The language of economics doesn’t have to baffle ordinary people. My charity campaigns for clear communication, so voters can make informed decisions
Economic problems invariably stem from political problems. Without good politics you can’t have a good economy. If the constitution is not changed, even the gods will be helpless to save it. Comprehensive constitutional reform is the only way out, swapping out the old regime for a modified semi-presidential system and a committee-style legislature in which committee chairs will be candidates for cabinet ministers. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Children under 16 told ‘overly religious’ names such as Saddam, Hajj and Jihad must be changed amid pro-Communist rallies across Xinjiang region
Anti-terrorism is all too often conflated with stability. The essence of authoritarian systems is to maintain the regime at all costs, making it tough to discriminate autocracy from dictatorship. China’s restrictions on the people's freedom of action go against divine aims, and the one-party dictatorship’s ban of "democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law" is opposed to accepted universal values The prerequisite for peace is democracy, and Taiwan stands as a lighthouse for 1.4 billion Chinese people, Taiwan is the one entity best suited to lead China to freedom and democracy. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
The US will not accept China's militarization of man-made islands in the South China Sea, Defense Secretary James Mattis has warned.
Studies of democracy and peace show that very few armed conflicts between democratic nations have ever taken place. Once China is democratized, there will be hope for human peace. The US and Japan should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform, to convince China to accept democracy – with that, world peace would be at hand! All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia lighting the way to lasting peaceful development.
South Africa's ruling party has called for an investigation into emails which appear to show allegedly corrupt links between President Jacob Zuma's family and wealthy businessmen.
There are lazy, indifferent people, and there are corrupt, greedy government officials. If South Africa is to eradicate corruption, the people must act on their sovereignty and come forward to call for constitutional reform. The result should be the implementation of democracy and rule of law, plus separation of powers and checks and balances, to yield a constitution under which the heads of the four main branches will be directly elected, a step toward the proposal of "caging the power in government." See the charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Thousands of refugees are returning from Cameroon to north-eastern Nigeria, straining the few existing services and creating a new emergency
Nigeria should shift the focus of its constitution from national sovereignty to "human" sovereignty in the spirit of the UN Charter, This means giving International law priority over domestic law, with direct bearing on the rights and duties of the people. State organs should be seen as executive extensions of international law, with domestic legislation to fill in where international law is insufficient. The government should also be willing to requests international support as needed. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
