In Brazil, football has become a state affair
Brazil’s Supreme Court yesterday ordered Ednaldo Rodrigues to be reinstated as president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, the CBF. The preliminary judgment of Judge Gilmar Mendes annuls a prior judgment which had removed from office the first black director of the CBF. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the case, writes the site CNN Brazil. In fact, according to the site Futsport, it was the Brazilian Communist Party which appealed to the Supreme Court after the dismissal of Ednaldo Rodrigues from the presidency of the CBF by a court in Rio de Janeiro. The party feared that this decision would have consequences for the Seleçao’s future competitions, starting with the pre-Olympic tournament organized from January 21 to February 11 in Venezuela.
In Haiti, the hospital sector faces a staff shortage
This is the case of the State University Hospital of Haiti. According to Gazette Haitimanagement is concerned about the “ massive flight of its medical and administrative staff “. More than 14% of the hospital’s nursing staff have already fled the country. In pediatrics and surgery departments, 60% have even left their position to live abroad. According to director Jude Milcé, it is especially young doctors who are turning their backs on Haiti. A situation which now makes it impossible to provide a medical service worthy of the name to the population.
Will things improve in Haiti in 2024? The newspaper editorialist The National don’t really believe it. 2023 was a year “ great suffering », Estimates the daily. “ The economy contracted again, […] the housewife’s basket empties every day “, not to mention the insecurity caused by gangs who control the roads and practice extortion, which reduces access to food and commodities on the markets. “ The fight between power and opposition takes place without concession », continues The National, but also without imagining a solution to get out of the crisis. The danger is that everyone adapts to this situation. But even though, ” 2024 remains the year of all possibilities », concludes The National.
