THE AMBROSE EHIRIM FILES

Immigration was a big Donald Trump talking point in his Sept. 10, 2024, presidential debate against Kamala Harris. Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images BY NATHAN H. DIZE ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF FRENCH, ARTS & SCIENCES AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance continues to defend the false claim that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, have been abducting and eating area cats and dogs. That outlandish idea has been thoroughly debunked since former President Donald Trump repeatedly raised it as an anti-immigrant talking point in the Sept. 12, 2024, presidential debate. Trump never mentioned where the migrants allegedly “eating the pets” came from, but many viewers understood it as a reference to Haitians , a population that Trump has previously degraded . As debate moderator David Muir stated in his real-time fact check, there is no evidence that any pets in Springfield have been taken or consumed . NPR and other media outlets have also declared

What James Earl Jones Can Teach Us About Activism And Art In Times Of Crisis

James Earl Jones BY DOMINIC TAYLOR ACTING CHAIR OF THEATER, SCHOOL OF THEATER, FILM AND TELEVISION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES The death of James Earl Jones has forced me to consider the end of an era. Harry Belafonte , Sidney Poitier and Jones were giants in my industry. They were Black performers whose ascents to stardom occurred in the tumultuous 1960s, when I was an infant. All three were politically active, although each operated in a significantly different way. In 1967, there were more than 150 riots fueled by racial tensions in U.S. cities . Many Americans worried that the nation would implode over racial conflict, and President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed the Kerner Commission to study the sources of racial turmoil. At the time, Jones was an actor of growing renown on television and the theatrical stage. He had performed in “ Danton’s Death ” on Broadway and was featured on NBC’s “ Tarzan ,” among other projects. Jones found himself grappling with a question that

Mauricio Pochettino Instills Hope That The USMNT Can Win The World Cup In Fiery Press Conference

USMNT Coach Mauricio Pochettino BY MARK HARRIS , OUTKICK Mauricio Pochettino isn't just looking for the U.S. men's national team to play in the 2026 World Cup and perhaps make a little noise in the tournament, he was brought in to do far more than that. He and the U.S. Soccer Federation have their sights set on winning the World Cup on U.S. soil, and Pochettino isn't shying away from letting the entire world know it. Pochettino was formally introduced as the USMNT's newest manager on Friday, and when asked what he's hoping to accomplish between now and the start of the World Cup in less than two years, he laid out the loftiest of goals. "We are winners. We are going to compete, and compete is completely different than to play…We have time, and we need to really believe in things, in big things," Pochettino explained. "We need to believe that we can win all the games, that we can win the World Cup." That brief quote personifies the change in cul

An Ancient African Tree Is Providing A New ‘Superfood’ But Local Harvesters Are Barely Surviving

The sun sets behind a baobab tree, known as the tree of life in Mudzi, Zimbabwe, Thursday, August 22, 2024, (AP Photo/Aaron Ufumeli) BY FARAI MUTSAKA Since childhood, Loveness Bhitoni has collected fruit from the gigantic baobab trees surrounding her homestead in Zimbabwe to add variety to the family’s staple corn and millet diet. The 50-year-old Bhitoni never saw them as a source of cash, until now. Climate change-induced droughts have decimated her crops. Meanwhile, the world has a growing appetite for the fruit of the drought-resistant baobab as a natural health food. Bhitoni wakes before dawn to go foraging for baobab fruit, sometimes walking barefoot though hot, thorny landscapes with the risk of wildlife attacks. She gathers sacks of the hard-shelled fruit from the ancient trees and sells them on to industrial food processors or individual buyers from the city. The baobab trade, which took root in her area in 2018, would previously supplement things like children’s school fees

California Secretary Of State Among Officials In 16 States Receiving Suspicious Packages

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber (Wikipedia) BY CLARA HARTER SACRAMENTO, CA (LA TIMES) -- A suspicious package containing unbleached flour was received at the California secretary of state’s headquarters in Sacramento, in what appears to be the latest in a series of suspicious packages sent to election officials across the country, officials reported Thursday afternoon. In total, suspicious packages have been sent to election officials in at least 15 other states, officials said. The source of the Sacramento package is unknown. “Field testing and presumptive chemical test by state law enforcement revealed that the material contained within the package was non-hazardous and tested positive for unbleached flour,” Secretary of State Shirley Weber said in a statement, adding that federal authorities will continue to investigate the incident. Weber said local elections offices are being advised to take extra precautions before handling mail that arrives at their facilities. On T

Journalism’s Essential Value

BY A G SULZBERGER As long as independent journalism has existed, it has angered people who want stories told their way or not at all. But I can pinpoint the moment when I realized how contested the very idea of journalistic independence had become. It was the fall of 2018, my first year as publisher of the New York Times. I had spent my career until then as a reporter and editor steeped in the methods, values, and stylistic quirks of traditional journalism, covering small towns for the Providence Journal and local government for the Portland Oregonian before joining the Times. Even after years of watching these traditions come under intensifying pressure from the internet and social media, I was struck by how frontally the old journalistic model was being challenged by the dynamics of covering a new president unconstrained by precedent and social norms—sometimes even reality itself. At the time, the country was waiting for the results of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation

What To Know About The Two Waves Of Deadly Explosions That Hit Lebanon And Syria

By WYATTE GRANTHAM-PHILIPS , MICHAEL BIESECKER , SARAH EL DEEB and SARAH PARVINI NEW YORK (AP) — Just one day after pagers used by hundreds of members of the militant group Hezbollah exploded, more electronic devices detonated in Lebanon Wednesday in what appeared to be a second wave of sophisticated, deadly attacks that targeted an extraordinary number of people. Both attacks, which are widely believed to be carried out by Israel, have hiked fears that the two sides’ simmering conflict could escalate into all-out war. This week’s explosions have also deepened concerns about the scope of potentially-compromised devices, particularly after such bombings have killed or injured so many civilians. Here’s what we know so far. What happened across these two waves of attacks? On Tuesday, pagers used by hundreds of Hezbollah members exploded almost simultaneously in parts of Lebanon as well as Syria. The attack killed at least 12 people — including two young children — and wounded thousands

Is It Time To Retire The ‘Arab-Israeli Conflict’? Hostilities Now Extend Beyond Those Boundaries

BY NADER HABIBI HENRY J. LEIR PROFESSOR PRACTICE IN ECONOMICS OF THE MIDDLE EAST BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY The current phase of fighting in the Middle East began almost a year ago , with the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas and the subsequent pummeling of Gaza by Israel. But to many academics , foreign policy experts and international observers , what is taking place is also the latest episode in the decadeslong conflict commonly referred to as the “ Arab-Israeli conflict .” The experience of the past 11 months has led many experts on the region like myself to reassess that term. Is “Arab-Israeli conflict” an accurate reflection, given that the active participants are no longer just Arabs and Israelis? Should we retire that term for good now that the conflict has widened, drawing in the United States and Iran – and potentially Turkey and others in the coming years? How it all began The Arab-Israeli conflict began after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1922. In what is now Israel and the

Dikembe Mutombo, A Hall Of Fame Player And Tireless Advocate, Dies At 58 From Brain Cancer

Retired Denver Nuggets center Dikembe Mutombo waves to the crowd as his jersey number was retired by the team during halftime of the Nuggets basketball game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, Octobder 29, 2016, in Denver. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File) BY TIM REYNOLDS Dikembe Mutombo, a Basketball Hall of Famer who was one of the best defensive players in NBA history and a longtime global ambassador for the game, died Monday from brain cancer, the league announced. He was 58. His family revealed two years ago that he was undergoing treatment in Atlanta for a brain tumor. The NBA said he died surrounded by his family. “Dikembe Mutombo was simply larger than life,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. “On the court, he was one of the greatest shot blockers and defensive players in the history of the NBA. Off the floor, he poured his heart and soul into helping others.” Mutombo was distinctive in so many ways — the playful finger wag at opponents after blocking their shots, h

How The Israeli Settlers Movement Shaped Modern Israel

BY ARIE PERLIGER DIRECTOR OF SECURITY STUDIES AND PROFESSOR OF CRIMINOLOGY AND JUSTICE STUDIES, UMASS LOWELL The increase in settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank over the past year has been unprecedented. Since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack and the start of the war, there have been more than 1,000 attacks, according to a new report from the International Crisis Group. The spike, which has raised international alarm , is often blamed on the permissive policies of Israel’s right-wing government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu. According to a U.N. investigation , nearly half of all settler attacks documented in October 2023 were conducted in collaboration with, or in the presence of, Israeli military forces. I have studied Jewish violent extremism for more than 20 years . I would argue these developments result from long processes tied to the erosion of Israel’s democratic foundations – that the seeds were planted long before Netanyahu came to power. Since the late 1970s, t

The problems that confront Imo State are really not unique. It is the same problem that confronts almost every state in Nigeria, and it's one of economic development. The primary thing or my clear vision for the people of Imo State will be getting all the able-bodied men and women back to work, so that we can begin to have the quality of life that has so far eluded the people of Imo State.

But seeing a Nigeria headline on my screen it then occurred to him I must either be a Nigerian or perhaps a curious minded fellow who is reading to find out about the notorious Boko Haram, if they have captured more of their victims, or if there's an ongoing battle between the insurgents and the nation's security forces. Elevating my head up and starring at each other, I told him I was Igbo

FROM THE ARCHIVES: INTERVIEW: DR. APOLLOS NWAUWA

Contrary to what many think, the Igbo Diaspora is not really a homogenous, coherent group. Like other ethnic nationalities in the USA, the Igbo Diaspora consists of peoples from all walks of life separated by everything and only united by the fact that they are all Igbo. Serious social class disparity exists between them; therefore, presenting a united front in influencing or engineering actions at home continues to be a challenge.

I went to St. Martins Primary School and later to a wonderful School – Abbot Secondary Grammar School in Ihiala, my town. I even did a stint in Ihiala Seminary trying to be a Catholic Priest

Sovereign National Conference: A Symposium

A sovereign nation is born when, out of civilization, any such populations of human assemblage pledge loyalty and confide their trust to a governing body which they elect to oversee to their security, welfare and yes, to their happiness. The ensuing system of governance thrives and becomes sustainable by the wishes of the people whose interests it caters for.
