Kibera Kings
Kibera is Africa’s second largest slum and is home to an estimated one million people. A slum is normally associated with a life of dejection, despair and poverty. Youth coming from the slum are generally expected to fit a certain stereotype, mostly, illiterate, criminal and hostile. Though it is true that some youth from the slum exhibit such characteristics, these personalities are found in individuals from all societies irrespective of their background. The Initiative for Sports and Social Arts (ISSA) is a communitybased organization in Kibera and it strives to engage the youth here in sports and art as a way of celebrating diversity.

Eritrea a Nation Held Hostage
Isaias Afewerki was hailed by Eritreans as the great liberator of the people when he became the nation’s first president in 1993. He represented a new breed of an African leader; young, charismatic, and determined to build a prosperous future. He brought hope to a nation that had for so long appeared hopeless. Isaias started to reconstruct the nation, promised to respect human rights, hold free and fair elections, and build a strong economy with jobs for all. Eritreans were to be rewarded for their struggle. But these rewards never came. Human rights groups say Eritreans are being imprisoned, tortured and killed in increasing numbers. Some are held in shipping containers in 50-degree heat, others in solitary confinement or in underground cells. The fairy tale has turned into a nightmare.
