Introduction En 1960, dix-sept pays africains accédaient à l'indépendance. Trente-quatre au total durant la décennie. Ce fut l'année symbole d'une génération politique, celle des drapeaux neufs, des hymnes et des Constitutions qui portaient la promesse d'un État souverain. Soixante-cinq ans plus tard, les trajectoires de ces pays se ressemblent autant qu'elles diffèrent.

• Global watchdog ranks country 27th out of 100 • India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh fared better • China, Iran and Russia at bottom ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has been ranked 27th out of 100 — ‘Not Free’ — in terms of internet freedom by a global democracy watchdog in a recent report, which cited government measures to expand censorship practices. During June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025, the report issued by the US-based Freedom House noted that the authorities threatened to block virtual private networks (VPNs) and adopted amendments to the country’s cybercrime law that rights groups said could be abused. On the other hand, countries like India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh are markedly more open, classified as ‘Partly Free’, with much higher freedom scores of 51, 53, and 45, respectively. The watchdog was unable to track Afghanistan’s score. The countries placed at the bottom are China, Myanmar, Iran and Russia with scores of 9, 9, 13¸and 17, respectively.

• Seniority principle seen flouted as ex-CB judges sidelined • Lawyers fear judges chosen for loyalty, not competence • Five judges boycott oath-taking ceremony • President accepts Mansoor, Minallah resignations; lawyers hail duo as ‘national heroes’ • Full court skips FCC, resignations issue; okays SC Rules ISLAMABAD: The Federal Consti­tutional Court (FCC) formally commenced on Friday after its chief justice and four judges took oath, though the proceedings were overshadowed by a boycott from five senior judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) and questions are being raised over what principle, if any, guided these appointments. Critics point out that if seniority was the yardstick, none of the appointees — except Justice Aminuddin Khan, who has been elevated as chief justice of the FCC — is senior to members of the now-defunct Constitutional Bench (CB) of the Supreme Court, several of whom have been ignored.

Crypto sentiment platform Santiment warned that when many people start calling a crypto market bottom, it’s wise to stay skeptical. Crypto market lows are unlikely to form at moments when many analysts and traders are calling for one, according to crypto sentiment platform Santiment. “Be cautious when you see a widespread consensus forming about a specific price bottom,” Santiment said in a report on Saturday, adding that “true bottoms often form when the majority expects prices to fall further.” Santiment said that this has recently emerged as a trending topic on social media after Bitcoin (BTC) briefly fell below $95,000 on Friday amid a wider technology stock decline. “This suggests many traders believe the worst is over,” Santiment said, arguing that historically such sentiment is often followed by further downside.
