Duarte, an 11-year-old boy from Coimbra, had his wish fulfilled by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which gave him a PlayStation 5. The child, who likes to play football and is a Benfica fan, had his dream turned into reality through this organization that grants wishes to children and young people with serious illnesses.

Make-A-Wish is an international foundation present in almost 50 countries, including Portugal, dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of children and young people diagnosed with serious conditions. The organization works to provide moments of hope, strength, and joy to the young beneficiaries and their families.

The moment of the console delivery was marked by great emotion. Duarte, who had been eagerly waiting for this moment, received the gift with enthusiasm, becoming one of the thousands of young people around the world who have already seen their wishes fulfilled by the foundation.

Make-A-Wish Portugal continues to work to fulfill the dreams of children in vulnerable situations, offering experiences that go beyond medical treatment and that contribute to improving the quality of life of young people and their families.

Mozambique: raid in Niassa aims for economic and media impact, says analyst

Analyst Peter Bofin considered that the insurgent attack that destroyed a tourist camp associated with Portuguese-Mozambican coach Carlos Queiroz in Niassa province, northern Mozambique, had multiple objectives: logistical resupply, economic impact on the tourism and hunting sector, and international propaganda for the Islamic State. The attack killed at least one person, displaced 2,700 people, and resulted in the kidnapping of 11 people. Despite the scale of the incursion, the analyst ruled out the possibility of it representing a sustained expansion of the insurgency to Niassa, considering it an isolated action, since the group does not have the necessary logistical support networks to maintain a permanent presence in the region. The responsible group reportedly departed from the district of Montepuez, in Cabo Delgado, a province rich in natural gas affected by insurgency since 2017.
