Give Us: President Buhari - Dead or Alive?...Read It All On Tafia World

 

Two major issues dominated public discourse in the past week. First, is the raging rumour on the “death”, or otherwise, of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is officially said to be on a 10-day vacation in the United Kingdom.

Setback for Trump: Appeals court rejects demand to resume travel ban -- for now read all on Tafia world.

Sunday morning denied the US government's emergency request to resume President Donald Trump's travel ban.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has asked for both sides to file legal briefs before the court makes its final decision after a federal judge halted the program on Friday.

What this means is that the ruling by US District Court Judge James Robart, who suspended the ban, will remain in place -- for now.

The US Justice Department filed an appeal just after midnight Sunday, asking to pause Robart's sweeping decision that temporarily halted enforcement of several key provisions of Trump's executive order.

The order bars citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries -- Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen -- from entering the US for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely halts refugees from Syria.
