African American Expatriates in Ghana React to U.S. Election Amidst Rising Global Concerns: From Saudi Satisfaction to Middle Eastern Tensions and Humanitarian Crises

African American expatriates in Ghana engage in U.S. politics while adapting to cultural shifts, as Saudi Arabia leads in global satisfaction surveys amidst broader global unrest. Meanwhile, Iran plans a military budget increase amid regional tension, and a UN report highlights severe human rights violations in Sudan, as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens.
As the U.S. presidential election draws near, African American expatriates in Ghana, drawn by the 2019 "Year of Return" initiative, find themselves deeply engaged in both American politics and their new cultural landscapes, supporting figures like Kamala Harris for her representation as a woman of color.

Meanwhile, a global survey reveals that Saudi Arabia ranks highest in personal satisfaction, with 84 percent of its citizens content, contrasting sharply with the lower satisfaction rates in countries such as South Korea, South Africa, and Japan, amidst widespread global unrest.

In the realm of economics, oil prices have remained relatively stable despite ongoing Middle Eastern tensions, thanks to the U.S.'s strategic petroleum purchases, though experts like ING Economics foresee a cautious market outlook due to prevailing supply-demand concerns.

Correspondingly, the tension in the Middle East escalates as Iran proposes to significantly increase its military budget in response to ongoing conflicts with Israel, framing a backdrop of regional strife and complex geopolitical dynamics influencing global security discussions.

Adding to the global humanitarian narrative, a UN report has brought to light the severe human rights violations occurring in Sudan's ongoing civil war, with widespread atrocities committed by paramilitary forces, resulting in massive displacement and a worsening humanitarian crisis.

Finally, the crisis in Gaza continues to unfold tragically, as families like Abu Razzak Al-Qassas and his relatives resort to living in cemeteries amidst dire shortages of necessities, exemplifying the escalated humanitarian desperation after a devastating conflict initiated by a Hamas attack in October.
