The Republic of Korea’s (ROK) former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun reportedly attempted suicide while in detention following last week’s brief imposition of martial law. As the case against him unfolds, a growing number of controversies have come to light.
Kim, recently arrested on insurrection charges, is accused of influencing President Yoon Suk Yeol’s decision to declare martial law. Allegations suggest he sought to justify the imposition of martial law by provoking war with the DPRK just days before.
Opposition lawmakers are citing a whistleblower to claim that the ROK military, under Kim’s orders, already sent unmanned drones to Pyongyang in October. The DPRK previously attributed the action to Seoul, which the ROK military denied.
A former classmate disclosed that Kim had a history of frequently reading Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” raising questions about his ideological influences.

Evo Morales has reported another assassination attempt against him. This time an attempted poisoning, he claims. Copper Oxychloride was found scattered in his bedroom in Shinahota, Cochabamba. When ingested, the substance is toxic for humans.
This comes after his car was shot at over a month ago in the same area in a police operation in the context of the internal faction fight within the MAS party. The government has denied any allegations of involvement in any assasination attempts.
Morales is currently locked in a legal battle to stand as a candidate in next years presidential elections. President Luis Arce is pressuring the courts and the electoral authroities to block Evo’s candidacy in order to stand himself. The once powerful party is now totally divided.

Kenyan police violently cracked down on anti-femicide protests in Nairobi. The neoliberal government of William Ruto continued its legacy of deadly repression by firing tear gas. In the summer of 2024, Ruto crushed anti-IMF protests and killed at least 65 people.
Feminist protests began on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. They intensified recently after police published figures showing a sharp rise in femicides in the country. Between August and October 2024, 97 women were killed, mostly at the hands of male partners.

The moment Assad fell Germany’s far-right "Alternative for Germany" (AfD) wasted no time dreaming up mass deportations for the 900,000 Syrians living in the country. But this opportunistic ploy isn’t just an AfD fantasy—Germany’s largest party, the "Christian Democratic Union," seems all too eager to echo the sentiment.

🟡 Syria Update — Day 15:
🟡 Independent UN experts have decried Israel’s targeted aerial strikes on Syria as blatantly unlawful, with their clear attempt at preemptively disarming Syria in order to render it defenseless against further acts of aggression. George Katrougalos, UN special rapporteur on the promotion of democratic and equitable international order, described the strikes as “attacks without provocation against a sovereign state.”
🟡 The de-facto authorities in Damascus have reportedly set in motion a campaign to confiscate firearms from civilians. Critics say this move could help entrench HTS rule and root out the possibility of any major opposition. Others point to the ruling being issued in light of weapons being looted from numerous storage facilities.
🟡 Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian Parliament, has commented on Assad’s toppling, saying that the event did cause disruption to the Axis of Resistance, but that the Axis will adapt to the new circumstances and come out stronger.
🟡 The Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party, which up until Sunday December 8 had ruled Syria continuously since 1963, has decided to disband all activities in the country, marking the end for the Ba’ath Party in Syria.
🟡 The tomb of Syria’s late President Hafez Al-Assad, father of the deposed President Bashar Al-Assad, has been burned down by rebel fighters in Damascus.
🟡 Religious and ethnic minorities in Syria continue to face uncertainty about their safety in the country. Armed rebel gunmen reportedly entered the shrine of Sayyeda Zeinab in Damascus, which holds significance for Shiite Muslims worldwide.
🟡 The Pentagon will maintain its 900-strong troop contingency in Syria under the pretext that ISIS could possibly grow stronger and exploit the power vacuum in the country.
🟡 Commander-in-Chief of the Kurdish-led and US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazloum Abdî, stated that his troops have been forced to pause anti-ISIS operations due to the persistent threat from Turkish-backed SNA forces. Commander Abdî further noted that they have already seen ISIS exploiting the new power vacuum to grow stronger.
🟡 The Turkish Air Force struck the public security headquarters of the Syrian Democratic Forces in the city of Raqqa in eastern Syria. Experts noted that it is highly unusual for Turkey to strike this deep inside Syrian territory.
As the national crisis triggered by last week’s short-lived declaration of martial law in the Republic of Korea (ROK) continues to unfold, many Koreans are left reminded by the ROK’s dark history of martial law. Read on.

Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) forces have successfully seized control of the strategic city of Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria. This development comes in the wake of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) retreating to the eastern bank of the Euphrates River following a series of defections from the SDF’s Deir Ezzor Military Council to HTS-aligned forces.
HTS commander Hassan Abdul-Ghani confirmed that their forces continue pushing forward in the rural areas of Deir Ezzor Governorate, consolidating their control and expanding their influence.
The SDF’s control of Deir Ezzor was short-lived, lasting only a few days after they replaced former Syrian government forces last Friday. HTS fighters have announced plans for a thorough sweep of the city’s neighborhoods while also signaling their intentions to advance toward the key cities of Raqqa and Hasakah.

🟡 Syria update - Day 14:
🟡 In a newly released statement, Hezbollah expressed concerns over Israeli ambitions in Syria and the broader region. The group emphasized that the lack of a unified response from Arab and Islamic communities has emboldened Israel’s actions. Hezbollah called for concerted efforts and proactive measures to prevent Israel from realizing its objectives.
🟡 Video footage privately recorded by rebel forces document the continuation of sectarian-based summary executions, particularly in the Alawite-majority Lattakia governorate. Video-documented sectarian killings have also taken place in Kurdish-majority areas at the hands of the Turkish-backed SNA, and in Homs by the Maghawir Al-Sham faction.
🟡 In new videos released to social media, Kurdish-led SDF forces appear to have secured at least 4 functional 2K12 “Kub” anti-air missile systems from a Syrian Army base in Deir ez-Zor. Israeli airstrikes have knocked out an estimated 70–80% of Syria’s strategic weapon capabilities.
🟡 Footage released to social media reveals for the first time the presence of Syrian rebel forces in Sudan, fighting alongside the UAE-backed RSF. The presence of Syrian opposition militiamen embroiled in Sudan appears to be a new revelation.
🟡 Twelve paratroopers from the 25th Special Mission Forces Division of the now-defunct Syrian Arab Army, initially deployed to West Aleppo on November 27, have reportedly declared their refusal to surrender to the de-facto authorities in Damascus.
🟡 The de-facto Syrian Salvation Government in Damascus has reportedly declared its intentions to reorient Syria’s state-controlled economy to a free market model in a move meant to attract foreign investment.
🟡 Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei claims that the expeditious overthrow of the Syrian government by rebel forces was coordinated by the US and Israel, and that Iran maintains proof of such.
🟡 The Syrian Salvation Government has appointed Mohammed al-Bashir to serve in the capacity as caretaker prime minister during a transitional phase that will last until March 1, 2025.
🟡 The General Commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazloum Abdî, announced a US-mediated ceasefire agreement with Syrian rebel forces. Under the agreement, SDF fighters will withdraw from the disputed city of Manbij as soon as possible.
Shocking videos on social media show anti-Assad forces in Syria brutally abusing and killing ethnic and religious minorities. Some perpetrators are seen wearing ISIS patches, raising concerns about ISIS’ resurgence amid the power vacuum left by the collapse of Assad’s government.

🟡 BREAKING: The iconic northern Syrian city of Kobani and its countryside, held by the Kurdish-led and US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), are witnessing intense shelling from the Turkish military as the Syrian National Army (SNA) is said to be advancing toward the city.

🟡 NEW: Turkish military convoys have entered the Turkish-occupied city of Jarabulus in northern Syria, likely advancing toward the city of Manbij.
Recently, Turkish-backed militias from the Syrian National Army (SNA) seized complete control of Manbij after days of fierce clashes with the Kurdish-led and US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Manbij holds immense strategic importance. It is one of the few primary road links connecting northeast Syria to Türkiye. The city is a vital infrastructure hub, housing key water and energy resources.
A Turkish military foothold in Manbij could significantly undermine the SDF. The latest SNA campaign has already forced the SDF out of all territory west of the Euphrates River. The Turkish military has occupied an 8,835-square-kilometer area in northern Syria since 2016.
Türkiye has declared that its objective is to dismantle the Kurdish-led autonomous administration in northeast Syria and destroy its armed forces, the SDF.
For the first time in months, 109 aid trucks arrived to UNRWA warehouses west of Khan Younis. The trucks were secured and escorted by police to protect aid from being looted. Palestinians are desperate as Israel’s siege and genocidal war has left them on the brink of famine.
Aid looting has been a persistent problem with gangs linked to the Israeli forces looting aid trucks and reselling it in Gaza’s markets. A recent operation by Gaza police against the gangs resulted in the death of 20 gang members.
Despite Israeli claims of destroying and dismantling Hamas, Hamas continues to resist the occupation while simultaneously governing over Gaza.

🇹🇩🇫🇷 BREAKING: France’s military has begun its withdrawal from Chad, marking another blow to French interests in Africa. Until now, around 1,000 French troops were stationed in the country.
This marks the end of France’s decades-long military project in the Sahel. Earlier, Paris pulled its forces from its former colonies of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
“It is time for Chad to assert its full sovereignty and to redefine its strategic partnerships according to national priorities,” declared Chad’s Foreign Minister, Abderaman Koulamallah, on November 28.
France justifies its presence in Africa as needed to “fight extremism.” But conflicts with armed groups in the Sahel have only worsened, fueling skepticism about France’s true motives and deepening mistrust of the former colonial power.
The strategically significant northern Syrian city of Manbij has come under full control of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA), a senior official from the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) confirmed this morning. The city endured several days of intense clashes, with the SNA benefiting from Türkiye’s aerial support during the offensive.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the “liberation” of Manbij from the Kurdish-led SDF on Monday, asserting that Ankara “has no eye on the territory of another country.” “The sole purpose of our cross-border operations is to protect our homeland and our citizens from terrorist attacks,” he added.
Kurdish forces initially captured Manbij from the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2016 and successfully defended it against multiple offensives by Turkish-backed forces over the years. However, the recent SNA campaign has driven the SDF out of all territory west of the Euphrates River, marking a significant territorial shift in northern Syria.

This morning, the Israeli army reached the city of Qatana, which is located about 20 kilometers from Damascus. Israel continues to advance into Syrian territory to expand the so-called “buffer zone” between Syria and Israel. In reality, Israel is expanding its colonial ambitions, fulfilling what Netanyahu has referred to as "Greater Israel."
Israeli attacks on the integrity of Syrian territory are also being carried out by air. During the past night, Israel claimed to have conducted its biggest air operation in history against Syria, targeting ports, airbases, military and defense systems, and government structures.
