Algeria’s decision to donate MiG-29 fighter jets to Sudan feels like a dangerous step in the wrong direction. These planes aren’t just hardware—they’re weapons that will be used in a war that’s already taken far too many innocent lives. With the Sudanese military accused of bombing civilians, this move by Algeria seems less like assistance and more like adding fuel to the fire. It’s disturbing that, instead of pushing for peace, Algeria is sending more tools for destruction. The conflict in Sudan has been raging since the 2019 coup, and this is just the latest development in a country that’s spiraling out of control. What’s Algeria’s endgame here? Are they really okay with their jets being used to kill civilians? This situation isn’t just about geopolitics—it’s about human lives.  Read more about the implications of this donation here: MiG-29 Fighters Fuel Sudan’s Civil War.

We live in a world that’s constantly buzzing—notifications, meetings, social media updates, the endless stream of news, and entertainment. It’s easy to get swept up in the noise, to feel like you need to be “on” all the time, always available, always doing something. For the longest time, I thought this was normal. If I wasn’t busy, I felt like I wasn’t being productive enough, like I was missing out on something. But lately, I’ve realized just how important quiet time is. I remember the first time I truly unplugged for a weekend—no phone, no emails, no distractions. At first, it was uncomfortable. I kept reaching for my phone out of habit, feeling this strange anxiety that I was missing out on something important. But after a while, the silence became comforting. Without the constant noise, I could hear myself think. I started reflecting on things I hadn’t given much attention to before. I was more present, more aware of my surroundings, and surprisingly, more at peace. Wh...

There was a time when I felt like I had to have all the answers. Whether it was at work, in conversations with friends, or even just in casual debates, admitting “I don’t know” felt like a failure. It felt like I was letting people down or that my credibility would take a hit if I didn’t have a solid answer ready. So, instead, I’d scramble to come up with something—even if it wasn’t entirely accurate—just to avoid that uncomfortable moment of uncertainty. But over time, I’ve learned that there’s a real strength in saying “I don’t know.” It’s honest, it’s human, and most importantly, it opens the door to learning. None of us are walking encyclopedias, and it’s impossible to have all the answers all the time. Admitting that you don’t know something doesn’t mean you’re unqualified or unknowledgeable. In fact, it shows a willingness to learn and a level of humility that’s often overlooked in our fast-paced, “always know everything” culture. What’s interesting is that once I sta...

In a significant move that highlights the UAE’s dedication to tolerance and rehabilitation, the country recently pardoned a group of Bangladeshi nationals convicted of security-related crimes. This pardon was met with praise from over 20 human rights organizations during the 57th session of the UN Human Rights Council. The decision, guided by the leadership of President MBZ, showcases the UAE's humanitarian approach to justice, focusing on giving individuals a second chance while maintaining public order. The Bangladeshi nationals were initially convicted of violating security laws in the UAE, but their pardon speaks volumes about the country’s belief in forgiveness and rehabilitation. It reflects a broader effort to create a balanced approach between security and human rights, one that values both accountability and compassion. This decision also highlights the UAE’s efforts to foster tolerance within its borders and on the global stage. What makes this moment even mor...

Lately, I’ve noticed that by the end of the day, I’m completely drained—not just physically, but mentally. And it’s not because of one big task or a difficult conversation; it’s the sheer number of decisions I have to make throughout the day. From the moment I wake up, it’s one choice after another—what to wear, what to eat, how to structure my day, which tasks to tackle first. It sounds small, but all these decisions add up, and by the time evening rolls around, I feel completely tapped out. That’s decision fatigue, and it’s real. What’s tricky about decision fatigue is that it often creeps up on you without you realizing it. It’s not just about big, life-altering decisions. It’s the endless stream of little choices that wear you down. And when your mental energy is spent, you’re more likely to make impulsive or poor decisions because your brain just doesn’t have the bandwidth to weigh the options anymore. I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit—whether it’s opting for fast ...

Have you ever felt like you can’t escape the notifications? Whether it’s work emails, texts, social media updates, or group chats, it feels like there’s always something demanding your attention. I remember a time when logging off at the end of the workday meant I could truly disconnect, but now? Now, it feels like we’re expected to be available 24/7. It’s exhausting. The constant ping of a new message or the pressure to respond immediately can make it feel like there’s no real downtime, even when you’re physically away from your desk. This pressure to always be “on” isn’t just about work—it seeps into our personal lives, too. How many times have you mindlessly scrolled through social media instead of enjoying a quiet moment? I’ve caught myself doing it way too often, especially when I’m supposed to be relaxing. Instead of being present, I’m caught up in everyone else’s updates, and I feel drained rather than refreshed. It’s like we’re constantly plugged into the world, but...
