US officials are struggling to keep up with the increasing number of migrants arriving at the southern border and seeking asylum. Beginning this week, asylum officers will screen a small number of migrants at the border in temporary facilities.

Their arrival signals a new chapter in the effort to forge peace in Yemen's long civil war, but few have faith that a deal will change the lives of the Yemeni people. Also, the first tranche of funding from the International Monetary Fund was transferred into Sri Lanka's government coffers late last month. But after the island nation's economic and political collapse last summer, prices for electricity and fuel, as well as food insecurity rates, are still high. Plus, Sierra Leone's Bai Kamara, Jr. is the "traveling medicine man."
