The Thai Army has ordered urgent protective measures for its troops in South Sudan, as the Africa CDC expanded its Ebola risk watchlist to include the country.
Army commander-in-chief Gen Pana Klaewplodthuk mandated an immediate assessment and deployment of protective equipment and medical supplies to personnel in the high-risk area.
Thai troops are currently deployed in South Sudan on a peacekeeping mission, providing infrastructure construction and logistical support, making these new safety protocols essential.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
