Illegal mining threatens cocoa production.

Among the thousands of hunters enlisted by the Nigerian army to track and capture Boko Haram fighters, one stands out from the crowd.

Aisha Bakari Gombi towers over her band of hunters, one of the few women who has joined the fight against one of the deadliest armed groups in Africa.

With her shotgun slung over her shoulder, she ventures into the scrub of Borno, the northeastern province of Nigeria long plagued by Boko Haram attacks, hunting down their fighters.

Her bravery and keen hunting abilities have earned her the title of 'Queen Hunter'.

Government troops are quick to call on Aisha for her skills but slow to reward her efforts financially.

While she is unable to liberate many more captives held by Boko Haram due to a lack of resources, she will never stop trying.

Dive into the multiple worlds of Aisha, a commander, a hunter and a wife.

JAYAPURA (Café Pacific): The current armed conflict between West Papuan National Liberation Army (TPNPB) and Indonesian Military Forces in Nduga, West Papua, are demonstrated in this video released by TPNPB News.

This video was taken a few months ago in Nduga when Indonesia dropped military personnel in an airborne operation.

On a different occasion, the same helicopter dropped an internationally banned weapon, white phosphorous, in December 2018, and in some different places dropped live bombs, according to TPNPB News.

On 27 January 2018, a war ultimatum was announced by the National Operation Comander of TPNPB, the military wing of OPM armed resistance, Legakek Tellengen in Puncak Jaya.

While kids are fleeing chaos in Haiti, the Dominican Republic is building a wall to keep migrants out. Business is booming for human smugglers on Haiti’s border with the Dominican Republic as Haitians flee the social and economic crisis at home. But the influx of thousands of Haitians, many of them children, is stoking xenophobia in DR, which has begun work on a border wall to keep migrants out.
