On Monday, President Trump took swift action to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), a decision public health experts warn could weaken the nation’s role as a global health leader and hinder efforts to combat future pandemics.

In an executive order issued just hours after his inauguration, Trump outlined his reasons for the withdrawal, citing the W.H.O.’s “mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic” and its “failure to adopt urgently needed reforms.” He also criticised the organisation for requiring what he described as “unfairly onerous payments” from the United States while China contributes significantly less.

At least 78 bodies were recovered from an illegal gold mine in Stilfontein, South Africa, after police cut off food and water supplies for months to force miners out. The blockade left miners, mostly from Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Lesotho, trapped underground in horrifying conditions. Survivors revealed they had to eat cockroaches and human flesh to survive, while others fell to their deaths trying to escape.

Activists and civil rights groups have slammed the government for "wilful negligence" and accused authorities of violating the miners' right to life. The South African Federation of Trade Unions called it a "massacre" and demanded accountability.

Elizabeth “Liz” Sanya, a British-Nigerian fashion designer, has created a massive sandal measuring 10 feet, 4.2 inches wide and 26 feet, 8.8 inches long in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest sandal. The sandal, crafted in 72 hours at Pixel Park in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria, was completed on January 4 and submitted for the record. The previous record, set in 2016 by craftspeople from Sahauyo, Mexico, featured a traditional sandal measuring 24 feet, 5.31 inches long and 10 feet, 1.65 inches wide.

Sanya, renowned for her designs like the ‘world’s blackest Air Forces’ and the ‘Sanya Clogs,’ began designing shoes at age 12 and selling them by 14 to fund her passion. In her creative process, she focuses on solving hypothetical problems, often making functionality a byproduct of her solutions. Sanya is determined to challenge norms, declaring her intent to “bend the rules inside out” and create lasting change in the industry.

The designer credits her upbringing in an African household for teaching her resilience and staying true to herself. She believes that persistence in one’s vision leads others to adapt. Nigerian celebrities such as Dremo, Pheelz, P.Priime, and Mayorkun attended her record-breaking attempt to show support. Reflecting on her effort, Sanya wrote, “Believing in me is free, doubting me will cost you.”
