SAPO Notícias30 August 2026 at 13:36

Mahmoud Ali Youssouf advocated on Sunday, the 30th, in Luanda, during the 21st Extraordinary Summit of the African Union (AU) on prevention, that prevention must become an absolute priority for the African continent.

The chairperson of the AU Commission called for the creation of a more robust continental early warning system, capable of identifying and responding to threats before they turn into conflicts.

Additionally, Youssouf emphasized the need for more effective implementation of African Union decisions, sustainable funding for peace operations, and a fully operational Peace Fund to ensure adequate resources for peacekeeping initiatives on the continent.

PS leader accuses Montenegro of trying to whitewash chaos in national exams (W/AUDIO)

The PS leader, José Luís Carneiro, accused Prime Minister Luís Montenegro of whitewashing "the chaos in exams" at the national secondary level and of "being afraid of the Portuguese people," during a visit to the August Fair in Grândola. Carneiro criticized Montenegro for substituting himself for the Minister of Education to "affirm a reality that doesn't exist," noting that the percentage of candidates who entered higher education decreased compared to previous years. The socialist leader also considered that the prime minister should have thanked the PS for the financing and professional training programs left behind, referring to the situation as a "cuckoo" attitude that takes advantage of others' work. When questioned about Chega's motion of censure, Carneiro did not respond directly, but recalled that the PS awaits responses from the Government on education until September, threatening to proceed with an inquiry committee if he does not obtain responses.
