Naga villages are usually built on hilltops for security, something that wasn’t considered when the British East India Company drew the border in an agreement with the then-Kingdom of Burma.ólicoenunauniversidadsecularpuedeserundesafíootroslovencomounabendicióDennis Dostey Dorve, a driver and a part-time fisherman, stands on a fallen tree next to his late father’s room, collapsed by the sea in the family home in Avegadzi, Ghana, Wednesday, March 5, 2025 (AP Photo/Misper Apawu)
