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.


This month has been a chaotic one. Hamas launched the biggest terrorist attack in history on Israeli soil and war has broken out in the Middle East yet again. Gary Grappo, the former chair of Fair Observer and a retired US ambassador who served for decades in the region, helps make sense of the conflict and its international impact in two separate pieces. Vietnam War veteran with three decades of humanitarian aid experience David Holdridge shares a personal reflection on Gaza, and Indian author Nafees Ahmad discusses how the US can push for peace there.

As the Middle East is on the boil, Canada and India are also having a row. Kanwal Sibal, India’s former top diplomat, and Vikram Sood, who headed India’s external intelligence agency, present a robust Indian point of view. Glenn Carle, a retired CIA officer, goes on to analyze the implications of a rising India. Daniel Martinek and Peter Techet discuss democratic backsliding in Slovakia, and Timur Nersesov decries ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. Catalan academic and author Josep M. Colomer who now teaches at Georgetown University explains why the US Congress has become so divided.

In a nutshell, we shine the light through multiple lenses to help you make sense of a confusing world.
