Can Iraq handle future security challenges alone?

Three-and-a-half years of war in Sudan have forced millions of people from their homes. Most remain in limbo in temporary camps and shelters, facing a worsening food crisis, while aid agencies say a sharp global funding shortfall means they can’t reach everyone. So will anyone step in to help the civilians caught up in the fighting?

In this episode:
Cameron Hudson, Former Director for African Affairs at the US National Security Council
Noah Taylor, Head of Operations in Sudan for the Norwegian Refugee Council
Kholood Khair, Founding Director of Confluence Advisory

Host: Mohammed Jamjoom

Has the world ignored the plight of Sudan's war victims?

The US brokered a ceasefire to end Israel's war on Gaza. But since then, Israel has not stopped its attacks. Meanwhile, funding shortages are forcing the World Food Programme to cut back its operations in Gaza, leaving half a million Palestinians without badly needed food aid. So how can that gap be closed?

In this episode:
Tamer Qarmout, Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies
Mohammed Salah, entrepreneur and founder of Tech From Palestine
Natasha Hall, Senior Advocate for the Middle East with Refugees International and an Associate Fellow at Chatham House

Can a humanitarian crisis in Gaza be averted? 

Weeks of student protests in France have grown into some of the worst unrest in recent years. They started as a call for reforms to the education system. But they've since expanded into demonstrations against the high cost of living and planned cuts to social services. And France isn't alone. Demonstrators have taken to the streets in other parts of Europe. So how will Europe deal with the protests?

In this episode:
Diane de Vignemont, independent journalist and historian
Julius Fintelmann, Co-founder and Editor-in-chief at The European Correspondent
Jaime Velazquez, independent journalist
