#South_Africa deploys soldiers to the streets to tackle organized and violent crime
Soldiers were deployed to the streets of South Africa’s biggest city Wednesday in an effort to help police fight gang violence and illegal mining.
It was the first major deployment since President Cyril #Ramaphosa said in his annual speech to the nation last month that he would use the army against organized crime, which he called the greatest threat to democracy and the country’s economic development.
Soldiers jumped from vehicles and entered apartment blocks as military vehicles moved through the #Riverlea and #Westbury suburbs of #Johannesburg.
Many residents of Riverlea expressed relief to see soldiers deployed to stem the violence.

Un nuovo capitolo strategico tra Việt Nam e Sudafrica
La visita di Stato del Presidente sudafricano Cyril Ramaphosa a Hà Nội (23-24 ottobre) segna una svolta storica nelle relazioni tra i due Paesi. Dopo decenni di cooperazione politica ed economica, il Việt Nam e il Sudafrica si preparano a elevare il loro rapporto a Partenariato Strategico entro il 2025, fondato su fiducia politica, sviluppo sostenibile e convergenza multilaterale.
Le radici del legame risalgono alla solidarietà anticoloniale e al movimento afro-asiatico, ma oggi la partnership guarda al futuro: energie rinnovabili, digitalizzazione, infrastrutture, finanza verde e libero scambio con la SACU.
Il Việt Nam si conferma ponte tra Asia e Africa, mentre il Sudafrica punta a rafforzare il proprio ruolo di hub continentale.
Entrambi i Paesi condividono una visione del Sud Globale unito, promotore di un ordine internazionale più equo, basato su cooperazione, legalità e rispetto reciproco.
La dichiarazione congiunta del 24 ottobre non chiude un ciclo, ma ne apre uno nuovo: quello di una cooperazione Sud-Sud più matura, fondata su principi, pragmatismo e ambizioni globali comuni.
