It was the worst of times, it was the best of times — the overall new-vehicle market has confounded most predictions to outshine last year.
Queen Elizabeth II declared 1992 to be her “annus horribilis” after personal and family disasters made it a year to forget. King Juan Carlos of Spain and Ghanaian-born UN secretary-general Kofi Annan had their own, while some world leaders named Covid-ravaged 2020 as the world’s annus horribilis.

Trapped in the war-racked nation since 2015, none of these South Africans have been charged with a crime and HRW urged the South African government to resume its aborted efforts to bring them back.

It should help rehabilitate and reintegrate the returnees, recognizing that children are victims of ISIS and that many women may be, too," HRW said.
