The day has finally come. We have reached our last passion blog ever. Despite everything that has happened in spring semester, I feel like freshman year really went quickly. So, to end the blogs I thought we would talk about a India and Pakistan. Why you might ask? Well, because of the destructive nature that a […]
The Taliban Deal
On February 29, 2020, the United States and the Taliban signed a deal to end the war in Afghanistan. The deal received some news coverage, but was overshadowed by rise of the pandemic in areas outside of China, like Italy.

The Sahel Region

Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
Across the globe, international tensions have seemingly relaxed in the past week. As such, I have decided to yet again explain a conflict that has been going on for many decades.
