The only sensible foreign policy to Trump should be to refuse to talk to him.
Just ignore him!
I bet he will come creeping on his knees and crying about how discriminated he is.— Anders Åslund (@anders_aslund) Mar 31, 2026
🇪🇺 1.2 million people were granted citizenship in the EU in 2024, according to new data from Eurostat.
Syrians were the largest group of recipients (110,100), followed by Moroccans (97,100).
All of these people now have the full right to work and travel freely across most of Europe, and to vote in national and European elections.

The Catholic Church in France is preparing for a record-breaking 21,386 baptisms during the upcoming Easter Vigil, which is a 20% increase from the previous year.
Data from the French Bishops’ Conference reveals that this surge is driven primarily by young people, with the total comprising 13,234 adults and 8,152 adolescents.
This trend reflects a decade-long tripling of adult converts, many of whom cite a search for spiritual depth in a materialistic world as their primary motivation for joining the faith.

🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).”
“Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said.
South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices.
A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors.
Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%).
That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.
