As Algerians fast, pray and gather for the holy month of Ramadan, a worry lurks in many minds: how to afford the holiday feasts this year. In addition to its religious significance for billions of Muslims, Ramadan also means tables laden with rich and varied meals eaten after the muezzin’s call to break the fast at sunset. Today, these feasts come at a cost beyond the reach of many Algerians, whose purchasing power has declined in recent years despite Algeria’s gas and oil riches, pushing more and more people below the poverty line. Food prices have soared, and tensions at marketplaces now occasionally…

U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran will reinforce the nuclear ambitions of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, say experts and former officials, as attention focuses on whether he might return to negotiations with President Donald Trump. Talks to tackle Pyongyang’s arsenal of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, subject to heavy international sanctions, broke down despite summits between Kim and Trump in 2018 and 2019, but the attacks on Iran could spur it to reconsider. The Iran strikes, which killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, come two months after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, another leader without a nuclear deterrent, was captured…

While Greenland’s governing coalition, led by Demokraatit, advocates a pragmatic, long-term path toward independence with Denmark as a key partner, the opposition Naleraq party is pushing for a swift separation, sharpening a divide that analysts say Washington could seek to make use of. “The American side has begun to look for areas where Greenland has real disagreements with…
