Description

Critics say South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s State of the Nation Address glossed over the country’s many problems. UNICEF reports 300 days of conflict in Sudan have unleashed a wave of atrocities on children, with many suffering from hunger, violence and horrific abuse. Some Arab-American and Palestinian-Americans are urging others to express their disapproval with the Biden administration for supporting Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.
