Landlords in the Finnish capital region say falling rent prices are no longer the central challenge in securing tenants instead, they blame a growing shortage of “reliable” applicants amid an oversaturated housing market. Juha Parviainen, a seasoned property investor with over 20 years in the field, shared his frustration after one of his apartments in East Helsinki remained vacant for months despite a significant rent reduction. “I’ve already lowered the rent by 10 percent, but it’s still hard to find a suitable tenant,” Parviainen told Amnewsworld. “It’s not the price anymore.” He said that scheduled apartment viewings frequently result in…

A disturbing trend of xenophobic harassment against Israeli tourists has been unfolding across Greece over the past week, raising serious concerns about the safety of visitors amid intensifying pro-Palestinian activism. On July 22, an Israeli-owned cruise ship carrying approximately 1,600 passengers was barred from docking at the Greek island of Syros after being confronted by around 200 pro-Palestinian demonstrators. The protest, described by eyewitnesses as “coordinated and hostile,” forced the ship to change course and head to Cyprus instead. The same night, a violent episode unfolded on the island of Rhodes, where a group of Israeli teenagers were reportedly pursued…

Deepening unrest is surfacing from Syria’s coastal regions, where members of the Alawite minority community have issued alarming accusations against the very institutions tasked with protecting them. According to residents, what began as governmental neglect has morphed into systemic ethnic cleansing, arbitrary detentions, and widespread terror allegedly carried out by the Ministry of Defense and state-backed militias. In firsthand accounts reaching Amnewsworld, Alawites on the coast describe a reality in which they can no longer leave their homes due to rampant kidnappings that, they say, are perpetrated not by foreign actors but by the Syrian Ministry of Defense itself. “Here…

There’s an Akan proverb that says, “Sɛ ɛfie porɔ a, saa na ɔman no nso yɛ,” meaning: if the home is rotten, so will be the nation. Ghana, once the hope of a continent and the beacon of black sovereignty, is fast becoming a shell of its former self  stripped of vision, looted of dignity, and betrayed by those sworn to protect its soul. “When you cut out the brain, strength is useless.” That is Ghana today, a nation with boundless potential, abundant natural wealth, and a youthful population, yet crippled by a failure to think, plan, and preserve. What…

The European hornet, Vespa crabro the largest wasp species in Europe is spreading steadily across Finland, marking a significant shift in the nation’s insect landscape, researchers have confirmed.

The annual spiritual pilgrimage to honour Erzulie Dantor and the Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel took a dramatic detour this year, as thousands of Haitian faithful climbed a steep hill in rural Port-au-Prince instead of gathering at the traditional site of Saut-d’Eau. For decades, the 100-foot sacred waterfall at Saut-d’Eau, located roughly 50 kilometers north of the capital, has drawn believers of both Voodoo and Roman Catholicism. But in March, violent gangs overran the area, making it inaccessible to pilgrims. The town remains under their control, forcing this year’s observance to relocate to the outskirts of the capital. Despite the…
