War broke out in Sudan in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group that was once supported by the army but now competes with it for control.

As of November 14, 2024, at least 61,000 people have been killed in Khartoum State, with 26,000 of those deaths directly attributed to the violence.

The fight against corruption is non-negotiable if the Republic of Moldova wants to join the European Union. After winning a runoff presidential vote and scoring a razor-thin victory in a referendum on Moldova’s future direction of travel (the country chose the EU), President Maia Sandu now has an even harder battle ahead that she cannot afford to lose: reforming a notoriously corrupt justice system.
