Body of Pakistani Girl Killed in Texas School Shooting Is Returned Home
Just days before she was to go home to Pakistan after her time as a foreign exchange student, Sabika Sheikh, 17, was killed in the shooting at Santa Fe High School.This bit of a mass shooting has little additional meaning in the U.S.
The Government of Pakistan attaches great importance to it.
Pakistan is seeking more reasons to be hostile to the U.S.
The State Department should be making an apologetic fuss and pulling in Trump for a formal apology.

‘Wrath of Coastal Erosion’ Is Devouring a Senegal Fishing Hub
Saint-Louis, on Senegal’s Atlantic coast, has Unesco-protected architecture and a bustling fishing community. But coastal erosion threatens, and is accelerating."Mr. Diagne used to live in Doun Baba Dièye, a village of fishermen, cattle breeders and farmers just south of Saint-Louis. But in 2003, scrambling to evacuate floodwaters swelling around the city, the Senegalese authorities hastily dug a channel in the Langue de Barbarie."
A very bad error. The channel directs the sand offshore.
