Children born of rape are often left in a legal limbo as they lack birth certificates or identity papers, and may become stateless.

Amharas moves conveys of people for settlement in Western Tigray's Humera area. There is a lot of optics in Ethiopia to paint a picture of normalcy, but reality is Eritrean & Amhara forces remain occupying large swathes, displacing, raping & resettling. https://t.co/rdB2jJA0sn

Africa's population is now over 1.4 B, with a median age of 19, but, It is not enough to have a youthful population. We should be able to harness the demographic dividend by deliberately investing in critical areas: health, education, decent jobs, economic development...

One Great ancient African who left a deep impression on history was Imhotep (A man who comes in peace). He is the real Father of Medicine. He was a Vizier of King Djoser of the Third Dynasty. #Africa

A woman without a home, a husband, kids & without her sight: all because of a senseless violence no fault of hers. The whole world, myself included, call her an IDP, an acronym that conveniently hides the multiple sufferings she has & continues to endure. This must stop & soon!
