After the world is done raving about 🇨🇩 DR. Congo’s grand arrival and fashion look for the World Cup, please also take the time to educate yourselves about our issues and amplify our voices. DR. Congo is currently undergoing a genocide and one of its worst Ebola outbreaks.

A beautiful scene that encapsulates the meaning of honouring ones parents. A son pushes his mother on a wheelchair on the way to Muzdalifa.
The longest walkway in the world is no challenge. A worker hands them a bottle of water.

the ayah is first and foremost about:
purity of character, speech, and accusations
not a mathematical guarantee that every righteous woman marries a flawless man.
Stage 2: "Al-Sabwa" (الصبوة). The root means "to incline toward play and foolishness." Same root as "sabi" (صبي), a child.
Love at this stage makes you childish. Reckless. You do things you'd never do with a clear head. Arabic said "this is what happens when a grown person starts acting like a kid again."
Stage 14: "Al-Huyam" (الهيام). The final stage. The root was originally used for a disease in camels. A sick camel wandering the desert, dying of thirst, searching for water it will never find.
Arabic compared the deepest love to an animal dying in the desert. Because at this point, love and survival feel exactly the same. You can't live with it. You can't live without it. You just wander.
My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
This shows you the middle class is shrinking and they are looking at ways to squeeze the last bit of rands out of the pockets of people. These tuckshops use to be operated by the school for fundraising purposes or a trader and not a JSE listed entity
i beg you all. while it's important to talk about Palestine and Iran, please don't ignore what's happening in congo. congo barely has any media coverage, we need to talk about it more.
At least 13 people were killed when gunmen stormed a university community in Nigeria’s central Plateau state.
Authorities imposed a 48-hour curfew and the University of Jos suspended exams following the attack in a region long scarred by farmer-herder violence.
