2026 Predictions, Myanmar & Guinea Elections Explained and Iran Crisis

Start 2026 with a deep dive into the biggest global politics stories shaping the year. In this episode, I break down the latest news and political developments in Myanmar and Guinea, where overwhelming election “victories” raise serious questions about authoritarian control. We also look at Iran’s economic crisis, mass protests, collapsing currency and growing instability. You’ll also get a clear and factual news analysis around Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, and competing narratives. Then we move into political analysis and predictions for 2026, from Ukraine and Russia to the Middle East, Yemen, Sudan, Somaliland, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and growing tensions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Finally, we get to the rise of Gen Z–led protest movements across the world.
