Last update: 7 hours agoUNESCO World Heritage Milestone for Comoros: At the 48th World Heritage Committee session in Busan, UNESCO inscribed Comoros’ historic medinas—living towns of palaces, mosques, squares and narrow streets dating back to at least the 12th century—marking the archipelago’s first World Heritage entries and raising hopes for preservation even as officials warn many structures are fragile. Global Heritage Update: UNESCO also added 25 new sites worldwide (19 cultural, 5 natural, 1 mixed), including the Beaches of the D-Day Landings in Normandy and Greece’s Mount Olympus, while placing several threatened properties under emergency protection. Travel Rights and Passports: A new report argues that birthplace and passport power shape freedom of movement, highlighting high Schengen rejection rates for Comoros and other countries and pointing to tighter Europe entry rules that can hit African travelers and residents. Culture, Sport, and Youth: Namibia’s basketball coach Alpha Sankoh was selected to attend an African Mini-Basketball Convention in Comoros, bringing together coaches and children for grassroots learning and school-based development.
