Mozambique starts three days of mourning

Mozambique started three days of national mourning on Wednesday after a powerful cyclone and flooding killed hundreds of people and left a trail of destruction across swathes of southeast Africa. Mozambique’s President Filipe Nyusi said a day earlier that the cyclone had killed more than 200 people in his country but rescuers were still discovering more bodies. A mourning is, in the simplest sense, grief over someone's death. So the country will participate in active memorials for those who lost their lives and do their utmost to support the families who experienced loss.

Mitt Romney criticized President Donald Trump for a series of attacks he made against the late Sen. John McCain, who Romney called an "honorable" and "courageous" man. Romney, in a tweet Tuesday evening, hailed McCain, a longtime senator, veteran and former prisoner of war, and questioned the reasoning behind Trump's attacks, which continued on Tuesday — months after McCain's August death after a battle with brain cancer. "I can’t understand why the President would, once again, disparage a man as exemplary as my friend John McCain.” Earlier Tuesday, Trump defended his ongoing attacks McCain and said he never liked the Arizona senator due to differences on health care and Russia. Supporters of McCain said they don't understand why Trump would continually criticize a dead man, especially one who represented Republicans as their 2008 presidential nominee. "With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable,” the Utah Republican and 2012 presidential nominee wrote. “And it is in this province where the incumbent’s shortfall has been most glaring.”
