South Korea was plunged into crisis, chaos, and turmoil in the late hours of Tuesday, December 3 as the country’s President, Yoon Suk Seol, made the shockingly brazen decision to declare martial law. This declaration was swiftly reversed, as Yoon backed down and lifted the order just over 6 hours later following an emergency vote by members of the National Assembly.

Last year was the hottest year on record. Though this phrase is a tune all too familiar by now. The last ten years have consecutively broken the record for hottest year. This goes to show that collective climate action is still lacking, as the effects of a warming globe become more drastic with each year that passes.
On December 8, 2024, Bashar Al-Assad fled the country and sought asylum in Russia, marking the end of the Syrian Civil War, which started during the Arab Spring. A 13 year-old civil war was brought to an end after 12 days of fighting between the Syrian Army and a coalition of rebel groups.
