She would have her meal, and for what I then thought was an overkill, she would begin singing, Bamubamu la yoAwa o mo p’ebiNpo’mo…

Lords checkmate Rwanda plan!
The U.K.’s Upper House has passed five amendments on the Rwanda bill. If the amendments are ratified, it would make it harder for the lower house to declare Rwanda a “safe” country. It would therefore require the government to comply with domestic and in international laws. The amendments would also severely affect the main purpose…

Trump’s claims of a migrant crime wave are not supported by national data

Why protecting kids is making them fragile

Alaru ati Buredi! Porter and Bread!! Adewale Sobowale
