Cant wait to see that from you
There are a number of them showing up. It is not by mistake that they are happening at the same time.
the protest has been hijacked by hoodlums is no longer a peaceful one
hunger and depression can be a "hoodlum" that fueled violent and dangerous display of anger!
Nigeria is one of the most rich and industrious countries but currently, we are facing a lot of and we have an ongoing protest, hoping that those at the top will hear our cry and help make it a better place for us.
A country blessed with abundant natural resources, but seemingly plagued by bad leadership. Hoping things would get better in the nearest future!!!
That's the only country I have been to 😁 and we have delicious and varieties of delicacies.
Dubai: Dubai is home to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, standing at an incredible 828 meters (2,722 feet) high, a marvel of engineering and a symbol of the city's innovative spirit.

Sweden
Sweden
Education is fully tax-financed in Sweden, apart from higher education for people from outside the EU/EEA area and Switzerland, who will have to pay a tuition fee.

Population: more than 225 million.Pakistan is home to 108 peaks above 7,000 metres. At 8,611 metres, the highest peak is known as K2. K2 is on Mount Godwin Austen - the second-highest mountain in the world!
I never knew that the second highest mountain in the world is from Pakistan. That must be a very high mountain
Very high, I wish to see it someday

Exactly!

Maybe I think it is due to the depopulation around that city of Oregon due to it's position in the states
By the way, this a great thing to keep pushing into the database and feeding LeoAI.
Put some local stuff and see what we can add.
