Steady Progress in Birth Registration, but Millions Remain UncountedThe global rate of birth registration for children under five has seen a significant boost, with over 500 million births recorded in the last five years. This accounts for approximately 8 in 10 children, according to UNICEF’s latest report, The Right Start in Life: Global Levels and Trends in Birth Registration, 2024 Update. However, 150 million children under five remain unregistered, leaving them effectively invisible to legal and government systems. Key Findings of the UNICEF Report The report highlights that 77% of children globally have their births registered, up from 75% in 2019. However, an alarming 50 million registered children lack birth certificates—essential documents required to confirm nationality, prevent statelessness, and ensure access to fundamental rights and services like healthcare and education. Catherine Russell, UNICEF’s Executive Director, emphasized the critical role of birth registration in safeguarding children. “Birth registration provides immediate legal recognition, protecting children from harm and ensuring access to essential services,” she stated. Regional Insights: Gaps and Achievements Global progress in birth registration is attributed to various efforts, such as expanding services, digitalization, eliminating fees, and integrating registration with health and education systems. Notably, sub-Saharan Africa faces unique challenges, including slow progress and a rapidly growing child population, which could result in over 100 million unregistered children by 2030 without intensified efforts. Barriers to Registration Families encounter numerous obstacles to registering their children, including: Success Stories: Lessons for Others Some countries in sub-Saharan Africa are defying the odds. Botswana has achieved universal registration, while Côte d’Ivoire has surpassed 90%. Other nations, such as Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Tanzania, have also demonstrated steady progress, offering valuable models for replication. UNICEF’s Call to Action To achieve universal birth registration, UNICEF recommends the following five key actions: “Too many children remain invisible to the law and governments,” Russell stated. “Every child deserves the right to recognition and protection through birth registration.” READ ALSO: Follow the LMSINT MEDIA channel on WhatsApp: Join Our WhatsApp Group Hear: Chat on WhatsApp Join our Telegram Chanel.
A devastating airstrike by Sudan’s military targeted a bustling market in North Darfur, claiming over 100 lives and leaving hundreds injured. The attack occurred in Kabkabiya, approximately 180 kilometers west of El-Fasher, during the town’s weekly market day. Residents from nearby villages had gathered, making the tragedy even more catastrophic, according to the Emergency Lawyers, a pro-democracy advocacy group documenting the ongoing conflict. The war between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has caused tens of thousands of deaths, displaced over 11 million people, and plunged Sudan into a humanitarian crisis the United Nations describes as unprecedented in modern history. Humanitarian Toll and Escalation Footage from civil society groups revealed harrowing scenes of destruction, showing survivors sifting through rubble and burned remains. While the RSF has used drones in some attacks, only the Sudanese army possesses fighter jets, maintaining air dominance over the war-ravaged region. The Sudanese military defended its operations, claiming to target rebel bases, while dismissing allegations of civilian casualties as “lies” spread by RSF-affiliated groups. However, reports from eyewitnesses and humanitarian organizations paint a grim picture of deliberate attacks on civilian areas, contradicting both sides’ claims of targeting only military assets. Regional Devastation Darfur, a region as large as France, has become a focal point of violence, with the RSF controlling much of the area. Meanwhile, clashes in other parts of Sudan, including Omdurman, have intensified. On Monday, paramilitary shelling of a passenger bus in Omdurman killed at least 15 people, with hospitals overwhelmed by casualties. Civilian Impact and International Condemnation Both warring factions stand accused of war crimes, including indiscriminate bombings and targeting residential areas. Human Rights Watch recently condemned RSF and allied Arab militias for committing atrocities against civilians, particularly in South Kordofan, urging international bodies to intervene to protect vulnerable populations. The violence shows no signs of abating, with escalating strikes creating unbearable conditions for millions of displaced Sudanese. Calls for international action grow louder as civilians bear the brunt of this relentless conflict.

The United Nations General Assembly is set to vote on a resolution calling for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. This follows a similar initiative blocked by a United States veto in the UN Security Council. The resolution also demands the immediate release of all hostages and unhindered humanitarian aid access to Gaza, where civilians have endured over a year of conflict, particularly in the severely affected northern region. Key Points of the Resolution: Background of the Conflict: The current escalation began with Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack, which claimed 1,208 lives and saw 251 hostages taken, as per official data. Israeli military operations have since resulted in over 44,786 deaths in Gaza, primarily civilians, according to UN-verified data from the Gaza Health Ministry. Reactions and Criticism: Palestinian UN ambassador Riyad Mansour referred to Gaza as “the bleeding heart of Palestine,” urging global action to address the dire humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon criticized the resolution for not addressing what he termed “the infrastructure of hate” and accused the UNRWA of complicity in Hamas’s actions. Additional Proposals: A separate resolution will call for Israel to respect the UNRWA mandate, enabling its continued humanitarian operations. This comes after Israel’s ban on the agency, set to take effect on January 28, drew widespread international criticism.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD …if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9). When you confessed the Lordship of Jesus, believing that God raised Him from the dead, you received eternal life; you were born into Christ and Christ came into you. You now have His life, His nature, and His spirit. This also means you’ll never go to hell because Jesus Christ, the light of the world, lives in you. He already went to hell in your place and defeated Satan and his cohorts of darkness in hell (Colossians 2:15). When He obtained the victory in hell, you were in Him. Accordingly, you have victory over hell, sin and death. No wonder the Bible says, “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). In the Day of Judgment, you’ll boldly face the Master because as He is so are you. How is He? He’s righteous and holy; and so are you. Colossians 1:21-22 says, “And you…hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” It’s His doing; we didn’t ask for any of these: It pleased Him to make us partakers of the divine nature—associates of the God-kind (2 Peter 1:4). 1 John 5:11-12 says, “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life…” (NIV). When you made Jesus the Lord of your life, His divine life supplanted your human life. Like Him, you possess the organic and existential attributes of deity. You’re a God-carrying vessel; you’re one in whom all of divinity dwells. The Bible says concerning Jesus: “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). Then the very next verse says, “And ye are complete in him…” (Colossians 2:10). This means you have what He has, for you’re a joint-heir with Him (Romans 8:17). You’re where He is; you’re seated with Him in the place of dominion, great glory, power and authority (Ephesians 2:6). You can do all things (Philippians 4:13), for you function in His Name and in His sufficiency (2 Corinthians 3:5). These and more are the realities now that Jesus is Lord of your life. PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for my new life in Christ Jesus; I rejoice that I am now in Christ and He is in me. His life, nature and Spirit are at work within me. I have what He has, for l’m a joint-heir with Him. I’m where He is because I’m seated with Him in the place of dominion, great glory, power and authority. I can do all things because I act in His Name and in His sufficiency. Blessed be God!
