Two men were sentenced to life imprisonment for plotting to massacre Jews in Manchester, while in Mexico, disappearances have surged by 200% over the past decade, and in Canada, a community rallies after a school shooting. These events, reported by various news outlets, highlight a range of crises and tragedies unfolding across the globe.
According to The Guardian, Walid Saadaoui and Amar Hussein were sentenced after attempting to carry out a terrorist attack. Saadaoui, who once worked as a holiday entertainer, had pledged allegiance to Islamic State. The plot was foiled by an undercover sting.
Also reported by The Guardian, Mexico is grappling with a significant increase in disappearances. More than 130,000 people are considered missing or disappeared, with the number surging by 200% over the past ten years. One example cited was the disappearance of Ángel Montenegro, a construction worker, in August 2022.
In Tumbler Ridge, Canada, the community is reeling from a school shooting. The Guardian reported that the tragedy prompted a wave of support from neighboring communities and across the country. Jim Caruso, who traveled 700 miles to be there, stated, "I wanted to be here to bring some level of comfort. I wanted to hug people, pray for them and, most importantly, to cry with them."
Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported on the political situation in the West Bank. The Israeli government approved a plan to designate large areas of the occupied West Bank as state property, shifting the burden of proof to Palestinians to establish ownership of their land. This decision, according to Al Jazeera, undermines the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. The outlet also reported on the annexation of land, stating that the notion of Jordan becoming the Palestinian state, once dismissed, is now becoming an operational reality.
