After being captured and detained back in February following the military takeover, deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi failed to appear in court today.

The Burmese politician’s lawyers stated she unable to attend a scheduled court hearing for health reasons, describing her condition as “dizziness caused by motion sickness”.

Reports state that the former Myanmar leader did not have the COVID-19 but felt sick having not traveled in a vehicle “for a long time”.

Myanmar’s National Unity Government which is formed by the opposition of military rule, has conformed a strategy to oppose the junta

The military, which took over control of the country in February has been under pressure to end its rule.

Myanmar’s National Unity Government, formed by opponents of military rule, unveiled the new concept that is aimed at targeting and pressuring the junta, including through action by militias and ethnic forces and urging bureaucrats to leave government posts.

The acting president of the National Unity Government, Duwa Lashi La, confirmed in a speech outlining the organisations plans that the shadow government, which is made up of members in exile or in hiding, was declaring a state of emergency.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
