Trehus will take away high-powered rifles

21 Sep 2016  |  lacrossetribune.com
Thomas Trehus, a DFL state representative candidate, expressed a desire to restrict high-powered rifles for civilian use, citing their irrelevance in local hunting. This stance has alarmed local hunters and livestock farmers who rely on such rifles for hunting and predator control. The author argues that Trehus' position threatens Second Amendment rights and endorses the re-election of State Rep. Greg Davids, who is portrayed as a staunch defender of gun ownership rights. The call to action is to vote for Greg Davids in the upcoming election to prevent gun control measures.

The tale of one rescuer and one desperate day at sea

01 Aug 2016  |  cnn.com
John Hamilton, a former member of the Maltese Armed Forces and a search-and-rescue leader with Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), has been rescuing people on the Mediterranean Sea for almost two decades. The article recounts a day of rescue operations where Hamilton and his team saved 366 migrants from perilous conditions at sea. MOAS, founded by American entrepreneur Christopher Catrambone and his Italian wife Regina, has saved an estimated 22,000 lives since its inception. The migrants, fleeing war, repression, and poverty, risk their lives on dangerous sea crossings in inadequate vessels. The article highlights the harrowing experiences of the migrants, including Mogahid Sabeel from Sudan, and the ongoing crisis in the Mediterranean, which has seen a significant increase in deaths and crossings.

World's Youngest Divorcee Nujood Ali Struggles as Father Squanders Earnings

12 Mar 2013  |  www.theguardian.com
The article discusses the plight of Nujood Ali, who became the world's youngest divorcee at the age of ten after escaping a forced marriage in Yemen. Despite the success of her autobiography, 'I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced', which was supposed to fund her education and support her ambition to become a lawyer, Nujood claims her father squandered the royalties. Her father has remarried, sold her younger sister into marriage, and forced Nujood out of the family home. The publisher, Michel Lafon, has faced difficulties ensuring the support reaches Nujood due to Yemeni law. Nujood remains determined to protect her sister and pursue her education and legal career.
