In Maiduguri, northern Nigeria, grasshoppers are not just a traditional food - they are a lifeline.

When reports of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's death spread across Kashmir on 1 March 2026, the Valley's response was neither uniform nor simple. In Shia-majority areas of Srinagar and Budgam, grief and solidarity poured into the streets â but quieter voices offered sharp criticism of Iran's political system and its record on human rights.

â
â
But 600,000 tonnes of plastic waste are produced in Cameroon every year. Community ingenuity can only go so far without structural investment and policy change.â

Denied water, security, and legal recognition for over a hundred years, the people of Kibera have built their own system of survival. From new water infrastructure to community-based protection mechanisms, local actors have stepped in where the state remains absent. Yet these solutions, while effective, expose both the ingenuity of the community and the limits of resilience in the face of structural neglect.â
