Trumpism With A Biden Face: US Haitian Policy

Humanitarian Assistance To Afghanistan
War-torn Afghanistan is facing severe challenges. The abrupt evacuation of the US troops, and instant surrender of the Afghan National Army, have not given time for the Taliban to plan for governance.

From 9/11 To Covid: The Refusal Of The Debate

Weaponised Refugees And Hybrid Attacks

Ukrainian President Zelensky’s demand that those of his citizens who consider themselves Russian move to that eponymous neighboring country is self-defeating since it exposes his government’s ethno-fascist policies while making Moscow’s own case that the Eurasian Great Power is one of the world’s multicultural centers. The West long sought to […]
Targeting The Medical Evidence: The US Challenge On Assange’s Health

Global Britain Slashes International Aid
“Decisions on aid are eroding trust and eroding relationships between the UK and developing countries.” Abby Baldoumas, Financial Times, July 15, 2021 Politics is not merely the art of the possible but the pursuit of concerted hypocrisy.
