In an effort to improve the status of nearly 10 million poor Moroccans, $6 billion have been invested, to date, in support of more than 719 anti-poverty projects. UN Secretory general(former), Ban Ki-moon appreciated the initiative of Morocco and said that it was a role model to other African countries seeking to achieve the millenium development goals. As a result, many other countries of this continent are seeking to adopt methods followed by Morocco.

The Rise and Fall of LEHMAN BROTHERS

For the year, the company reported a new record high in net income, over $4 billion. In January 2008, Lehman Brothers was the fourth-largest investment bank in the U.S. In March, immediately after Bear Stearns (the second largest holder of mortgage backed securities, right after Lehman Brothers) almost collapsed, Lehman stock dropped by almost 50%.

Beijing said it would give Hong Kong fifty years to keep its capitalist system and enjoy many freedoms not found in mainland Chinese cities. But it seems that these promises are fading. In recent years, Beijing has taken what critics say are brazen steps to encroach on Hong Kong’s political system and crack down on dissent.

In 2020, Beijing passed a controversial national security law and arrested dozens of pro-democracy activists and lawmakers, dimming hopes that Hong Kong will ever become a full-fledged democracy. Is Hong Kong part of China? Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China that has been largely free to manage its own affairs based on “one country , two systems,” a nationa...
