Now she is seeking asylum.

New Zealand will investigate the causes of its housing shortage. The problem has been growing for many years, but the pandemic may have made it worse.

The "Lord's Resistance Army" continues to act as pirates, kidnapping and enslaving teenagers. Females who escape then face cruelty from their own families, due to the condemnation of women who have been raped.

Bravo to Ms Nyanjura for working to change that.
