@NorthwesternU has 1 of the largest collections of primary source documents from Africa in the nation. I used it for my sr. thesis on Kwame Nkrumah’s downfall. Any downgrading of African studies at NU is a real loss. This isn’t some niche liberal arts program. It’s a continent.
Northwestern University is reportedly shuttering its 80-year-old Program of African Studies, laying off staff and keeping students in the dark

Hundreds of Israeli settlers have stormed a Palestinian village in the West Bank after Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a “forceful” response after a confrontation in the West Bank left four Palestinians and two Israelis dead.

Netanyahu also said his government “would establish new settler outposts in the occupied West Bank and legalize more existing ones.”
