The future of Afghan Women on a bus named Courage

KABUL (Afghanistan) – Its name is “BBB”, acronym for Brave Business in a Bus. It’s the first mobile incubator for female entrepreneurship in Afghanistan, and it was created by Selene Biffi, born in Monza (Italy) 42 years ago and founder of She Works for Peace (SWFP) which for over 15 years has been involved in projects related to education and the creation of employment for women and young people in Afghanistan. 

US tariffs: until the end, no certainty. The situation in Canada and Europe

TORONTO – Like on a seesaw, until the very end: while there are just a few hours left until the (announced and presumed) entry into force of the American tariffs, the “oscillation” continues. Today, close to the eve of the deadline set for the new tariffs (which would be the day after tomorrow, March 4), Howard Lutnick – Secretary of Commerce of the President of the United States, Donald Trump – stated that there could be changes to the original 25% plan. 

Tariffs and Annexation

TORONTO – This year started rather badly for Canada. With the newly-elected US President having taken oath on January 20, 2025, he immediately looked at the tariffs on Canada and Mexico and told the Canadian government to look into its undocumented people crossing the border to the US and at the same time, curb its flow of fentanyl into the US. These, Canada worked on. And showed the US that they can be done.
