We live in a violent and complex world—wars, mass migrations, cartel violence, climate disasters, and pandemics shape our daily reality. Yet, despite constant exposure to brutality, many of us still feel appalled, angered, and outraged. That’s due in large part to journalists who bring these stories to light—not to shock, but to deepen our understanding of the world as it truly is.Fabio Bucciarelli is one of them.

2025/01/16

The start of 2025 brings a cascade of global challenges: the war in Ukraine, Middle East conflicts, tensions around Taiwan, environmental crises, and uncertainty about Donald Trump’s return to the presidency. While these dominate headlines, the global threat of terrorism has largely faded from public concern. Al-Qaeda is weakened, ISIS is defeated, and Iran’s influence appears diminished, leaving many to believe the era of major terrorist threats is behind us.But what if this complacency is

When Donald Trump becomes the 49th President of the United States, the world will be watching. For many Americans, however, Trump never really went away. His return to power—winning the Republican primaries, taking control of the party, and securing a majority of the national vote—feels almost inevitable.

Technology, much like the runaway broom in Goethe’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice, often exacerbates the chaos instead of resolving it. But what if open-source information and intelligent technology could simplify complexities and illuminate the truth? Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, is striving to make this a reality.

In 2015, the world pledged to achieve gender equality by 2030 as part of the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals. Nearly a decade later, it’s clear the target won’t be met, with the World Economic Forum estimating gender parity is still 131 years away. While some progress has been made, particularly in Europe and North America, much of the Global South lags behind—though countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Singapore, and Chile are notable exceptions.
