EU, African countries to convene on Ebola recovery

The European Union (EU) has invited African countries for a high level conference in Brussels to review current efforts of fighting Ebola and place a plan to help Liberia and the other African countries to recover from the hit of the disease.

An emailed EU statement reaching Xinhua on Thursday said the presidents and ministers of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Togo as well as representatives of the African Union Commission, the UN, the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) and the European Union will all be attending at the very highest level.

Liberias President Ellen Johnson- Sirleaf will co-chair the conference on Ebola and she will be speaking as spokesperson for the Mano River Union (MRU).

During this High Level Conference, the 11th European Development Fund National Indicative Program for Liberia 2014-2020 will be signed between Liberia and the EU.

This is the most important support program of the EU to Liberia for the coming years, the statement said.

This Fund is allocating 326 million U.S. dollars to Liberia, which will be divided into the four areas including good governance, energy, education and agriculture.

The EU Ambassador to Liberia, Tiina Intelmann, said For us it is crucial to assess the priorities and envisaged action presented by Liberia and to find a way that we can all work together, in the immediate and longer term, for recovery in Liberia and in West Africa.

Cricket World Cup 2015: Afghanistan defeats Scotland

Afghanistan and Scotland each was going for its first victory in a Cricket World Cup match on Wednesday night in Dunedin, New Zealand.

The match went down to the final three deliveries with both teams still with a chance to win or to tie. In the end, Afghanistan won after a four from Shapoor Zadran gave it 211 runs to win by one wicket. Three deliveries were left.

Scotland had finished 210 all-out in its innings and had looked like the more likely winner for much of Afghanistans innings. This was especially true after Afghanistan was 97-7.

But Samiullah Shenwari hit a personal-best 96 to lead Afghanistan. Opening batsman Javed Ahmadi added 51. No one else in the lineup had more than 10 when Shenwari was dismissed by Majid Haq in the 47th over.

So the scene was this: To win its first World Cup match, Afghanistan had to rely on the batting of the final two members of the lineup to get 19 runs in 18 deliveries. Both those players are bowlers.

For Scotland to win, it needed to take one wicket or hope the batters scored less than 19 runs in the allotted time.

In the end, Zadran clinched it with two fours in the final four balls. As a bowler, Zadran took four wickets for 38 runs. Scotlands Richie Berrington also took four wickets; his were for 40 runs. Matt Machan and Haq were co-high scorers with 31 runs each.

But Shenwari was voted man of the match. He finished with 96 of his teams 211 runs.

Scotland will be disappointed by coming so close to winning only to fall short, just days after losing to Auld Enemy England in a Pool A match.

But its hard not to feel happy for Afghanistan. In an interview with the BBC earlier this week, Afghanistan Manager Andy Moles, born in England, described the security procedures for his team to play a match. The team is accompanied by 18-25 armed security guards to and from stadiums in its country. Moles says he leaves his hotel room only for practice or for matches. He goes immediately home. No restaurants, no walking around. For food, he orders room service.
