  • In this episode of GC News we'll be looking at four stories from different parts of the world.
    🇨🇩 First, a recent surge in attacks linked to a terrorist organization known as the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) resulted in deadly protests the Democratic Republic of the Congo's (DRC) North Kivu province. The ADF was originally established in Uganda, but later relocated to the eastern DRC in the 1990s. Considered the deadliest of nearly a dozen or so groups operating in the DRC, the ADF is reported to have killed about 6,000 people since 2013.
    🇸🇴 Next, Somalia and Turkey have signed a series of landmark deals, including a memorandum of understanding (MOU), which establishes Ankara as a partner in Mogadishu's maritime security and law enforcement for the next 10 years. This MOU was followed by another, which will make Turkey a partner in the exploration, extraction, and possible distribution of Somalia's oil and natural gas reserves.
    🇲🇻 Heading east, the Maldives recently decided to ban Israeli tourists from entering the country due to the ongoing war in Gaza. Although details of the ban are still being worked out, some are concerned this could unintentionally impact the nearly 2 million Arab citizens of Israel.
    🇰🇵 🇰🇷 And finally, tensions are rising on the Korean Peninsula after North Korea released thousands of balloons filled with trash. Pyongyang claimed this was done in retaliation for an ongoing campaign by defectors and activists in South Korea who regularly send balloons across the highly militarized border.

    Aside from the interesting information as always, you are the master of the world’s most difficult names! 👏👏 The balloon segment was…wow.

      Wow, thank you so much! We're aiming to make GC News a reoccurring series here on the channel (probably 1 video a month or something like that); so, we've got plenty more planned.

    Love this format, makes me feel like I'm reading the paper in Victoria 2.
    I always wished there was a "whats going on in the world" section in my local paper that covered this in this scope.

      Thank you and there's actually more to that story, since North Korean troops crossed the border several times recently. According to South Korea, this likely was accidental - they were laying down land-mines on sections of the DMZ - but still, it put Seoul understandably on guard.

    I was wondering why Turkei had such a big hand in Somalia... 30% of the EES's revenue is huge.

      A few years back, Turkey also secured a 99-year lease over Suakin Island over in Sudan. Ankara plans to restore the ruined Ottoman port-city on the Red Sea and it may fit into oil/natural gas exploration off the coast of Somalia.

    I haven't finished the video yet, but could you cover Rwenzururu you mentioned here! I know that name might be a little difficult, but it's a really interesting story in Uganda that really didn't get as much coverage as it probably should've considering the unrest a few years back.

    • @GhostCountries
      @GhostCountries  18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I've actually been planning an episode on Rwenzururu for quite a while now, but there's a few topics I was holding until the channel's views hit certain metrics. We're pretty close now - I'd personally like to see more videos hitting 50K regularly - but Rwenzururu definitely is going to happen sometime!

    It's interesting how many armed groups that's in the DRC.

    • @My-cat-is-staring-at-you
      @My-cat-is-staring-at-you 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      A LOT. Back in the 90s every country neighboring the DRC had to deal with armed groups hiding out across the border. As for Kivu, I think there are at least 6.

    The US should restrict travel to the Maldives punitively, keep American tourist money to countries that deserve it and within our borders.
