Öcalan Calls, PKK and Turkish Government Pick Up: Is a New Peace Process on the Line?

With the PKK’s dissolution now a confirmed reality, Türkiye faces its most credible opportunity for peace in a generation. The move reflects not just a tactical shift, but a strategic recalibration shaped by regional isolation, political pressure, and Öcalan’s renewed push for a democratic solution. Still, the end of armed struggle is only the beginning. Whether this moment leads to lasting peace depends on the state’s willingness to confront the structural inequalities at the heart of the Kurdish question.

Who Votes in Brazil? Social and Economic Determinants of Participation

In Brazil, voting is mandatory for most of the adult population.

[REPORT] The Broken Nation: Myanmar’s Struggle Towards a National Identity

For the entirety of Myanmar’s existence as an independent state, the civil war is the clearest opportunity for the country to form a shared national identity. The Tatmadaw's repression effectively united the warring minorities towards the goal of peace and unity. If this emerging unity remains intact and further develops, it can be said that this conflict’s end may very well determine whether or not Myanmar will become a nation that identifies itself as wholly united in its diversity.
