Climate, Peace and Security Fact Sheet: Afghanistan

Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change: rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns and increasingly frequent extreme weather events. Currently, Afghanistan is experiencing its worst drought in 27 years, which, compounded with COVID-19 and the economic contraction that followed the takeover of the government by the Taliban in August 2021, has significantly increased livelihood and food insecurity and contributed to a growing humanitarian emergency.

Sudan military reinstates prime minister, but protests continue

Sudan's military has reinstated Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok on Sunday. They have announced the release of all political detainees after weeks of deadly unrest triggered by a coup. Dr Andrew Yaw Tchie from the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs says one of the significant issues with a Sudanese power-sharing agreement, designed to end the deadly unrest following the coup, is that it's not actually what the civilians who are protesting want.
