Although Nigeria has one of Africa's biggest economies and armies, it is riven by corruption, soldiers are poorly paid and equipped, and the police force barely exists. So kidnapping has become a lucrative business, as people pay what they can to release their loved ones. Dozens of girls were ransomed after Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds ten years ago - though scores are still missing. In one of the newest gripping narratives from us at the dpa trends & features desk, we hear how some of those freed are now pursuing their education. Each feature comes illustrated with high-quality photos ready ...

Nyoman Warta laboriously carries seawater in two simple containers to the beach of Kusamba, a coastal village located on the island of Bali, in Indonesia. As is the tradition, he balances them on a pole that rests heavily across his shoulders and then pours the contents with deliberate care into the dark sand. As the head of the family, Warta enthusiastically runs the small traditional business and proudly shows interested tourists how salt is produced. His grandmother was involved in the salt business here, in the Klungkung province. The region lies roughly halfway between the popular holiday...

Montpellier, France (dpa/tca) — In vitro fertilization (IVF), a procedure first used more than 45 years ago, has suddenly become the topic of political debate on both sides of the Atlantic — but for wildly different reasons. In France, President Emmanuel Macron’s government is eyeing policies to promote the use of assisted reproductive technology, including IVF, to increase the nation’s declining birth rate. But French feminist groups say the proposal unduly inserts the government into private lives of women. They also worry that nationalist sentiment is driving the effort to boost birth rates...

Cyclist Falko Görres frequently bikes through Frankfurt's busy banking district - and almost every day, he gets off his bike, pulls out his phone and takes a picture of a delivery van parked on the bike path. He uses the photo to report the traffic offence reasoning that safety is of the utmost importance. So he keeps on stopping his bike, taking photos and filing reports. He sends some 70 a month in the hopes that some day, he and others will be able to cycle safely through the area - unobstructed by illegally parked vehicles that block the bike path. He is not alone in reporting these parkin...

Cop Your XXL Merch Now Ye not dropping an album on the announced release date is one of the surest bets in hip-hop. The formula is pretty much always the same. He announces an album. He promotes the album. He gives fans a release date. Then, following a lull on updates, the clock strikes midnight on said day and…crickets. Yeezy supporters cry, complain and post angry GIFs on X, formerly known as Twitter. And they do it all again the next time. Thus was the case yet again on Friday (May 3), when Ye and Ty Dolla $ign‘s Vultures 2 did not drop after Ye stated it would. This isn’t a particularly g...

One springtime night a decade ago, bearded men wearing flip-flops kidnapped 276 girls from their boarding school dormitories in Chibok, north-eastern Nigeria. They forced the teenagers onto lorries and drove them deep into a vast forest in the savannah. "My captors did a lot of things to me and the other girls," says Glory Mainta, who was abducted that day. "We were beaten, shouted at – there’s nothing that they didn’t do to us. While they didn’t force us to marry them, what they did to us was worse. We were just managing till God saved us." It was a full two years before one of her fellow stu...
