Bab el-Mandeb crisis: New geopolitical flashpoint in West Asia
SUMMARY
# Bab el-Mandeb Crisis: Geopolitical Flashpoint
Yemen's Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have attacked commercial ships in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait since late 2023, targeting vessels linked to Israel amid the Gaza war. This narrow chokepoint connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, handling ~12% of global trade. The US and UK launched strikes against Houthi positions in Yemen in response. Shipping disruptions forced major companies to reroute via Africa's Cape of Good Hope, raising costs and delivery times significantly. The crisis highlights Iran's proxy strategy, threatening energy supplies and global supply chains, while escalating tensions between Western powers and the Iran-aligned axis across West Asia.

India’s NGOs at a new funding crossroads
SUMMARY
India's NGOs face a critical funding shift as government tightens FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act) regulations, restricting foreign donations. Thousands of NGOs lost FCRA licenses, limiting access to international funds. The government aims to increase transparency and curb misuse, but critics argue it stifles civil society and dissent. NGOs now pivot toward domestic fundraising, CSR funds, and crowdfunding. Smaller grassroots organizations struggle most, impacting healthcare, education, and human rights work across India.
