2026/08/11

A new wave of radicalization is sweeping through youth, fueled by online content and manifesting as “nihilistic violent extremism” — where violence is pursued for its own sake, not tied to a single ideology.

2026/08/11

The Reserve Bank held interest rates steady at 4.35% for the second consecutive time, as expected, after softer-than-anticipated inflation data and despite global oil price pressures.
