Fragile Market Risks Rise Up Corporate Agendas "IndyWatch Feed War"
The fighting in Ukraine may be far from over, yet plans are already underway for the post-war reconstruction of the country, with companies and governments set to contribute. Elsewhere, post-conflict rebuilding and recovery initiatives have made varying degrees of progress in Ethiopia, South Sudan and Iraq.
The commercial opportunities in the aftermath of wars and natural disasters can be considerable. But the fragility of these jurisdictions means multinationals must ensure their activities support stability and development, otherwise they risk seeing early business gains evaporate.
Countries recovering from destructive events are keen on foreign direct investment to rebuild shattered infrastructure and stimulate economic growth with companies able to play a constructive role in stabilization efforts. In so doing, they gain reputations as responsible economic players, winning the trust of local customers and authorities.
But corporate missteps, advertent or not, can incur operational and reputational damage particularly in post-disaster settings in the sometimes-chaotic rush to start relief and reconstruction efforts.
In the wake of the Asian tsunami, there were reports of private contractors in Indonesia using substandard building materials to increase profits. Following the Haitian earthquake, contractors came under scrutiny over the number of locals benefiting from cash-for-work programs aimed at promoting the stabilization process.
In South Sudan and Iraq, energy majors have buttressed these countries oil-and-gas-dependent economies hydrocarbon extraction helping them recover, albeit fitfully, from devastating wars. But in a number of instances, commercial engagement has come under intense scrutiny, with some firms linked to human rights abuses in South Sudan and extensive pollution in southern Iraq.
Post-conflict and post-disaster jurisdictions are some of the most challenging markets to enter from a risk perspective. Companies must identify and mitigate...

| Rugby League is Powerful Tool to unit Papua New Guinea: Marape |
The dinner, graced by the presence of Australian Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Hon. Pat Conroy, witnessed executives of major companies, Governors, Ministers, and MPs expressing their support for PNGs NRL Bid. Hon. Conroy reiterated the backing of Australian Prime Minister Hon. Anthony Albanese and his Government for this endeavor.
Drawing inspiration from a quote by Nelson Mandela, the late South African leader who eloquently stated, Sport has the power to change the world It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination, Prime Minister Marape underscored rugby leagues significance as the common denominator that has the potential to unite the nation.
In the PNG context, rugby league is the common denominator that binds and holds our society together, especially at the national level, Prime Minister Marape stated.
He further added, This is evident when our national team takes to the field. Even during challenging times, the pride of Papua New Guineans in rallying behind our national team is second to none. As the Government, we recognise that this pursuit will provide a platform to unite the most diverse nation on Planet Earth, under one flag.
The bidding process for a team in the NRL is not solely about rugby league; it is about uniting our nation behind a common focal point, Prime Minister Marape asserted.
This path will be instrumental in keeping our nation united for the next 50 years and beyond, with rugby league as our countrys number one sport...

Das Deutsche Heer am Pazifik (II) "IndyWatch Feed Niugini"
Talisman Sabre
Das Gromanver Talisman Sabre wird alle zwei Jahre durchgefhrt und findet in diesem Jahr schon das zehnte Mal statt.[1] Es handelt sich um die grte gemeinsame Kriegsbung der Streitkrfte Australiens und der Vereinigten Staaten, die nicht nur bei bungen, sondern auch in Kriegen regelmig kooperiert haben; so beteiligten sich australische Truppen an den Kriegen in Afghanistan wie auch im Irak. Talisman Sabre ist dafr gedacht, gemeinsame Operationen unterschiedlicher Teilstreitkrfte aus unterschiedlichen Staaten zu trainieren; die bung umfasst unter anderem Seeoperationen, amphibische Landungen, Operationen an Land und den Luftkampf. Beteiligt sind in diesem Jahr 13 Staaten. Den Kern bilden dabei die Streitkrfte der USA und Kanadas, Australiens und Neuseelands sowie Grobritanniens; die fnf Staaten kooperieren auen- und militrpolitisch recht eng und bilden gemeinsam das seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs ttige Geheimdienstbndnis Five Eyes. Am Manver beteiligt sind zudem Japan und Sdkorea, die ihre Zusammenarbeit mit der NATO intensivieren.[2] Darber hinaus nehmen aus der Asien-Pazifik-Region Indonesien und Papua-Neuguinea sowie die pazifischen Inselstaaten Fidschi und Tonga teil. Aus Europa sind neben deutschen auch franzsische Truppen eingetroffen; Frankreich begreift sich mit seinen Pazifik-Kolonien bis heute als pazifische Macht.[3]
Realistische bungsmglichkeiten
Talisman Sabre 2023 beginnt an diesem Samstag (22. Juli) und dauert sodann zwei Wochen bis zum 4. August. Genutzt werden zahlreiche Standorte, die sich vom Westen des Landes bis zum Nordosten ber den gesamten australischen Kontinent erstrecken; so entstehen, erlutert die Bundeswehr, realistische bungsmglichkeiten, um abzubilden, wie eine groe multinationale Streitmacht in einem weiten Einsatzgebiet funktionieren sollte.[4] Die Bundeswehr nimmt mit ber 200 Soldaten vor allem aus dem Heer, aber auch aus der Marine an dem Gromanver teil, zu dem insgesamt rund 30.000 Militrs erwartet werden. Die Heereskrfte kommen in der Masse aus dem Fallschirmjgerregiment 31, heit es bei der Bundeswehr; sie werden fr Talisman Sabre 2023 in eine multinationale Brigade integriert, die durch die Australian Army gefhrt wird. Auerdem werden Soldaten des Seebataillons der Marineinfanterie der Bundeswehr, wie die Bundeswehr schreibt bei dem Manver eingesetzt; sie werden dabei temporr den US-Marines unterstellt. Eingesetzt werden sie in der bung unter anderem bei einer amphibischen Landung. In welcher realen Situation die Bundeswehr in der Asien-Pazifik-Region bei einem Landemanver zum Einsatz kommen knnte, teilt die Bundeswehr nicht mit. Den groen politischen Rahmen spannt der Machtkampf des Westens gegen China.

Migrating orangutan males imitate locals to learn about food: Study "IndyWatch Feed Pacific"
JAKARTA Male orangutans that resettle to a new area appear to be imitating the behavior of local individuals in an effort to survive and find a future home range, a new study says. Male orangutans that have reached sexual maturity tend to leave their birthplace and migrate to find a new home where they will adopt different skills of foraging, a group of researchers from universities in Germany, France and Indonesia reported in their recently published paper in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. Theyve dubbed the behavior learning skill as peering and described it as when migrant male orangutans intensively observe over a period of time a certain local they have chosen as a role model. Over the last few years, we have gained a pretty good understanding of observational social learning in immature orangutans and other primates so far, Julia Mrchen, a Ph.D. candidate at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Konstanz, Germany, who is the lead author of the paper, told Mongabay in an email interview. However, natural learning in adult primates in the wild remains largely uninvestigated.

Our results provide evidence that in general adult male orangutans are able to learn and update their already learned knowledge repertoires, when they are confronted with a new and unknown ecology, she said.
