South Korea’s Political Crisis Intensifies as Acting President Impeached

South Korea's parliament has voted to impeach Acting President Han Duck-soo, marking the second impeachment of a top leader in two weeks. The National Assembly secured 192 votes for Han's impeachment, surpassing the required 151-vote threshold. Han assumed leadership after President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment following a controversial martial law proposal on December 3. Opposition legislators pursued Han's impeachment, claiming he obstructed Yoon's impeachment process. The parliamentary session erupted in discord when Speaker Woo Won-shik announced the 151-vote requirement for Han's impeachment, lower than the 200 votes needed for Yoon's removal. Members of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) protested this decision, with many boycotting the vote while denouncing it as an "abuse of power." Han will be suspended upon official parliamentary notification. Like Yoon's case, the Constitutional Court must review the impeachment within 180 days. "I respect the National […]

Another Critical Power Link Goes Dark Amid Regional Infrastructure Concerns

A major undersea power cable connecting Finland and Estonia has experienced an outage, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo announced Wednesday, initiating an investigation into the cause. The Estlink-2 cable's power transmission interruption was confirmed by Orpo on social media platform X, where he assured that Finland's electricity supply would remain stable despite the disruption. Estonian network operator Elering reported through public broadcaster ERR that Estonia's power demands could be met through alternative capacity sources, minimizing the impact on the country's electricity supply. This incident occurs amid heightened regional concern over Baltic Sea infrastructure security. In November, two separate undersea data cables were damagedโ€”one connecting Finland to Germany and another linking Lithuania with Sweden. Germany's defense minister addressed the November incidents in a speech about hybrid warfare threats from Russia, suggesting "sabotage" as a likely cause, though no evidence was presented […]

‘We Are Not Afraid’: Northern Governor Threatens Showdown Over Tinubu’s Tax Reforms

Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has criticized President Bola Tinubu's administration's tax reform policies, describing them as detrimental to northern Nigeria's interests.

From Village Boy to Economic Revolutionary: The Indian PM Who Transformed a Nation’s Future

Manmohan Singh, who served as India's Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014 and was widely recognized as the architect of India's economic liberalization, has died at age 92 in Delhi. Born in 1932 in a remote Punjab village without basic amenities, Singh rose from humble beginnings to earn degrees from Cambridge and Oxford. His academic excellence led to a distinguished career as an economist, serving as India's central bank governor before entering politics. Singh's pivotal moment came in 1991 when, as finance minister, he spearheaded unprecedented economic reforms during India's financial crisis. He liberalized the economy by reducing taxes, devaluing the rupee, privatizing state companies, and opening doors to foreign investment. These measures helped revive India's economy and maintain strong growth throughout the 1990s. In 2004, Singh became India's first Sikh Prime Minister when Congress party president Sonia Gandhi declined […]
