I am hopeful that the U.S. will draw a useful lesson from the Jan. 6 threat to our own democracy and recommit to allowing Haitians to escape its history of both dictatorial government and foreign interference. As a lawyer who has spent the last 28 years helping to establish democracy in Haiti, I want 2023 to be the year that the U.S. and other powerful members of the international community allow Haiti to run free and fair elections. Brian Concannon wishes for efforts to support democracy in Haiti.
We still lack a global system of data collection and sharing — one that is transparent and can enable the assessment of public health risks. Policymakers have done a poor job in developing sustainable infrastructure that could enable fair distribution of vaccines for the global poor. The pandemic has also pushed low- and middle-income into a severe debt crisis that can wipe away the economic progress made in the last few decades. In 2023, I believe the world should rally in support of the Pandemic Fund.
This is a particular problem with African art collected during the era of colonization. This exhibition proactively engages with debates about restitution and the ethics of museums’ owning African heirlooms collected during the era of colonization. Though complex, this project presents exciting opportunities for museum transparency and creating new pathways for relationship-building with partners in Africa and its diaspora.

- A life-sized example of such statuary is extremely rare in African art.
- Most strikingly, a large antelope horn protrudes vertically from the figure’s head, and two animal teeth have been affixed to the corners of its mouth giving the appearance of fangs.
- Every Urhobo community had its own edjo installed in a small and darkened shrine house maintained by the town’s spiritual leaders.
Bearing wide, alert eyes, this fearsome figure is enswathed by civet and monkey skin. Horns, including a smaller one inserted into a larger one, have been tightly strapped around the figure’s chest. Also attached to the figure are seed pods, an ax blade, and glass beads.

Many museum collections in the West contain examples of minkisi that have been deactivated—meaning the medicines are no longer attached to the sculptures. This deactivation was sometimes performed by a nganga, who would ensure that only powerless sculptures ended up in the hands of Western collectors, missionaries, and colonial officials. Sometimes the medicines were removed by Western collectors who valued only the sculptural core. Museums preserve our cultural heritage, but some objects in our collections present an ethical dilemma. While many objects were obtained through purchase with the permission of the individual maker or community, others, even when legally traded on the art market, may have been taken without consent and in ways that violate cultural traditions.
My wish for 2023 is for more investments in long COVID research and provision of support to sufferers. And I wish that efforts to document experiences of long COVID should be extended to Africa. Ensure that the most rural of the rural can connect to the internet for free and in locations from schools to libraries to parks to bus stops.

Perhaps more pertinently, Morocco's success should hopefully inspire other African teams and provide a blueprint for how to harness talent. At the time, we didn't know which teams would reach Qatar from the CAF qualifying program, although we tipped Algeria, Senegal and Nigeria among the hot contenders to break new ground at the global showpiece. With 2023 firmly underway, ESPN's Ed Dove looks ahead to the coming 12 months and reveals his big wishes for African football this year.
Let's not be indifferent in the face of this poverty that hurts the most forgotten, those who suffer and have no voice. I hope that in 2023, the children of the world do not suffer from hunger and that all wars end, and that, especially in our country Peru, everything returns to peace and calm. Let's restore our hearts and begin to sow love and forget hate.

An outbreak anywhere can become a threat to people everywhere. The Pandemic Fund, housed at the World Bank, works with low- and middle-income countries to invest in labs, frontline health workers and local health systems to stop epidemics when and where they occur. Globally, an additional $10 billion is needed annually to prevent, prepare for and respond to the next pandemic. But it's an investment — one that could save millions of lives and pay for itself by preventing the loss of trillions of dollars in the future. With sufficient support, the Pandemic Fund can help keep families across the world safe from the next health threat. This zoomorphic Lubankisi mihake, or “malevolent” power object, depicts a dog of a fierce and formidable character.

If people could better understand basic concepts in epidemiology, they might be more equipped to look past misleading headlines or biased news sources with ulterior agendas. We as public health experts must do more in how and what we communicate, and through more comprehensive and creative means, to reach far more people more quickly. And then the next pandemic may be more easily understood from the start and better controlled to the finish line. From our soup kitchens, aware of the harsh reality, extreme poverty and the inequality that exists in the world, we ask for solidarity, empathy and peace but above all love for the other. Remember that they also have dreams for a different tomorrow.
Here, the figure carries a medicine bundle holding feathers and a horn; a much larger horn appears at the fontanelle, the site where communication with spirits takes place. The especially intimidating appearance of thisnkisiwas also likely intended to repel malevolent forces away from the client’s home. A beaded collar covers the neck and chin, while the top of the head is decorated with a beaded cap, small clusters of what may be flowers, and 'wings' that rise from either side of the head and almost meet by the mouth.
