Abuja: Legal loopholes and gaps about specialised medicine may be driving illegal organ harvesting in Nigeria. Also, South Sudan may be moving closer to delivering on elections scheduled for December. Finally, on the islands of So Tom© and Prncipe, six colonial-era plantation estates have just been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
According to France24.com, the issue of illegal organ harvesting in Nigeria is being exacerbated by the absence of stringent regulations and oversight within the medical sector. The lack of comprehensive legal frameworks has made it easier for unscrupulous individuals to exploit vulnerable populations in Nigeria.
In South Sudan, efforts to conduct elections are gaining momentum as the country aims to hold the polls in December. This development marks a significant step toward establishing a stable political landscape in the region.
Meanwhile, in So Tom© and Prncipe, six plantation estates from the colonial era have been recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. This recognition highlights the historical significance of these sites and their contribution to the cultural heritage of the islands.
