More worrisome still, almost 80% of our respondents do, in fact, not know clearly what the organization stands for or its legal boundary.

The International Criminal Court hinders political and…

How does this reflect human life? Life goes on. Does it apply to the African situation? The time factor does indeed explain certain issues in human life….

For a meaningful democracy to flourish anywhere, there must be equity, equality, and fairness. More often than not, the terms equity and equality are used interchangeably, even though they are different but related.
