Mexico, Enforced disappearance [Video]

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador promised when he was elected in 2018 to determine the truth about one of the country’s most infamous unresolved atrocities: the 2014 kidnapping and enforced disappearance of 43 student teachers.Instead, he has allowed his allies in the military to obstruct the investigation by hiding key evidence that experts believe could contain clues about what happened to the students.President López Obrador should use his authority to make the army release the evidence it has from the night the students disappeared.And Mexico’s friends and allies should urge the president to keep his word and ensure there is a credible investigation into the students’ disappearance.

Family Vacation Full Of Ups And Downs [Video]

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime, but it started rocky with my 19-year-old and 21-year-old complaining that I didn’t do enough planning because we encountered difficulties navigating the train system in Italy.My adult children decided they wanted to explore on their own, so my husband and I did separate activities from the kids during much of the first week. I was disappointed, but I didn’t want that to ruin a trip I’ve been dreaming about for a long time. When we got to the towns of my relatives, the stress diminished. There was more relaxation and conversation and less sightseeing. Visiting the homeland of all of my grandparents turned into wonderful discoveries around every corner. Everyone in Italy is warm and welcoming, the views are gorgeous, the food is amazing, and the history is inspiring. The video shows the highlights on our visit to Rome, Pisa, Pompeii, Cinque Terre, the Amalfi Coast and the towns of my ancestors and relatives I had never previously met – Raiano and Avezzano.
