"Significant progress made in Qatar" said by us envoy

The US and the Afghan Taliban have made "significant progress" in talks aimed at ending the 17-year-old conflict in Afghanistan, the US envoy has said. In a series of tweets, Zalmay Khalilzad did not give details but said the unprecedented six days of talks in Qatar were "more productive than they have been in the past". He said he was on his way to Kabul to consult Afghan government officials. Earlier, Taliban sources said the two sides had finalised a draft agreement. The deal calls for a withdrawal of foreign forces in return for assurances that al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (IS) group will not be allowed to use Afghanistan as a base, the sources said. Mr Khalilzad said talks with the Taliban would continue and that nothing had been finalised.

Immediate past governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim moves to accord


Immediate past governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, has again shifted base from the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA to Accord to actualise his plans for a second term. 


Vanguard gathered Tuesday in Owerri that Ohakim who failed in his bid to obtain the governorship ticket of APGA now wants to actualise his ambition on the platform of Accord. Ohakim served as governor of Imo State between 2007 and 2011 and lost his second term bid to the incumbent, Owelle Rochas Okorocha. Ohakim was first elected on the platform of the Progressives Peoples Alliance, PPA and in 2009 he defected to his original party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. His failure to get the PDP governorship ticket upon the political ascendancy of Hon. Emeka Ihedioha had caused him to defect to APGA. While in 2015, Ohakim, stepped out again to try his return to government house, he was defeated in the contentious PDP, primaries where the former Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha, clinched the ticket. Two days ago it also emerged that Ohakim had again lost the governorship ticket and this time to Senator Ifeanyi Ararume from the same Imo North Senatorial district. The development Vanguard gathered spurred the former governor to go for Accord.

Meeting between trump us President and Kim jong-un

The much-anticipated meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will take place at a hotel on the Singaporean island of Sentosa, the White House has confirmed. The 12 June summit was called off two weeks ago by Mr Trump but has since been salvaged after a flurry of contacts between the two sides. Mr Trump said on Tuesday that plans were "moving along very nicely". The US wants Mr Kim to commit to giving up his nuclear weapons. But it is unclear exactly what is on the table for the discussions in Singapore. Mr Trump has suggested the first meeting will kick off a longer process of negotiations, calling it a "get-to-know-you situation". "A lot of relationships being built, a lot of negotiations going on before the trip," he told reporters on Tuesday. "It's very important - it'll be a very important couple of days." The summit would represent the first ever meeting between a North Korean lea...
