Zimbabwean President Returns Home amid Protests

Newsday

Available for over a year

Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa has cut short his foreign trip, where he was also due to go to the economic summit in Davos, following the protests sparked by the hike in the price of fuel. Another prominent Democrat, Senator Kamala Harris, has entered the race for the 2020 US presidential election. And a revised version of the periodic table has been published showing the remaining availability of some 90 elements as demand for them, including for mobile phones for example, increases.
