A főváros vezetése már korábban döntött arról, hogy április 27-től csak kendővel, maszkkal vagy sállal eltakart arccal lehet majd utazni a tömegközlekedés járatain. A fővárosi operatív törzs kedd döntött arról, hogy a budapestiek felé tett együttműködési kérésüket kiterjesztik. A döntéseiket az a cél vezeti, hogy megfékezzék a járvány terjedését. Nemzetközi tapasztalatok azt mutatják, hogy zárt térben veszélyes, ha nem takarjuk el az arcunkat, ezért lesz kötelező kendő, sál vagy maszk viselése – mondta.
A Budapesti Közlekedési Központ (BKK) közleményében tudatta, hogy a héten, és az elrendelését követő első napokban a BKK munkatársai hatvanezer egészségügyi maszkot osztanak szét ingyenesen több kiemelt fővárosi csomópontban.
Miskolcon is kötelező lesz a maszk, vagy valamilyen más, a szájat takaró ruhadarab, sál, kendő viselése a tömegközlekedési eszközökön csütörtök reggeltől – közölte a polgármesteri hivatal. Tájékoztatásuk szerint a szabályozás betartását a tömegközlekedési eszközökön a városi közlekedési cég ellenőrei segítik, ellenőrzik, illetve felhívják a figyelmet az intézkedés fontosságára. Az ellenőrök egyelőre nem szankcionálják a maszk hiányát.
Previous research has primarily focused on the EU’s high-profile involvement as direct mediator in peace negotiations. Conversely, less attention has been devoted to the EU’s support to third parties’ mediation efforts, which is a significant component of its mediation activities. Addressing this research gap, this article develops a conceptual framework for the systematic analysis of EU mediation support, identifying key mediation support techniques and the conditions for their success. In terms of mediation support techniques, the EU may rely on “endorsement”, “coordination”, “assistance”, and “lending leverage” to empower and steer third party mediators in line with its mediation objectives and values. We illustrate the utility of the conceptual framework for the EU’s support to IGAD in mediating in South Sudan’s civil war. We find that the EU has contributed significantly to IGAD’s empowerment in terms of endorsement, coordination, assistance, and lending leverage. Simultaneously, our analysis also points to important challenges in the EU-IGAD relationship, which relate to challenges concerning strategic engagement with IGAD’s internal politics that are marked by diverging interests and ties of its member states to the conflict parties.

KYIV, 23 April 2020 – In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has brought about a dramatically changed situation for all of us, the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine continues to focus on the implementation of the Mandate while also ensuring the reduction of risks for the local population and the protection of Mission members, the Chief Monitor of the OSCE SMM, Yaşar Halit Çevik, said today in his video address from Kyiv to the OSCE Permanent Council.
“Complemented by technical means, the Mission has adapted and continues to carry out core activities, including monitoring and reporting on the security situation in eastern Ukraine,” Çevik said in his first address since the extension of the SMM’s mandate. He warned, however, that restrictions to the freedom of movement imposed by the armed formations “directly affect our ability to carry out our work as one integrated Mission.”
The Chief Monitor said that full and comprehensive implementation of the ceasefire has yet to materialize, with civilians continuing to pay the price. “The continued fighting around civilian infrastructure is all the more concerning in light of the COVID-19 outbreak, during which uninterrupted water and electricity supply is vital to protecting the health of civilians,” he said.
Noting that SMM medic Joseph Stone had died three years ago, after his patrol vehicle was hit most probably by an anti-tank mine, Çevik said the anniversary was “a stark reminder of the need to take urgent measures to protect civilians against the risk posed by these explosive objects.”
Le président de l'Union islamique du Bénin, l'Imam ASSIFATOU MOHAMED ALI à travers un communiqué en date de ce mercredi 22 avril 2020, a informé la communauté musulmane que le jeûne du Ramadan démarre ce vendredi 24 avril.
L'Imam a souligné que la journée du mercredi 22 avril 2020 correspondant au 29 Chaabane 1441 de l'an hégirien, le Bureau Exécutif National n'a pas pu dûment constater la vision de la nouvelle lune. La vision de la nouvelle lune s'étant avérée impossible à établir au Bénin et dans les pays musulmans consultés, la durée de ce mois de Chaabanne du calendrier hégirien est de 30 jours, a-t-il fait savoir.
Ainsi, « conformément aux recommandations prophétiques et après concertation avec les responsables départementaux et des personnalités de la communauté musulmane au Bénin, le Bureau Exécutif National a informé les fidèles musulmans que le 1er jour du mois de Ramadan de l'année 1441 de l'hégire est le 24 avril 2020 », précise le communiqué du président de l'Union islamique du Bénin.
En raison de la pandémie du COVID 19, ce mois de Ramadan sera un mois spécial pour tous les musulmans, mais « le jeûne du mois de Ramadan demeure inchangé », a-t-il ajouté.
L'Imam n'a pas manqué d'exprimer la reconnaissance de toute la communauté musulmane aux agents de santé et au gouvernement pour les mesures prises dans le cadre de la riposte contre cette maladie.
L'Imam ASSIFATOU MOHAMED ALI invite les membres de la communauté musulmane et tout le peuple béninois à « suivre les instructions données par les experts ».
Tout ce qui contribue à la santé de la société et aide à empêcher la propagation de la maladie est une bonne action, et au contraire, tout ce qui contribue à la propagation de la maladie est un péché. Allah, le Très-Haut, nous a rendus responsables envers notre santé et celle des autres et du peuple », a souligné le leader religieux.
