THE GLOBAL VIEW
Across the conflicts
Topics are matched automatically from feed titles and descriptions. Reporting, analysis and opinion may appear together; open the source for its framing and evidence.
SEE THE GAPS, TOO
The conflict watchlist.
Counts below cover the last 30 days available from these feeds. Select an area to read its headlines.
How the watchlist is framed
These references use different definitions and scopes. The watchlist also retains regional insurgency topics from the existing archive; inclusion does not certify that a war is currently active.
KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM
Sources, dates & availability.
One publisher can supply several regional or topic feeds. We retain headline links, not full articles. A successful fetch can still contain old reporting; both times are shown below.
If a feed fails, its last usable headlines remain visible with a cached label until they leave the 30-day window. A saved edition is clearly marked when the live reader is unavailable.
A PROJECT WE SUPPORT
The world is connected.
The news should be, too.
