The Kamugasa Challenge News Desk is a regular update of news headlines from reputable sources around the world, with a special reference to humanity, leadership, and citizenship. Please be advised that we do not necessarily endorse what is written in these articles; some of them are worth reading for their critical perspective, and others simply because the media outlets from whence they are sourced are particularly influential. We therefore speak with Henry S. Truman when he said, “You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on.”
