Always Remembered. Never Forgotten.
At a time when "Love" is celebrated and

the heinous lawlessness of 'terrorism'
did boldly strike to bring unspeakable
grief and heavy sorrow to so many
now mourning Loved Ones lost -
never to enjoy the happiness
of so many precious tomorrows.
The Family of Humanity Around the World condemns
the horrific "Crime Against Humanity" committed
by lawless, terrorists during a wedding in
Afghanistan on August 17, 2019
Might Justice Prevail to Lawfully assail
the perpetrators of terrorism
in every place Around the World.

School children at a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees-run school at Al-Baqa'a in Palestine.
"There are currently 1.8 billion young people between the
ages of 10 and 24 in the world. This is the largest
youth population ever. However, more than
half of all children and adolescents aged 6-14
lack basic reading and maths skills,
despite the fact that the majority of them
are attending school. This global learning crisis
threatens to severely hamper progress towards the SDGs."

UN Secretary-General's Statement on the Death of
President Beji Caid Essebsi of Tunisia
29 November 1926 - 25 July 2019
"I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of President Beji Caid Essebsi of Tunisia, a pivotal figure in the history of Tunisia and the country’s independence. In recent years, he was instrumental in successfully steering the country through its historic and peaceful transition to democracy.
President Essebsi will be remembered for his bold determination to uphold democratic rule in Tunisia and to respect and promote the rights of its citizens, including his strong advocacy for women’s rights and equality. President Essebsi was a Tunisian pioneer, an Arab and African trailblazer, and a global leader.
I convey the deepest condolences of the United Nations to the family of President Essebsi and to the people and Government of Tunisia."
