Somalia Edition
World Family Photo Box Day leads today's complete edition for Somalia.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for printed pictures, old phones, albums, names written on backs, and the people a household remembers together.
National holiday. A significant day for Burkina's Catholic community. Churches fill, choirs sing, and afterward everyone gathers for a meal that always includes riz gras. The faith runs deep in the Centre-Ouest and the processions through Koudougou and Ouaga are a sight that stays with you.
Hawo Tako was a Somali nationalist and women's rights activist who was killed during the independence struggle. She is a symbol of Somali women's resistance to colonialism and patriarchy. The AHA! moment: Hawo Tako's name is invoked by both the government and the opposition, by women's groups and by men who have never read a word she wrote. She belongs to everyone because she gave everything.
