The Myanmar Junta has faced the sternest challenge to its authority since grabbing power in a 2021 coup by an alliance of three Myanmar ethnic minority groups, called the Brotherhood alliance, which has waged a coordinated offensive since the 27th of October, thereby rattling the military.

Now, In a major breakthrough, Myanmar's ruling Junta and the Brotherhood alliance agreed to an immediate ceasefire on the 12th of January, a result of Beijing-mediated peace talks.

The small south American nation of Ecuador was once perceived as a haven of peace sandwiched between cocaine-producing Colombia and Peru. Renowned as world's top exporter of bananas, it is home to the biodiverse Galapagos islands. However, in the past five years, things have taken a turn for the worse. Large ports, lax security and endemic corruption have lured foreign drug cartels to its shore.

At least 19 people were killed and nearly 2,000 inmates escaped in Sierra Leone when the country's main military barracks and prisons were attacked on the 19th of November. The Sierra Leone government designated the Sunday's assault as a failed coup attempt which aimed to "subvert and overthrow" the government. Several countries in the West and Central Africa are under military rule after a series of recent coups, including Sierra Leone's neighbour Guinea as well as Mali, Niger and Chad. In Sierra Leone itself, the political situation has been tense since June this year after President Julius Maada Bio's re-election in a disputed vote. Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

The United States, on the 17th of January, put Iran-backed Houthi rebels back on a list of terrorist entities. The re-designation of Houthis, as a specially designated global terrorist group, will be effective in a month's time, from 16th of February. It is the latest attempt by Washington to stem attacks against international shipping in the Red sea. Defiant Houthis though, after the announcement, vowed to continue attacks they say are in support of the Palestinians in Gaza, where Israel is engaged in a fierce battle with Hamas. The Houthis' campaign in the Red sea has disrupted global commerce, stoked fears of inflation and given rise to concerns that the fallout from the Israel-Hamas war could end up destabilizing the Middle East. Interestingly, United States added that if the Houthis ceased their attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, Washington will be quick to re-evaluate this re-designation. Describing the U.S. strikes on Houthi targets as defensive, Washington categorically reiterated that they are not seeking war with the Houthis. The question is: Can America, when push comes to shove, defeat the Houthis? Mohammed Saleh brings you the details.

In less than 24 hours a conflict that had dragged on for over 35 long years, for which two wars had been fought ended with just one night of heavy fire. Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian enclave inside Azerbaijani territory was effectively disarmed and forced to surrender in a manner that no one expected. Tens of thousands of people have died fighting for it. Peace plan after peace plan, in the last three decades had ended in failure. But now with the ethnic Armenian population leaving altogether, it is being widely believed that the conflict for Nagorno-Karabakh has ended for good. But old feuds have a way of resurfacing long after they are believed to be dead. But the larger question in the Caucasus is this: will peace now have a chance between Armenia and Azerbaijan? Or will the old ethno-religious faultlines still continue to dictate relations between the two neighbours? Mohammed Saleh explores.

A new nuclear arms race is underway. Pakistan which at this moment is believed to have about 170 nuclear weapons is increasing its nuclear arsenal to 200 nuclear bombs by 2025. According to the 'Federation of American Scientists Nuclear Information Report', Pakistan is expanding its uranium enrichment infrastructure. But the question is why? And do you know who else is expanding their nuclear arsenal? Well, China too is expanding its nuclear arsenal at a furious pace. Beijing it appears wants to match the American nuclear arsenal in the days to come. But what most people find baffling at this moment is why Pakistan given its economic condition is increasing the number of nuclear bombs in its possession?

Ecuadorian police defused an explosives-laden drone on the roof of a prison on the 12th of September. Described by the Ecuadorian Interior minister as an "explosive device", the drone perched on the roof of La Roca maximum security jail in Guayaquil.

Russia struck the Ukrainian capital Kyiv with its most powerful barrage of missiles and drones since spring. Every gain on the battle field at this moment is being made at a terrible cost. The Ukrainian counteroffensive which has been sluggish since its inception has made very incremental gains.

On the face of it, Western Africa has been struck with a coup epidemic.

But make no mistake about this. What is being witnessed in these African nations is not just a coup epidemic.

Ecuadorian capital Quito was rocked by car bombings and grenade attacks on the intervening night of 30th and 31st of August. Hours later, inmates in six prisons took 50 prison guards and 7 police officers' hostage. The hostage situation was resolved the next day when guards and police officers were released and taken into safety. Six people, including a Colombian national, have been apprehended. Apparently, a show of force by organized criminal gangs, the wave of attacks claimed no victims. The prison uprising is believed to be a riposte to a police sweep of jails a day before to confiscate weapons. What explains Ecuador's recent descent into violence and more importantly, will it go the Colombia and Mexico way insofar the drug trade is concerned? Mohammed Saleh brings you this report.

Nagorno-Karabakh is an Armenian enclave within Azerbaijani territory. Home to about 120,000 ethnic Armenians, the disputed region has been blockaded since December last year. Consequently, supplies of basic foodstuff, essential medicines and fuel from the Armenian capital, Yerevan, has been cut off, forcing the Nagorno-Karabakh population facing hunger and a possible human catastrophe. Residents of Nagorno-Karabakh allege a slow-motion genocide, with hunger being used as a classic weapon. Baku denies any blockade though, claiming it was forced to act after environmental violations. Mohammed Saleh brings you this report.

At least 55 people were killed in deadly clashes between rival militias in the Libyan capital, Tripoli. Close to 150 others were also injured in these clashes that erupted on the night of 14th August and raged through the next day as well. The fierce gun battle forced the closure of the city's main airport while also leaving residents trapped in their homes, unable to escape the violence. The escalation in violence comes on the heels of months of relative peace after nearly a decade of civil war in Libya, where two rival sets of authorities are locked in a political impasse.
