The Two Presidents of Venezuela Dates would be important to mention here. Hugo Chavez came into power in 1999 and remained president until 2013 when he died, after which **Nicolas Madur**o took over and has been in power since then. That's over 20 years of the same government and economic policies. US sanctions came in during the past couple of years, due to the Venezuelan government's involvement in international drug trade and domestic terrorism, which is well documented.…
The Rwandan genocide The 1994 massacre in Rwanda revealed the inability of a UN peacekeeping mission to respond effectively to the protection of civilians, one of the fundamental responsibilities of the international security organization, given its objectives.

Private Military Companies In the last couple of years, we've seen more and more talks about the Wagner Company, a Russian private military company (PMC), and the role it plays in Ukraine, Syria and Libya. With the advantage of absolute power, Putin has elevated the use of PMCs for manipulative purposes to a new level, but the controversy surrounding such companies is neither new nor limited to Wagner. Private military companies (PMCs) are not a new occurrence on the…
Joe Biden and the Middle East The commitment or non-commitment of the US President-elect Joe Biden in the Middle East still raises questions. After Iran, other problematic issues of the region are waiting for a sign from the new Administration. Beyond the diminishing US military footprint in the Middle East, begun by President Barrack Obama and reaching its peak during Donald Trump's term, the scenario is almost certain that the era of US "interventionism" is over.
