The British shift angered Algeria, Morocco’s regional rival, which in a statement on Sunday blasted Morocco’s plan as “empty of content and incapable of contributing to a serious and credible settlement of the conflict.”

At least 500 households across three communities were affected by the sudden and intense flood that built rapidly in about five hours, leaving roofs barely visible and surviving residents waist-deep in water, trying to salvage what they could and rescue others.Husseini added that two roads were washed away and two bridges collapsed.

In a statement on Friday night, President Bola Tinubu expressed condolences and said he had directed the activation of an emergency response to support victims and “accelerate” recovery.Flooding is common during Nigeria’s wet season. Communities in northern Nigeria have been experiencing prolonged dry spells worsened by climate change and excessive rainfall that leads to severe flooding during the brief wet season. But this flood has been particularly deadly in Mokwa, a farming region near the banks of the River Niger.Mokwa community leader Aliki Musa said the villagers are not used to such flooding.

The chairman of the Mokwa local government area, Jibril Muregi, told local news website Premium Times that construction of flood-control works was long overdue.RABAT, Morocco (AP) — The United Kingdom on Sunday became the latest country to back Morocco’s position on the disputed Western Sahara, calling its plan to keep the territory under Moroccan control “the most credible, viable and pragmatic” way to resolve the decades-long conflict.

At a joint press conference in Morocco’s capital, British Foreign Minister David Lammy said the United Kingdom was changing its position to support Morocco’s plan to offer the area limited autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty. He and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita lauded the two countries’ ties on security and trade, noting Morocco’s role as co-host of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

“The time for a resolution and to move this issue forward is long-overdue, and would strengthen the stability of North Africa,” Lammy said.“Poder vivir mi fe en este campus extremadamente secular es una gran bendición para mí", dijo el estudiante Daniel Vanisko, un católico de toda la vida, agregando más tarde en un correo electrónico que la elección del papa “realmente me ayuda a acercarme más a mi fe, viendo que alguien que creció en el mismo estado que yo, es el sucesor de Pedro en la Iglesia”.

Cavan Morber, un estudiante de tercer año, dijo que asistir a la UIUC “me da la oportunidad de ser desafiado en mis creencias, pensar críticamente sobre lo que creo y compartir mi fe con otros”.Preguntado en un intercambio de correos electrónicos sobre la elección del papa, Morber respondió: "¡Qué momento para estar vivo!”.

“Tengo esperanza de que él podrá unir a la Iglesia en un momento de mucha división entre los católicos y todos alrededor del mundo”, agregó Morber.La cobertura de religión de The Associated Press recibe apoyo a través de la colaboración de AP con The Conversation US, con financiamiento de Lilly Endowment Inc.
