Afcon 2023: The African footballers putting their hearts on the line

Africa: The Birthrate Blues – allAfrica.com

[ad_1] Portland, USA — Increasing numbers of countries are experiencing a spreading demographic condition, below replacement fertility, with many governments bemoaning the birthrate blues. Without compensating international migration, a fertility rate below the replacement level, which in most instances is approximately 2.1 births per woman, leads to population decline, a near universal fear among nations that have become addicted to population growth. Fertility rates below the replacement level were relatively uncommon in the distant past with few if any countries […]

Africa: Students Do Better and Schools Are More Stable When Teachers Get Mental Health Support

[ad_1] When it comes to mental health at school, typically the focus is on helping students, especially as they emerge from the pandemic with heightened levels of anxiety, stress and emotional need.

Africa: Redesignating the Houthis a Terrorist Group Is Not a Bad Policy – It Is No Policy At All

[ad_1] The Houthis will not be discouraged, but the implications for Yemen and its people are dire. The US redesignation of the Houthis as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT) represents continuing inconsistency in its policy towards Yemen - or rather the complete absence of a policy. During its first weeks in office the Biden administration chose to revoke Trump's decision to add the Houthis to a similar list. Now the US has rebranded them with the terrorist designation, repeating the […]
