The New World Disorder

The United Nations Ocean Conference 2025, currently underway in Nice, France, serves as a crucial barometer for the health of our planet's most vital ecosystem. As UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres starkly warned, we cannot allow the deepest oceans to "become the wild west." This summit, co-hosted by France and Costa Rica, is a complex tapestry of scientific urgency, economic ambitions, and geopolitical maneuvering, aiming to accelerate action and mobilize all actors to conserve and sustainably use the ocean, particularly in support of Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG14). Amid the Mediterranean charm, UNOC3 became a battleground of geopolitical rivalries, economic power plays, and conflicting environmental ideologies. This deep-dive dissects the agenda, barriers, outcomes—and Pakistan’s surprisingly assertive role. The Agenda: A Three-Pronged Approach The 2025 conference agenda is structured around three main priorities, culminating in an ambitious Nice Ocean ...

When governments fail, people move. When institutions stall, convoys roll. And in the shadow of Gaza’s genocide, the Arab street is rising again—on wheels.

It's a direct confrontation with the world’s most politically charged checkpoint: Gaza’s gate to survival. Post-Madleen Fallout: The Match That Lit the C...

  From Textbooks to Trenches: Ibrahim Traoré’s Radical Blueprint for Burkina Faso’s Renaissance “Until my people are safe, I remain a soldier.” — Captain Ibrahim Traoré I. The Rise of a Reluctant Revolutionary Burkina Faso, long a ghost in the margins of world affairs, is today the unexpected front line of a war—not just against terrorism, but against intellectual imperialism, economic enslavement, and the systemic looting of African futures. At the epicenter stands Captain Ibrahim Traoré , a 37-year-old geologist-turned-guerrilla, who has shaken the foundations of the post-colonial world order. From dusty textbooks in Bondokuy to blood-stained trenches in the Sahel, Traoré’s journey is not that of a politician—but of a man possessed by purpose. Having studied the layers beneath Burkina Faso’s parched soil, he unearthed not just gold, but betrayal: billions worth of resources stolen under the watchful eyes of "development partners." Less than 5% of gold exports ever ret...
