The Uncertain Future of Europe: Examining the Prospects of Civil War and Social Disintegration

It is crucial for the European Union to swiftly implement stricter immigration policies to prevent the escalation of riots. Some have alleged that the recent riots in France were supposedly planned by the CIA to overthrow the government as President Macron wanted to separate France from the European Union.

How China is Duping the World by Projecting Itself as a ‘Peace Broker’

Pakistan a Liability for SAARC – ‘India Way’ the Path Ahead for South Asia?

Pakistan would be better off if it learns about the seriousness of the issue as no country can serve well by aiding and supporting terrorism and using trade as a guide to its wicked motives, said Dr Jaishankar.  A day without Humiliation is a day wasted for Pakistan, wherein not a day goes by when they are not named, shamed and even humiliated for what they are and their actions. As a matter of fact, the external affairs Minister of India Dr S Jaishankar took a jibe at Pakistan in the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) meeting saying that India cannot and will not tolerate a...
