Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean off the African coast, is the fourth largest island in the world and a biodiversity hotspot.

A group of street children are forcibly removed from the landfill where they live, taken to a military camp, and held under arrest, unaware of both the reason why they have been captured and the fate that awaits them. “Graced” by order of General Ismail—the mysterious ruling authority—they are released from the handcuffs that keep them suspended from the ceiling. From this moment onwards, they start their new life as nameless Bodies with no personal identity. Subjected to rigorous military training and radical brainwashing, also involving a distorted and politicized use of religion, they are assigned the task of infiltrating…
Last week, I was delighted to speak to the United Nations Security Council. In the ten years that my country has been experiencing conflict, violence, and instability, dozens of conferences and other international summits have been held without ever really making room for those who are mobilized on a daily basis for more social justice, the defense of human rights and achieving Malian peace. My country – and the Sahel as a whole – are rich with dynamic and innovative civil societies and youth. After 10 years of failed strategies to resolve the Sahelian crises, it is time for a…
One day, you wake up feeling a headache and flue or stomach upset. You stretch from your bed and tell your caretakers or check your bank account to ascertain if you have money to pay your consultation fees and find out what you might be suffering from.

History says that even after slavery was outlawed, the Jim Crow Era perpetuated racism and discrimination. Occurring in the Southern states of the United States from the end of the Reconstruction Era in 1877 to the 1950s, Whites and Blacks were required to remain separate while utilizing public transportation, parks, theatres, restaurants, and so on. It was meant to further fuel the ruling of “separate but equal” as was the conclusion in the famous court case, Plessy V. Ferguson (1896).
