Farmers’ protests in India garner celebrity support
Protesting farmers ride tractors and shout slogans as they march to the capital breaking police barricades during India’s Republic Day celebrations in New Delhi, India.
The protests led by farmers in India are entering their third month with no sign of ending. Now, global celebrities are weighing in on the standoff including Rihanna and Greta Thunberg. And, the people helping manage vaccine shortages and rising cases of the coronavirus in populations across African countries are some of the best equipped for responding to infectious diseases and the pandemic. But the continent is now facing a second, more threatening wave of COVID-19. Also, Scandinavia’s largest festival, the Göteborg Film Festival, is going ahead this year but for an audience of one.
