Global Tensions Rise: War, Protests, and Diplomatic Moves

Canada and France opened consulates in Greenland on Friday, signaling support for Denmark and the Arctic island after previous US interest in the territory, according to The Guardian. The move comes amid heightened tensions following a US official's claims that China conducted clandestine nuclear tests, as reported by Al Jazeera, and as the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan became an outlet for expressions of anger, according to Sky News.

The establishment of diplomatic outposts in Nuuk by Canada and France was a direct response to US efforts to secure control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory, The Guardian reported. This followed former US President Donald Trump's discussions about a potential US takeover of Greenland.

Meanwhile, an international monitor stated it had found no evidence to support the US claim that China had conducted nuclear tests in 2020, Al Jazeera reported. US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Thomas DiNanno made the accusations at a United Nations disarmament conference in Geneva.

The Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan also saw expressions of discontent. Jeers were directed at the Israeli delegation and US Vice President JD Vance, Sky News reported. Despite pleas for respect from International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Kirsty Coventry, the ceremony became a venue for expressing rage.

In other news, Bangladesh was preparing for its first election since the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2024, Al Jazeera reported. Approximately 127 million registered voters were eligible to cast their votes to elect 350 members of the Jatiya Sangsad, the country's parliament, on February 12. The country had been under a caretaker government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus since then.

In Gaza, the ongoing war had decimated infrastructure, making daily life difficult, according to Al Jazeera. A university professor, Hassan El-Nabih, was forced to use his bicycle to find electricity and internet access to teach his students online.
