Help for Gaza
ZINDZI Mandela, the daughter of Nelson and Winnie
Mandela, looks set to become
South Africa’s new ambassador
to Denmark, according to media in her homeland. Some sites
already list Mandela as the ambassador, but not the embassy’s
website, where current ambassador Samkelisiwe Isabel Mhlanga
is named. The embassy declined
to comment on the speculation.
DENMARK will increase its
aid support to Palestinian refugees and their children’s return
to school by 25 million kroner.
Some 17 million will help the
UN relief organisation UNRWA
rebuild the school system and
hospitals, while 8 million kroner is earmarked for UNICEF’s
efforts in the area. An estimated
100,000 Palestinians are internally displaced inside Gaza

USSIA has no interest
in an open military confrontation with Denmark
or NATO, according to a new
report from the defence intelligence agency, FE.
Its increased training exercises in the Baltic, reasoned
FE head Thomas Ahrenkiel,
merely indicate the Russians
are undergoing a general modernisation of its forces aimed at
protecting its own interests.
Ukraine could be volatile
“THEY SEND a message to
NATO that they are active,
have a capacity and are willing to act,” Ahrenkiel told DR.
“There’s nothing new in that
– it’s something we have noticed since 2007 that has since
Putin’s just looking after his interests ... as usual
increased slightly in recent
years.”
However, FE did concede
that the crisis in Ukraine could
end in a European conflict
as Russia tries to maintain its
position of influence in the
eastern European country.
Terrorists and hackers
DENMARK faces a “serious”
threat, warns FE, from mili-
Mary and Mogens show Swaziland worries
tant Islamists from the Middle
East, Afghanistan and parts of
Africa, and the return home of
Jihadist fighters will exacerbate
the situation.
And Danish authorities
and companies, it continued,
still face the increasing threat
of espionage via the internet
from state-sponsored hackers
and other cyber criminals and
hacker activists.
MOGENS Jensen, the trade
and development minister, and
Crown Princess Mary were in
South Africa this week on a mission to promote trade relations
between the two countries and
draw attention to gender equality and women’s rights issues. A
woman is raped every 26 seconds
in South Africa, and the delegation hopes Mary can help bring
focus to a “taboo” area.
THE GOVERNMENT is concerned about political freedom
and human rights issues in Swaziland as the controversial trial of
two opposition politicians continues. The pair have been
charged with terrorism and sedition for criticising Swaziland’s
absolute monarch, King Mswati
III, who has since personally met
the Danish ambassador in the
region, René Dinesen.
