Ethiopia has inaugurated the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), a massive project on the Blue Nile that has been a source of national unity but also a major point of contention with downstream nations, particularly Egypt.

Historians and activists state that from the 1950s to the 1980s, tens of thousands of South Korean women worked in state-sanctioned brothels, serving U.S. troops stationed in the country to protect the South from North Korea. In 2022, South Korea’s top court ruled that the government had illegally “established, managed, and operated” these brothels for the U.S. military, ordering it to pay compensation to around 120 plaintiffs.
