2024

Ukraine-Russia

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. Has triggered the biggest and fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since WW II.

Israel-Hamas

In its 14th month, the death toll in Gaza Strip has surpassed 44,000. The war began when Hamas stormed into southern Israel on Oct 7, 2023.

Middle East Mess

Israel-Hamas war spilt into neighbouring regions with countries like Iran, Egypt, Turkey and proxies Hezbollah and Houthis choosing their sides, threatening a regional war.

Bangladesh Uprising

Protest by students against a 30% quota in government jobs for family members of war veterans turned violent marking an end to Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year rule.

Sudan Strife

The war broke out in April 2023 when tensions between Sudanese military and its rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces escalated. Over 14 million people displaced.

Myanmar Civil War

Pro-democracy guerrillas and ethnic minority armed forces seeking autonomy and the Myanmar army have been battling since 2021

Syria Surprises

Fall of Bashar al-Assad is the year’s biggest surprise. In just 10 days, insurgents marched from Idlib on Nov 28 into Damascus bringing an end to Assad family's 50-yr rule.
