The U.S. House recently passed a bill demanding TikTok owner ByteDance sell the app to a U.S. company within six months or face a ban. Democrats and Republicans say the popular video-sharing app TikTok poses a threat to national security as more than a hundred and seven million Americans use TikTok, supporters of the ban say data collected by the app could be used by the Chinese government to manipulate algorithms that they fear could ultimately sway voters, particularly ahead of the US presidential election in November. The bill has been sent to the Senate for votes, but analyses say even if it is passed, it will face a set of legal challenges. President of the United States Joe Biden says TikTok could be a national security risk, but in an election year banning TikTok could hurt Biden in the polls, especially among young voters. TikTok states that a forced sale will amount to banning the App Nation Wild, which will endanger three hundred thousand (300.0000) American jobs and the inco...

The United Nations can play a crucial role in supervising a referendum in the Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon to end all the unnecessary killing in these regions.  The presence of the United Nations can help ensure a fair, transparent, and credible process, which is essential for the legitimacy and acceptance of the referendum results. The United Nations has a history of involvement in conflict resolution and peacekeeping efforts around the world. In the case of Cameroon, the United Nations has already been engaged in addressing the Anglophone crisis. The African Union has also intervened in the conflict, highlighting regional and international concerns for a peaceful resolution. One thing that is worth mentioning is that these contributions have mostly been made words either condemning the killings or asking both sides to drop their weapons and call for dialogue. These have all been ignored by both camps. Many have also called on the United Nations and the African Unio...
