July 2025 News Archive – Africa Daily News Highlights

If you’re scrolling through July’s stories on Africa Daily News, you’ll notice three very different headlines that still share a common thread: they each affect everyday life. From remembering a seasoned professional to spotting a possible football bargain and seeing how fuel costs stay steady in an Indian city, there’s something for every curious reader.

Obituary: Herman Uhr’s Life and Legacy

First up, the site paid tribute to Herman Uhr, who passed away at 87. He wasn’t just a name on a tombstone; he spent his life moving between Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and Hollywood, Florida, building a career that touched many. His sons Paul and Alan, along with longtime companion Freda Kale, are left remembering his personal warmth and professional achievements. The article gives a clear snapshot of his contributions without getting lost in fluff—just the facts you’d want to know about someone who made an impact.

Sports Scoop: Arsenal Eyes Javi Guerra

Switching gears, football fans got a tasty rumor that Arsenal is targeting Valencia’s rising midfielder Javi Guerra. Even though his release clause sits at €100 million, insiders say the Gunners could snag him for under €30 million. That’s a huge discount in transfer talk and comes just as Arsenal plans to refresh its midfield after the exits of Partey and Jorginho. The piece also notes that Aston Villa is circling the same player, adding a bit of drama to the summer window.

What does this mean for fans? If the deal goes through, you could see a fresh playing style at the Emirates next season, and Valencia would have to rebuild without one of their brightest prospects. The article sticks to the core details—price speculation, club motives, and the wider market context—so readers get a quick yet complete picture.

Fuel Focus: Kolkata Petrol Prices Hold Steady

The third story takes us far from football fields to Kolkata’s fuel stations. As of July 1, 2025, petrol is still priced at ₹103.94 per litre, even though the central government raised excise duty by ₹2 per litre back in April. How did the price stay flat? The report points out that stable tax policy and careful distribution controls helped offset global crude volatility.

For everyday commuters, this means a little breathing room in their monthly budget. For policymakers, it shows that strategic tax timing can soften the blow of higher duties. The piece avoids jargon and simply explains why the price didn’t jump as many expected.

All three articles together give July a mix of personal reflection, sports excitement, and practical economics. Whether you’re mourning a legacy, dreaming about next‑season football line‑ups, or watching your fuel meter, Africa Daily News keeps the coverage clear, concise, and useful.
