What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Four years since Taliban forces seized Kabul and ended two decades of Western presence, Afghan women face near-total exclusion from public life. Nearly 100 edicts have stripped them of basic freedoms, while any dissent remains dangerous and international pressure has waned.

I despise religion from the depth of my heart. And this bucket of shit doesn't make it less. These dumb backwards savages of yesteryear are so afraid of women, it would even be funny if it weren't so horribly sad. I will never understand the appeal of having (sex-)slaves. You can only ever sleep with one eye open, never talk honest opinions eye2eye and never trust a word they say. So what's the point? Someone for fucking, cooking and cleaning?

Religion is poison and poisons everything it touches.

It truly is. And it touches a lot. Especially kids. And yes, there were at least two cynical layers to this reply.
