Hello, and welcome to Issue 126!

To all those getting restless as to why this edition didn’t land up on time in your inbox, kindly accept our sincere apologies. We try our best to bring you the weekly edition in time, but on some exceptionally eventful days like this last weekend, we can get late. 

But here we are, and we bring you updates from India, Indonesia, and New Zealand and the spotlight is on Senegal. In case you missed last week’s edition, you can read it here.
