More than 270,000 pilgrims from across the globe converged on the sacred sanctuary of Fátima in Portugal on Monday, commemorating the anniversary of one of Catholicism’s most significant spiritual events — the first reported apparition of the Virgin Mary to three shepherd children on May 13, 1917. The annual pilgrimage, held at the site where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared six times, was especially poignant this year as prayers were offered not only in remembrance of the apparitions but also for Pope Leo XIV, recently elected to lead the Catholic Church, and for global peace. “I imagine…

One of Alaska’s most heartwarming Mother’s Day traditions returns this Sunday as families flock to the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, where ancient animals and newborn calves offer a uniquely Arctic celebration. Mothers visiting the nonprofit farm will receive a daisy and free admission, granting them the chance to meet 75 members of the resident musk ox herd — including three recently born calves just learning to walk. Among the farm’s star attractions is an elderly bull named Trebek, a nod to the late Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek, who was a long-time supporter of the facility. “Who doesn’t want to…

A simple but powerful pricing strategy: offering 200 Uganda shillings more per kilogram of coffee delivered by a woman. “In…

Hundreds of Moscow students stepped back in time on Tuesday, donning vintage Soviet World War II uniforms and dresses to perform traditional dances at the third annual Victory Waltz — a heartfelt tribute held in the lead-up to Russia’s Victory Day.

Sudan has officially severed diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), accusing the Gulf state of backing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the country’s ongoing civil war. The dramatic move was announced by Sudan’s Defence Minister, Yassin Ibrahim, who described the UAE’s involvement as a “proxy role” in support of the RSF, following recent attacks on Port Sudan — a city long considered one of the few remaining safe zones. Sudan’s decision includes the immediate closure of its diplomatic missions in the UAE and the recall of its ambassador from Abu Dhabi. The UAE, however, has strongly…

After months of tense negotiations, the United States and Ukraine have signed a landmark agreement granting Washington access to Kyiv’s critical minerals and natural resources — a deal Ukrainian leaders believe could anchor long-term American military support as the war with Russia drags into its third year.

Ghana, long hailed as a stable democracy in West Africa, is increasingly witnessing murmurs of tribal and regional discontent. From renewed tensions in Bawku between Mamprusi and Kusasi, to clashes in parts of the Savanna region, and even the simmering unease between Asantes and Dormaa in the Bono enclave, questions are emerging about whether the country’s current unitary system can effectively manage its diversity. At the heart of these debates lie two sensitive issues: language and resource distribution. More than 80 percent of Ghanaians can speak and understand Asante Twi, an Akan dialect widely used in schools, churches, marketplaces, and…
