The U.S. military operation in Venezuela undermines a fundamental principle of international law: States must not use force to pursue their territorial claims or political demands. Venezuelan society needs healing and the country’s future must be decided by its people.

The fact that Maduro himself was an illegitimate leader does not change this. I'm glad he's gone; it gives hope for a return to democracy in Venezuela. But the means of his removal has made the world a more dangerous place.

The brazen illegality of US military action in Venezuela isn't some esoteric point. Sovereignty exists, I say in this interview, to prevent big countries from gobbling up smaller ones, stripping their resources by force, or turning them into vassal states.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: pregnancy is not a walk in the park. It is a high risk stage of life, and anyone who thinks otherwise is misinformed. Dr. Janell Green Smith, a certified nurse midwife, tragically passed away from complications of childbirth. If

The bigger problem is most of the city has no titles, rather they have share certificates. If you're looking for approval the NCC portal doesn't recognize share certificates. So you build without approval.
Another big issue in Nairobi real estate is folks selling apartments based on plans. Building is complete. They then tell you they are processing the title. Meanwhile, they take a bank loan using the building as collateral. You move in & a bank comes and kicks you out! Beware!
