Turkiye to Exit Key Iraq Base, Baghdad Pledges Sinjar Cleanup

Turkiye's agreement to gradually withdraw its forces from the Bashiqa-Zelikan military camp in northern Iraq marks a big moment for regional stability. This breakthrough, announced after a meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi at the UN General Assembly, is tied to Baghdad's promise to clear out 'banned foreign armed groups' from the sensitive Sinjar region. This move addresses a long-standing issue between the two countries and could reshape the security landscape in northern Iraq.

Gen Z's Shifting Sands: Young Voters Regret Trump Support, Eye Midterms

A significant and growing number of Gen Z voters, particularly young men who surprisingly backed Donald Trump in the 2024 US Presidential Election, are now turning away from him. Recent polls in 2026 reveal a sharp decline in Trump's approval ratings among this crucial demographic, with nearly one-third expressing regret over their previous vote. This shift signals a potent challenge for the Republican Party heading into the upcoming 2026 Midterm Elections, as young voters voice deep-seated dissatisfaction with economic conditions and the political landscape.

Rwanda's PISA Debut Exposes Learning Gaps, Fuels Ambitious Education Reform Drive

Rwanda's inaugural participation in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2025 has delivered a stark reality check on its education system, revealing significantly low proficiency levels among 15-year-olds in reading, mathematics, and science compared to global averages.

Pakistan Launches Airstrikes on Afghanistan After Drone Attacks, Escalating Tensions

Pakistan launched fresh airstrikes on September 24, 2026, hitting ten locations in Afghanistan, saying these places were used to launch drone attacks against its country. This strong action came just after Pakistan reported stopping eight drones from Afghanistan and shelling its border posts, showing a big increase in problems between the two nations. But the Afghan Taliban government, through its spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid, quickly said they did not send any drones and called Pakistan's attacks 'cowardly,' saying they killed four innocent people in Kandahar, Paktia, and Khost provinces, and warned of serious trouble.

Trump Unleashes on Canada's 'Liberal Takeover,' Citing Immigration Policies

U.S. President Donald Trump has once again stirred the pot, publicly slamming Canada's immigration policies and its 'Liberal takeover' on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Taking to his Truth Social platform, Trump claimed Canada is 'destroying itself' by admitting 'millions and millions' of 'unchecked and unvetted' people, predicting a 'very badly' ending and blaming the influx for 'big unemployment.' Canadian federal ministers, however, quickly fired back, calling the U.S. President's assertions 'ill-informed and grossly inaccurate,' emphasizing their country's robust screening processes.

Netanyahu's Shortened UN Trip Highlights Israel's Growing Global Isolation Amid Inquiry Demands

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's current whirlwind trip to the United Nations General Assembly in New York is turning into a stark symbol of his nation's increasingly isolated global standing, far from the grand diplomatic displays of his past. He's reportedly cutting his visit short due to security concerns and expected protests, even as New York City's Mayor publicly branded him a 'war criminal' just days before his arrival. This dramatically scaled-back presence comes amid ongoing international criticism and an active International Criminal Court arrest warrant against him.
