A government delegation also arrived there - with a large motorcade of US made luxury vehicles - which fuelled the anger of the protesters further.

Situation on Aleppo, Raqqa & Hasakah [2/2/2026]: On 30... January, a definitive ceasefire was agreed following an agreement reached between the Syrian Transitional Government & the Syrian Democratic Forces for the gradual political and military integration of the SDF. Among the points agreed upon, it is worth noting the limited deployment of MOI forces on the "line of separation" between the SDF/YPG and the STG, which have withdrawn from much of the front line. There will also be a limited deployment of the MOI in the cities of Qamishli, Hasakah and Kobani, as well as at the Sweidiyeh oil wells and border posts. In exchange, the SDF will create four positions that will be incorporated into the Damascus military apparatus, both directly and indirectly, as well as decision-making powers for the SDF in the governorate of Hasakah, which could be considered a form of autonomy alongside the rights promised to the Kurds two weeks ago.

Large-scale protests have been continuing in Iran for five... days now. They were triggered by a sharp collapse of the national currency and a rapid surge in prices. Inflation has reached around 40%, while food prices have risen by 60-70%. The rial at one point fell to 1.4 million per US dollar. This led to demonstrations which, in several provinces, escalated into violent clashes with security forces. According to human rights groups and media reports, at least six people have been killed, dozens wounded, and more than a hundred protesters detained. There are also reports of casualties among security forces, including members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Basij militia. Amid the protests, demonstrators are burning symbols of the regime, including monuments to General Qasem Soleimani, who was killed by the United States on January 3, 2020. Authorities have introduced heightened security measures and effectively imposed martial law in certain cities. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel have expressed support for the protesters, saying the unrest reflects the accumulated anger of Iranian society over the ayatollahs’ regime’s failed economic policies.show more

Deadly protests against the Ayatollah regime in Iran have... entered their fifth day. At least eight people have been killed, and students have now joined the demonstrations. The unrest began with shopkeepers closing hundreds of stores across Tehran and other major cities. As students joined, the protests shifted from purely economic grievances to political demands, with slogans such as “Death to the dictator.” Several of the country’s most prestigious universities in Tehran and Isfahan have been closed. Clashes continue at Tehran University, where students are confronting security forces at the main campus gates. The government, led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has responded with water cannons, tear gas, and lethal force. According to human rights group Hengaw, at least eight people have died. Three, including a 15-year-old, were killed on the evening of January 1 in Azna when security forces opened fire on protesters. Another 17 were injured. The protests began on December 28, when shopkeepers in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Mashhad took to the streets after the national currency collapsed to a record low of about 1.4 million rials per US dollar, driving food prices up roughly 60%. The economic strain is further worsened by ongoing sanctions and Iran’s prolonged conflict with Israel.show more

In 2024, Russia faced a 13-year record jump in... gas prices after a series of Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries that caused fuel production to collapse by more than 10% in the first half of the year. According to Rosstat, from the beginning of the year to December 23, gasoline prices rose by 11% on average in Russia. At the same time, prices in remote regions of the Far East exceeded the Russian average by a quarter. By the end of the year, gasoline price growth will be the strongest since 2011. For the first time in 6 years, gasoline prices have risen significantly above the headline inflation rate, which the Russian ministry of economic development estimates at 9.7% a week before the end of the year. This year, the Russian government tried to curb gasoline prices by banning its exports: the restrictions were imposed shortly after two dozen major Russian refineries were attacked by Ukrainian UAVs and a number of them were forced to halt production. By the end of May, the decline in gasoline production in Russia reached 20% compared to December 2023, and diesel fuel - 11%. In response, the authorities classified fuel output statistics, citing geopolitics and the threat of market manipulation as reasons. In 2025, gasoline will continue to rise in price in Russia. In the best-case scenario, it will rise by 10-15%, and in the worst case - 20%, which, according to Rosstat, has not happened in Russia since 2004 (when the cost of fuel jumped by a record 31.3%). The reason will be an increase in Transneft's pipeline pumping tariffs, as well as a sharp increase in excise taxes: they will rise 14% for gasoline and 16% for diesel fuel, which is three times more than was provided for in the Tax Code (4.7%). According to government calculations, this will bring 170 billion rubles ($1,6 billion) to the treasury, of which 116 billion ($1,13 billion) will be due to the unscheduled increase. Rising gasoline prices will automatically lead to higher prices for everything else in Russia, as the cost of fuel is included in the delivery of all goods and automatically increases the cost of the end product for the buyer. Inflation in Russia will also increase.show more
