By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer Anti-abortion leaders across America were elated a year ago when Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to appear in person at their highest-profile annual event, the March for Life held every January. The mood is more sober now — a mix of disappointment over Trump's defeat and hope that his legacy of judicial appointments will lead to future court victories limiting abortion rights. Organizers of this year's March for Life in Washington, scheduled for next Friday, have asked their far-flung supporters to stay home, due to political tensions in the city and […]

By SAM MEDNICK Associated Press YEI, South Sudan (AP) — First, the soldiers stole their belongings. Then they took their food. On their third and final visit, the woman said, the soldiers raped her and her daughter-in-law until they were unable to walk. What sets these assaults in South Sudan apart from many other rapes by soldiers in the troubled country is this: The women brought the men to court and won.

BY GARIKAI MAFIRAKUREVA Cases of sexual abuse of minors have drastically increased in Chiredzi during lockdown with seven men having so far been arrested and remanded to later dates in the past week. Most perpetrators, who were supposed to appear before the Chiredzi Magistrates Court, were remanded in custody to February 22, 2021 or later dates as the courts were not operational due to a 30-day lockdown announced by Vice-President and Health and Child Care minister Constantino Chiwenga at the beginning of the month. One of the cases involved a truck driver who allegedly returned home late at night and attempted to rape a minor who had been left by his wife babysitting their two children. The minor reportedly screamed and managed to escape to another tenant’s room, who took her to the police to file a report, leading to the man’s arrest. The suspect was supposed to appear at Chiredzi Magistrates Court on January 15, 2021, but was remanded to February 22, 2020. In another incident, an 11-year old Grade 4 pupil at a local school was repeatedly raped by four men aged between 15 and 40 at different times. The matter was discovered by the girl’s mother who noticed an unusual behaviour and quizzed her, leading to the disclosure of the crime and the arrest of the four. Another man is alleged to have raped a 13-year-old girl several times and threatening her with death. The man is alleged to have lured the girl to his room with goodies, including chocolates, biscuits and soft drinks. The matter came to light when he bought her a mobile phone for ease of communication. This led her mother to quiz the girl, who revealed her ordeal each time the 33-year-old man called her to his room. She immediately made a police report leading to his arrest.

King advocated for diversity, for an end to discrimination. His “dream” has not come to fruition. Some might argue that we are in a nightmare with the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism. A lot of people simply “talk the talk” rather than “walk the walk” around the diversity King dreamed of. Many of us spend the majority of our time with people who look like us rather than those who may reflect the diversity of which we speak.
