The US presidential election is coming up and both the Democratic and Republican parties are choosing their nominees. The incumbent, President Donald Trump, has his challengers. But he has always looked like the shoo-in for the Republicans. Different story for the Democrats, who started with a record 28 candidates and have been working their way down to just one. The US system for choosing presidential nominees is unlike anything else in the world. It’s messy and convoluted, and not everyone thinks it’s fair. Start Here explains.

AlJazeeraEnglish

The United Nations special envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths, has called for immediate de-escalation as a drastic surge in fighting threatens to exacerbate the country’s long-running war and further complicate a fragile peace process. Some say it might jeopardise two years of efforts by the UN negotiators to secure peace between Houthi rebels and the UN-recognised government. The government has been fighting the rebels since 2014, when they overran the capital Sanaa. The conflict has left tens of thousands of people dead and triggered what the UN says is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Will the US stick with Taiwan?I Inside Story

Update Date：
Post Date：

AlJazeeraEnglish

Tsai Ing-Wen’s emphatic re-election win sent a clear message that Taiwan rejects China’s plan for reunification with the island. It’s a remarkable turnaround for the president, whose party suffered major losses in local elections just a year ago. However, months of anti-government protests in nearby Hong Kong boosted her campaign. Scenes of police cracking down on demonstrators appear to have galvanised younger voters. Tsai warned that Taiwan’s democratic rights must be preserved. The island has its own military, currency and a passport accepted in most countries. But, crucially, it does not have a seat at the United Nations. Only 15 countries officially recognise Taiwan’s democratic government…and the United States is […]

AlJazeeraEnglish

For years, private armies have provided services to governments around the world. They are often secretive and operate in the shadows. Blackwater – now known as Academi – is one of the most well-known private armies. It has provided troops and other services to the US government in different conflicts, including the Iraq war. But it is not always clear how these private armies are formed, where they operate, or even what their missions consist of. Eeben Barlow is chairman of ‘Specialised Tasks, Training, Equipment and Protection International’ – a private army that – according to Barlow – has operated throughout Africa and beyond. He was also behind another similar […]
