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.

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.
