(CNSNews.com) – The United Nations has invited a Black Lives Matter activist to participate in a high-level debate in New York on human rights, with a particular focus on "combatting discrimination and inequalities."
The two-day U.N. event Tuesday and Wednesday comes amid tensions over last week's police shootings of two black men in Minnesota and Louisiana, and the killing by a gunman of five police officers during a Black Lives Matter protest march in Dallas.
DADAAB, Kenya (AP) — Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai visited the world's largest refugee camp on her 19th birthday Tuesday and voiced concern that Kenya's plans to close it could create "a generation lost."
The government announced in May that it plans to close the camp in eastern Kenya near the Somali border by the end of the year, citing it as a security liability.
