“The July Revolution 2024: A New Dawn That Shook Bangladesh”
In July 2024, Bangladesh experienced a watershed moment. What started out as a protest by students turned into a national call for justice. The “July Revolution” wasn’t just another movement—it was the awakening of a nation’s suppressed hopes. With youthful leaders at the helm and a united chorus of “justice, not the state,” this was a moment when courage lit the way forward.

The Young Revolutionary Leader: Ibrahim Traoré and the New Face of Burkina Faso
“The Young Revolutionary Leader: Ibrahim Traoré and the New Face of Burkina Faso” Burkina Faso is a landlocked country located in West Africa, with a population of around 20 million.

Formerly known as the Republic of Upper Volta, the country changed its name to Burkina Faso on August 4, 1984, which means “Land of the Upright People” — a title that reflects its people's desire for integrity and self-respect.

Russia vs Ukraine: What’s Really Happening in 2025 (A Brutally Honest Breakdown)
I’ve been following this war since the day it began. Not as a soldier, not as a politician, not even as a journalist. Just as a human being who cares deeply about truth, suffering, and the ripple effect of violence. And as I write this in mid-2025, I’m painfully aware of how numb we’ve all become to the phrase Russia vs Ukraine. It’s been over three years. Thousands of headlines. Millions of lives changed. And yet, how many of us really know what’s happening right now?

What I Learned Growing Up in a Cult. Top Story - June 2025.
Earlier this week I was talking to a coworker about life. After a while, we somehow got on the subject of religion. I had to explain that I have an aversion to most organized forms of religion, having been raised in a church that at the time was very cult-like, and later after a split, the faction that stayed with the original leader went full cult. But that begs the question.

"The Iran-Israel Conflict: Assessing the Human and Financial Cost on Both Sides"
The Iran-Israel conflict, although not declared as a full-scale war, has taken a dangerous turn in recent years. Through cyber-attacks, proxy warfare, drone strikes, and missile attacks, both nations have inflicted serious damage on each other — directly and indirectly.

When the Badge Becomes a Bludgeon
“When a long train of abuses and usurpations…” Thomas Jefferson wrote, warning that tyranny doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps. It disguises itself in uniforms. It insists it’s just following policy.

The Ceasefire Everyone’s Talking About, And Why No One Believes It
*I was scrolling through the news at 4:17 AM when I saw the headline. “Trump Declares Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran.” I blinked. Re-read it. Then laughed out loud. Not because peace isn’t welcome but because no one really believes it’s real.

Just Following Orders
The tribunal hall is utterly silent, except for the sniffling and suppressed sobs. The uniformed soldiers keeping the peace are statuesque in their quiet survey of the defendants. Still, whether it was a trick of the light or just fanciful imagination, tear tracks carved down the stony faces as the horrific images played on the large plasma screen.
