 In mid-December 2025, the international community finds itself grappling with a period of intense transition and instability. From the fragile aftermath of regime changes in the Middle East to constitutional crises in East Asia and the worsening effects of climate change in South Asia, the past week has underscored the volatile state of global security and humanitarian welfare. THE MIDDLE EAST One year after the dramatic fall of the Assad regime in Syria, the nation remains a symbol of both hope and despair.

On today’s book review, we'll be reflecting on the book,  Why You Act the Way You Do by Tim LaHaye. It is a book that explains the reasons behind human behavior and how personality differ in a clear and practical way. The book focuses on helping readers understand themselves and others by examining temperament rather than judging actions as simply good or bad. LaHaye introduces four basic temperament types: sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. He explains that everyone possesses a mixture of these traits, with one or two usually dominating. Through this framework, the author shows how these temperament shapes communication styles, emotional reactions, leadership abilities, and relationships. The good thing is, his ideas are presented in simple language which makes the book quite accessible to a wide audience. A major lesson of the book is its emphasis on self-awareness and responsibility. LaHaye encourages readers to recognize both their strengths and weakn...

The withdrawal of foreign forces in 2021 and the return of the Taliban to power marked another major turning point in Afghanistan’s political history. Politically,Afghanistan is ...
