Sustainable Management of Water and Sanitation - Indonesia

Using conventional method equipment, an expert and his colleague, Suhendi, 45, are searching for the depth of a drilled well to get a source of clean water in the USU Residence III complex, Pewarta Foto Indonesia (PFI) Medan cluster, Patumbak, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, on May 5, 2025. The availability of clean water for subsidized houses in Indonesia is a crucial issue that is closely related to the existence of water throughout the world, which globally 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water, although only about 3% is fresh water, and most of it is bound in glaciers and ice sheets, defining the amount of fresh water that is easily accessible for human needs is very limited. Globally, billions of people still do not have access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation. Efforts to provide clean water for subsidised houses in Indonesia are part of Target 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), which is to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation

Captagon A Synthetic Stimulant That Earned Billions For The Assad Regime

Captagon A Synthetic Stimulant That Earned Billions For The Assad Regime

File photo dated July 01, 2020 - The Guardia di Finanza of Naples has seized in the Port of Salerno a large quantity of drugs, 14 tons of amphetamines, 84 million tablets with the "captagon" logo, produced in Syria by ISIS to finance terrorism. For years, Bschar al-Assad regime secretly netted three times more money than all of Mexico's cartels with a small white pill that everyone from ISIS terrorists to construction workers chased after. Captagon, known locally as the 'drug of jihad', and 'poor man's cocaine', was originally sold as a cure for attention deficit disorders, narcolepsy and depression when it was first developed by a German pharmaceutical firm in 1961. In 1986, Captagon was banned in almost all countries after it was listed as a Schedule II drug by the UN. Photo by Alessandro Garofalo/Newfotosud/napolipress/Fotogramma/IPA/ABACAPRESS.COM
