Description

Fair Observer Monthly is a chance for you to sit down, look back and think about the month past. A month lasts 28 to 31 days, a suitably appropriate time to take stock of the world. We publish daily on our website and we select some of our best articles every month in our e-magazine. We will give you context and multiple perspectives on issues that matter. We will inform and educate you. Fair Observer Monthly does what we promise: make sense of the world.


In December, we take a close look at conflict. In separate pieces, Vijay K. Sazawal and Wali Muhammad discuss Islamist extremist violence in Pakistan and Kashmir. Martin Plaut explains the civil war currently unfolding in Sudan. Tiina Kaukvere and Marian Männi document how refugees in Moldova are trying to get through the Russia–Ukraine war.

In September, Azerbaijan defeated ethnic Armenian forces in Nagorno-Karabakh. Atul Singh and Anton Schauble explain the long history that led up to the conflict. Ramil Gurbanov gives the Azerbaijani side of the story.

If armed strife is all too common, so too is political strife. Nafees Ahmad explains British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s legal tangles on immigration policy. Atul Singh gives his perspective on a financial scandal that has tarnished the Japanese ruling party’s reputation. And young author India Nye Wenner tells us how her generation is — literally — fighting for air.
