 UNICEF warns about escalating crisis in eastern Congo, urges global action UNICEF has urged the international community not to remain indifferent to the worsening situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where fighting between government forces and the March 23 Movement (M23) rebel group continues to endanger millions. Spokesperson James Elder emphasized to Anadolu that the crisis will deepen unless addressed through political engagement and financial support. Elder, who recently spent one week in Goma, in the east of that country, described the region as facing a near ā€œdisasterā€ due to the Mpox virus outbreak combined with violence. ā€œUNICEF and partners were rushing to support across the region to ensure it just did not spread further.

EMMETT TILL'S ACCUSER '"CAROLYN BRYANT DONHAM " PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 88.(PHOTOS).


Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman who accused black teenager Emmett Till of making improper advances at her, leading to him being lynched, has d!ed at the age of 88. 


Donham, who had been battling cancer, died Tuesday night, April 25, in hospice care in Westlake, Louisiana, according to a dĀ£ath report filed Thursday, April 27, in Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s Office in Louisiana. 


Till’s kidnapping and k!lling became a catalyst for the civil rights movement when his mother insisted on an open-casket funeral in their hometown of Chicago after his brutalized body was pulled from a river in Mississippi. 


Till traveled from Chicago to visit relatives in Mississippi in August 1955. Donham — then named Carolyn Bryant — accused him of making improper advances on her at a grocery store in the small community of Money. 


The Rev. Wheeler Parker, a cousin of Till who was there, had said 14-year-old Till whistled at the woman. 


Evidence indicates a woman identified Emmett Till to Carolyn's then-husband Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milam, who killed the teenager. 


An all-white jury acquitted the two white men in the k!lling, but the men later confessed in an interview with Look magazine. 


In an unpublished memoir obtained by The Associated Press in 2022, Donham said she was unaware of what would happen to the 14-year-old Till. Donham was 21 at the time.
