Hostilities in northeast Syria
Clashes between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkish-backed rebels continued in northeast Syria on Wednesday, killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens more. The fighting erupted after Turkey launched an offensive against the SDF, a Kurdish-led militia that controls much of the region. The offensive has displaced tens of thousands of people and raised fears of a humanitarian crisis.
Response plan in Mali
The United Nations on Wednesday launched a $1.7 billion response plan to address the humanitarian crisis in Mali. The plan aims to provide food, water, shelter, and other essential services to 5.1 million people who are in need of assistance. The crisis in Mali has been caused by a combination of factors, including conflict, drought, and poverty.
Uyghur deportations in Thailand
Thailand on Wednesday deported 109 Uyghur Muslims to China, despite pleas from human rights groups to allow them to stay in the country. The Uyghurs are a Muslim minority group from Xinjiang province in China, where they have been subjected to severe repression by the Chinese government. The deportations have been condemned by the United States and other countries.
