As well as two dams, Mrs Clinton unveiled funding for drinking water and irrigation projects, and health centres.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
