While we’re all enjoying 2019 with all our friends and families, people in Yemen are still struggling to survive against the war on their country. With its bombs and missiles, this war has brought immense fear to our lives.

Small, tropical, and awe-inspiring. Terms that fit the typical concept of an island. When I moved to the island of Guam in first grade, I was enthralled by the mesmerizing aura I had perceived. Other than the soaring buildings my father designed as a prominent architect in the island, I found time to enjoy nature and the serenity that the beaches brought. When I attended Stanford University for the Junior State of America program last

On the 17th of August 2018, Imran Khan was sworn in as the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Mian Nawaz Sharif inaugurated his political livelihood back in the course of a period where many industries, including the Sharif’s steel business, were taken into the public sector by Pakistan’s then-Prime Minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. His father, Mian Muhammad Sharif, was an entrepreneur who had next to no interest in politics, but when his factories were municipalised by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, he moulded up a hostility against him. In some way, General Jillani convinced him
The 2018 FIFA World Cup began yesterday night on July 14, and with it started one of my favorite times of the year.
