Central African Republic – Hope for the Future

There is no hiding from the fact that the Central African Republic (CAR) has been struggling with violence, pain and suffering for a long time now.   
Countries are advising their citizens against travelling to this country, and the daily news coverage about the country is more than enough to cause tender hearts to break and tears to flow.
Nevertheless, in 2016 the country elected a new president, Faustin Archange Touadera, who said, “We’re going to make CAR a United country, a country of peace, a country facing development.”  Additionally, the country still has a continuous supply of diamonds, uranium and land in its possession.

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
