With the world in a state of perpetual flux, it can be difficult to stay updated on the latest global events. From the United States to the Middle East, the past year has seen its fair share of political and social turmoil. Here is a look at some of the most important current global events.
In the United States, the 2020 election has been the main story. After months of intense campaigning and a record-breaking voter turnout, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the election, making him the 46th President of the United States. While the election was a historic moment, the country is still facing the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of confirmed cases in the United States has surpassed 13 million and the death toll is approaching 250,000.
In the Middle East, the conflict between Israel and Palestine has been escalating. Since the beginning of the year, there have been several airstrikes and rocket attacks by both sides. The situation has been further complicated by the United Arab Emirates’ agreement to normalize relations with Israel. This move has been met with mixed reactions from the international community.
In Europe, the United Kingdom has officially left the European Union after a nearly four-year Brexit process. The UK’s departure has left many questions unanswered about the future of the EU, as well as the economic and political implications for the UK.
In Asia, the coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact. China has implemented strict lockdowns and travel restrictions in order to contain the virus. India, meanwhile, has seen a dramatic surge in cases, becoming the second-most infected country in the world.
Finally, in Africa, the continent is facing a number of challenges. The ongoing civil war in Ethiopia has displaced millions of people and is exacerbating the region’s food insecurity. In addition, the continent is also facing a surge in cases of the Ebola virus, which has killed thousands of people.
These are just a few of the major global events taking place in the world today. With so much happening, it can be difficult to keep up with the news. However, it is important to stay informed in order to understand the current state of the world and the challenges that lie ahead.
