Top Hill Ep. 218: Ethiopia – The Land That Was Never Colonized!

In this episode of The Horn, Alan is joined by Michael Woldemariam, associate professor at the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy, to discuss the risk of renewed war between Ethiopia and Eritrea amid rising regional tensions and a deepening political crisis in Tigray. They explore how relations between Addis Ababa and Asmara have deteriorated since the 2022 Pretoria Agreement, which ended the Tigray war, but notably excluded Eritrea. They delve into the rupture of Tigray's political leadership and how growing instability in the region has fuelled tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea. They also discuss prospects for de-escalation to prevent another devastating war in the Horn of Africa.For more, check out the latest The Horn episodes with Michael: End of One War, Start of Another in Ethiopia and Eritrea's Long Bitter Feud with Ethiopia's Tigray as well as our Horn of Africa regional page.

Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, Djibouti's long-serving foreign minister, took office as the African Union Commission's chair yesterday, four weeks after defeating Raila Odinga, Kenya's former prime minister and perennial opposition leader, in the race for the job. He succeeds Chad's Moussa Faki, who leaves after serving two four-year terms. Youssouf's victory represents a diplomatic victory for one of the continent's smallest but diplomatically agile states. But it is being seen more as a setback for Kenya's ambitious foreign policy under President William Ruto. Though recently at odds with Odinga due to their domestic political differences, Ruto took the campaign for the commission chair personally, mobilizing the entire Kenyan government in an attempt to secure the post for his former rival. Ruto likely preferred the thought of Odinga occupied with work at the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa, as it would bolster his own re-election prospects. If so, his calculations recall those of former South African President Jacob Zuma, who ensured that Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma - his former wife and domestic political rival - was elected AU Commission chair in 2012. While the bloc's major donors - Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Nigeria and South Africa - have seldom held the top position, there has been a clear pattern of success for candidates backed by respected or influential heads of state. Dlamini-Zuma hailed from the continent's economic powerhouse, for instance, and at the time the outgoing Faki first won the post in 2017, he benefited from the influential support of then-Chadian President Idriss Deby, who had just held the more prominent position of AU Chair. One might have expected the same dynamic to play in Odinga's favor. However, Ruto did not anticipate the level of opposition the prospect of a Kenyan at the head of the commission would generate. Early in the race, Youssouf received the endorsement of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which includes 27 African members, in part because Ruto's portrayal of Kenya as a staunch Western ally alienated states that were more sympathetic to Palestine. There were also doubts about whether Odinga would be fully autonomous in his approach to the role or instead serve as a proxy for Nairobi. For all the headwinds Odinga faced, Youssouf also certainly benefited from his long experience in Djibouti, which despite its small size has an active diplomatic profile as part of its efforts to secure external investment in support of its stability. Djibouti hosts the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, or IGAD, the regional bloc comprising eight member states that oversees trade and diplomacy in the Horn of Africa. Unlike other groups on the continent, IGAD is supported by several non-African partner nations, including France, the U.K. and the U.S., highlighting the kind of multilateral networks of support Djibouti has been cultivating. Djibouti's approach serves as a model for leveraging great power competition for its own advantage, without aligning itself with one side or the other. The degree to which Djibouti has successfully leveraged its strategic location on the Horn of Africa is a further sign of its active diplomacy. It is home to at least eight foreign military bases from diverse and even rival countries. These include Camp Lemonnier, the U.S. military's sole permanent base in Africa, as well as a French military and naval base that is among France's largest overseas contingents. But Djibouti also houses China's first overseas military base, as well as bases for Italy, Japan and South Korea, all of which were established to combat piracy and defend vital economic interests in the Red Sea. This sizable foreign presence has contributed to ensuring Djibouti's stability by incentivizing global powers to keep it insulated from other conflicts in the Horn of Africa. These bases have also resulted in significant economic investments in the country, allowing it to boast a considerably higher GDP...

It's Wednesday, March 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British street preacher faced Muslim death threats A court in the United Kingdom threw out a case against a Christian street preacher this week. Back in 2023, Karandeep Mamman faced death threats from a group of Muslims for sharing the Gospel with them. To his shock, police later charged him with causing religiously aggravated harassment.  Karandeep won his case in court thanks to the help of the Christian Legal Centre. Andrea Williams, a leader with the Christian Legal Centre, said, “The CCTV footage reveals Karandeep being assaulted, threatened and surrounded, for expressing his Christian beliefs, yet it is he that ends up being prosecuted by the police.”  After the ruling, Karandeep said, “I am relieved and pleased that the judge threw the case out and I give all the glory to Jesus.” In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” Ukraine agrees to 30-day ceasefire with Russia Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire in the war with Russia.  U.S. and Ukrainian officials announced the agreement yesterday after talks in Saudi Arabia. The ceasefire is now pending approval by Russia.  Secretary of State Marco Rubio led the U.S. delegation. RUBIO: “We'll take this offer now to the Russians, and we hope that they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to peace. The ball is now in their court.  But again, the President's objective, [Donald Trump], here is number one above everything else. He wants the war to end, and I think today, Ukraine has taken a concrete step in that regard. We hope the Russians will reciprocate.” Rubio added, “It'll be up to [Russia] to say yes or no. If they say no, then we'll unfortunately know what the impediment is to peace here.” Following Ukraine's agreement to the ceasefire, the Trump administration said it would resume military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.   United States increasing influence over Panama Canal The United States is increasing its influence over the Panama Canal. BlackRock, the American investment company, is leading a consortium to buy over 40 ports in 23 countries for $23 billion. A conglomerate based in Hong Kong is selling its control of the ports. The deal includes the ports on either end of the Panama Canal as well as ports in Mexico, the Netherlands, Egypt, Australia, and Pakistan.  President Donald Trump touted the deal as reclaiming the Panama Canal from Chinese influence.  House OKs continuing resolution funding gov't through end of fiscal year On Tuesday, the House voted 217-213 to pass the Republicans' continuing resolution that would avert a partial government shutdown that was set to begin Friday. The bill will now go to the Senate, where its prospects remain uncertain, reports The Daily Signal. The GOP-backed Continuing Resolution passed the House along party lines with the exception of Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky who remained the only Republican in opposition. All Democrats voted against it, except Democratic Congressman Jared Golden of Maine. Now, the Continuing Resolution will face an even greater test in the Senate, where Republicans will have to win over the votes of at least seven Democrats or independents in order to bring the bill to the floor. Navy no longer pays for abortion travel The U.S. Navy announced last week it will no longer cover travel-related expense or provide leave for its service members to get abortions. The new policy ends a pro-abortion policy from the Biden administration. The Coast Guard also updated its policies to no longer cover travel expenses or grant leave for abortions. YouTube TV discriminates against Christian programming The Federal Communications Commission is questioning YouTube TV over allegations that it discriminates against Christian programming.  Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the FCC, sent a letter last week to the CEOs of Alphabet and Google which own YouTube TV. The letter cites a complaint from Great American Media. The network shares family-friendly and Christian content. It's one of the fastest growing networks and is carried on many cable and streaming services, but not on YouTube TV.  Carr noted, “These concerning allegations come at a time when American public discourse has experienced an unprecedented—and unacceptable—surge in censorship.” Franklin Graham preached to 400,000 Ethiopians And finally, Evangelist Franklin Graham preached to over 400,000 people in Ethiopia this past weekend. GRAHAM: “He took your sins and my sins, and He went to the grave. He died. He was buried, but on the third day, God raised His Son to life. Jesus isn't dead. He is alive.  He's in Ethiopia tonight, and He'll come into each and every heart that invites Him.” The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association organized the event with over 1,600 Evangelical churches in the country. They held the event in Meskal Square in Ethiopia's capital of Addis Ababa. Meskal Square means “Cross Square.” The square was the place where infamous Communist rallies once took place. During the event, Graham posted on Facebook. He said, “Sixty-five years ago today, my father Billy Graham preached the Gospel here in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and it is such a privilege for me to be able to preach here this weekend. … Please pray for these new believers and the local Evangelical churches as they follow up with them.” Speaking of Jesus, Acts 4:12 says, “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 12th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

KEFI Gold and Copper PLC (AIM:KEFI, OTC:KFFLF) executive chairman Harry Anagnostaras-Adams talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest resource update for the Hawiah project in Saudi Arabia. He highlighted that the total reported resource at Hawiah has now reached 3 million ounces of gold equivalent, with the potential to double based on new exploration licenses. He noted that this reinforces the project's status as a key development asset in Saudi Arabia. Anagnostaras-Adams also discussed the upcoming resource update for Jibal Qutman, which was previously estimated at 700,000 ounces and is expected to increase, improving resource classification. He explained that KEFI has been actively realigning its business plan, enhancing management in Saudi Arabia, and focusing on growth in exploration licenses. He also commented on Ethiopia's evolving economic landscape, mentioning that the African Union meeting in Addis Ababa has reinforced a positive sentiment. He noted that Ethiopia is attracting investment again after recent economic reforms, including currency liberalisation.

The reach of the James Cancer Hospital extends far beyond Central Ohio. As part of Ohio State's Global One Health Initiative (GOHi), Robert Baiocchi, MD, PhD, is leading the research, vaccination and treatment efforts in Ethiopia for patients with lymphoma. “Lymphoma, a cancer of the white blood cells, is far more common in Sub-Saharan Africa, and afflicts people at a younger age” said Baiocchi, a James medical oncologist who specializes in treating patients with blood cancers. The prevalence of malaria and the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has led to the increased number of lymphoma diagnoses. “Starting in 2015 we opened a lab in Addis Ababa [the capital of Ethiopia] to study these viruses and how they cause cancers,” Baiocchi said, adding the initial research was to determine why the lymphoma rate was so high. “We're zeroing in on a couple of interesting findings; children who get malaria and EBV, that seems to be the perfect storm [for lymphoma].” Differences in the genetic makeup of people in Sub-Sharan Africa could be another factor in the increased lymphoma rates. Baiocchi and his team, and their partners in Ethiopia, are working on vaccines for malaria and EBV. “Studies tell us the virus here [in the United States] is different from the viruses in Ethipia and the vaccines we use here won't work there,” he said. “It's important to understand the genetic makeup of EBV in order to develop a vaccine that will be effective in that region.” The standard of care at the James for lymphoma patients includes a combination of chemotherapy drugs – and has proven to be very effective. “The resources for this aren't available in Ethiopia,” Baiocchi said, adding the James is developing a less-expensive, targeted therapy that shows promise. There are also plans to create a facility in Addis Ababa where lymphoma patients will be treated with cell therapy.

This week, we’re focusing on two major events taking place on the African continent. After this past weekend’s summit in Dar-es-Salaam, where the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and East African Community (EAC) gathered to address the DRC conflict, the ceasefire has offered a glimmer of hope. However, with the conflict still ongoing, can these negotiations lead to the lasting peace the region so desperately needs? Meanwhile, in Addis Ababa, African leaders are gathering at the AU headquarters with a key focus on electing a new head of the continental body. And the big question on everyone’s lips is: will Raila Odinga finally seize the moment & take charge? Our Africa report correspondent. Crystal Orderson joins us to unpack this.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In January 2024, Ethiopia made history as the first country in the world to ban the import of petrol and diesel vehicles, aiming to tackle fuel dependence and pollution. A year on, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a common sight in the capital Addis Ababa, but the country still faces major hurdles. There are issues around the high costs of the electric vehicles, limited charging stations, and a shortage of repair services. Despite these challenges, the government is determined to push forward, with plans to import 500,000 EVs by 2030. Alan Kasujja speaks to BBC correspondent Kalkidan Yibeltal and Hilina Legesse, VP of Ethiopia's first EV manufacturer, Dodai.

Netflix is raising their rates... AGAIN, and people are somehow blaming Meghan and Harry despite Netflix signing SEVERAL multi-million dollar contracts for many years prior to signing their contract with the Sussexes. Let's dissect the ridiculousness. The Ethiopian government will reportedly be demanding that King Charles return "immoral" artifacts that have been kept in Britain since the 1868 Battle of Magdala. Per a report published by The Telegraph on Friday, Jan. 24, officials in Ethiopia's capital of Addis Ababa will be pushing for the return of items from the Royal Collection as well as treasures kept elsewhere in the United Kingdom, such as the British Museum. The items kept by the King are sacred to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, per the outlet, which also notes that the government in the United Kingdom will be asked to support Ethiopia's push for the items' return next year. The Ethiopian Heritage Authority will lead the move for the return of the items alongside the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, according to The Telegraph. EXCLUSIVE: The memoir of a choreography teacher who secretly taught Princess Diana to dance is to be turned into a 90-minute feature documentary. Canadian producer-distributor Sphere Media has secured rights to Anne Allan's ‘Dancing with Diana: A Memoir‘ and will co-produce it with Alan Clements' Glasgow-based Two Rivers Media. Sphere Abacus, the sales arm of Sphere, will shop the doc internationally. It's early days for the project so no network or streamer is attached yet. Scottish-Canadian dancer and London City Ballet mistress Allan was the late Princess Diana's dance teacher, and co-choreographed her ‘Uptown Girl' routine at London's Royal Opera House, which she surprised Prince Charles with in 1985.

Reuters says the two talked about improving relations and addressing mutual priorities. Turkey recently mediated talks to resolve disputes between the two neighbors, including Ethiopia's desire for access to the Red Sea.

At least five different wildfires are still raging around Los Angeles, and the flames are visible from space, squeezing the city in a blazing pincer. We will look at the financial costs to fight such fires and insurance costs for people who live in areas like Southern California where fires happen regularly.A new mega-port on Peru's coastline—part of China's Belt and Road Initiative—will increase the frequency of trips to Asia this month. And Ethiopia is on the brink of launching a new stock exchange after a fifty-year gap. This stock exchange is housed on a freshly minted trading floor within a towering high-rise in Addis Ababa's financial hub.

Episode 195: The Colonial Roots of Climate Injustice in Africa: A United Front for Strategic Repositioning of the Global South   In this lecture, Dr. Fadhel Kaboub identifies the political and economic dynamics between the Global North and South since the wave of African independence in mid-20th century, by which the former has continued its colonial methods of resource extraction, steering the economies of the latter towards dependence on European and American technology and financing. By drawing on examples of large-scale agricultural and energy projects in Ethiopia, Namibia, and Uganda, Dr. Kaboub outlines the process by which African, Latin American, and Middle Eastern resources are captured by foreign energy companies. As Dr. Kaboub explains, poor countries are prevented from developing a domestic manufacturing base, rendering them dependent on companies from the industrialized economies of the Global North, which both produce the technology necessary for resource-harvesting and conduct post-extraction processing or refinement. As such, economies of the Global South are intentionally prevented from industrializing and are instead encouraged to invest heavily in primary resources for subsequent extraction by actors from the Global North. In the final part of his presentation, Dr. Kaboub dedicates his attention to the “carbon credit” scheme, by which large Western energy companies purchase the right to pollute, which they offset by preventing pollution (read: industrialization) in the Global South, in what amounts to painting an environmentally-friendly veneer over the same colonial process. Fadhel Kaboub is Associate Professor of Economics at Denison University (on leave), and the president of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity. He is also a member of the Independent Expert Group on Just Transition and Development and serves as senior advisor with Power Shift Africa. He has recently served as Under-Secretary-General for Financing for Development at the Organisation of Southern Cooperation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Dr. Kaboub is an expert on designing public policies to enhance monetary and economic sovereignty in the Global South, build resilience, and promote equitable and sustainable prosperity. His recent work focuses on Just Transition, Climate Finance, and transforming the global trade, finance, and investment architecture. His most recent co-authored publication is Just Transition: A Climate, Energy, and Development Vision for Africa (May 2023, published by the Independent Expert Group on Just Transition and Development). He has held a number of research affiliations with the Levy Economics Institute (NY), the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University (MA), the Economic Research Forum (Cairo), Power Shift Africa (Nairobi), and the Center for Strategic Studies on the Maghreb (Tunis). He is currently based in Nairobi, Kenya and is working on climate finance and development policies in Africa.

As the price of fuel soared in Ethiopia earlier this year, Awgachew Seleshi decided to buy an electric car. That aligned with the government's new efforts to phase out gas-powered vehicles. But months later, he's questioning whether it was the right decision. He faces a range of issues, from the erratic supply of electricity in Addis Ababa, the capital, to the scarcity of spare parts. The decision eased pressure on authorities who spend scarce foreign currency to subsidize the cost of fuel, but it also reflected growing enthusiasm for electric vehicles as the world demands more green technologies to reduce climate-changing emissions. In early November, Ethiopia's government raised the price of fuel by up to 8% as part of a plan to gradually end all fuel subsidies in Africa's second-most populous country. Authorities have claimed some success in enforcing the ban on non-electric vehicles entering Ethiopia, and more than 100,000 electric cars are now being imported into the country each month. The official target is to increase the monthly import figure to 500,000 by 2030. By that time, a big new dam that Ethiopia has built on the Nile River is expected to be producing power at full capacity. For now, many in Addis Ababa, a city of more than 5 million people, are doubtful the country can achieve its ambitious goals for electric vehicles without further needed infrastructure and services. The few garage owners who can fix broken electric cars say they are overwhelmed, while customers say they are being overcharged amid an apparent lack of competition. “There are two or three garages that can fix new energy vehicles in Ethiopia,” said Yonas Tadelle, a mechanic in Addis Ababa. “As mechanics, we also lack the tools, the spare parts, and the know-how to fix such cars.” Samson Berhane, an economist based in Addis Ababa, said the sudden flood of electric vehicles into the local market despite poor infrastructure is making it difficult for customers to adapt comfortably. Some EVs sell for about $20,000. But he said he believes that Ethiopia is more than able to provide electricity to the expected 500,000 EVs there within the next decade while fulfilling its industrial ambitions.

Get ready to learn a lot about international education as we interview three long-term veterans while sharing a few insights ourselves. David Ross is a retired 58-year-old international educator. He began teaching elementary school in Los Angeles, then moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with his family to teach at ISKL for six years.  He then took a one-year sabbatical with his family to bike across Europe and ended up in Saigon, Vietnam. He taught grade four for nine years at SSIS and coached middle and high school men's volleyball. He enjoys SCUBA diving, free diving, playing in a band, pickleball, staying fit, and cooking. He has also been a proactive investor and proponent of financial literacy.Rob Howe is a 56-year-old business professional and international educator. He began his career in the technology industry. After a 1.5-year sabbatical from work, he met his wife, an international teacher, and decided to become one. His first opportunity was in Jakarta, Indonesia, for two years at NJIS. He then returned to the USA, started a new career in sustainability consulting, and adopted two children from India. In 2014, he returned to overseas teaching. Posts included Beirut, Lebanon, Harare, Zimbabwe, and Saigon, Vietnam at SSIS. He participated in the Sustainability Council at each school and is an avid hiker, biker, gardener, and explorer. Amy Hunt is currently teaching Psychology and Science of Mind at Nueva School in the San Francisco Bay Area. After earning an MAT and spending a year in outdoor education in 1987, Amy left the US at age 25 to teach IB English in Addis Ababa, where she met her husband, Lee Fertig. They moved together to Rio, where Amy also began teaching IB Theory of Knowledge. They moved to the U.S. for awhile and then went back overseas, for more beautiful experiences in Barcelona, São Paulo, and Brussels before returning to the US in 2020. A curious risk-taker and boundary-stretcher, Amy has taught many subjects and recently became a certified yoga therapist. She reads a lot, loves murder shows and pickleball, takes hikes and cold plunges, and tries to coax her three 20-something children to fly the nest. Our Guiding Question was, “What are some lessons learned from your careers as international educators?”Here are a few topics covered in this episode:  Personal and Professional: Big picture highlights and lowlightsStrategies to make the most of one's time overseas both personally and professionallyRaising Children Overseas: Tips to support them in and outside of schoolLiving in and outside the school bubbleDifferent life and career pathwaysThe show was recorded on October 16, 2024.Categories: Parenting | School Life | Transitions | Travel | Finances Remember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information or to subscribe to our newsletter!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

[Trigger Warning: Mentions of sexual harassment, rape and child abuse] Lella Miskir is tired of the constant harassment she and other women in Ethiopia experience on the daily. In response, Lella now walks through the streets of Addis Ababa, armed – with a small, red whistle. Her online campaign, #MyWhistleMyVoice, encourages women to blow their whistle every time a man catcalls them, acts inappropriately towards them or assaults them. It's giving women confidence and hope, but blowing the whistle on men's bad behaviour has been met with backlash and even threats to Lella's life.

Haile Selassie was Emperor of Ethiopia. His dynasty ruled for centuries, supposedly descending from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. In 1974 he was overthrown in a coup by a Marxist-Leninist military junta called the Derg. Over the following months, the insurrectionists executed 60 members of Haile Selassie's government, before murdering the former Emperor in his bed in 1975. Lij Mulugeta Asseratte Kassa is a relative of Haile Selassie. He spent time with the Emperor in the days leading up to the coup and was imprisoned for nine years by the Derg.

In this episode Dr. Riley Kirk interviews researcher Dr. Whitney Ogle about using cannabis for exercise, Dr. Ogle is passionate about this subject because she has found the benefits of medicating before runs, hikes and other forms of exercise and believes it can be a tool to a healthier lifestyle. Dr. Kirk and Dr. Ogle talk about what reserach that is currently happening, how both of them personally integrate cannabis and exercise, navigating difficult conversations, the role of CBD and more. Dr. Ogle's Bio: My personal mission is to make the science of human movement meaningful, understandable, and applicable to daily life. I am guided by my values in finding connections among concepts from diverse sources, striking a balance between cultivating new ideas and improving on current designs, and continual growth by learning with and from others. Originally from Chicagoland, I have moved all over the United States for school and work. I earned my Bachelors degree in Exercise Science from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. While in my Doctorate in Physical Therapy program at Regis University in Denver, Colorado, I had the opportunity to do clinical rotations in Utah, Arizona, Washington, Western Colorado, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. After I completed my DPT degree, I worked as an outpatient orthopedic physical therapist near Seattle and helped with functional capacity evaluations of injured workers north of Seattle. I decided to go back to school to get more involved in research at Indiana University where I earned a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology and a PhD in Human Performance with a focus on Motor Control and Motor Learning with a minor in Psychological Brain Sciences. While I was working towards these degrees, I worked as a home health physical therapist for babies 6 months to 3 years old in rural Southern Indiana and occasionally in skilled nursing facilities for older adults who were medically stable enough to be out of the hospital but not safe enough to be at home. I was drawn to Cal Poly Humboldt because of its strong focus in social justice, giving students hands on experience with research, and because it is physically beautiful! I enjoy rock climbing, slacklining, swimming, hiking, and going on walks with my cats.

Good evening. The show begins with a focus on Wall Street's anticipation of the super core Price Index, which excludes energy, food, and housing. This is followed by a whirlwind tour of global hotspots and financial centers. We start in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, then move on to the European capitals of Berlin, Paris, and Brussels, before heading to Moscow, Russia. The focus then shifts to central banks, including the Swedish Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve, as they grapple with economic challenges. Next, we turn our attention to the Middle East, with updates from Gaza, Rafah, and Jerusalem. From there, we head to the Asia-Pacific region, stopping in Tokyo, Canberra, and London.
