De nouvelles images satellitaires intégrées à Google Maps révèlent l’ampleur des destructions dans la bande de Gaza et la gravité persistante de la crise humanitaire, près d’un an après l’entrée en vigueur du cessez-le-feu d’octobre 2025, rapporte le quotidien britannique The Guardian. or,
La lutte des peuples européens pour la paix et la restauration de la démocratie, progressivement démantelée par les oligarchies américaines et leurs vassaux politiques européens, est arrivée à Rome.
Le premier établissement scolaire occupé fut le lycée scientifique Cavour, à deux pas du Colisée. Après une assemblée spéciale, les élèves prirent possession de l’école et suspendirent tous les cours. Leur banderole arborait une phrase qui fut perçue comme hautement subversive dans les couloirs obscurs du Palazzo Ghigi : «De l’argent pour l’école, pas pour la guerre.»
The Taliban and “other armed groups” in Afghanistan unlawfully recruit and use children in combat and support roles, with some children used to plant explosives, carry weapons, conduct surveillance and guard bases, the US State Department says in its 2026 Trafficking in Persons Report.

This past week, US officials were busy talking about disarming Hezbollah, pressing the visiting Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam to disrupt Hezbollah’s finances and move toward disarming the group. Hezbollah, meanwhile, focused on housing.
On September 27, which marked the second anniversary of Hassan Nasrallah’s assassination, Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem defended the group’s arsenal at length but dwelled on more mundane material concerns, especially reconstruction and housing for the displaced. He announced a housing project for devastated villages. Qassem’s focus may seem badly mismatched to the scale of Hezbollah’s predicament as Israeli military and diplomatic pressure mounts, much as Qassem himself seemed mismatched to succeeding Nasrallah.
But the same qualities that made Qassem seem ill-suited to replace Nasrallah—his bureaucratic instinct, low profile, and lack of martial charisma—may have made him better suited to the Hezbollah that survived 2024: it needed to look less threatening, preserve its Shia base and arsenal, and buy time to regenerate.
Qassem was never supposed to succeed Nasrallah. The soft-spoken former chemistry teacher became al-Musawi’s deputy in 1991. When Israel killed al-Musawi the following year, the younger Nasrallah succeeded him. Qassem remained deputy for three decades while Hashem Safieddine was groomed for succession.
Thousands of Palestinian workers were detained and tortured in 2023, yet questions about their fate remain unanswered, writes Hossam el-Hamalawy.
Three years after Israel began its genocide in Gaza, the fate of Palestinian workers detained after 7 October remains unclear, though their odyssey of humiliation, torture, and, on occasion, murder is beyond doubt and is mostly documented by their Israeli tormentors on social media and aired live by the far-right Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir.
In another sign of how swiftly relations have improved, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will soon visit Syria, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on 14 September after a two-day visit.
Russian strikes are weakening the economy sustaining Ukraine’s war effort. Closing the growing funding gap will require more European support and politically contentious reforms in Kyiv.
In Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine’s industrial heartland, the furnaces have fallen silent. The mining enterprises of international steelmaker ArcelorMittal stand idle, and other large businesses operate at a fraction of their prewar capacity. Falling tax receipts are forcing the city to cut spending. Next year, the priority will be keeping basic services functioning.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Syria’s post-Assad government have a contentious relationship formed in the bloody crucible of the Syrian civil war, when Hezbollah intervened against the Syrian opposition in 2013 in defence of the ailing regime of Bashar Al-Assad.
However, a recent Reuters report suggests that the two sides have held secret meetings in Turkey designed to defuse tensions between them, which may suggest a relative détente.
Khan Younis, Gaza Strip – A year after a US-brokered ceasefire halted Israel’s full-scale war on Gaza, the Palestinian technocrats appointed to govern the territory remain in Cairo, waiting for Israel to allow them to enter.
The containment noose around Russia’s western and southern flanks might eventually tighten.
Zelensky launched the Carpathian Eight (C8, also the Carpathian Integration Initiative) during a summit in late September. This platform was supposed to include Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Serbia, Romania, and Hungary, but the latter’s leader later denied that it joined. Anyhow, their initiative will optimize the deployment of NATO forces eastward in the spirit of the “military Schengen” as well as military logistics between the western and southern flanks of the new “cordon sanitaire” around Russia.
