Some people live trapped inside their own heads: the campaign that wants to raise awareness about migraine

SAPO Notícias8 September 2026 at 12:33

The "Migraine is a prison" campaign was launched with the objective of raising awareness about the reality experienced by people who suffer from migraine. The initiative seeks to alert society to the significant impact this neurological condition has on the lives of those who endure it.

For those living with migraine, the headache represents much more than a simple episode of passing discomfort. The condition can become a debilitating experience that profoundly affects the daily lives of patients.

The campaign emphasizes that migraine can force people to completely stop their activities, missing work, interrupting studies, or canceling personal and social plans. This reality demonstrates the incapacitating nature of the disease.

The main objective of the campaign is to raise public awareness about this frequently minimized reality, showing that migraine is not just a common headache, but a condition that can function as a true prison for those living with it.

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.
