Blinken flies to Europe as fears increase of an imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine

19 January 2022
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Kiev for talks with the Ukrainian leadership as fears increase of an imminent Russian invasion. In Brussels, European Union officials are bracing themselves for the biggest crisis on the European continent since the war in Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.

Houthis attack on Abu Dhabi airport is a dangerous escalation

18 January 2022
There has been widespread international condemnation of a drone attack on Abu Dhabi International Airport.

The attack on the airport of the UAE capital is seen as a serious escalation of the ongoing conflict in Yemen where a regional coalition including Saudi Arabia and the UAE is assisting the internationally recognised government of Yemen in its efforts to regain control of the country from the Houthi movement which seized the capital and large swats of the country in 2015.
