Cancer Rising in Africa | Fargo News

Cancer in sub-Saharan Africa is set to more than double by 2050, driven by aging, urbanization, and rising tobacco and alcohol use—forcing patients into later-stage diagnoses with limited access to care. Without radiotherapy centers and facing out-of-pocket costs that swallow 80% of treatment expenses, many sell assets or take loans. Beyond the physical toll, survivors endure social rejection and stigma, often abandoned by families and communities. Yet hope persists: Nigeria’s health investments, HPV vaccine rollouts, and prevention campaigns aim to turn the tide, pushing for a future where cancer doesn’t mean financial ruin or isolation.

Water, Power, and Exploitation in Kenya | Fargo News

In Kenya’s drought-stricken informal settlements, women are forced into horrific “sextortion” schemes—exchanging sexual favors for water—when private vendors hike prices beyond reach. As Parliament begins addressing this overlooked form of gender-based violence, survivors stay silent out of fear or distrust in justice systems. Advocates push for targeted laws and infrastructure, countering dismissals that existing statutes suffice. Meanwhile, powerful water cartels operate with impunity, exploiting scarcity and weak oversight to trap women and transgender people in cycles of abuse.
