Red Sea Dive Disaster Survivors Reveal Disturbing Cover-Up Attempts

Survivors of last November's Red Sea dive-boat tragedy, which claimed 11 lives, report concerning irregularities in the investigation process. The incident involved the sinking of the Sea Story vessel, which carried 46 passengers, leaving four confirmed dead and seven still missing, including two British citizens. Multiple survivors report being pressured to sign Arabic documents they couldn't understand, with translations provided by an undisclosed employee of the boat company, Dive Pro Liveaboard. The survivors were reportedly required to give statements shortly after the rescue, some while still in hospital beds, to individuals identified as judges.

Trump’s Shadow Looms Over Greenland’s Quest for Freedom

The debate over Greenland's future has intensified following Donald Trump's recent statements about acquiring the island. From the ice-covered fjords of Nuuk to remote settlements, Greenlanders are responding to these developments while navigating their path toward potential independence. In Kapisillit, a settlement of around 40 people, local perspectives reflect the broader sentiment.

Nigeria’s Museum Chief Calls for Indigenous Language Integration and Cultural Preservation

The National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) Director-General Olugbile Holloway has proposed incorporating indigenous languages and cultural contexts into Nigerian museums to enhance their relevance and accessibility. During an ARISE NEWS interview, Holloway emphasized the importance of presenting museum narratives in local languages alongside English. He explained that certain artifacts' spiritual and cultural significance cannot be fully conveyed in English alone, necessitating the use of indigenous languages for accurate representation.

He noted the ongoing impact of this historical event, citing how Nigerians question the presence of their cultural artifacts in foreign museums. Regarding the repatriation of Benin Bronzes, Holloway outlined the NCMM's plans. A new facility in Benin, scheduled for completion in Q1, will temporarily […]
