Image
As the morning sun began to rise, painting the sky with its golden hues, a sense of anticipation filled the air. It was a significant day, filled with promise and adventure. Filled with anticipation on what this momentous Wednesday holds, I hurriedly finished my meal on the topmost floor of the Faculty of Administration and joined my fellow brothers and sisters from the MSSN OAU Chapter. We were a diverse group hailing from various faculties of the Obafemi Awolowo University, united by our faith and purpose. Our destination and mission was clear: to visit the Correction Center in Ilesa, Osun State, Nigeria.

What’s a Runoff? Here Are Everything To Know About Turkey Election Results

Image
After a highly-contested first round of elections on Sunday, Turkey is very likely heading towards a run-off vote on May 28 as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was hoping to secure a third term, has barely failed to secure the required 50 percent of votes, despite faring better than predicted. Wait, what’s a run-off vote? A run-off vote is a second round of voting that takes place when no candidate receives more than half of the presidential vote. As vote counting entered its final stages on Monday, all indicators pointed to Erdogan being just below the 50 percent threshold needed to win in the first round. He and his closest competitor, Kemal Kilicdarolgu, will likely gear up to campaign over the next two weeks as Erdogan tries to extend his two-decade rule, and Kilicdaroglu hopes to launch Turkey on a “new path” with the backing of his six-party alliance. The final results from Sunday’s vote are expected to be announced by 3pm (12:00 GMT) on Monday, Al Jaze...

As Muslims, it is important that we understand the historical context and impact of the Nakba, and work towards a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here are ten key facts that every Muslim should know about the Nakba:  1. British Mandate: Palestine was a British Mandate before Israel was created.  2. UN Partition Plan: The United Nations Partition Plan in 1947 called for Palestine to be divided into two states. 3. Israel's Independence: On May 14, 1948, Israel declared its independence.  4.
