内容摘要:Financial analyst Robert Scott told Al Jazeera the tariffs failed to deliver tangible results even in Trump’s first term. “Most of those tariffs did not see the US trade position improve,” he said. “US trade deficits continued to grow and China’s exports to the world kept rising. They simply rerouted goods through other countries.”

Financial analyst Robert Scott told Al Jazeera the tariffs failed to deliver tangible results even in Trump’s first term. “Most of those tariffs did not see the US trade position improve,” he said. “US trade deficits continued to grow and China’s exports to the world kept rising. They simply rerouted goods through other countries.”

Finnish food company Fazer, which owns Geisha chocolate, reiterated that it had permanently left Russia.“According to the information that we received during spring 2023 from Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE, the products still sold in Russia have entered the Russian market via Finland and Estonia, and they have been transported by private Russian citizens. Unfortunately, it is impossible for us to stop the trade when it comes to isolated cases,” the company told Al Jazeera in a statement.

“Fazer exports some small amounts of products to Central Asia but there are no such sudden increases in these amounts, which could imply that products actually end up in Russia through these channels. If we detect that there is a customer who actively and professionally exports products, then we will intervene.”Other brands identified in this story did not respond to requests for comment.In an analysis published in December, researchers at the Kyiv School of Economics found that customs data showed the “robust efforts” of many companies to “maintain their commitments and ethical standards”, and that companies that announced their complete exit from Russia had significantly reduced direct shipments of goods to the country.

However, in some cases, a brand’s exit appears to have been largely ceremonial.While L’Occitane no longer directly supplies its Russian partners, the French brand continues to be imported to Russia in significant quantities.

L’Occitane’s former Russian subsidiary now belongs to local management. But the subsidiary has pledged shares to L’Occitane International as collateral and L’Occitane International has a call-option to buy the subsidiary back during a five-year period starting in June 2025.

L'Occitane's former subsidiary receives its cosmetics almost exclusively via one company, Smart Beauty LLC - a contrast from the typical scenario involving parallel imports, where numerous small suppliers are involved.From Shakahola to Migori

The events in Migori have opened wounds for many survivors and relatives of the 429 people who were starved to death in Kilifi County’s Shakahola, in 2023.Led by Pastor Paul McKenzie, the congregants there also left their families and abandoned property, seeking to go to heaven and meet their messiah. But news reports said that at the church, they were radicalised and brainwashed, convinced that if they stopped eating they would die peacefully, go to heaven and meet their god.

Both Grace Kazungu’s parents and two of her siblings perished in the Shakhola church cult, says the 32-year-old mother of three from Kilifi.Whenever she and her brother tried to question the church’s teachings, the others would not hear a word against it, she told Al Jazeera.
