Libye: des travailleurs migrants victimes d’extorsions par des agents…

En Libye, ce ne sont plus uniquement les migrants interceptés en mer et détenus dans des centres de rétention qui sont contraints de payer des rançons aux gardiens et aux agents de sécurité pour retrouver leur liberté. Selon des défenseurs des droits humains, dans ce pays, classé quatrième pays le plus corrompu au monde en 2025 selon Transparency International, des employés du ministère de l’Intérieur rackettent désormais des migrants en activité, alors qu’ils se rendent simplement sur leur lieu de travail.

The Springboks have nothing to gain in the World Rugby rankings from Saturday’s Test against Los Pumas, but could surrender top spot to the All Blacks with a defeat in Argentina. cricket-info.homes

South Africa’s 10.83-point buffer over Argentina means victory at Estadio José Amalfitani won’t add to the world champions’ tally.

A loss would, dropping the Boks to 91.96 points, or as low as 90.96 with a margin beyond 15 points, handing New Zealand top spot on 92.28.

RASSIE: It’ll be a helluva grind

The All Blacks are in action Friday night against the Stormers in Cape Town, a fixture that carries no rankings weight. The clash in Buenos Aires precedes the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry four-Test series between the Boks and Kiwis from 22 August to 12 September.

A win for Argentina would lift them above Scotland into sixth, with a margin over 15 points enough to also leapfrog England into fifth. Los Pumas can’t slip from seventh regardless, since the eight-placed Wallabies have no path to catching them by beating Japan in Osaka on Saturday.

KEO: Boks Buenos Aires Test is bigger than Argentina

The Brave Blossoms need a win by more than 15 points to move above Fiji into ninth, while Australia stay put no matter the result, unable to close on Argentina above them or slide below Fiji (ninth).

A loss for Eddie Jones’ Japan would drop them two spots to 12th.

Orlando Pirates captain Nkosinathi Sibisi says the Buccaneers are fully focused on making another strong start to their MTN8 campaign, warning that Durban City will provide a stern test.

The Buccaneers had a highly successful campaign last season, having won the domestic treble, which included the Betway Premiership, MTN8, and the Carling Knockout.

Pirates got their 2026-27 campaign off to a flying start after they secured a 2-0 victory over Milford FC in their opening Betway Premiership fixture.

The Sea Robbers will now turn their attention to the MTN8 when they take on Durban City in the opening round at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday.

Having enjoyed success in the competition in recent years, Sibisi insists his side will not underestimate an opponent capable of causing problems.

“It’s a competition we’ve become familiar with, and one we’ve enjoyed success in,” Sibisi told his club’s official website.

“We’re looking forward to facing Durban City and starting another MTN8 campaign. Whenever we play Durban City, it’s always a game with consequences. We know the quality they have, and we’ve prepared well as a team.

“We saw what they did to us at E’sgodini last season.

“We were cruising, but they almost spoiled the party. That alone tells us the kind of team we’re coming up against, so we have to be switched on from the first minute.”
