Real Madrid Aim to End Barca’s Clasico Dominance

Real Madrid is determined to end Barcelona's recent dominance in El Clásico when the two rivals face off on Sunday in La Liga. Last season, Barcelona defeated Madrid in all four of their meetings.

After a disappointing debut in this fixture last year, the French international is in superb form, having scored 15 goals for his club this season. Madrid will rely on his attacking threat against a Barcelona defense that has looked vulnerable. A win for Madrid would not only solidify their position at the top of the table but also ease doubts about their ability to perform in […]

Africa Nears Polio-Free Status, Says WHO on World Polio Day

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that Africa is making remarkable progress toward being declared polio-free. This milestone is driven by strong regional collaboration, digital innovation, and stronger health systems across the continent. According to the WHO, coordinated vaccination campaigns between January and October 2025 reached nearly 200 million children with at least one dose of the polio vaccine. These synchronized efforts, even in challenging regions, have led to a significant drop in outbreaks. Key to this success has been the use of technology, including digital payments for vaccinators and geospatial mapping to find and immunize children in hard-to-reach communities. Despite this progress, the WHO warns that challenges remain, including declining routine immunization and vaccine hesitancy. Sustained commitment is crucial to finally eradicating the disease and strengthening health systems for the future.
