Woman says Al Fayed’s brother drugged and sexually abused her at Highland estate

Jill, a former young Harrods employee whose name has been changed for legal reasons, says she was recruited in the 1990s for what she believed was an executive training scheme and flown twice by private jet to Balnagown estate in the Scottish Highlands. She accuses Salah Fayed, Mohamed Al Fayed’s brother, of drugging, sexually assaulting and imprisoning her after luring her under false pretences. Hundreds of women have alleged abuse by the Fayed brothers; Salah died of pancreatic cancer in 2010, and Mohamed Al Fayed died in 2023. Police Scotland says three people have been identified in connection with offences against a number of victims at Balnagown and inquiries are ongoing.

Djibo Sounkalo Municipal High School in Bouaké: Alumni Association President Juste Bohoussou Issues a Call

Former students of Djibo Sounkalo Municipal High School in Bouaké gathered on October 31, 2026, at the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium conference hall to revive their alumni association and strengthen ties across generations. Association president Juste Bohoussou urged the platform’s 732 virtual members to become actively involved, including by paying the 2,000 CFA franc membership fee and the 5,000 CFA franc annual dues. Graduating classes represented ranged from 1963 to 2024, and the association aims to reconnect with former students who have drifted away and involve every generation. Attendees included Ambassador Daouda Diabaté, former minister Siguidé Soumahoro, comedian Bamba Bakary and General Chérif Ousmane.

Women in Politics: Beyond Quotas, the Challenge of Social Transformation (Op-Ed)

In Benin, the number of women in parliament has risen from six in 2019 to 28, a gain attributed to legal representation mechanisms. On October 25, 2026, in Savalou, National Assembly President Joseph Fifamin Djogbénou urged the Caucus of Women MPs to become a “public action group” promoting girls’ education, economic empowerment and women’s access to leadership. The op-ed suggests considering measures that reserve a share of public procurement for women-led businesses, drawing cautiously on initiatives in Togo and Nigeria’s Kaduna State. It argues that quotas should lead to tangible economic opportunities for women beyond their institutional representation.
