇽Brothers in arms: America-Mexico border security 難兄難弟：美墨邊境的安全問題 Security relations between America and Mexico have been fraying. Last month officials from both countries met to hash out a new agreement and negotiations are ongoing: co-operation stalled after America arrested a former Mexican government minister on drug-trafficking charges. He was later handed to his country’s authorities—but not before Mexico retaliated by freezing visas for DEA agents. A revived deal is in both countries’ interest. Mexico wants America to curb the trade of guns over its southern border. America needs Mexico to ensure its supply chains, such as for semiconductors. Both want to stem the flow of migrants from Central America… 美國和墨西哥間的安全關係持續惡化。兩國官員們上月會商一項新協議的談判正進行中。不過雙方合作進程在美國以販毒罪名逮捕了一名前墨西哥政府部長後便陷入僵局。一直到墨西哥通過凍結美國緝毒局 (DEA) 幹員們的簽證以作為報復後，該罪犯才被移交給墨西哥當局。恢復這紙合作符合兩國的利益。墨西哥希望美國能遏制其南部邊境的槍支貿易；而美國需要墨西哥來確保其像是半導體的供應鏈。雙方都希望阻止中美洲的移民流動… — ✔︎ 按讚【每日一經濟學人】Facebook 粉專：https://reurl.cc/Lddode ✔︎ 追蹤【每日一經濟學人】Instagram 帳號：https://reurl.cc/Oqqoq3 ✔︎ 訂閱【每日一經濟學人】YouTube 頻道：https://reurl.cc/Y665dX ✔︎ 閱讀【每日一經濟學人】Medium 平台：https://reurl.cc/k00WZr — 🔶如有商業合作或業務需求，請洽：[email protected] 🔴如影音內容有誤，歡迎來信勘誤：[email protected] -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
