Russia’s influence in Africa is growing fast. From political alliances to mercenaries on the ground, it’s reshaping how conflicts play out across the continent. Understanding how this expanding footprint is causing instability is crucial. crisisgroup.org/europe-central…

Sudan’s war is a stark reminder that conflicts today are complicated, messy, and rarely local. Multiple actors, shifting alliances. It’s a lot to untangle but a rare opening could. ⁦⁦⁦Alan Boswell⁩ on what’s really happening in Foreign Affairs. foreignaffairs.com/sudan/sudans-w…

The United Nations will cut a quarter of peacekeepers in 11 operations around the world in the coming months due to a lack of money, senior U.N. officials said on Wednesday, and as future funding from the United States remains uncertain.

#IndiaAtUN Hon’ble MPs interacted with Richard Gowan and his team from Crisis Group. They had an engaging discussion on various aspects of the United Nations, including the current challenges and overall state of play. Poonamben Maadam PP Chaudhary Vivek Tankha @Captbrijesh @Sphangnon

It's been a privilege to lead UK at the UN 🇬🇧🇺🇳 for the last 5 years. Thank you for the friendship & collaboration across the UN in our shared commitment to multilateralism & the pursuit of the Charter’s promise: A world where rights triumph over force & hope triumphs over despair.

This is fun, but it omits one important point: NYC and London feel very similar, at least in Manhattan/Central London. The same shows, the same food trends, same stores. 20 years ago, when I moved to NYC, it felt like a different culture. Now these are two urban peas in a pod.

Boo. A great performer. nytimes.com/2025/10/12/art…

Another NYC-London similarity is that you can see New York Jets lose in either city.

.Joost Hiltermann and @NatashaHallDCT discuss the U.S.-brokered agreement between Israel and Hamas—and consider what Washington must do to achieve “the ‘strong, durable and everlasting peace’ that the president says he wants.” foreignaffairs.com/israel/gaza-de…

The war in #Sudan has proven particularly difficult to resolve, namely due to the meddling of foreign powers. But joint efforts from the 'Quad' seek to change that. Colleagues Shewit Woldemichael, Alan Boswell and Yasmine Farouk ياسمين فاروق break down the ins and outs. crisisgroup.org/africa/sudan/c…

Will the #UNSC play a role in the #Gaza plan? "So if the Arabs and Europeans push the idea of a resolution together, and link it to offers of troops and financing for Gaza, it could happen," I tell POLITICOEurope. politico.eu/article/german…

it’s a 2 minute radio program, never repeated, broadcast 18 times a week. Bigger audience than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon … combined. Millions listen, with no need for the information it gives. Just to listen. The BBC Shipping Forecast is 100 years old.
