Myanmar holds first election since 2021 coup
YANGON — Voters in Myanmar went to the polls Sunday for the first phase of the country’s first general election in five years. The election, being held in three phases through late January, is widely expected to pave the way for junta leader Min Aung Hlaing to formally assume the presidency. Final results are expected to be announced in February. The military has portrayed the vote as a step toward restoring electoral democracy after it seized power in February 2021, ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. Critics, however, say the process is designed to legitimize continued military rule, pointing to the exclusion of major opposition parties, tight restrictions on free expression and reports of voter intimidation. More than 4,800 candidates from 57 parties are contesting...

Guinea votes in first post-coup election as junta leader tipped to win presidency
CONAKRY — Guineans voted on Sunday in the country’s first presidential election since a 2021 military coup, with junta leader Mamadi Doumbouya widely expected to win amid a weakened and sidelined opposition. The vote marks the culmination of a four-year transition that began when Doumbouya seized power and ousted then-president Alpha Condé. Critics say the junta has since tightened its grip by suppressing dissent and marginalizing opposition parties, leaving Doumbouya with little serious competition among the nine candidates. Despite Guinea’s vast natural wealth — including its status as the world’s largest exporter of bauxite, a key component in aluminum production — more than half of its 15 million people face acute poverty and food insecurity, according to the World Food...

Iran’s president says country is in ‘full-scale war’ with the West
TEHRAN — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that Iran is engaged in what he described as a “full-scale war” with the United States, Israel and Europe, days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to meet US President Donald Trump in Washington. In an interview published on the website of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Pezeshkian said the confrontation facing Iran is more severe than the 1980s war with Iraq. “We are in a full-scale war with the U.S., Israel and Europe; they don’t want our country to remain stable,” he said. Pezeshkian described the pressure from Western powers as “more complicated and more difficult” than the 1980–1988 Iran-Iraq war, which left more than one million people killed or wounded on both sides. His...

Zelenskyy to meet Trump in Florida as US pushes updated Ukraine peace plan
WASHINGTON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday for talks aimed at ending nearly four years of war between Ukraine and Russia. The meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence comes as Washington advances an updated, U.S.-brokered peace proposal that Moscow has yet to endorse. Discussions are also expected to cover possible U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine. The talks follow a wave of heavy Russian strikes on Kyiv over the weekend, which Zelenskyy said underscored that Moscow “doesn’t want peace.” Ukrainian authorities said a 10-hour missile and drone barrage late Friday killed two people and injured at least 32 others in the capital. Additional Russian attacks were reported Saturday night, damaging energy and...

Arab, Islamic and African states reject Israel’s recognition of Somaliland
RIYADH — Representatives of 21 Arab, Islamic and African countries on Saturday condemned Israel’s decision to recognize Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland as an independent state, warning that the move violates international law and threatens regional stability. In a joint statement released by the Foreign Ministry of Qatar, the countries said Israel’s decision set a “serious precedent” that endangers international peace and security. The statement said the recognition violates the principles of international law and the United Nations Charter, which affirm the sovereignty of states and their territorial integrity, and accused Israel of pursuing an expansionist agenda. It described the move as a sign of Israel’s “blatant disregard for international law” and warned...

Storm-related building collapse kills Palestinian woman in Gaza
GAZA — A Palestinian woman was killed and several members of her family were injured on Sunday after part of a damaged building collapsed during severe weather in the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources. Medics said a wall from a residential structure weakened by previous Israeli strikes collapsed onto a tent sheltering a 30-year-old woman in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City. Heavy rainfall and strong winds have swept across the enclave since late Saturday, flooding and uprooting thousands of tents housing displaced Palestinians. In southern Gaza, hundreds of tents erected along the beach in Khan Younis were inundated as rough seas and rising waves, driven by a low-pressure weather system, surged inland. Aid workers and residents warned that the harsh weather poses growing...
