2025/11/28

It's a conflict that has raged for 40 years – and cost the lives of 40,000 people – but could now be coming to an end. Since the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militant group announced its dissolution and the end of its armed struggle with Turkey, the population of Diyarbakir, a Kurdish city in southeastern Turkey, has been waiting. The Kurds have long hoped for peace, but under what conditions can it truly be achieved? And is a lasting peace even possible? FRANCE 24's Jenna Le Bras and Adrià Rocha

2025/10/24

It’s been two decades since a wave of riots in France was sparked by the tragic death of two young men fleeing a police patrol in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois. Have lessons been learnt, or could tensions over youth unemployment and police harassment easily explode again in France’s underprivileged suburbs? FRANCE 24’s Ségolène Malterre and Mélina Huet met residents to find out.

2025/10/10

In April 2023, Kenyan human rights defenders discovered a deadly cult in the Shakahola forest. They exhumed more than 400 bodies from mass graves. The pastor of the Good News International Ministries, Paul Mackenzie, had convinced his followers that by starving themselves to death, they would meet Jesus before the apocalypse struck the Earth. In Kenya, there is complete freedom of religion – anyone can preach as they wish. But in this case, the consequences were disastrous. A trial is currently

In Estonia's far northeast lies the Baltic city of Narva, right on the border with Russia.

2025/09/05

It was a campaign promise with deadly consequences. In the Philippines, the war on drugs led by former president Rodrigo Duterte resulted in over 30,000 deaths, according to international organisations. It also left behind broken families who are fighting for justice. Duterte was arrested in March and now faces charges at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. FRANCE 24's Lisa Gamonet reports.

South of the Syrian capital Damascus, Yarmouk refugee camp was the scene of violent clashes between Bashar al-Assad's regime and rebel militias, and later the Islamic State group, during the almost 14-year-long Syrian war. Ahmed and Jihane Tameem were among those who fled the bombs at the end of 2012. Three years later, they left Syria and found refuge in Sweden with their two children. Now, after the fall of Assad, they have returned home to reunite with their loved ones. FRANCE 24's Claire Billet

Nayib Bukele came to power in El Salvador in 2019, winning outright in the first round of presidential elections. Since then, he has steadily consolidated his control. Bukele’s party has dominated the National Assembly since 2021. In 2022, he declared a state of emergency, which remains in effect to this day. He also pressured the Supreme Court to allow him to run for a second term – previously prohibited by the Constitution. Despite concerns over his human rights record, Bukele enjoys overwhelming

By the end of the year, the death toll had risen to 140,000. What has become of the last survivors? How was the city of Hiroshima able to rebuild itself and transform from a city devastated by nuclear weapons to a centre of peace?

Hollywood, a name synonymous with cinema, is seeing its stars fade. Much more than a mythical place, it’s a global industry that generates revenue in the billions making it one of the biggest contributors to California’s economy. Battered by the COVID-19 pandemic, strikes, and devastating wildfires, the film industry is struggling to catch its breath. The box office is plummeting, and studios are relocating for lower production costs — be it in the United States or abroad. Is Hollywood at the dawn

2025/05/09

It's been 50 years since the fall of Saigon, a day that marked the end of a long and brutal chapter in Vietnam’s history. In the years that followed, Ho Chi Minh City rose from the ashes of war, reinventing itself as a bustling metropolis. Yet, beneath the modern skyline and the hum of economic growth, the memories of April 30, 1975, continue to echo. William de Tamaris takes us back to that pivotal moment and explores how a city shaped by conflict now faces the future, while still carrying the

Five decades after the start of Lebanon's civil war, veterans of the conflict are speaking out about their past role in the country's warring militias and how they broke with their respective parties. With the threat of war ever present, they worry that young Lebanese – who do not learn the history of the conflict at school – will fall into the spiral of violence like they did. Our reporters Sophie Guignon and Chloé Domat went to meet them.

In May 2017, a Catholic Mission in Bangassou in the Central African Republic became a symbol of resistance. Priests formed a human chain to defend Muslims from a massacre by Christian majority anti-balaka militants. The priests sheltered the persecuted Muslim community for four years.

2025/02/14

Thirty-five years after the horrors of the Ceaușescu dictatorship were discovered in Romania, our reporters investigated one of the darkest episodes in the country's history – the squalid, state-run institutions where thousands of children were locked away and abused. An estimated 15,000 children died, mostly in so-called hospitals for those often misdiagnosed as severely disabled. While part of society is nostalgic for the Communist era, the work of collective memory and justice is far from

2025/01/31

In 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, hundreds of thousands of students took to the streets of the Thai capital Bangkok, leading to huge demonstrations and an unprecedented protest movement in the “land of smiles”. These young Thais defied the biggest taboo in the kingdom by calling for a reform of the monarchy. Five years on, some of the protesters are still fighting for more democracy. Others, disheartened by the severe crackdown, have lost hope of changing their country's politics.

During World War II, the Japanese imperial authorities abducted, coerced, tricked and sometimes recruited hundreds of thousands of women from Japan's colonial empire to become sexual slaves for soldiers. Sometimes minors, these women were called "comfort women" and were raped repeatedly in brothels near the front lines. With only a handful of survivors still alive in China, our reporters met one of them: 95-year-old Peng Zhuying. She is determined to share her story in a country where the subject

Four years after the deadly assault on the US Capitol, two opposing narratives persist about what took place that fateful day. More than 1,500 people have since been criminally indicted in federal court, but President-elect Donald Trump has promised to pardon them all on his first day in office. Our correspondent Fanny Allard met a convicted rioter, a policeman who was injured on January 6, 2021 and a member of the bipartisan committee tasked with investigating the attack.
