France wants to achieve its ends mainly by defeating jihadists militarily, whereas local leaders want to secure political solutions through talks. Which looks a lot like a replay of old colonial-era dynamics. - 2023/06 / article

President Nayib Bukele claimed in December 2021 that this had been ‘the safest year ever recorded in El Salvador' . The country's self-styled ‘CEO' was addressing a group of youths about to join the army under a national plan to crack down on gangs. The country saw a spectacular fall in violent crime that year: homicides, at 1,147 (17.6 per 100,000 inhabitants), were the lowest since the civil war ended in 1992. And in 2020 the authorities had already reported a 45% fall (with most killings (...) - 2023/06 / box, 2023/06 El Salvador

Anyone who learned about the second world war through how it has been commemorated in 2023 would come away with some very strange ideas. On 27 January the director of the Auschwitz museum celebrated the anniversary of the camp's liberation but didn't invite any representatives of its liberators. Russia got a mention in the official speech, but only to compare the camp to the war in Ukraine: ‘Once again, innocent people are being killed en masse in Europe.' On 25 April the Italian senate's (...) - 2023/06 / editorial

Last Tuesday Israel launched a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, the first of which killed three members of Islamic Jihad and nine civilians. An Egypt-mediated ceasefire came after five days and the deaths of more than 33 Palestinians, including six children. This unrelenting suffering will continue to cast a long shadow over the population of Gaza. Twenty years ago, when I was beginning my career as a young doctor in Gaza, I watched children playing in the streets. One boy (...) - Outside in
