The United States has pushed back against rumors that the global monkeypox outbreak has its origins in, and spread because of, “U.S.-controlled laboratories” in Nigeria. The claims, shared on social media with calls for a World Health Organization inquiry, are false, the U.S. embassy in Nigeria said in a response this week. “Such reports are pure fabrication,” the statement said. “There is zero merit to any allegations regarding the use of U.S.-assisted Nigerian laboratories in the spread of monkeypox. Furthermore, there are no ‘U.S.-controlled’ laboratories in Nigeria.” The U.S. does work in collaboration with Nigerian laboratories and public health professionals,…
Gone are the days of evangelistic crusades, when people filled churches, stadiums, or open spaces to hear the gospel. The days of the great evangelists like Billy Graham, Festo Kivengere, P. D. Chiweshe, and Frank Retief, are far behind us. Openness to faith and religion is on the decline. And, in many places, the world is becoming increasingly hostile to the gospel. This makes me all the more grateful for Elliot Clark’s short but superb book, Evangelism As Exiles. How do we faithfully carry out our evangelism mandate in an increasingly hostile environment? The close relationship between church and state…

Undoubtedly, I am a storyteller signifying the human condition in the old South, most importantly, in a post-Katrina era. I paint about my environment around me. My works are discoveries and a creative process from the ‘autobiography becoming the iconography’ and in search of seeing the image as a new invention or…
When half of the Southern African guiding fraternity view a destination as their own version of Mecca, you know something special must be happening there.Mana Pools National Park in north Zimbabwe draws people in fo many reasons, but the main attraction is most certainly one’s ability to have close encounters with wildlife on foot. Walking safaris have been conducted in the park since 1963, and as a result of decades of being exposed to people on foot, a large proportion of the local wildlife has become used to people out of the vehicles, and ignore them completely.Tag along behind African…
Ask ten people what decolonization means, and you will get ten different answers. The term’s incoherent resurgence has sparked an understandable backlash, with complaints directed mainly against its liberal and or neoliberal defanging. When attempts to pin down decolonization’s meaning pit “real” material work against mere theory, staking out a position feels easy enough.

Because this question must be hard to answer, the certainties with which it is often answered fall…
