The parking lot of a Montgomery County community center was filled Saturday with boxes of groceries and volunteers as Rev. Matthew L. Watley and members of Kingdom Fellowship African Methodist Episcopal Church distributed food to people in need amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Such distributions to the community are nothing new for Watley and his Silver Spring congregation, but many who took bags of groceries at Saturday's event only recently fell on hard times, having lost jobs because their places of employment had closed to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
\"We have giving out 700 boxes of food and the need is growing,\" said Watley, whose church is one of many houses of faith and charitable organizations that gave out food over the weekend.
On Tuesday, the Archdiocese of Washington and Catholic Charities will distribute 800 boxes of groceries and family meals in the west parking lot of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Northeast.
In two previous events in Prince George's County, their volunteers gave out 1,400 boxes of groceries and 1,400 ready-to-eat family meals.

COMME des GARÇONS Adds Some Luxe Detailing To The Classic Air Force 1 Mid
Ivory Coast's government says it has decided to favorably consider requests on the restructuring of the Independent Electoral Commission.
The decision comes on the proposal of the ECOWAS Peace and Security Commission chaired by General Francis Béhanzin.
The government also expressed its support for a meeting between the President Alassane Ouattara and the President of the PDCI, Henri Konan Bédié, with a view to the participation of the opposition in the presidential election of 31 October 2020.
The information was made public in a statement read by the Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization, Sidiki Diakité, at the end of a working session chaired by Prime Minister Hamed Bakayoko on Wednesday, October 21, 2020 in Abidjan. A meeting that brought together the government, the ECOWAS Peace and Security Commission and opposition political parties. The PDCI and the FPI did not respond to the invitation.
According to Sidiki Diakité, the government decided to consider favorably the requests on the restructuring of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) made by the opposition after exchanges with this ECOWAS commission. These requests relate to \"the integration of a fifth personality into the central commission of the IEC in the name of the opposition, the granting of a post of vice-president to the PDCI in the office of the central commission of the IEC and the recomposition of the local IECs\".
The participants also deplored the violent demonstrations that have been recorded in recent weeks and which have resulted in loss of life, serious injuries and significant property damage.
In addition, the government called on the political parties to lift, without delay, the watchword of civil disobedience, to commit themselves definitively to the path of dialogue and to work for a peaceful presidential election on Saturday, October 31, 2020.
Hamed Bakayoko thanked ECOWAS for its \"engagement with stakeholders to help move forward in the negotiations\".
The ECOWAS delegation led a ministerial mission of preventive diplomacy to Côte d'Ivoire from 18 to 19 October.

Anti-Police Brutality Protest Sees Police Brutality
National armed forces opened fire on Nigerian youth in Lagos at an anti-police brutality demonstration on Tuesday — injuring around 50 people and shooting at least 20 dead, as per unconfirmed reports
Amnesty International which has already condemned the use of excessive force by the Nigerian police to subdue protesters, stated there was ``\"credible but disturbing evidence'' of the incident.
\"While we continue to investigate the killings, Amnesty International wishes to remind the authorities that under international law, security forces may only resort to the use of lethal force when strictly unavoidable to protect against the imminent threat of death or serious injury,\" Amnesty tweeted.
#EndSARS, #EndSWAT and Police Reform.
The escalation in violence comes two weeks after the #EndSarsNow movement took to the streets across Nigeria, following the circulation of video showing a man being beaten, apparently by police officers of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, known as SARS.
The government proclaimed the dissolution of the police unit which has been accused of human rights crimes including abuse, torture and killings but has since created the Special Weapons and Tactics team (SWAT) in its stead further inciting the youth to seek complete police reform.

By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Twenty-five years ago, the world's nations came together to make sure that half of Earth's population gained the rights, power and status of the other half. It hasn't happened, and the U.N. chief urged people everywhere Thursday to 'push back' against the forces holding up equality for women. Addressing the opening session of a high-level meeting to commemorate the landmark 1995 U.N. women's conference in Beijing, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said 'this is fundamentally a question of power.' And in today's more divided, conservative and still very male-dominated world, that power […]
