The repression of political opposition and civil dissent is on the rise in Morocco, leading to concerns. The government employs a mix of legal mechanisms, digital surveillance, character assassination, and physical force against political opposition and civil dissent. As per the reports of the British Broadcasting Corporation and Cable News Network, several hundred protesters were arrested in the anti-government movements in recent months. In October this year, violent clashes erupted between protesters and security forces over corruption and other concerns, leading to the arrests and detention of many of them. But — more importantly— it remains uncertain how much the political and civil…
The imposition of restrictions in Afghanistan one after another has led to concerns. As the reports of multiple sources including the BBC and CNN indicate, the Taliban government, which came to power in 2021 through a rapid war against the then democratically elected Afghan government, has been putting restrictions on its citizens almost unprecedentedly. But — since then —the restrictions were mostly imposed by the government on freedom of expression, women’s rights and the rights of minorities. While there is anger among the Afghans, there is international criticism against such restrictions. But there are no positive outcomes. More importantly, it remains unclear…
El Salvador has huge development potentials. As a developing country with a GDP per capita of USD 5,548.0 (in 2024), El Salvador has improved its economic, social and other conditions that have helped improve the lives of its people. But it has further potentials to improve its economic conditions, political grounds and other grounds.

El Salvador — moreover — has the potential to improve its business conditions through digital transformation, promote…
The Gaza peace plan has ended the conflicts. As per the BBC and CNN, the peace plan was reached in October and most of the hostages and prisoners have already been exchanged. The peace plan, which was also passed in the United Nations, is promising and can lead to a lasting peace not only in
The possibility of a humanitarian ceasefire has raised hope in Sudan. The ceasefire may be reached between the two warring parties such as the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) soon to facilitate the humanitarian aid in Sudan. The RSF has already agreed to the humanitarian ceasefire proposal from the United States and several other countries, though there has yet to be any response from the Sudanese government forces to it. This is a promising move and — perhaps — can create a scope for ending the civil war in Sudan, which has been going on for more…
The resolution of the Ukraine war has remained afar, despite the ongoing peace process. As per the reports of the BBC and CNN, the peace talks between the United States, the main supporter of Ukraine in the war, and Russia have been canceled, leading to uncertainty over the peace process. Moreover, the US led peace process has yet to lead to the direct talks between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine and the involvement of Europe, which has been providing military support and finances from the very beginning of the war. But it remains whether the war in Europe can…

Tensions have been growing in Africa, especially in several parts, leading to concerns. As per the reports of the BBC and CNN, armed conflicts and political crises are going on in several countries in Africa. While there are armed conflicts in DR Congo, Mali, Sudan and several other countries, leading to many deaths and hundreds of thousands of displacements, and there are political tensions in Madagascar, Kenya, Nigeria and several other countries in Africa. But it remains unclear whether and how much tensions will be reduced in Africa — where conflicts are more frequent than any other region and which has…
Execution is on the rise in many countries, leading to concerns. As per the reports of the BBC and CNN, the execution has been rising in many countries. But the execution is rising since 2015 in different countries, though the number of global executions does not decisively rise every year. While there were 1634 executions in 2015, the number of executions was 1153 in 2023 and 1518 in 2024 globally. Though global concerns have been growing over the execution, it is being carried out in more than 50 countries at present and is on the rise in many countries. Though…
