Sources from the capital city affirm that there has been consistent heavy gunfire near the presidential palace in the capital, Conakry for several hours. As some unknown soldiers, dressed in the country’s national colors.

The nine men-led soldiers who refer to themselves as the National Committee for Reconciliation and Development stated that the reason for their actions is hinged on several anomalies in the country which include but are not limited to increasing poverty, incessant corruption, and general mismanagement of public funds/property.

They further claimed that the current constitution of the country had been dissolved with immediate effect and in no distant time there would be consultations to create an inclusive constitution that would help in taking the country forward.

There have been several controversies regarding the COVID – 19 jabs as people are reluctant to take the vaccine, especially amongst professional footballers.

But on the contrary, Anthony Johnson has a different opinion regarding sports personalities’ reluctance to take the jab, as a survivor, he said that “I know there are footballers out there who are reluctant to get the Covid vaccine, and I understand why. I was one of those who just hadn’t got round to it. But reflecting on that now, I really can’t believe how stupid I was and the experiences I’ve been through in the past six weeks, which have put an awful strain on myself and, more importantly, my family; Just six weeks ago I was feeling like I was on the point of death, collapsing in hospital and having to be rescued by nurses. I was reduced to a shadow of myself, all because I hadn’t got round to doing something potentially life-saving”.

Anthony continued his admonition saying “It was pure stupidity on my part. I’m not an anti-vaxxer and I fully intended to get round to having the jab. And I have had my first jab now. But, being busy with pre-season training at Chester, it was just the bottom of my priority list. That’s the best way of describing it. I’d had Covid last year, so I thought I couldn’t get it again. And I’m 38, fit and healthy. So I reckoned there really was very little risk. It just didn’t seem that important; how mad is that? Basically, I was saying that living and being healthy was the bottom of my priority list! Taking training, work meetings, picking the kids up were higher priorities than staying alive.

At the beginning of the summer, I tested positive for Covid, which surprised me as I’d had it before, though looking back, I guess that was a different variant to the current Delta one. I was isolating but after a week, I wasn’t improving. In fact, I was getting worse, which is when my wife called an ambulance; I hadn’t really grasped the seriousness of it. As the paramedics were coming into my bedroom, I could hear them reassuring my wife and telling her that with younger people, they tend to leave them at home to recover. Then they took my blood oxygen levels and as soon as they did, you saw them looking at each other, thinking: ‘We’ve got to get him in.’

Anthony who collapsed while struggling to get into the ambulance un-aided and was later rushed to the hospital noted that “We were there for three or four hours, waiting to be admitted and those hours were the worst of my life; When I was admitted, there were people running around and they ended up injecting me with something to help my oxygen levels. I was at such a low point, I just started crying, it was that painful.

As he continued to explain his ordeal during his life-threatening challenge from COVID-19 said “I was totally out of control. People talk about Covid being a flu or a cough but I’m lying on a bed in hospital, feeling like I was poisoned with no control, just shivering and rattling; I woke up the next morning in the hospital, with nurses checking me every hour. I hadn’t really slept, so I asked the doctors to leave me alone. It seemed to me there were patients older than me, in their 60s and 70s, who they could deal with while I slept, as they were surely more poorly than me; Once I had turned a corner later in the week, I was thinking I have to get up and walk about or I’ll never get out. So I decided to try going to the bathroom, which was about 20 yards away. I walked to the bathroom to use the toilet and I had to pull the red cord because I couldn’t get back out. Two nurses came in for me and that was the most embarrassing moment.

I’m a 15-stone bloke, I imagine myself fit and strong and I can’t get out of the toilet. They brought in a chair to wheel me out and an oxygen tank and they told me off for walking without oxygen. And I just remember apologizing and feeling humiliated.

Anthony Johnson’s explanation as a survivor encapsulates the importance of the vaccine jab as he emphatically states that “I can only urge footballers to sort out their priorities. Having the jab is 15 minutes out of your day. I wish I could turn back the clock, had it done earlier, and not had to live through the last six weeks”.

Issues concerning the taming of the Covid-19 pandemic across the globe. British plans to introduce new Covid laws that would last the next six months to help track the anticipated challenges of the winter.

However, UK’s Act on Coronavirus states that it has to be renewed every six months and this accounts for the reason Boris Johnson seeks a vote to carry them through a longer period following the return of the British Parliament to session.

While these moves may receive a huge rejection by critics of the Prime Minister amongst the MPs who are motivated to experience a viable economic recovery process as a top agenda.

On one hand, a government official expressed his opinion saying ‘We will allow temporary powers in the Coronavirus Act to expire wherever possible, as we have at previous review points”.

While another school of thought opines that “we are going to have to learn to live with this virus and retaining sweeping powers of detention in the Coronavirus Act is not consistent with this. What justification can there be for extending these measures?”

The last is yet to be seen on Boris Johnson’s plan in the forthcoming weeks.

A recently leaked information by Novaya Gazeta and Independent Russian newspaper accuses Russian workers of allegedly planning to rig the forthcoming elections in their bid to ensure a massive victory for Putin‘s United Russia Party at the forthcoming parliamentary elections.

According to Novaya Gaeta a woman named Zhanna Prokofieva, who is referred to as an adviser to Korolyov’s Mayor, was quoted in a seminar comprising of workers where she stated that “we are interested in a specific figure and a specific party.’’

Sources opine that the party in question might be President Vladimir Putin‘s United Russia’ party should receive special ‘services’, The woman is alleged to have explained how to prepare duplicate of electoral lists in order to falsify votes and mislead observers and voters alike, as well as how to forge signatures. 

The newspaper further stressed that various individuals who had listened to the audio recording suggests that the woman in the recording is likely to be Prokofieva, who was accused of corruption and a voting scandal in the parliamentary elections of 2016

However, Russia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) is currently studying the recording with the intention to bring the culprit to book for further investigation and necessary action.

‘If the information is corroborated, then those involved will be inevitably punished with criminal liability, especially if it is certified as a group conspiracy,’ they said.
