Eritrea: Training on Organic Fertilizer and Pesticide Production
A training program on the production of organic fertilizers and pesticides was held in Sawa from 27 April to 3 May for members of the national service training center. The theoretical and practical sessions were organized by the Ministry of Agriculture under the theme 'Our Waste is Our Resource.' Mr. Dermas Siltan, one of the trainers, said the training focused on the production of solid and liquid fertilizers, natural pesticides, and livestock treatment methods, while also addressing the impacts of chemical pesticides. He noted that this training would greatly enhance soil fertility and agricultural productivity. Lt. Col. Andebrhan Tedros, Chairman of the committee overseeing the program, stressed the importance of utilizing locally available materials for producing organic fertilizers and pesticides. Trainees, in turn, called for similar training programs to be extended nationwide, for greater control over the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and for the provision of organic alternatives to farmers at fair prices.

The Ultimate Guide to Ramadan Tents & Experiences for 2025
These 7 Ramadan hotspots are your ticket to great food, peak vibes, and at least one dramatic tanoura performance. Mar 04, 2025 No one truly grasps the power of Ramadan tents. Sure, some call them festive dining spots, but let's be real—they're your ultimate Ramadan escape. You dodge family iftars where your aunt cross-examines your life choices like a court hearing, avoid the post-meal dishwashing trap, and, most importantly, have a neutral zone to meet that one person who ghosted you for seven months but suddenly resurfaces with a 'yalla neftar youm ma' ba'd?' text. Plus, you get endless food, over-the-top décor, and a guy spinning in circles for 20 minutes without passing out. Best of all? No one judges when you order a second kunafa—if anything, they respect it. The funny thing is, despite the name, not all of these "tents" are actual tents. Some are full-blown palaces because in Egypt, we break our fast in venues fancy enough to host international peace talks. Some scream luxury, others turn into full-on concerts, and a few will have you wondering if you came for sohour or accidentally walked into a live reenactment of 1001 Nights. Whether you're looking to catch up with friends, impress your boss at a corporate iftar, or just enjoy a guilt-free meal without explaining your entire life story to nosy relatives, we've got you covered. Here are the top Ramadan tents you need to check out this year. Sawa | Muhammad Ali Palace Step into history with Sawa, set in the breathtaking Muhammad Ali Palace. Picture breaking your fast surrounded by Ottoman architecture, golden chandeliers, and walls that have probably witnessed centuries of royal gossip. The setting alone makes you feel like you should be sipping karkade in a velvet robe. If you've ever wanted to feel like Ramadan royalty (without actually ruling anything), this is your spot. Layalina Tent | Baron Palace Ramadan is already magical, but having iftar at Baron Palace? That's just showing off. Layalina transforms one of Egypt's most fascinating landmarks into an Arabian Nights fantasy, complete with candlelit tables, plush cushions, and a menu that'll make you forget you swore to "eat light" this year. The only thing missing is a genie granting unlimited kunafa wishes (though, honestly, the waiter might if you ask nicely). El Mashrafia | Grand Egyptian Museum Curated by Fairmont Nile City, so you already know it's top-tier. Located at the Grand Egyptian Museum, El Mashrafia offers iftar and sohour with unreal pyramid views. This is where you go if you want your meal with a side of 'Wow, our ancestors really built that with their bare hands?' Just be warned—if you bring someone who just discovered the pyramids, prepare for a meal-long deep dive into wild conspiracy theories about 'the secret energy of the Sphinx.' Babbo's | West El Balad Babbo's is here for the vibes. Located in West El Balad, this spot blends authentic Egyptian street food with a modern twist. Less extravagant chandeliers, more late-night storytelling and loud laughter over foul and ta'ameya. The perfect mix of real and a little extra flair. Noisette Experience | Hilton Alexandria Corniche Every year, Noisette casually dominates the Ramadan tent scene. It's not just about food—it's a show. Expect live performances, surprise acts, and entertainment that makes you wonder if you accidentally stepped into a private concert. If you like your sohour with a side of spectacle, this is where you need to be. Wanasa Tent | New Giza If you've ever suffered through an awkward work iftar where people overcompensate with small talk or go completely silent while attacking the sambousek, Wanasa is here to change that. Set in New Giza, it's elegant without being too stiff, lively without being overwhelming, and spacious enough to fit the entire finance department and the marketing team that never responds to emails. Fawanees Tent | Four Seasons Alexandria For when you want to do sohour with a Mediterranean breeze instead of someone's shisha smoke in your face. Fawanees at Four Seasons Alexandria serves up immaculate food, a chic setup, and a vibe that makes you feel like you should be discussing international business affairs over qamar el deen. Hekayat Ramadan | Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski Some Ramadan nights you forget, and some become the ones you'll be telling for years- Hekayat Ramadan at Kempinski guarantees the latter. Between the glowing lights, the music, and a feast so good it deserves its own novel, this isn't just a sohour, it's the kind of night that unfolds like a perfect story (pun intended).

Jordana Brewster on Dwayne Johnson returning for 'Fast 11' after Vin Diesel feud: 'The more the merrier'
Jordana Brewster knows she has the "girl next door" roles down. That's why she was excited to take on a new character in the slasher rom-com Heart Eyes. Brewster plays Detective Jeanine Shaw, who is determined to find the "Heart Eyes Killer," a masked assailant wreaking havoc in Seattle, Wash. The killer stalks and murders romantic couples on Valentine's Day. Brewster told Yahoo Entertainment she enjoyed playing a character outside her norm. "I think for so long I was playing like the nice girl and the next girl door — and it's so boring! This was so much fun," she said. But not all of her "good girl" parts are boring to Brewster, as she'll soon reprise her role as Mia Toretto in Fast X: Part 2. Vin Diesel recently announced the 11th installment of the long-running franchise will film in L.A. after Brewster had the idea to bring production back home amid the devastating wildfires. Although the actress "can't share anything" about the new movie, she confirmed Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will return as Hobbs. "I'm super excited that Dwayne's back," she said. Johnson and Diesel's infamous fallout rocked the Fast universe, but Johnson still appeared at the end of Fast X. The two came face-to-face at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 5, and while that slightly awkward exchange was not planned, the two have time to bury the hatchet before production resumes. Fan-favorite Gal Godot will also return to the franchise. "I just think the more the merrier," Brewster told Yahoo. "We've assembled such an awesome team of people and so hopefully, we all get a lovely send-off." Brewster's Heart Eyes co-star Devon Sawa, who also plays a detective in the film, was on hand for the interview and interjected with a very important question. "Is Luda back?" Sawa asked, referring to Ludacris. "He's one of my favorites," Brewster confirmed. "He's the best," Sawa said.. "I love him so much," Brewster agreed. "He's such an underrated rapper, he should be on everybody's top 10 list. He's amazing," Sawa said. Brewster laughed that Ludacris is "not underrated." "He's killing it!" she declared. "He's crushing, but whenever someone does a top 10 list he's never [on it]," Sawa lamented. "He's great. He's amazing. He should be on everybody's top 10 list." is in theaters on Friday, Feb. 7.
