Updates on Sudan, Venezuela & Iran: Global News Catch-Up

from Global Politics with Leo

In this episode, I break down what’s happening in Sudan & latest news - starting with the historical context you need to understand how the country ended up in the middle of a devastating civil war. I’ll walk you through how the military went from removing a dictator to turning on itself, and how foreign powers like Russia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan are all playing a role in keeping the conflict alive. Then I get into the latest from Venezuela, where opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado is set to meet with President Trump. I’ll explain why her meeting matters, what’s happening with Venezuela’s oil industry, and why major investors are calling the country “uninvestable.” Finally, I give a quick update on Iran, where protesters are being killed, the internet has been shut down for over 100 hours. You might know me from my social media content and Substack as Leo Explains. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
