She persevered through hardship with grace, and her legacy lives on through those she loved and taught. May her memory be a blessing.

Exiled royals playing A-list celebrity “She thinks she’s the messiah” — that’s how palace courtiers summed up Meghan Markle behind closed doors, long before Megxit. She saw herself as a savior. Harry saw her as a queen to be worshipped, even if it meant defying the actual one. His pussywhipped devotion made lovesick puppies look… Read more.
Once again, South Sudan teeters on the brink of civil war. The unity government between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar is unraveling — fueled by ethnic violence, political purges, and fresh militia clashes.
