On Saturday the 10th we made the difficult decision to remove one of our participants from the race following a personal safety threat, we have been working with all the relevant authorities and believe there is no wider threat to other participants on the course. We understand that this is disappointing for the runner in question, but the safety of all our participants is always our primary concern.
"This text reads as nothing more than a globalist wish list of divisive cultural causes including climate, sexual and reproductive health, gender, and the perverse donor-recipient industrial complex," he continued.

I was constantly interrogated. Every day I would be subjected to questioning. When I'd go to the markets, they'd ask us where I got the money. Most protection we get emanates from the community itself. When I was arrested, it was their mobilisation that ensured my release Jamal It is against this backdrop of fear and mistrust that Sudan, home to the world's worst humanitarian crisis, has conjured up one of the year's most heartening narratives.
Floods ravage villages, leaving thousands displaced in makeshift shelters with little aid. At just 20 days old, Muhammad Hafidz has already endured extraordinary hardship.

This isn't because they don't want it. In our conversations with nonprofits, we've heard a consistent story: small teams know AI could help, but learning to use it sits at the bottom of an endless to-do list. And when they do consider adoption, the stakes feel high-these organizations serve vulnerable populations and handle sensitive data. They can't afford to get it wrong.
"We're looking at really going to the people that are needing it the most. We would like the money to get there as fast as we can, but we'd like to give it also to organizations that we can actually rely on," Manasan said on Monday.
