Benin Edition
Mache Fetich Gbe leads today's complete edition for Benin.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
The fetish markets of Cotonou and Porto-Novo sell everything a Vodun practitioner needs: animal skins, dried herbs, bones, talismans, and objects whose purpose you probably should not ask about unless you are ready for the answer. The vendors know every root and every ritual. This is where Beninese healers stock their pharmacies.
You witness the iconic jaguar, poison dart frogs, and anacondas as distinctive Amazonian and neotropical wildlife native to Venezuela's rich ecosystems. You see that Venezuelans commonly keep dogs, cats, and parrots as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You find Asa brand beer and Cuca soft drinks, both Angolan beverages that dominate local markets and represent post-independence industrial production. You see these drinks as everyday fixtures in Angolan life and symbols of the nation's manufacturing capability.
