LONDON - Prince Harry has settled the remainder of his lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers over phone-hacking and other unlawful acts after the publisher agreed to pay substantia­l damages and his legal costs, his lawyer told London’s high court yesterday.

In December, the high court ruled that Harry had been a victim of unlawful informatio­n gathering including phone-hacking by journalist­s on the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People tabloids with the knowledge of their editors.

However, that judgment only considered 33 of 148 articles Harry had complained about, ruling in his favour over 15 of these. His Lawyer David Sherborne told the court MGN had now conceded the rest of his claim.

DAKAR – “The undercover police are everywhere,” warns Moma Diouf, lowering his voice.

“They dress like civilians, pretending to sell coffee, striking up conversati­ons about politics. The next thing you know, they’ve called officers nearby. You’re taken away, beaten and thrown in jail indefinite­ly.”

Speaking in the private upstairs room of a cafe in Médina, a district of Dakar, Senegal, Diouf, 30, is describing the fresh realities of life in a country that until recently was seen as a beacon for freedom in Africa’s increasing­ly turbulent Sahel region.

Six days have passed since President Macky Sall stunned the nation by abruptly postponing elections scheduled for this month, plunging the west African state into a tense standoff between an unpopular president and many who accuse him of a constituti­onal coup.

Internatio­nal pressure, led by the EU and US, has had no apparent impact. Instead, Sall’s government has doubled down, and is alleged to have been secretly rounding up dozens of pro-democracy protesters it wants silenced.
