Former U.S. President Donald Trump returned to the United Nations on Tuesday, blending boasts of his second-term foreign policy achievements with sharp criticism of the world body, while delivering stern warnings to Europe over migration and energy policies. Addressing the General Assembly, Trump described the UN as a “feckless institution” that too often issues “empty words” instead of pursuing meaningful action. He said Europe risked being “ruined” if it continued down what he called a “double-tailed monster” of ill-conceived migration strategies and dependence on green energy. The combative remarks underscored Trump’s longstanding skepticism of multilateral institutions, which he has previously…

Across the continent, HRDs are often targeted through arbitrary arrests, digital surveillance, harassment, and even physical violence. From journalists exposing corruption in West Africa, to grassroots activists defending land rights in East Africa, to…
For more than three centuries, the Muslim world has endured decline, disunity, and subjugation, historians and analysts say, tracing a trajectory from the fall of the Mughal Empire to the dismantling of the Ottoman Caliphate and the partitioning of Arab lands by colonial powers. The lessons of this history, argues political commentator Jamil Orakzai, remain urgent today. “World politics is not a garden of justice but an arena of power. In this arena, weakness translates into humiliation,” he writes, stressing that the decline of Muslim nations was compounded by internal division and intellectual stagnation. From the eighteenth century onward, Muslim…
A century after the collapse of the Ottoman Caliphate, debates over Muslim unity continue to resonate across the globe. The disintegration of the Caliphate in the aftermath of the First World War not only marked the fall of a political institution but also shattered a unifying symbol of collective leadership for the global Muslim community. During the war, thousands of Indian soldiers under the British Indian Army were deployed against the Ottoman Empire, then the seat of the last Caliphate. For many Muslims, this remains a painful memory—one where colonial powers forced Muslims to fight fellow Muslims, underscoring the divisions…
Malawians will head to the polls on Tuesday, with President Lazarus Chakwera fighting for a second term under the shadow of economic turmoil, rising unemployment, and growing public frustration. The atmosphere stands in sharp contrast to the optimism that ushered him into office four years ago in a landmark victory. Chakwera, a former church leader who spent 24 years as President of the Malawi Assemblies of God before entering politics in 2013, rose to prominence after the Constitutional Court annulled the disputed 2019 presidential election. His subsequent triumph in the fresh poll of June 2020 made him Malawi’s sixth president…
StandWithUs, a U.S.-based pro-Israel advocacy group, has announced the cancellation of its planned April 26–May 3, 2026 mission to Spain, citing what it described as the Spanish government’s “constant hostility” toward Israel and the Jewish people. The organization said the move is in direct response to Spain’s stated plans to recognize a Palestinian state, a decision it argues would “reward Hamas and the Palestinian Authority for terrorism against Israel and its citizens.” Roz Rothstein, CEO and Co-Founder of StandWithUs, strongly criticized Spain’s position:“Hamas still has Jewish blood on its hands from the savagery of October 7th, 2023, marked by torture,…
