The Carribean nation of Haiti was rocked by gun battles across the capital, Port-au-Prince, on the 29th of February. At least four police officers were slain as a prominent gang leader announced a coordinated attack by multiple armed groups in a bid to oust the prime minister, Ariel Henry. The prime minister is in Kenya finalizing details for the deployment of a foreign armed force to Haiti to combat the gangs. United Nations estimates that since the assassination of former President Jovenel Moise in July 2021, emboldened gangs have seized control of 80% of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince. A staggering 200 gangs operate with impunity in the Port-Au-Prince Metropolitan area. Given the rapidly deteriorating security situation, Is Haiti in danger of falling into the hands of criminal gangs? Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

The Central African nation of Chad descended into chaos and political unrest this past week. The week began on a positive note when the national poll body announced on Tuesday that the presidential election, bringing an end to the three-year Junta rule, will be held on the 6th of May. The very next day, the government blamed an overnight attack on Chad's internal security office on the opposition Socialist Party without Borders or PSF, which is headed by Yaya Dillo. Claiming that several people had been killed, Chad security forces laid siege to the headquarters of the opposition PSF. Dillo, a fierce opponent of Chad's transitional president and his cousin, Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, was killed in the army's assault on the opposition party's headquarters. How did this family feud go horribly wrong and what it means for the impoverished nation? Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

Yemen's Houthis announced, on the 22nd of February, that they are banning vessels linked to Israel, the United States and United Kingdom in the Red sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. To this effect, formal notices of the ban were sent by the Houthi's Humanitarian Operations coordination centre to shipping insurers and firms operating in the region. In addition to this, they also pledged to use 'Submarine drones' against US ships, continuing and further escalating their attacks amid the Israel-Hamas war. On the 19th of February, an American MQ-9 reaper drone crashed off the coast of Yemen after being struck by a surface-to-air missile fired by the Houthis. It was the second instance of a MQ-9 Reaper being shot down by the Houthis since the Israel-Hamas war erupted on the 7th of October last year. How potent is the threat posed by the Houthis and who is supplying Houthis with such sophisticated weaponry?

Over 45 attacks by Houthis on vessels since last Nov

At least 26 combatants and an unconfirmed number of bystanders were killed in a tribal clash in Papua New Guinea's highlands on the 18th of February. Some police and cabinet officials put the death toll between 49 and 64, taking into account the fact that bodies were still being recovered. The military had deployed about 100 troops to the area but they remain woefully outnumbered, outgunned and ineffective. The incident, in the early hours of Sunday, put an escalating internal security problem under the lens in the south pacific island nation. Recently, the strategically vital island nation has garnered close military attention from the rival powers, the United States and China.

On the 20th of February, the United Nations Security Council convened for an emergency meeting. The agenda of the meeting was the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where fighting between the government forces and the M23 rebels has intensified. At the meeting, the United States issued a warning to both, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, that they "must walk back from the brink of war". Kinshasa, the United Nations and the western nations have said that Kigali is supporting the rebels in a bid to control the vast mineral resources in the region, a charge refuted by Kigali. And on the 28th of February, the United Nations began the withdrawal of MONUSCO peacekeeping forces from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

At a time when the Russian war machine appears to be steadily gaining an upper hand on the battlefield, there was panic in Washington. At this moment, there are just 4 nations in the world - The United States, Russia, China & India have the capacity to shoot down satellites from space. Everything in the modern world, from communications such as phones, internet, radio and television, to navigation via GPS, to weather forecasting, to banking services, to agriculture, everything depends on satellites for its normal functioning. What is now being suspected is that Russia is now developing nuclear anti-satellite weapons. For which the western world led by the United States, at this moment has no counter to! So how does a nuclear anti-satellite weapon work? And what advantage do nuclear anti-satellite weapons have over their conventional counterparts? Mohammed Saleh gets you the details.

Four Armenian soldiers were killed and another wounded by Azerbaijani fire along the two countries' heavily militarized border on the 13th of February. Baku claimed that the attack on the Armenian position was in retaliation to an Armenian provocation a day earlier in which one Azerbaijani soldier was wounded. Tuesday's flare-up in violence was the first since the Caucasus' arch-foes began negotiating a deal last year to end more than three decades of intermittent war. A couple of days after the border skirmish, Armenian Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, warned that Azerbaijan is planning a full-scale war against Armenia. Both nations have professed an interest in signing a peace treaty but continue to disagree over issues including precise demarcation of their border and control over several small territorial enclaves. Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

One person was killed and 22 others, including children, were wounded in a mass shooting at the Kansas city chiefs' victory parade in Kansas city, Missouri on the St. Valentine's day. Two men have been charged with second-degree murder over the shooting. But ruling out any nexus to terrorism or homegrown violent extremism, the police said the shooting was the result of a personal altercation that escalated. America, once again, was left stunned, paranoid and grieving. This is the 49th incident of mass shooting in America this year alone. With more guns than inhabitants, the United States has the highest rate of gun deaths of any developed country. Surveys have established that 57% of Americans are in favor of stricter gun laws. But the Republicans, the staunch defenders of America's constitutional right to bear arms, have repeatedly, for years, opposed any effort to tighten gun control measures.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly known as Zaire, is Africa's second largest country. The central African nation, rich in valuable mineral resources, has been plagued by myriad armed groups in its east, fighting for control. Pre-eminent among these is M23, a largely Tutsi rebel group linked with the neighboring Rwanda, though Kigali denies the charge.

Once considered a bastion of peace in Latin America, Ecuador has been plunged into crisis in the last five years after the unchecked, mushrooming influence of transnational Narco-gangs, who use its ports to ship cocaine to the United States and Europe. The newly elected President, Daniel Noboa, has declared war on these narco-gangs. In a major, morale-boosting success, on the 6th of February, police in Ecuador and Spain carried out a joint operation which led to the seizure of almost 2.4 tonnes of cocaine and the arrest of 30 people. More importantly, the operation led to the dismantling of a drug trafficking organization being led by an Albanian. Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

On a day when Turkiye was commemorating the anniversary of an earthquake in its south that killed more than 53,000 people last year, At least one person was killed and five others wounded in a terror attack in front of Istanbul's central courthouse. The two assailants, a man and a woman, were killed in the gun battle with the security officials.

In less than 30 minutes, the United States struck 85 targets spread across 7 cities in Iraq and Syria. These American airstrikes were carried out as a reprisal against a drone attack on an American base in Jordan, in which 3 American soldiers were killed and 40 others were injured. And according to the United States, this is just the beginning of a multi-tiered response. Even though both the Americans and the Iranians have repeatedly insisted that neither side wants a full-blown conflict. What is abundantly clear is that the Israel-Gaza war that began on the 7th of October has spread way beyond the frontiers of Gaza. By backing the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip to the hilt, the United States is getting more and more involved in this new West Asia conflict. And even if the political leaders at this moment are not willing to say it out loud, what is playing out is a subtle but steady proxy war between the United States and Iran. Our next report will get you the details

The Myanmar Junta is facing the toughest challenge to its authority since seizing power in a February 2021 coup. A coalition of three armed ethnic minority groups called the Brotherhood Alliance, have made significant gains in the north, thereby galvanizing other opponents of the Junta. Increasingly losing ground, the military has stepped up its air assaults, with civilians frequently at the receiving end. Since the 2021 coup, more than 4,400 people have been killed in the military's crackdown on dissent. United Nations estimates about 2.3 million have been displaced by the violence so far. On the eve of the coup's third anniversary, Myanmar's military rulers extended a state of emergency, in place since the 2021 coup, by another six months, once again delaying the promised elections. While announcing the extension of the state of emergency, Myanmar army chief, Min Aung Hlaing, pledged to crush all opposition to the military rule.

As Pakistan prepares for its general elections on the 8th of February, it was served a cruel reminder late on the 29th of January that all is not well in its largest province, Balochistan. The restive province was jolted when heavily armed terrorists launched three coordinated attacks, including one on a high-security prison. The attacks left four law enforcement personnel and two civilians dead. A 12-hour gun battle was triggered in which nine of the terrorists were also killed. The banned separatist group Baloch Liberation Army claimed responsibility for the attacks. How potent is the danger posed by the Baloch Liberation Army and why has Pakistan failed, so far, to rein in the separatists? Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

Why has Pakistan failed to rein in insurgency in Balochistan?

The United States and several other countries have suspended aid to UNRWA, the main humanitarian agency in Gaza, since the 26th of January. The unprecedented funding crisis was precipitated by Israel's claim that 13 of UNRWA's 13,000 staff in Gaza were involved in the October 7th Hamas attacks on Israel which killed about 1200 people. Tel Aviv claims that as many as 190 UNRWA staff were militants. UNRWA, 150 of whose staff have been killed since October last year, shelters about a million Palestinians in its buildings, besides running several other essential services. If funding is not restored soon, the UN agency will have to end operations by the end of this month. As a course corrective measure, it promptly fired staff after being alerted to Israel's allegations. The UNRWA chief, Philippe Lazzarini, has dubbed the suspension "an additional collective punishment" for Palestinians. Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

An overwhelming majority of the Palestinians in the Gaza strip are descendants of refugees. And these descendants of refugees have been turned into refugees all over again. The Israel-Gaza war that has dragged on for more than 119 days now has sparked a humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza strip. At this moment tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza strip, and an overwhelming 70% of those are said to young women and children. But the plight of those who are caught in this Israeli offensive is beyond what words can describe. In the biting cold of the winter, a huge number of the displaced Palestinians who have now been rendered homeless are living in tents. The humanitarian aid that is being allowed into the Gaza strip has been described as a drop in the ocean. And starvation, chronic hunger and disease has now become the reality of Gaza.
