Norway unblocks 300 million kroner for NGOs hit by US aid freeze
Reproductive health includes all aspects of reproduction and sexuality.
President Donald Trump's administration at the end of February announced a huge cut in US foreign aid, notably suppressing 92 percent of funding for overseas programmes of the USAID agency.
"The international humanitarian system is a success," said Norway's minister for cooperation and development, Asmund Aukrust.
"Millions of lives have been saved, in part thanks to the financing and political leadership of the United States.
"We cannot accept the idea that it is a waste of money.
"But the system can be a lot more effective than it is today. Norway has long supported reform and rationalisation."
Of the emergency funding, at least 220 million kroner will be allocated to Norwegian NGOs and will be used "to protect displaced persons, children and young people, as well as against landmines and other explosives".

Some 40 million kroner will be earmarked for efforts to counter sexual and gender-based violence and access to sexual and reproductive health services during humanitarian crises.
The remaining 40 million kroner will be allocated to major shared services such as logistics and analysis in the humanitarian system, the government added.

Norway oil refinery blocked by Greta Thunberg activist group
Activists from Extinction Rebellion sat on the road, blocking the entrance to the Mongstad refinery in Bergen on Norway's southwestern coast, while kayaks and sailboats obstructed the port's entrance. "We are here because it's crystal clear that there is no future in oil. Fossil fuels lead to death and destruction," Thunberg said in a statement, adding that oil producers like Norway "have blood on their hands". The burning of fossil fuels releases planet-heating carbon emissions. Police said they were at the scene monitoring the situation from around 9am. The activists said they plan to continue with a string of protests in Norway throughout the week. Advertisement The Mongstad refinery is owned by Norwegian oil giant Equinor, which is majority-owned by the Norwegian state. The activists demanded that Norwegian politicians present "a plan to phase out oil and gas". Norway, western Europe's biggest oil and gas producer, is regularly criticised for its oil and gas production. Oslo insists its industry provides jobs and develops know-how, and stresses the importance of guaranteeing stable energy deliveries to Europe. Equinor has said it intends to keep its oil production in the country stable at 1.2 million barrels per day until 2035, and expects to produce 40 billion cubic metres of gas a year by 2035.

Norway sovereign fund drops investments in 11 Israeli companies
Nicolai Tangen, chief of Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), which manages the fund, said the decision was taken "in response to extraordinary circumstances". "The situation in Gaza is a serious humanitarian crisis. We are invested in companies that operate in a country at war, and conditions in the West Bank and Gaza have recently worsened," Tangen said in a statement. Norway's wealth fund, also known as the oil fund as it is fuelled by vast revenue from the country's energy exports, is the biggest in the world with a value of around $1.9 trillion, with investments spanning the globe. Last week, Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten reported that the fund had invested in Israeli Bet Shemesh Engines Holdings, which makes parts for engines used in Israeli fighter jets. Tangen later confirmed the reports, and said the fund had increased its stake after the Israeli offensive in Gaza began. The revelations led Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre to ask Finance Minister and former NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg for a review. Advertisement NBIM said it had investments in 61 Israeli companies at the end of the first six months of this year, 11 of which were not in its "equity benchmark index" -- which is set by the finance ministry and used to gauge the wealth fund's performance. In a statement, it added that it had decided last week that "all investments in Israeli companies that are not in the equity benchmark index will be sold as soon as possible". The fund also said that it had "long paid particular attention to companies associated with war and conflict". "Since 2020, we have been in contact with more than 60 companies to raise this issue. Of these, 39 dialogues were related to the West Bank and Gaza," NBIM said. It said that monitoring of Israeli companies had been intensified in the autumn of 2024, and that "as a result, we have sold our investments in several Israeli companies".

Norway extradites Rwanda genocide suspect
Francois Gasana, 53, was detained in Norway in 2022 by police who said at the time Kigali had accused him of "committing a murder during the 1994 genocide". An Oslo court ruled the following year that conditions had been met for his extradition. An appeal was later rejected and his extradition confirmed in June this year. An estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed over 100 days of slaughter triggered by the assassination of Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana in April 1994. Rwanda's National Public Prosecution Authority (NPPA) spokesperson Faustin Nkusi confirmed that Gasana had returned to the country "following his extraction from the Kingdom of Norway". He was "convicted and sentenced to 19 years in prison by Nyange Gacaca Court for his role in the crime of genocide," Nkusi said in a statement. In the aftermath of the genocide, Rwanda established the people's "gacaca" courts across the country, in which attackers faced their victims. Nkusi said that Gasana had lived during the genocide in Western Province and attended the Save Secondary school. But the statement gave no further details. He said that Gasana had found his own lawyer, explaining that upon a suspect's return "the Gacaca rulings are declared null and a trial starts afresh". It was unclear when the trial would begin. Nkusi praised Norway "for the extraction of genocide fugitives, continued cooperation in matters of mutual legal assistance and contribution to the global effort to fight impunity". Ahishakiye Naphtal, executive secretary of the genocide survivors' group, Ibuka, welcomed the news. Advertisement Gasana was a young man who "due to the genocide ideology he had been fed on... committed such heinous crimes," he said. However, he said that many more suspects remained at large abroad and urged other nations to act like Norway. Norwegian authorities confirmed the extradition, saying in a statement it was "in accordance with the final decision made by the king in council on 24 June 2025". Norway has seen a string of extradition requests for genocide suspects in recent years and is among half a dozen Western countries where courts have handed down convictions since 2009.
