IRSA Follow-Up Report  Post Congress Update The State of Association — Still Missing It has now been over 48 hours since the General IRSA Congress ended, and the updated State of Association that President Akinpelu Samuel promised to deliver before the congress closed is yet to surface on any official platform. DSNA reached out to the General Secretary today at the Embassy for answers. Her response was telling ; the concerned executives are yet to send her any report, which is why she hasn't been able to share anything. In other words, the bottleneck isn't the General Secretary. The ball is squarely in the court of the executives who were tasked with updating their respective sections. The congress demanded this. The President acknowledged it publicly. Over 48 hours later, the silence continues. Good News : Freshers' Package Is on Its Way   On a brighter note, there is finally movement on the long-awaited Freshers' package.

Departmental Congress Report Harbinger Administration  The Department of International Relations held its congress under the Harbinger administration, led by President Akinpelu Samuel (SAM Impact). The congress was anchored by the President and the General Secretary, and kicked off at 3:30 PM. Turnout was quite low at the start — only 24 members were present when things got going. The congress opened the usual way, with the OAU anthem, before diving into the agenda. A Little Tension Early On Early in the session, members were asked to move forward in the classroom since the turnout was small and the room was large. Some refused, and this didn't sit well with others who felt it was disrespectful to the presiding officers and the congress itself. The issue was eventually settled without it getting out of hand. Minutes of the Last Congress The General Secretary read the minutes of the previous congress. After a few clarifications, the minutes were adopted. State of the Ass...

When Diplomacy Comes Before Citizens The recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa have once again exposed a painful reality in African geopolitics. The gap between the idea of African brotherhood and the experiences of ordinary Africans are different. For nearly two weeks, migrants from Nigeria, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, and other African countries faced intimidation, harassment, displacement, and violence as anti-migrant groups blamed foreigners for unemployment, crime, and poor public services. South African authorities condemned the attacks, while President Cyril Ramaphosa attributed growing tensions to poverty and high unemployment. Yet for many victims, these explanations offered little comfort as businesses were destroyed and lives disrupted. What has generated particular debate in Nigeria is not only the attacks themselves but also the Federal Government's response. While countries such as Ghana moved quickly to document losses, engage international institution...

DID YOU KNOW? PASSPORTS DID NOT ALWAYS EXIST Today, passports are essential documents for international travel, serving as proof of identity and nationality. However, passports have not always existed in the form we know them today. In ancient times, people could travel across many regions without carrying official travel documents. Instead, travelers often relied on letters of introduction, royal permits, or verbal assurances for safe passage. One of the earliest references to a passport-like document can be found in the Bible, where a Persian king granted permission and protection for a traveler named Nehemiah. During the Middle Ages, kings and rulers issued letters allowing individuals to travel safely through their territories. These documents were mainly used by merchants, diplomats, and important officials rather than ordinary citizens. Modern passports began to develop in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as governments sought greater control over borders...
