Aberdeen star in loan exit despite Jimmy Thelin praise
The Dutch winger heads to the Finnish top flight side until January after finding himself surplus to requirements at Pittodrie once more. After signing in 2022, the 24-year-old has found it difficult to become a regular and has had two loans back in the Netherlands with Excelsior Rotterdam and Emmen. He was back with the Scottish Cup winners last season and scored two goals in 11 Premiership appearances. He now heads back out in search of more regular football despite being praised for his work rate by [[Aberdeen]] manager Jimmy Thelin. Read more: As the Helsinki loan was announced, the Swede said: 'Vicente's worked hard in pre-season and he has a clear desire to play regularly at this stage of his career. 'While we haven't been able to promise him that at Aberdeen, we believe this is the right opportunity for him to secure regular time on the pitch. 'With our club being very familiar with HJK from the relationships that have developed previously, and having recently dealt with them over the arrival of Topi Keskinen, we know they have a very good environment. "This move should provide Vicente the game time he needs in a competitive league with a team who have European football to look forward to and we hope it is the perfect platform for him to flourish.' Besuijen has 11 goals from 57 appearances to date at Aberdeen.

Panama dam project sparks fury
Vicente, one of Olegario's children, standing in his canoe in a river near the small town Boca del Uracillo, in Cocle province, Panama. — AFP MAGDALENA Martinez has lived next to the Indio River all her life, but a planned dam aimed at shielding the Panama Canal from drought now threatens to swallow her home. The 49-year-old is one of hundreds of residents opposed to a new artificial lake that would feed the vital interoceanic waterway at the centre of diplomatic tensions with the United States. 'I feel sick about this threat we're facing,' said Martinez, who shares her wooden house with a metal roof with her husband and five of her 13 children in Boca de Uracillo. 'We don't know where we're going to go,' she said. Martinez's entire family was born in the small village surrounded by lush mountains, whose residents earn a living growing crops, including cassava and corn, and raising animals. The community says it is determined to prevent its homes being sacrificed to help the world's multi-billion dollar global shipping industry. A sign that reads 'Rivers Without Dams' hangs in the small town of Limon. 'We have to fight to the end,' said 44-year-old resident Yturbide Sanchez. Hundreds of flag-waving villagers in motorised canoes navigated the Indio River last month to protest the planned dam, which would force thousands of families to relocate. 'We don't want them to take away the river water – we need it,' said 48-year-old farmer Ariel Troya. 'If the project goes ahead, it will take away our entire future,' Troya added. The Panama Canal Authority (ACP), the autonomous public entity that operates the waterway, decided to build the reservoir to cope with severe droughts like the one seen in 2023, which forced a drastic reduction in ship traffic. The century-old shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans relies on once-abundant rainwater stored in two artificial lakes that also supply drinking water. Used mainly by customers from the United States, China and Japan, the canal operates by using a system of locks to raise and lower ships and releases millions of litres of fresh water for each vessel that passes. The planned new reservoir covering around 4,600ha would supply water through a 9km tunnel to one of the existing lakes. The project 'meets a need identified a long time ago: it's the water of the future,' said Karina Vergara, an environmental and social manager at the ACP. Work is expected to begin in 2027 and be completed by 2032, with an investment of approximately US$1.6bil. Of that, US$400mil is earmarked to compensate and relocate around 2,500 people from several villages. An aerial view of the village of La Boca de Uracillo. The village will be destroyed when the dam is built. — AFP 'We have a firm commitment to dialogue and reaching agreements' with those affected, Vergara said. If the reservoir isn't built, 'we'll regret it in 15 years,' she said. Civil society groups warn that in total around 12,000 people could be affected by the project – which has the backing of President Jose Raul Mulino – since it would affect the entire Indio River basin. The 80km-long Panama Canal handles 6% of global maritime trade and is the engine of the Panamanian economy. It is also at the centre of a diplomatic row due to US President Donald Trump's repeated threats to 'take back' the waterway – which was handed over to Panama in 1999 – from alleged Chinese control. In the village of Limon, about 15 minutes from Boca de Uracillo by motorised canoe, residents also refuse to abandon their homes. 'We're not going to leave. They'll have to remove us by force,' said Maricel Sanchez, a 25-year-old university student. Villagers are relying on their lands to see them through retirement, farmer Olegario Cedeno said in the house where he lives with his wife and three children, surrounded by chickens, hens and parrots. 'We will give our lives in this fight.' — AFP
