This episode explores a range of global news stories from April 15th. The main focus is on the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Sudan, where hundreds of thousands fled Zamzam, the largest refugee camp in Darfur, following attacks by paramilitary forces. More significantly, the displacement highlights the escalating conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with the RSF's control of Darfur raising concerns about civilian safety and human rights abuses. Against this backdrop, the podcast also covers Hungary's constitutional changes stigmatizing LGBTQ+ individuals, El Salvador's president refusing to return a man mistakenly deported from the US, and the all-female Blue Origin space tourism flight. Furthermore, the episode touches upon the Vatican's declaration of Antoni Gaudí as venerable, paving his way to sainthood, and a scandal involving individuals allegedly using confidential information to bet on the timing of the UK's general election. Finally, the ongoing antitrust lawsuit against Meta, alleging abuse of market power, is discussed. What this means for international relations, human rights, and the future of social media is left open for further discussion.
