Pope Francis, the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, passed away at the age of 88 on April 21, 2025, at his residence in Vatican City. His death was officially announced by Cardinal Kevin Farrell during a Vatican Media broadcast. Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Argentina, made history in 2013 as the first Latin American and Jesuit pope. He was deeply admired around the world for his humility, progressive reforms, and strong advocacy for social justice, climate action, and interfaith dialogue.

During his papacy, he worked to modernize the Church, promote inclusivity, and reach out to marginalized communities. His leadership style was simple and compassionate, often choosing to live modestly and focus on people-centered issues. Following his death, global leaders, including India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressed their sorrow and praised his legacy. The Vatican has now entered a period known as sede vacante (the vacant seat), and preparations are underway for the conclave that will elect the next pope.

When the world’s most powerful MILITARY landed in Somalia in 1993, they thought it would be a quick job — in and out, one hour tops. But the streets of MOGADISHU turned into a deadly trap that even the best-trained soldiers could barely survive. Black Hawk helicopters fell from the sky. Soldiers were outnumbered, outgunned, and surrounded by locals fighting for their land.

This is the true story behind OPERATION BLACK HAWK DOWN — a mission that changed how AMERICA fights its wars abroad. Many young soldiers paid with their lives, while Somali families lost even more. What lesson did the world learn? And did anyone truly win?
