    ‘People, scale, infectious optimism’: Here’s why India could be the new kid on the AI block.
    From cheap GPU access to soil sensors and real-time translation, New Delhi’s AI summit signals a bid to become the Global South’s AI powerhouse.
    Thousands of world tech leaders, CEOs, and local founders gathered in India’s capital last week to witness the AI narrative shifting South.
    From AI-powered soil sensors for farmers to real-time translation tools that dissolve linguistic barriers for 22 Indian languages, the India AI Impact Summit hosted by New Delhi showcased a live gallery of how a nation can use domestically developed AI solutions to solve everyday problems at a population scale of 1.4 billion people.
    The summit converted New Delhi into a massive ‘neural center’ where world leaders and tech giants, including the CEOs of OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Google, gathered to fill the gap between innovative technology and human development.
    More than just an event, it represents India’s transition from a global back-office to a front-line AI laboratory to develop population-scale solutions for the next billion users.

  • If Day: When Canada staged a Nazi occupation to sell the war.

    If Day: When Canada staged a Nazi occupation to sell the war.

    If Day: When Canada staged a Nazi occupation to sell the war.
    How a simulated German takeover of Winnipeg shocked citizens into buying war bonds during WWII.
    The invasion began in the north.
    Reports came first from Norway House: aircraft approaching in tight formation, flying low over frozen lakes and pine forest, their engines carrying through the winter air. Soon after, word arrived that the Canadian city of Selkirk had fallen. The German war machine, it was said, was moving south – converging on Winnipeg.
    At 6:00 AM on February 18, 1942, air-raid sirens shattered the morning silence.
    Troops moved into position along a defensive line five miles from City Hall. At Fort Osborne Barracks, soldiers assembled in the dark cold. By seven o’clock, the first engagement had begun. Artillery thundered in East Kildonan as attackers reached the perimeter. Anti-aircraft guns barked at fighter planes overhead. The sky echoed with explosions.
    Meanwhile, 3,500 Canadian troops and hastily mobilized volunteers under the command of Colonel E. A. Pridham and Colonel D. S. McKay moved to meet the advancing enemy. Defensive lines were drawn five kilometers from the city center. Anti-aircraft guns opened fire at incoming aircraft. Bridges were blown to slow the advance, their spans strewn with rubble and smoke. It made little difference.

    The youngest nation breaks: Is a new civil war on the horizon?
    Today, the 2018 peace agreement has lost its practical relevance for South Sudan.
    Since the end of 2025, the security situation in South Sudan, the youngest country in Africa, has sharply deteriorated, raising fears of a new civil war. Jonglei State, located near the Ethiopian border, has been particularly hard-hit by violence. The renewed fighting threatens to undermine the 2018 peace agreement between the government and opposition forces.
    Intense clashes have erupted between the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) and the opposition factions of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army-in-Opposition (SPLM/A-IO) across Jonglei State, Upper Nile State, and Unity State, as well as in parts of Equatoria.
    Reports indicate that between December 1, 2025 and January 23, 2026, at least 200 people lost their lives due to the conflict in Jonglei State, including over 40 civilians. The United Nations reports that around 280,000 people have been displaced in Jonglei State alone due to the resurgence of hostilities and airstrikes that began on December 29, 2025. This mass displacement has put more than 450,000 children at risk of acute malnutrition.
