Israel's systematic destruction of Gaza's educational system, termed scholasticide, represents a deliberate genocidal strategy to eliminate Palestinian cultural and intellectual reproduction. This calculated annihilation of education is not collateral damage but a brutal settler-colonial tactic to extinguish Palestinian futures and erase their very existence from history.
An official visit by Taliban Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi to New Delhi signals India's pragmatic re-engagement with the Taliban-led government in Afghanistan.

The climate movement has finally shifted focus toward adapting to climate change already underway, as extreme weather events forced COP30 delegates to prioritize building resilience alongside emissions reductions.

This tragedy, unfolding with the world's apathy and the cynical meddling of regional powers, is a stark indictment of an international system that abandons the Global South while hypocritically enforcing a selective 'rules-based order'.
