The Great Green Wall is one of the most ambitious environmental initiatives in Africa’s history.
Launched in 2007 by the African Union, the project aims to create an 8,000-kilometer-long belt of trees and restored land across the Sahel region, stretching from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east. More than 20 countries are participating, with 22 nations actively implementing the program, including Senegal, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Djibouti.
Beyond simply planting trees, the Great Green Wall promotes a wide range of sustainable land management practices designed to restore degraded soil, enhance food security, generate employment, and strengthen community resilience to climate change.
According to the official program and recent reports, approximately 15% of the wall has been completed so far. Even at this early stage, the project has successfully restored large areas of degraded land, improved agricultural productivity and water availability for local communities, and attracted more than $14 billion in funding and pledges.
The initiative continues to demonstrate that coordinated, large-scale environmental restoration can deliver tangible benefits for both people and the planet.
TheBeatles had their 10th consecutive UK No. 1 single when “Paperback Writer/Rain” went to No. 1 on the UK charts, June 23, 1966.
Paul McCartney wrote most of the track—even though it carries the usual Lennon-McCartney credit—and it actually knocked Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" right off the top spot. It was a massive sonic shift for the band, too. Between that heavy, driving bassline and the intricate backing harmonies, it gave everyone a brilliant sneak peek at the psychedelic direction they were about to dive into with Revolver.

Sinoć je u Valjevu na kućnom pragu našeg sugrađanina Miloša Teofilovića-Bebu napalo desetak maskiranih batinaša. Tučen je metalnim štanglama a na njega je pucano i iz vatrenog oružja. Pukom srećom je ostao živ.
