Global Unrest and Political Tensions
Protests in Tanzania have been violently suppressed following a presidential election with no opposition, resulting in significant loss of life.
The country has been gripped by uncertainty and violence since the vote held on October 29, after which Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan ran unopposed.
- Amnesty International reported 100 deaths.
- The opposition claimed around 700 deaths.
Meanwhile, other global hotspots include:
- Turkey, facing the risk of losing an entire generation of its youth.
- Ukraine, where war crimes have been committed, including murders in a street in Bucha.
- Gaza and Lebanon, where ceasefires have been fragile and favor Israel.
- Europe, where the far right has sworn allegiance to Trump's politics after Charlie Kirk's murder.
Additionally, sanctions against Russia have sparked a rift between the US and Europe over China, and France is facing political instability, which puts the Franco-German alliance to the test.
French lawmakers have also voted against a wealth tax on the super-rich, and the French justice minister's visit to Nicolas Sarkozy in jail has sparked a political firestorm.
