At dawn in Switzerland, I read the alert: Charlie Kirk, 31, shot dead at a Utah Valley University event. This isn’t a verdict on his ideas; it’s a warning. A murder on a debate stage signals that words are losing to force. He built a career on argument; answering it with a bullet declares debate illegitimate. When speech is branded “violence,” real violence follows. Accept that trade and the liberal promise collapses into nihilism—and so, eventually, does civic peace.

The day was cold and grey. The clouds had arrived rapidly in droves across the valley. Winter is here; I sighed between my heavy breaths...

The UN’s legitimacy, long upheld by the shadow of American dominance, now trembles as global conflicts multiply and US influence wanes. Much like the League of Nations before it, the UN risks irrelevance—not from lack of ideals, but from lack of enforcement power. As multipolarity returns, states once restrained grow bolder. The global order teeters, and the dream of collective peace dims. When everyone is a king, no one is.

Ethiopia’s journey toward democracy remains marred by its ethnic divides and authoritarian legacy. Though Mengistu’s fall in 1991 promised reform, deep-rooted mistrust and political domination continued. The Tigray War reflects this fragile state, as federal power clashes with regional defiance. Despite reforms, democracy in Ethiopia remains unconsolidated, undermined by violence, ethnic tension, and elite control.

New Labour’s 1997 rise marked a shift from Old Labour’s socialism and Thatcherite conservatism. Under Blair, it embraced the "Third Way"—a blend of market economics with social justice aims. Guided by managerial elites, New Labour expanded its voter base, redefined class politics, and emphasized inclusivity over redistribution. This centrist evolution transformed Labour into a modern, electable force—distinct from its ideological roots and political rivals.

Honor-based violence (HBV) in the UK reveals a serious human rights issue, especially for women within certain minority communities. Despite legal frameworks, cultural defenses often shield perpetrators. Underreporting, community secrecy, and leniency in enforcement worsen the crisis. The UK’s promotion of multiculturalism, while well-intended, has failed to confront harmful traditional practices, highlighting the state's failure to protect vulnerable citizens equally.

Venezuela, once a thriving petrostate, now faces one of the worst man-made crises. Millions have fled, and many blame Maduro. But the roots lie deeper—in decades of state mismanagement. Heavy oil dependence and Chavez’s expansion of presidential power crippled institutions. Chavez’s reforms, while popular, eroded checks and balances, setting the stage for authoritarianism and economic collapse long before oil prices fell.
