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 April, we bring you many perspectives from around the world as usual. We have four pieces on the Middle East by an Israeli policymaker from a prominent political family, an American peace activist, an Iranian who holds the 1953 CIA-led coup to be the region’s original sin and an Arab worried about the increasingly destabilizing influence of Iran. We have a former French military intelligence writing about China’s Uighurs, a budding Norwegian historian explaining the historic influence of the Seleucids and our very own chief strategy officer Peter Isackson reflecting on censorship in our time.
We also have the former BBC Africa editor Martin Plaut explain the South African elections and India’s retired foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal warn against a potential nuclear war. In keeping with our tradition of discussion and debate, we publish one Indian’s open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that challenges his narrative while another Indian argues that, contrary to the Western narrative, Muslims are doing splendidly well in the country. There are other interesting pieces, including one co-authored by a reputed Mexican professor and two of Fair Observer’s young editors on neofascism and conspiracy theories that highlights what our supporter Steven Elleman has called “the crucible of collaboration.” To look at the world through many prisms, read our FO° April monthly.
