The civilian cost of Pakistan’s counter-terrorism war in Afghanistan

In late February, Pakistan launched ‘open war’ on Afghanistan with Operation Ghazal lil-Haq (Wrath for the Truth), marking the most violent period of fighting between the two countries since the Taliban takeover in 2021. For Pakistan, it was a war of retaliation against the Tehreek-e-Taliban, or TTP, a militia sympathetic to the Afghan Taliban. Pakistan has long accused Afghanistan of offering safe harbour to the TTP ‘Tashkeel,’ or administrative structures and combat units, and was fed up with inaction.

Venezuela's Deadliest Earthquake in a Century Exposes Failures in Emergency Response

‘This is the worst disaster we’ve ever experienced,’ said Ana Carballo, calm and holding her dog while in an improvised tent in Parque del Este. Venezuelans were confronting what may be the worst natural catastrophe in the last century, casting a deep shadow of grief and fear across the country and its diaspora. ‘We survived something so big and devastating, we can only pray and feel blessed’, Carballo said.

Pre-monsoon floods wipe out Boro rice harvests in Bangladesh’s haor wetlands

On a raised rural road cutting through Bangladesh’s haor wetlands, 70-year-old farmer Firoz Khandaker sat surrounded by his family, spreading out freshly harvested but water-soaked rice to dry in the sun. Around him, water stretched endlessly across submerged fields, an image that captured the scale of this year’s agricultural disaster in the country’s north-eastern floodplain.

Gender Politics in the Indian Subcontinent

India is a country of legal contradictions on gender and sexuality. The Supreme Court decriminalised same-sex relations in 2018, striking down a colonial-era law that had criminalised millions. Yet the same court declined to legalise same-sex marriage in 2023, leaving LGBTQ+ couples without inheritance rights, adoption rights or the legal recognition that heterosexual partners take for granted. A Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act exists on paper, but rights groups argue it has set back the community it was designed to protect. Some of the contradictions are structural. Gay and bisexual men remain barred from donating blood in India under policies that have persisted for decades — even as the country faces critical shortages and even as medical bodies in other countries ...

The Women They Called Witches in Malawi

At 83 years old, Nasitima Chikadwala still remembers the fear that consumed her every day. Inside a small grass-thatched hut in rural Lilongwe, she endured years of humiliation and violence after relatives accused her of practising witchcraft because she could not bear children. The abuse intensified after her husband died in a road accident, leaving her isolated and vulnerable. She was beaten by her own relatives, who accused her of being a witch and bringing bad luck to the family. (image) Would you like us to summarize articles for you?

Venezuela's Political Prisoners Left in the Dark After Devastating Earthquakes

Less than 48 hours after two earthquakes struck Venezuela on 24 June 2026, the human toll was still being counted. The first tremor hit at 6:04 pm, registered a magnitude of 7.2; the second struck 39 seconds later, at 6:05 pm, registered a magnitude of 7.5. More than a minute and a half of shaking destroyed hundreds of buildings and homes across the country. Venezuela has declared a state of national emergency. This report was filed from Caracas, as aftershocks continued and relatives of political prisoners demanded information from Venezuelan authorities about conditions inside the country’s prisons. In the early hours of 25 June, the Comité por la Libertad de los Presos Políticos de Venezuela (Committee for the Freedom of Political Prisoners in Venezuela, CLIPPVE) issued its

Can Gaza’s 26 June Demonstrations Mark the Beginning of a New Civic Movement?

As 26 June approaches, growing numbers of Palestinians across the Gaza Strip are discussing what many hope will become one of the most significant public demonstrations against Hamas in years. organised under the slogan ‘We Want to Live,’ the initiative reflects mounting frustration over years of political repression, economic collapse, and the devastating human consequences of the ongoing war. The campaign is organised by a network of Gaza activists living abroad in co-operation with Palestinians inside the Strip. Over recent weeks, organisers have relied on social media, personal networks, and grassroots communication to encourage peaceful public participation. Their objective extends beyond a single day of protest: they hope 26 June will mark the beginning of a sustained civic ...
