Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.

Arsal, Lebanon: History and Present Situation of a Border Town
Arsal is a border town in the Bekaa Governorate in northeastern Lebanon, located near the Lebanese-Syrian border, about 130 kilometers from the capital, Beirut. Located in the rugged eastern foothills of the Antillean Mountains, the town has historically served as an important trade route connecting Lebanon with Syria. With a population of around 40,000, predominantly Sunni Muslims, the economy is based on traditional agriculture and border trade, but has faced security challenges and refugee pressures in recent years due to the Syrian conflict. Arsal retains its traditional mountainous Lebanese village character and is known for the warmth and hospitality of its inhabitants, and despite the complexity of the situation, it remains a window into the culture and history of the Lebanese border.
