Morocco is in the global spotlight this weekend for two very different reasons—both tied to the same themes of ambition and visibility. On the business front, Morocco Strategic Minerals Corporation (TSXV: MCC) has closed a C$600,000 private placement aimed at accelerating exploration and portfolio development across Morocco and Québec, reinforcing the steady flow of capital into early-stage “strategic minerals” plays.

Internet Access in Malawi: Infrastructure, Penetration, and Future Outlook

Internet Access in Malawi: Infrastructure, Penetration, and Future Outlook

The national fiber-optic backbone, about 1,300 km long, was completed in 2018 by Huawei to connect major cities and border links in Malawi. In July 2023, ESCOM linked Malawi to Tanzania’s national broadband backbone, a move expected to lower international bandwidth costs and extend connectivity to rural areas. In 2023, Liquid Intelligent Technologies launched a new fiber route between Zambia and Malawi to provide faster, more direct access to backbones and data centers. As of early 2025, Malawi had 13.2 million active mobile cellular connections, representing about 60.3% of the population, with more than 90% on 3G or 4G networks.

British American Tobacco (BATS, BTI) Extends £1.3bn Buyback and Reaffirms 2026 Guidance – What It Means for the Stock Now

British American Tobacco p.l.c. (LSE: BATS, NYSE: BTI) has packed a lot into December so far: a full‑year 2025 pre‑close trading update, an extended £1.3bn share buyback for 2026, and the sale of most of its stake in India’s ITC Hotels to cut debt. All of this lands after a huge rerating in 2025, raising the obvious question: after a 40–50% share price recovery, is BAT still an income bargain, or mostly “ex‑growth cash cow”? Below is a rundown of the latest numbers, news and analyst forecasts as of 10 December 2025. Share price snapshot: BATS in London, BTI in
