One, the Knights of Malta are not in Malta anymore, (Napoleon threw them out) but in a building in Rome. They run clinics and medical help to poor countries (I worked with a nun running a leper clinic in Liberia that was funded by them). Cardinal Burke was thrown out by the Pope who is taking them over to make them into a NGO that pushes birth control etc.
Two: The country of Malta is a target for a lot of the migrants from Africa, since they are part of the European union and near to Libya. They are independent but used to be under the UK, and there are locals and lots of ex pats living there.
Three: A journalist named Daphne Caruana Galizia was killed by a bomb in Malta in Oct 2017: Her blog was whistleblowing on corruption, money laundering and fake passports in the European union.
Sorry if this is off topic.
