An extensive new report says that during the war in Tigray, there were serious breaches of international law. The UN has made a similar finding as Ethiopia's transitional justice process wobbles on. DWs Eddy Micah talks to Dr Azeem Ibrahim, the head of the US-based New Lines Institute think tank, DWs Yohannes Egiziabher Tarake and conflict photojournalist Ximena Borrazás.
When China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, most people expected the country to be on the path to embracing western values of freedom and democracy. But the opposite occurred – more and more countries, institutions, and individuals now find themselves forced to comply with CCP authoritarianism or face serious consequences. Army War College's Dr. Azeem Ibrahim joined Rep. Crenshaw to examine how the Chinese Communist Party's strategies of economic colonization and transnational repression created this dramatic shift in the global order. Dr. Azeem Ibrahim is the author of “Authoritarian Century: Omens of a Post-Liberal Future.” He is a Research Professor at the Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College, and a Director at the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy in Washington, D.C. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge after which he completed fellowships at the universities of Oxford, Harvard and Yale. Follow him on X at @AzeemIbrahim.

The Rohingya have often felt forgotten, cast aside by the global community after being brutally cast out of Myanmar. But the UN's top court is siding with Rohingya and ordering Myanmar to protect the minority Muslim group. Is the break the Rohingya have long needed?

He is also an Adjunct Research Professor at the Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College, and authored the books, "The Rohingyas: Inside Myanmar's Hidden Genocide.", AND "Radical Origins:Why We Are Losing The Battle Against Islamic Extremism" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
