<div style="color: #444444;">
President Muhammadu Buhari will not extend
his corruption probe beyond the administration of former President
Goodluck Jonathan, the presidency has said.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Mr. Buhari, who is currently on official
visit to the United States, has consistently vowed to investigate and
bring to book, persons who looted the country’s funds.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
The president said on Tuesday he will arrest
and prosecute past ministers and other officials who stole Nigeria’s oil
and diverted government’s money to personal accounts.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
But the Special Adviser on Media and Public
Affairs to Mr. Buhari, Femi Adesina, said the president will limit his
anti-corruption war to the immediate past administration in the country.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
He said Mr. Buhari will not waste time in
probing the administrations of former President Olusegun Obasanjo,
Abdulsalam Abubakar, Sani Abacha and Ibrahim Babangida.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
He said even before he was sworn in to office
on May 29, the president had categorically stated that he would not
extend his corruption probe beyond the Jonathan government.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
“If you recall, that was already settled
before he got inaugurated as president. He has said he will not waste
time digging into the far past,” Mr. Adesina said.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
“The far past will includes Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not waste time to go that far.”</div>

According to a new study carried out by <span id="goog_1309887481"></span><span id="goog_1309887482"></span><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/">The Times of India</a>,
self employed people and people who work in private establishments are
more likely to commit suicide than salary earners in government
establishments. Read the report below<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Self-employed people are more prone to committing suicide as compared to
those engaged in service. In service too, private sector employees are
more likely to commit suicide than those working with the government.
National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data for 2014 shows that
self-employed people (including agriculture and business) accounted for
19.7% of all suicides, making them the biggest single group among
suicide victims. <a name='more'></a><br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></blockquote>
Among the self-employed though, businessmen were safer than those
engaged in agriculture.
Of all the suicide victims in 2014, 9.4% were engaged in agriculture
while only 7.5% were engaged in business.
The salaried class with financial security is just as vulnerable as
businessmen, accounting for 7.5% of all suicides. Government service,
however, is a much safer bet for a long life.<br />
<br />
Only 1.7% of the suicide victims were engaged in government service.
With no job security, private sector employees are more vulnerable.
They accounted for 4.7% of all suicides. Employees of public sector
undertakings (PSU) accounted for only 1.1% of the victims.
Students and unemployed victims accounted for 6.1% and 7.5% of suicides
respectively. However, the group most vulnerable to suicides is that of
housewives.
They accounted for 15.3% of all suicides committed in 2014.<br />
<br />
Making a case for economic independence of women, they also made up for 47.4% of all female victims.
Most housewives committed suicide in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.<br />
<br />
The two states had 24.5% and 24.1% victims as housewives respectively.
Government servants accounted for 22.2%, 16%, 15.4%, 12.2% & 6.9% of
suicides victims in Daman & Diu, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal
Pradesh and Mizoram respectively. In Andaman and Nicobar islands 52.9%
victims were employed with the private sector. In Chandigarh the same
figure stood at 27.6%.

26 have been confirmed dead and over 50 people injured after a huge
explosion in the Turkish town of Suruc near the Syrian border this
morning. Just about an hour ago. The explosion targeted Kurdish youths
and western volunteers in a Kurdish cultural centre. The youths were
giving a press conference regarding the reconstruction of Kobane before
the explosion went off. The photos above were taken right before the
blast. See the aftermath after the cut...<br />

Former
military ruler Muhammadu Buhari has become the first Nigerian to defeat
a sitting president through the ballot box, putting him in charge of
Africa's most populous nation and its biggest economy.<br />
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from the capital Abuja, said
Buhari was declared the winner after he gained 2.7 million more votes
than his rival, incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.<br />

Our correspondent said that Buhari managed to secure more than 25 percent of votes in 24 states, ruling out a run-off vote.<br />
To win the election, Buhari had needed more than 50 percent of the
total votes nationally - and take at least 25 percent of the vote in two
thirds of the states.<br />
Jonathan has publicly conceded defeat and conveyed his "best wishes" to the president-elect.<br />
He urged his supporters to follow "due process" in channeling their frustrations at losing the election amid fear of violence.<br />
"Nobody's ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian," he said in a
statement issued after his election defeat. "The unity, stability and
progress of our dear country is more important than anything else."<br />
The All Progressives Congress (APC) party<span> earlier </span>said
that Buhari had received a phone call from incumbent Jonathan during
which he immediately conceded defeat and congratulated him on his
victory.<br />
"There had always been this fear that he might not want to concede,
but he will remain a hero for this move. The tension will go down
dramatically," Lai Mohammed, spokesman for the APC, said.<br />
Victory for Buhari marks the first time in Nigeria's history that an
opposition party has democratically taken control of the country from
the ruling party.<br />

Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa, reporting from Lagos, said there was shock
that Jonathan had congratulated Buhari and that violence had not
followed the announcement. In the 2011 election, more than 800 people
were killed in protests after Buhari was defeated by Jonathan.<br />
"The announcement has been greeted with celebrations across the
country," Mutasa said. "Many people are excited and hope this will mark a
new beginning and move the country forward."<br />
Hundreds of Buhari's supporters gathered to celebrate outside his
home in Abuja, with some brandishing brooms to symbolise his promise to
clean up corruption.<br />
His supporters told Al Jazeera that the vote was "free, fair and without irregularities" as the country ushered in a new era.<br />
"We don't have roads, electricty and the youth are looking for jobs,"
one supporter said. "The people wanted change and change has now come."<br />

<hr />
Jonathan, whose five years in office have been plagued by corruption
scandals and an insurgency by the Boko Haram group, was trailing by
around 500,000 votes before votes in pro-opposition areas were counted.<br />
There was a brief protest by Jonathan's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the counting had resumed on Tuesday.<br /><br />Former Niger Delta minister Godsday Orubebe accused elections chief Attahiru Jega of being "partial" and "selective".<br /><br />Orubebe
claimed Jega had refused to investigate PDP complaints about big wins
by Buhari in northern states but had launched a probe into claims by the
APC of irregularities in Rivers.<br />
Jega said later: "I don't believe that the allegations are
substantial enough to require the cancellation or rescheduling of the
elections in Rivers state. We will take the results."<br />
International observers gave broadly positive reactions to the
conduct of the vote, despite late delivery of election materials and
technical glitches with new voter authentication devices.<br /><br />Nigeria's
Transition Monitoring Group, which had observers across the country,
said: "These issues did not systematically disadvantage any candidate or
party."<br />

When it
comes to the Nile River, Ethiopia and Egypt have invariably been at
odds. Disagreement, mistrust, fear and rivalry, what Wondwosen Michago,
one of the experts on the Nile, calls <a class="internallink" href="http://www.globalwaterforum.org/2015/02/16/hydro-mentality-over-the-nile/" target="_blank">hydro-mentality</a>,
has been the norm in the relationship of the two countries for hundreds
of years. It therefore came as no surprise when Ethiopia and Egypt
stood on opposite sides with respect to the 2011 Nile Basin Cooperative
Framework Agreement. <br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Similarly, the escalation of tension between Egypt
and Ethiopia following Ethiopia's launching of the Grand Ethiopian
Renaissance Dam (GERD) on its share of the Nile River close to the
border with Sudan was not only predictable but also certain. This <a class="internallink" href="http://www.issafrica.org/iss-today/heat-over-the-nile" target="_blank">heat over the Nile</a>
reached its high point when Egyptian elites in a televised consultative
meeting that former President Mohamed Morsi convened in June 2013,
discussed masterminding political unrest and even a military offensive
against Ethiopia. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB">Seen against this background, <a class="internallink" href="http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/03/egypt-ethiopia-sudan-sign-accord-nile-dam-150323193458534.html" target="_blank">the signing of the declaration of principles</a>
regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam by Ethiopia, Egypt and
the Sudan on March 24 cannot be anything but a paradigmatic departure. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Paradigmatic departure</span></b></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">As significant as the content of the declaration
of principles is, the fact that Ethiopia and Egypt have agreed on the
Nile is in itself historic. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Certainly, this marks a significant step for both
overcoming the long-standing tension between the two countries and
beginning a more cooperative engagement regarding the development of the
Nile waters. For Egypt, it represents a turn away from the threat of
war that risked to derail the talks between the countries for addressing
concerns over the impact of the GERD. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">For Ethiopia, the signing of the declaration by
all three countries vindicates its repeated declarations assuring Egypt
and Sudan that it is committed to ensure that GERD will have no adverse
effect on the two countries. Significantly, the declaration affirms the
trend that emerged in Egypt's policy position since Abdel Fattah
el-Sisi's rise to power <a class="internallink" href="http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2014/12/rapprochement-nile-20141222103136327738.html" target="_blank">towards recognising Ethiopia's construction of the GERD as legitimate</a>. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Expected to be Africa's largest hydroelectric dam upon completion, </span><span lang="EN-GB">the GERD is envisaged to produce up to 6,000 megawatts of electricity during good rainy seasons.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">The origin of the declaration of principles goes
back to the joint tripartite technical committee of experts that the
three signatories of the declaration established following the
commencement of the building of GERD in 2011. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB">Tasked with the mandate of studying the possible
impacts of the GERD on Sudan and Egypt, after a year-long review of the
study and design documents, project site visits and consultations with
Sudan and Egypt, the tripartite committee undertook and submitted its
findings to the three countries in May 2013. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Following up on the report of the committee, the
three countries launched tripartite talks in Sudan involving the water
ministers. After several rounds of talks, Ethiopia and Egypt failed to
overcome differences and the tripartite talks on the Ethiopian dam was
suspended indefinitely in January 2014. </span><br />
<b><span lang="EN-GB">Shift in regional power balance</span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">A major turning point was the election of Sisi as
president of Egypt in May 2014. In a departure from the threatening
rhetoric of Morsi's government and determined to restart the tripartite
talks between the three countries, Sisi in his first meeting with
Ethiopia's Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, on the sidelines of the
African Union Summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea on June 26, <a class="internallink" href="http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/104937/Egypt/Politics-/Egypt-and-Ethiopia-agree-that-tripartite-dam-commi.aspx" target="_blank">reached an agreement</a> to work on their differences regarding GERD and restart the tripartite process. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Following the resumption of the tripartite
negotiations in August 2014, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt agreed to
commission an international consultancy company to conduct a social,
economical and environmental impact assessment of GERD.</span><span lang="EN-GB"> Alongside, the technical negotiations, the countries launched political level talks. This led to the March 3 meeting of t</span><span lang="EN-GB">he
foreign and water ministers of the Eastern Nile countries of Egypt,
Sudan, and Ethiopia at which the ministers hammered out the details of
the declaration of principles. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">At the end of the three-day meeting, Sudanese
Foreign Minister Ali Karti told reporters: "A full agreement has been
reached between our three countries on the principles of the use of the
eastern Nile Basin and the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam."</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">One of the factors that formed the defining
context leading to the signing of the declaration of principles has been
the emergence of GERD <a class="internallink" href="http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2015/03/egypt-ethiopia-sudan-negotiations-political-renaissance-dam.html" target="_blank">as a new reality</a> and Ethiopia's insistence to address Egypt's concerns through dialogue. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Ethiopia has been keen for its legitimate right to
undertake projects over the Nile for its development endeavours to be
recognised. For this, it is backed by the completion of over 40 percent
of the contraction of the GERD and 24/7 construction work on the dam.
For its part, Egypt, while continuing its engagement over the technical
work that needs to be done under the tripartite committee, has sought to
secure written political consensus assuring it that no significant harm
would result from GERD. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB">While the signing of the declaration of principles
constitutes an acknowledgement of the shift in the regional balance of
power in favour of Ethiopia, it represents a milestone in Egypt's
concerted effort at containing the continuing loss of ground over the
hydro-politics of the Nile. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Within the Nile Basin Initiative, Egypt's loss of
influence came to light when most of the Nile riparian countries signed
the 2011 Nile Basin Cooperative Framework Agreement. The move in the
diplomatic power balance in favour of Ethiopia was reinforced when
Sudan, abandoning its long-standing alliance with Egypt on the Nile, <a class="internallink" href="http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2014/12/rapprochement-nile-20141222103136327738.html" target="_blank">declared in December 2013 its support for GERD</a>. </span><br />
<b><span lang="EN-GB">Declaration of principles</span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">It clearly emerges from the above that the
declaration of principles represents a compromise. Accordingly, no
country got all that it might have asked for, or conceded an outright
loss. The declaration of principles contains elements that cater for and
balances the rights and interests of the signatories.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">The declaration of principles also seeks to
address the suspicion and longstanding animosity that have defined
relationships over the Nile for so long. Accordingly, a significant part
of the declaration addresses issues relating to cooperation, confidence
building, exchange of information and data, as well as peaceful
settlement of disputes.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Clearly, the signing of the declaration of
principles is a huge positive development that has the potential of
transforming the tension riddled regional relations in the northeast and
Horn of Africa. This declaration should however be treated for what it
is - a declaration manifesting political as opposed to a legal
commitment of the signatories. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">At the moment there are promising signs that the
countries are bent on building on the declaration and opening a new
chapter in their relationship. Soon after the signing of the
declaration, Sisi flew to Ethiopia for a three-day official visit. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">During the visit, the president held meetings with
the president of Ethiopia, Mulatu Teshome, and the Patriarch of the
Ethiopian Orthodox Church Pope Mathias. He also addressed the joint
session of the two houses of the Ethiopian parliament in the presence of
diplomats in Addis Ababa. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Whether this declaration permanently changes the
hydro-politics of the Nile for good will depend on the ability of the
countries to walk the talk (in the declaration) through changes in their
discourse and practices at all levels, nationally, regionally and
globally.</span><br />

Gunmen raided a Kenya university before dawn Thursday, firing indiscriminately and taking hostages.</div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
At least 30 people were hospitalized from the attack at <a href="http://www.guc.ac.ke/" target="_blank">Garissa University College</a>, the Kenyan Red Cross said. Local media reported varying death tolls, but CNN was unable to confirm the exact count. </div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
The Somali-based Al Shabaab militant group claimed responsibility. </div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
By
11 a.m. local time (4 a.m. ET), six hours after the attack began, the
fight to regain control of the university continued. Kenyan forces
cleared three of four dormitories and had cornered the militants in the
last one, the interior ministry said.</div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
Garissa is about 145 kilometers (90 miles) from the border with Somalia. <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/02/world/africa/al-shabaab-explainer/index.html" target="_blank">Al-Shabaab</a>

Waking up to terror</h3>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
The
gunshots started going off "like fireworks" around 5 a.m., at the time
of morning prayers, witness Milka Ndung'u told CNN affiliate NTV. She
and others escaped to a field, but gunshots followed them. </div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
Augustine Alanga told CNN he woke up to the sound of gunfire and described students running around, seeking safety. </div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
Assailants forced their way onto the campus by shooting at guards at the front gates, Kenya National Police said. </div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
From there, attackers moved into a nearby girls' hostel, the Red Cross said. </div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
It's not clear how many gunmen were on campus. </div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
"We
don't know how many there were, but there are probably more than 10,"
said Robert Alai Onyango, a blogger in Nairobi. "We believe the
attackers were wearing something close to military fatigues." </div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
Onyango said the attackers appeared to be shooting indiscriminately and "basically from all angles." </div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
"They surrounded the mosque ... we don't know why they were surrounding the mosque," Onyango said. </div>

</section>When
Muhammadu Buhari is first addressed as Nigeria's president-elect on
April 1 - a day when people traditionally play hoaxes on one another -
he will be forgiven for thinking someone is playing an "April Fool" on
him. For many reasons, this is a victory that will not immediately sink
in.<br />
<span lang="EN-GB">By receiving 15,424,921 votes to Goodluck
Jonathan's 12,853,162, Buhari becomes the first man to overthrow (by the
ballot) a sitting Nigerian president. He becomes the first man in
Nigeria's 16-year fourth republic to defeat a PDP candidate. When he
takes over in May 2015, he will become the first septuagenarian to
assume the country's highest office. This is the same Buhari once
derided as a "perennial presidential aspirant" after three previous
attempts all ended in resounding defeats.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB"></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">For the first time, Buhari is no longer a leader
of northern Nigeria. Statistics of this election show he now has the
national acceptance he sorely lacked. This is the first time in four
attempts that Buhari has won more than one state in the north-central
zone. Before now, he never won a state in the southwest. But this time
he not only won his first southwestern state, he won four more.</span><br />
<strong><span lang="EN-GB">Jega, the unruffled umpire</span></strong><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">All these feats would have been mere tantalising
phantasms without Attahiru Jega, the same electoral umpire who was
demonised in the lead-up to the election by both Jonathan's PDP and
Buhari's APC. Only in January, Buhari claimed that Jega's INEC <a class="internallink" href="http://www.thecable.ng/2011-inec-computers-programmed-lose-40-per-cent-claims-buhari" target="_blank"><strong>programmed its computers</strong></a> to short-change his votes by 40 percent. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Meanwhile, PDP's <a class="internallink" href="http://www.punchng.com/news/jonathans-supporters-demand-jegas-resignation-poll-shift/" target="_blank"><strong>anti-Jega crusade</strong></a>
began back in September 2014 when he announced additional polling
units, and then reached a head with his insistence on checking electoral
fraud with the use of voter card readers.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">The last few weeks have been particularly
difficult for him, especially seeing plans being mulled to relieve him
of his job, and being literally coerced by the security chiefs into
shifting the elections. This is why, notwithstanding the lapses that
accompanied this election, Jega deserves nothing but ovation.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">On the third day of elections, some people in
Jonathan's camp were still making last-gasp efforts to scuttle the
electoral process. For some inexplicable reason, some state collation
officers were "deliberately" refusing to turn up at the national
collation centre to turn in their already-compiled results - that was
after INEC offered to fly them to Abuja, even though that was the duty
of the officers.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Jega faced his stiffest test of the election on
Tuesday, when Godsday Orubebe, a man so inappositely fascinated by the
title "elder", acted in a far-from-elderly manner by rascally stalling
the opening of the day's collation. For more than 30 minutes, Orubebe,
who has nothing to show for his four years at the saddle of the Niger
Delta ministry, screamed and hurled expletives at the INEC chairman.</span><br />
<div class="QuoteContainer">

</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<span lang="EN-GB">But Jega, to the admiration of millions of
Nigerians, responded calmly, reminding Orubebe of his duty to the
country as a former minister of the federal republic. It was a moment of
immense embarrassment for Nigeria, but it was also a moment when Jega
showed the world that for every Judas Iscariot, Nigeria probably has 11
other disciples. In the decades to come, the story of Nigeria's 2015
election will be incomplete without detailed reference to the integrity,
impartiality and conscientiousness of Attahiru Jega.</span><br />
<strong><span lang="EN-GB">Jonathan's ultimate victory</span></strong><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">My impressions<strong> </strong>about the scale of corruption, mediocrity and failed promises that have defined the Jonathan years are <a class="internallink" href="http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2014/11/why-nigeria-jonathan-worried-20141123104313818965.html" target="_blank"><strong>well-documented</strong></a>.
But he will have my credit for helping to enthrone peace during and
after the elections, much to the consternation of the international
community. On Saturday, when four INEC card readers failed to clear him,
Jonathan preached peace and urged Nigerians to support the INEC. A
moment of madness from him at that time could have sparked violence.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Additionally, once the president realised the game
was up, he telephoned Buhari to concede defeat, thereby setting the
tone for a peaceful handover. After failing to sign the results sheet,
Jonathan's PDP looks primed for a fruitless legal tussle - but it is of
no consequence.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">By conceding defeat, Jonathan succeeds in masking
his numerous inadequacies with one final show of statesmanship. In the
developed world, this action will amount to nought. At this phase of <span>Nigeria's </span>democracy,
it should be praised. In the final analysis, history will be kinder to
Jonathan than his underwhelming four years deserve - because he will not
be remembered as the one who made life difficult with fuel price
increases less than a year into his tenure; or the one under whose watch
Boko Haram blossomed; or the one in whose time the naira fell to its
all-time low; or the one in whose care billions disappeared without
consequence; or the one who granted state pardon to one of Nigeria's
most notorious and ignominious public-office thieves. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Jonathan will be remembered as the first civilian
president to peacefully hand over power to another. That,
matter-of-factly, is an undeservedly glittering end to what has been an
unflattering four years.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Buhari's victory triggered wild jubilation among his supporters all over the country, and he quickly <a class="internallink" href="http://tribune.com.ng/news/news-headlines/item/33255-buhari-thanks-fans-preaches-sober-celebrations" target="_blank"><strong>released a statement</strong></a>
to say the celebrations should be instead "sober". Perhaps this is the
first sign of a man who will not get easily carried away.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Buhari will do well to remind himself of how
quickly a leader in Nigeria can fall from hero to the fall guy. His
party has promised so much during this campaign; the work needing his
attention his even much more.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB">The General needs to look no further than the man
whose political downfall he has just masterminded. Some of the men who
marched on the streets of Abuja to demand Jonathan's installation as
substantive president (during the late Yar'Adua's illness) were at the
forefront of the campaign that uprooted his government. There is little
margin for error, else it is Buhari who would be conceding defeat in
2019.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05757587351021997145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980437380480785280.post-89947235254543535522015-04-01T11:47:00.000+01:002015-04-01T11:47:12.215+01:00Buhari praises Jonathan in landmark Nigeria poll<figure class="article-main-image"><img alt="The announcement of Buhari's win has been greeted with celebrations across the country [Tom Saater/Al Jazeera]" class="article-main-img" src="http://www.aljazeera.com/mritems/imagecache/mbdxxlarge/mritems/Images/2015/4/1/1198527fa2144a7a8124719d383e28fb_18.jpg" title="Buhari praises Jonathan in landmark Nigeria poll" width="100%" /><figcaption><a name='more'></a></figcaption></figure><div class="article-body" id="article-body">
Nigerian
election winner Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated outgoing President
Goodluck Jonathan for peacefully relinquishing power, a day after
becoming the first Nigerian politician to unseat a sitting leader at the
ballot box.<br /><br />"President Jonathan was a worthy opponent and I
extend the hand of fellowship to him," Buhari told journalists and
supporters to loud applause on Wednesday.<br /><br />"We have proven to the world that we are people who have embraced democracy. We have put one-party state behind us."<br /><br />The margin of victory - Buhari got 15.4 million votes to Jonathan's 13.3 million - was enough to prevent any legal challenge.<br /><br />In
an unprecedented step, Jonathan called Buhari to concede defeat and
issued a statement urging his supporters to accept the result, a signal
of deepening democracy in Africa's most populous nation that few had
expected.<br />

He urged his supporters to follow "due process" in channelling their frustrations at losing the election amid fear of violence.<br />
"Nobody's ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian," he said in a statement issued after his election defeat.<br />
"The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else."<br />
The rules state he must officially handover on May 29.<br /><br />His rival All Progressives Congress Party (APC) wasted no time in crowning him a "hero" for his good sportsmanship.<br /><br />Jonathan's
People's Democratic Party (PDP) has been in charge since the end of
army rule in 1999 but had been losing support due to several oil sector
corruption scandals and killings by rebel group Boko Haram in the
northeast.<br /><br />"You voted for change and now change has come," Buhari said.<br />
Former military ruler Buhari became the first Nigerian to defeat a sitting president through the ballot box.<br />
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from the capital Abuja, said
Buhari was declared the winner after he gained 2.7 million more votes
than his rival, incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.<br />
"There had always been this fear that he might not want to concede,
but he will remain a hero for this move. The tension will go down
dramatically," Lai Mohammed, spokesman for the APC, said.<br />
Victory for Buhari marks the first time in Nigeria's history that an
opposition party has democratically taken control of the country from
the ruling party.<br />

Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa, reporting from Lagos, said there was shock
that Jonathan had congratulated Buhari and that violence had not
followed the announcement. In the 2011 election, more than 800 people
were killed in protests after Buhari was defeated by Jonathan.<br />
"The announcement has been greeted with celebrations across the
country," Mutasa said. "Many people are excited and hope this will mark a
new beginning and move the country forward."<br />
Hundreds of Buhari's supporters gathered to celebrate outside his
home in Abuja, with some brandishing brooms to symbolise his promise to
clean up corruption.<br />
His supporters told Al Jazeera that the vote was "free, fair and without irregularities" as the country ushered in a new era.<br />
"We don't have roads, electricity and the youth are looking for
jobs," one supporter said. "The people wanted change and change has now
come."<br />

<hr />
Jonathan, whose five years in office have been plagued by corruption
scandals and an insurgency by the Boko Haram group, was trailing by
around 500,000 votes before votes in pro-opposition areas were counted.<br />
There was a brief protest by Jonathan's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before the counting had resumed on Tuesday.<br /><br />Former Niger Delta minister Godsday Orubebe accused elections chief Attahiru Jega of being "partial" and "selective".<br /><br />Orubebe
claimed Jega had refused to investigate PDP complaints about big wins
by Buhari in northern states but had launched a probe into claims by the
APC of irregularities in Rivers.<br />
Jega said later: "I don't believe that the allegations are
substantial enough to require the cancellation or rescheduling of the
elections in Rivers state. We will take the results."<br />
International observers gave broadly positive reactions to the
conduct of the vote, despite late delivery of election materials and
technical glitches with new voter authentication devices.<br /><br />Nigeria's
Transition Monitoring Group, which had observers across the country,
said: "These issues did not systematically disadvantage any candidate or
party."<br />

We believe majority of the eligible Nigerian voters must have voted by
now, as more results are beginning to come in from the different local
government areas in Nigeria.<br />
<br />
We continue a new Live Update thread which is dedicated to our third day
of the coverage of the ongoing presidential and National Assembly
elections, most especially as more results are beginning to roll in from
the different INEC collation centres nationwide.<br />
<br />
We deeply appreciate everyone who participated in information gathering
and sent in reports, pictures and videos from various polling units
nationwide.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">We
believe election results announced at polling units, wards and local
governments are authentic and documenting them could help put officials
and politicians in check. So, let us all contribute to documenting
proceedings, and report gathering nationwide.</span><br />

The Saturday statement reads:<br />
“The
card reader is a novel tool in our elections and naturally there will
be some initial hiccups. We understand that the delays were due to the
failure to remove the protective films on the lenses of many card
readers, the poor network of some of the sim cards in the machines and
the effect of jamming devices on the card readers.”<br />

Raids target Houthi strongholds across country while ground fighting reported in the southern city of Aden.</h2>
</div>
</hgroup>Saudi-led
coalition troops have bombed Houthi targets in Yemen for a third
consecutive night, and claim to be in complete control of Yemen's
airspace.<br />
The air strikes early on Saturday hit targets in the city of Hudaydah
on the Red Sea Coast, the Houthi stronghold of Saada in the north, and
military installations in and around the capital Sanaa.<br />
The air strikes also struck the base of Yemen's former President Ali
Abdullah Saleh, who ruled the country for more than 30 years. Saleh is
believed to have fled to Sanhan, near the capital.<br />
The air strikes come amid reports of ground fighting between forces
loyal to President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and the Houthi rebels in the
southern port of Aden.<br />
The spokesman for the Arab coalition bombing Houthi targets in Yemen,
Brigadier General Ahmed Asiri, said that Saudi Arabia and its allies
will do whatever it takes to stop Yemen's second largest city from
falling to the Shia rebels.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Asiri said in Riyadh on Friday that the coalition's "main objective [is] to protect the government in Aden".<br />
Asiri's comments came as a US defence official told Al Jazeera that
US forces had rescued two Saudi airmen on Thursday who had ejected from
their F-15 fighter jets over the Gulf of Aden. The official said a HH-60
helicopter from Djibouti recovered the Saudi airmen in international
waters.<br />
The defence official said the rescue took place at Saudi Arabia's
request and a statement issued by the White House said that Saudi's King
Salman had thanked US President Barack Obama in a phone call.<br />
Saudi Arabia's state news agency reported that the fighter plane had been "stricken by a technical fault".<br />

<a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/03/isil-fighters-launch-attack-iraq-ramadi-150311100558109.html#"> </a>The proclaimed
aim of the Saudi-led airstrikes is to restore legitimacy in Yemen by
reversing the Houthi coup. But the regional dimension is crucial.<br />
The Houthis are a Shia group backed by Iran, a serious sectarian
rival to the Sunni kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Both are regional
heavyweights vying for dominance in the Middle East.<br />
Saudi Arabia already has problems with its disgruntled Shia minority
in the east of the country and a rebellious Shia community in
neighbouring Bahrain.<br />
Through Shia communities in the Arab world Iran has already gained influence in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.<br />
The possibility it may control Yemen with which the kingdom has 2,000km of border is very unsettling to the Saudis.<br />

Asiri's remarks came as warnings were raised that a humanitarian disaster could unfold should the conflict escalate.<br />
Bashrahil Hesham Bashrahil, a journalist based in Aden, said
civilians were scared and leaving the city with the once busy streets
now eerily quiet.<br />
"The markets are closed, businesses are closed and there is a real shortage of food," Bashrahil told Al Jazeera.<br />
"Banks have been shut since Thursday and will not reopen until the security situation has been addressed.<br />
"While power supplies have not yet been effected there is a real
sense of fear should the fighting worsen," he said. "Hospitals are
struggling to cope with the number of injured and are appealing for
blood donations."<br />
Houthis and Hadi loyalists have been clashing on the outskirts of the city in the last few days, leaving many casualties.<br />
Aden is believed to harbour dozens of army defectors and Houthi fighters.<br />
Hadi left Aden on Thursday under Saudi protection. After a stop in
Riyadh, he arrived on Friday in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh
where he is to attend an Arab Summit focusing on the military
intervention in Yemen.<br />
Saudi Arabia has been bombing Houthi targets since Thursday in what
they call Operation Decisive Storm, after assembling a coalition of more
than 10 countries, five of them members of the six-nation Gulf
Cooperation Council.<br />
The Houthi-run health ministry said on Friday that 39 civilians had
been killed. Amnesty International said six children were among those
killed in Sanaa on Thursday.<br />
Egyptian and Saudi warships have been deployed to the strategic
Bab al-Mandab strait, a key trade and oil route separating the Arabian
Peninsula from east Africa.<br />
An Egyptian military official told the AP news agency that two destroyers and two other vessels were at the strait.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05757587351021997145noreply@blogger.com0
