The South Caucasus has a habit of turning logistics into politics. A single sentence, uttered in Davos, was enough to reignite familiar fears in Tbilisi: would Georgia be pushed aside if Armenia and Azerbaijan began sending freight directly through each other’s territory? For some Georgian commentators, the answer was instant and dramatic. Georgia, they warned, was about to lose its transit crown; the Middle Corridor would be hollowed out; the country would find itself bypassed, marginalised and geopolitically stranded.
The post New routes, old anxieties: Why Georgia’s Middle Corridor remains central first appeared on The South Caucasus News – SouthCaucasusNews.com.

MORE | Government-SDF Conflict: Pro-government Syrian media reported that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Syrian government reached a new “understanding” on January 27 to deploy Interior Ministry forces to Hasakah Province, which would be a tangible step towards the civil integration of the province into the Syrian state. CTP-ISW continues to assess that the SDF’s leadership may fracture over a decision to agree to Shara’s terms for the SDF to integrate into the Syrian state, which would risk instigating serious conflict between government forces and Kurdish fighters.
Political Subversion of the SDF: The Syrian government is currently politically undermining hardline SDF and YPG positions by introducing limited Kurdish rights and conducting outreach to Kurdish notables, which is likely designed to politically subvert the SDF and YPG to prevent future military resistance. Shara has used similar strategies of political subversion to prevent possible adversaries from resisting him militarily. Shara outreach to Kurdish notables from northern Syria also likely aims prevent or mitigate widespread resistance by the SDF and YPG against government forces.
Syrian IDP Camp Security: The Syrian government is experiencing some initial challenges in managing al Hol internally displaced persons camp (IDP), partially due to undisciplined and ineffective Defense Ministry units and insufficient training to control the camp. These challenges can be remedied in time, and the Syrian government appears to be learning from some mistakes and correcting its procedures accordingly. The chaotic and uncoordinated nature of the Syrian government takeover of northeastern Syria, coupled with the SDF collapse, has almost certainly forced the Interior Ministry to relearn lessons about guarding these facilities that the United States and its SDF partners have previously learned.Institute for the Study of War (@TheStudyofWar)MORE: The Iranian regime’s ongoing securitization measures, which include a costly and prolonged internet shutdown, are accelerating Iran’s economic collapse. The country’s economic collapse was the initial trigger for these demonstrations in late December 2025.
The crackdown’s economic consequences have struck individual Iranians and businesses alike. The Iranian rial again fell to an all-time low on January 27 (see graphic below), and the price of basic goods has increased 60 percent since mid-December. The internet shutdown costs the regime about $37 million USD daily. Iranian online businesses, which are a major part of Iran’s digital economy and generate $1 billion USD annually, have incurred at least $2 million USD in losses daily during the shutdown.
The shutdown has lasted 20 days and is the third-longest internet shutdown globally in history, according to regional media. The regime has made only isolated efforts to compensate businesses, such as by announcing an eight-stage compensation plan for online businesses on January 27. It is unclear how the government intends to pay for this or future compensation packages, given that the regime is already struggling to generate government revenue.
The regime’s challenges in generating revenue have also contributed to protester grievances, as they have forced the regime to raise taxes. The regime’s response prioritizes securitization over addressing root economic causes, which makes future protests more likely.— https://x.com/TheStudyofWar/status/2016354028347646314
