He's already trying the Trump'd stolen election narrative You can tell that even he doesn't believe it though, he just needs to Rihtire. I fear once he does, the right-wing will start winning though.

The European Union is the most hypocritical piece of **** in the whole ******* world.
Thank you and goodbye.

Numerically unlikely, but I hope the Colombia run-off pulls a Chile 2021.

I just graduated from my Master's, and we were strongly cautioned not to talk about the Uyghur genocide because my University has no balls had too many International ethnically Chinese students and it would be 'unfair and uncomfortable' to them to discuss this topic. Not only that, the few times I brought it up in classroom discussions they would speak to me as if I was spreading propaganda.

Australia signs defence alliance with Pacific nation Fiji

The Ocean of Peace pact elevates Fiji to one of Australia's few treaty allies and binds each nation to come to the other's "mutual defence".

China sent waves through the region in 2022 when it signed a secretive security pact with the Solomon Islands, stoking fears it could one day lead to a permanent military presence.

Australia has greatly upped its diplomatic efforts in response, securing deals with the likes of Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and Tuvalu.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signed the pact with his Fijian counterpart Sitiveni Rabuka during a trip to capital Suva.

Fiji joins the United States, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea as Australia's fourth treaty-bound ally.

Thai parliament approves amnesty for hundreds of activists

BANGKOK: Thailand's parliament passed an amnesty bill on Wednesday (July 8) benefiting hundreds of activists found guilty over the last 20 years -- but not those sentenced for corruption or violating

BANGKOK: Thailand's parliament passed an amnesty bill on Wednesday (July 8) benefiting hundreds of activists found guilty over the last 20 years -- but not those sentenced for corruption or violating the royal insult law.

The bill covers members of both the conservative, royalist "Yellow Shirts" and the "Red Shirts" who backed populist former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, rival groups who clashed over two decades.

While most have served their sentences, the amnesty lifts the bar on them holding political office, according to Yutthaporn Issarachai, an analyst from Sukhothai university.

Yet it does not cover anyone convicted of breaching Thailand's extremely strict lese majeste law, which shields the king and his family from criticism. This means it will not benefit many leaders of the 2020-2021 youth-driven demonstrations calling for monarchy reform.

The bill, which must still be approved by the king, will end trials of political activists not related to the excluded offences. However, Yutthaporn said most of them had already served their sentences.

Algeria says its envoy will return to Mali after year-long rift

ALGIERS: Algeria said Friday its envoy would return to Mali in an apparent sign of thawing relations following over a year-long diplomatic rift triggered by Algiers shooting down a Malian drone. Algeria shot down the drone in April 2025, saying it had crossed into its airspace — an allegation Mali denied — sparking ***-for-tat recalls of ambassadors and the closure of airspace.

Kamel Retieb, who had been ambassador to Mali before Algeria withdrew him following the row in April 2025, was to resume his duties, the Algerian foreign ministry announced in a statement. Both countries also issued similarly worded statements on Friday confirming that airspace had been reopened.

Mali added in its statement that its ambassador would return to Algiers and that its airspace would reopen "to all civilian and military aircraft" from or to its northern neighbor. Algeria's defense ministry said its decision was effective from Friday and "includes all flights to and from Mali via various international destinations."

Mali has been locked in a security crisis since 2012 with large parts of the country falling prey to criminal gangs and jihadists. Last year, Mali's rulers announced the termination of a 2015 peace accord with Tuareg rebels which was mediated by Algiers, citing Algerian "hostility."

PNG parliament decision on Bougainville still months off at least

After an historic day in which the result of Bougainville's independence referendum was finally tabled in Papua New Guinea's national parliament, an eventual decision on the matter is at least months away.

The parliament adjourned after debate on Thursday on the tabling of the Bougainville referendum result from 2019 in which 97.7 percent of Bougainvilleans voted for independence

PNG's members of parliament will have the final say on whether to ratify the result, although it is not clear when that vote will be taken.

A delegation from the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) sat patiently in the gallery and watched on as MPs offered different takes on what everyone agreed was a difficult decision for them to have to make.
