When the world's at stake, go beyond the headlines.
Since the end of World War II, the United States has maintained hundreds of military installations abroad. While U.S. forces have faced some objections to their presence, many allies and partners have seen U.S. bases and other facilities on their territory as a sign of their close relations with a superpower, a form of protection, and an economic boon.
When the world's at stake, go beyond the headlines.

Liesbeth kreeg PTSS na bevalling: 'Ik schaamde me ervoor'

Deze week: wat als jouw bevalling een posttraumatische stressstoornis (PTSS) veroorzaakt?

"Na een zorgeloze zwangerschap kwamen bij 37 weken mijn weeën op gang.

Moedertaboes, bestaan ze nog? In deze reeks behandelen we de laatste onbesproken zaken rondom het moederschap. Deze week: teleurgesteld zijn in het geslacht van je kind. "Wanneer je als zwangere of moeder aangeeft dat je liever een kindje van het andere geslacht had gewild, dan worden mensen soms boos of kijken ze je op z'n minst raar aan. Ik kan het wel begrijpen, maar ik heb zelf die gevoelens ook niet echt in de hand.

"Toen ik Luca op mijn borst gelegd kreeg, zag ik geen bekend gezicht. Ik voelde geen vlinders, geen roze of blauwe wolk.

The great Republican divide can be healed
After a rollercoaster decade, the US Republican Party is barely recognisable. The compassionate conservatism of President Bush, followed by relative moderates John McCain and Mitt Romney as presidential nominees, feels a long time ago now. This is exemplified with Romney being loudly booed and heckled at his own conference, showing just how far the party has moved from him.
Trump, not ‘the liberal media’, is dividing the Republican Party
Last month, Donald Trump’s former UN ambassador Nikki Haley argued in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal that “the liberal media … wants to stoke a nonstop Republican civil war”. She wrote that “The media playbook starts with the demand that everyone pick sides about Donald Trump – either love or hate everything about him.
Republicans are overwhelmingly sticking with Trump, yet again Original
On January 13, Donald Trump became the first president in US history to be impeached twice.
The Republicans do not have the moral courage to take on Trump
There are options for legal recourse against Trump, but the GOP will block them. On January 6, supporters of outgoing US President Donald Trump took over the US Capitol Building, which houses the meeting chambers of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The aim of this violence was to disrupt the congressional vote to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral college win and to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
How the Western Sahara Became the Key to North Africa

Šta zaista stoji iza Trumpovih tužbi?
Više od dvije sedmice nakon što je SAD održao predsjedničke i kongresne izbore, još vlada nesigurnost u vezi ishoda. Iako je većina američkih medija proglasila demokratskog kandidata Joea Bidena pobjednikom, predsjednik Donald Trump je odbio prihvatiti poraz. Njegova kampanja je podnijela tužbe u pokušaju da ospori brojanje glasova u nekoliko država, uprkos činjenici da blizu 80 posto Amerikanaca prepoznaje Bidena kao svog novog predsjednika.

What is really behind Trump’s legal challenges?
More than two weeks after the United States held a presidential and congressional election, there is still lingering uncertainty about its outcome. While much of the US media has declared Democratic nominee Joe Biden the winner, President Donald Trump has refused to accept defeat. His campaign has filed lawsuits seeking to challenge the vote count in several states, despite the fact that nearly 80 percent of Americans recognise Biden as their next president.
Trumpism is here to stay
The 2020 US election is still undecided, with neither candidate yet securing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to secure the presidency. It looks like Biden is inching towards victory after razor-thin wins in hotly contested Michigan and Wisconsin and potentially flipping Arizona, but several states remain too close to call. The Trump campaign has already filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia, gearing up to contest the result.
The final debate reinforced Biden’s lead
President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, met for their second and final presidential debate on Thursday night in Nashville, Tennessee. The debate was moderated by Kristen Welker, the White House correspondent of NBC News, and featured a mute button to help maintain order after the chaos of the first presidential debate. And it helped. This debate featured a calmer, more substantive discussion on policy.
The Amy Coney Barrett hearings were political theatre
Earlier this week, the American public watched carefully the congressional hearings of President Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett. For four days, Barrett answered questions about her background and legal opinions. To a non-American, this may have seemed like a useless exercise, given that the Republicans hold a 57-43 majority over the Democrats in the Senate, so Barrett’s confirmation is sure to sail through.
The VP debate solidifies Biden-Harris lead in the homestretch
The US vice-presidential debate was a welcome departure from the chaos that marked the presidential debate last week. Historically, these debates have not had much influence on the results of the presidential election but 2020, for so many reasons, is different. We are living in the midst of a global pandemic that has hit the US especially hard.
Biden osvaja neodlučne birače

China in the Mediterranean: Implications of expanding Sino-North Africa relations
Executive summary1 The southern shores of the Mediterranean have become one of the most significant sites of great power competition as the United States continues to take a back seat in global affairs.

Are COVID-19 restrictions inflaming religious tensions?
The novel coronavirus that causes the disease known as COVID-19 is sweeping across the Middle East and reigniting religious tensions, as governments tighten the reins on long-held practices in the name of fighting the pandemic. There is no doubt that the restrictions, including the closure of Shia shrines in Iraq and Iran and the cancelation of the hajj to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, are necessary for public health reasons. Ordinarily, these sites draw millions of Muslim pilgrims.

The Battleground for the Morocco-Algeria Rivalry
In an interview last month with Jeune Afrique, Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita argued that Morocco-Algeria relations “are at a dead end at every level.” To add insult to injury, in a meeting with business leaders in Algiers last week, Algeria’s foreign minister Abdelkader Messahel accused Morocco of “laundering cannabis money via its banks in the continent (Africa).” Rabat reacted to the comments by recalling its ambassador to Algeria on 21 October.
Political Parties, Elections, and the Illusion of Opposition in Morocco

The Tragedy and Farce of Sisi's Call to "Religious Revolution"
Largely lost amid the media din stirred by events in Paris earlier this month,President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi delivered a speech to Egypt’s Ministry of Awqaf (religious endowments) on January 1. Sisi’s speech was given at a celebration for the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, which happened to coincide with New Year’s Day this year.
