Something to suggest that nuclear weapon deterrence works in South Asia as it did in the West during Cold War times. Will discourage nuclear disarmament

Nowadays it is not uncommon for countries to play both sides of a conflict elsewhere as part of geopolitical calculations. Such double-dealing usually backfires, sooner or later. South Sudan is one of these nations, and unfortunately it means that its people pay the price

Good. A terror attack anywhere by anybody should be treated as #war whether it was 9/11, or Hamas assault on Israelis, or the Kashmir terrorists. But current ‘rules’ of war insufficient to fight such wars - new stronger rules for terror wars needed too incl humanitarian aspects

The Pretoria COHA was deeply flawed and rammed down the throat by the African Union etc. Not surprised it unravelled as I and some others predicted at the time. Although sorry to be proved right, returning to that shabby deal is not going to bring peace to #Ethiopia #Tigray

Most countries have already recognised #Palestine. Easy to declare but what difference is that making? Not even a fig leaf to cover the increasing suffering of desperate people in Gaza, West Bank & Palestinian refugees. Read more platitudes here: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Distinctly useless reporting, dear WION, as you say nothing substantive about why the ‘new study’ claims what it does - and irrelevant background graphic with edgy music add nothing. If covering an issue at least provide some real content that informs the audience #COVID19
