It also considers resistance to enslavement, slavery in Muslim societies, Britain’s abolition laws, compensation to slave owners, and the growing international debate over reparations and historical responsibility.
Greece is witnessing growing public opposition to the government’s strategic relationship with Israel. The backlash has spread across political parties, trade unions, port workers, civil society groups and local communities.

The article places these developments against the wider global response to the Gaza war and Israel’s conduct across the Middle East. It also considers the role of Arab states in preserving positions on Palestine and occupied territories, arguing that diplomatic statements alone are insufficient. The struggle over Israel’s international standing is entering a decisive phase.
Five years after the Taliban returned to power, Afghanistan presents a mixed picture of consolidation and crisis. Large-scale violence has declined, security has improved, and the Taliban have pursued major infrastructure and connectivity projects while expanding ties with neighbouring countries.

Relations with Pakistan have deteriorated sharply, while the exclusion of women and girls from education, employment and public life remains the most serious human rights issue. Murtaza Shibli examines the Taliban’s record, evolving regional relationships and the challenges shaping Afghanistan’s future.
