World in Brief

/ connect the dots
  1. Europe weighs new conditions on arms exports — Brussels

  2. Gulf states recalibrate defense pacts — Riyadh / Abu Dhabi
    Why it matters: arms flows and alignment shift together; SIPRI data shows the pattern before the headlines do.
  3. Sahel realignment reshuffles Western troop access — West Africa
    Why it matters: an underreported region where basing and mineral access quietly change hands.
  4. Multilateral votes signal a widening split — UN
    Why it matters: the tally is public and reproducible — we track who moved and who abstained.
