The reason people in Ghana are embracing items of traditional clothing

On a bustling street in central Accra, Clement Azaabire meticulously hangs fugu smocks, their striped, multi-coloured fabrics swaying in the breeze.
For 15 years, Azaabire has proudly sold this garment, deeply associated with his community in northern Ghana, but it is now experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity across the nation.
More Ghanaians are embracing the vibrant traditional outfit with pride, a trend unexpectedly triggered by online mockery.
When Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama wore a fugu during a visit to Zambia in early February, some social media users ridiculed his attire. This prompted a strong defence from Ghanaians, who rallied to protect what they considered a rich cultural heritage.

Supreme Court live: Trump makes historic move to attend arguments on birthright citizenship case

'It's frankly ridiculous' Donald Trump says US is considering abolishing birthright citizenshipPresident Donald Trump is set to make an unprecedented visit to the Supreme Court today to hear oral arguments on his fight to end birthright citizenship.
No sitting president has attended Supreme Court arguments in the nation’s history.
Proceedings are set to begin at 10 a.m.

When he returned to office, Trump signed an executive order to deny automatic citizenship to babies born in the U.S., unless they have at least one parent who is a citizen or permanent resident. That order was almost instantly challenged by groups, who arg..

Iranian regime likely to remain in power despite two weeks of attacks, US intelligence suggests

Iran’s regime will likely remain in power, US intelligence has said, despite over two weeks of US-Israeli attacks on the country.
While dozens of top Iranian military and intelligence leaders have been killed in the war, including the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, officials believe that the regime is still clinging onto control.
As the war enters a third week, at least 2,000 people have been killed with no end in sight despite widespread damage to Iran’s military installations and naval capability.
Though Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have vowed to pound Iran with missiles until regime change is achieved, a “multitude” of intelligence reports provide “consistent analysis that the regime is not in danger” of collapse, a source close to US intelligence told The Washington Post. Rather, they said it “retains control of the Iranian public”.
They noted that ⁠the situation on the ground is fluid and that the dynamics inside Iran could change.
