And finally… transfer without consideration

The EU’s decision to gift 250 camels to a country known for having millions of camels has been derided by locals.

The animals will be deployed in Mauritania’s military camel cavalry units, but critics took to social media to say they would have preferred a high-tech contribution.

“Instead of giving us radars, air defence systems, missiles or advanced communication systems, they give us camels,” one wrote, according to Sahara Media.

Others questioned where the camels came from, with one writing: “The EU has camels too?”
