Late Post: The Brandenburg Gate is Berlin's most famous landmark and a must-see for all visitors. A symbol of German division during the Cold War, it is now a national symbol of peace and unity.
HIV remains one of the most dangerous and preventable public health crises in sub-Saharan Africa. Our team at

In sub-Saharan Africa, 6 in 7 new HIV infections among adolescents are among girls.

General Sheegow, a true patriot who selflessly served his country Somalia, deserves justice and fair treatment. It is deeply concerning to hear that he has been unjustly arrested for 9 days and subjected to psychological torture in his cell.
False allegations reported by

Recent report from

must end. Luul AbdiAziz's tragic death is a reminder of the urgent need for action to protect minority women from abuse. It's time for the government to step up and prioritize the safety and well-being of all its citizens.
Recognizing that systemic discrimination poses barriers to life-saving services, I advocated for policy adjustments and emphasized the significance of equitable healthcare delivery.
