Digitalization of rural communities leads way to better future

It wasn't that long ago that internet connectivity faded the moment one left a populated area like a city or big town; “no service” was the take-away message back then.

European security after NATO's Madrid summit

At the end of June, 25 years after Madrid last hosted a NATO summit, the Spanish capital will again be the scene of a new chapter in European security.

Israel's endless occupation

In the 55 years Israel has been occupying Palestinian lands, there have been two intifadas, four wars in Gaza, and a long series of failed efforts to negotiate a two-state solution roughly adhering to Israel's pre-1967 borders. The situation may truly be as hopeless as it seems.
