A major tragedy struck eastern Democratic Republic of Congo after a coltan mine collapsed in the Rubaya area, killing more than 200 people. The accident happened after heavy rainfall weakened the soil and caused large sections of the mine to cave in. Many of the victims were artisanal miners who were working inside the pit at the time of the collapse. Local authorities said the mine was operating in a fragile area where safety standards are often poor. When the ground gave way, workers were buried under mud and debris. Rescue teams and local volunteers rushed to the site to…

The United States government entered a partial shutdown early on January 31, 2026, after Congress failed to approve the federal budget before the midnight funding deadline. Lawmakers in both the Senate and the House of Representatives were working to pass spending bills, but disagreements over key issues prevented a final deal from being completed on time. In the final hours before the deadline, the Senate passed a funding package that included a short extension for the Department of Homeland Security. This was meant to give lawmakers more time to settle debates linked to immigration and border enforcement policies. However, the…

By: Hiren Gandhi ગત કેટલાક વર્ષોમાં વૈશ્વિક નાણાકીય વ્યવસ્થામાં એક શાંત, પરંતુ મહત્વપૂર્ણ ફેરફાર જોવા મળ્યો છે. ભારત, ચીન અને બ્રાઝીલ જેવા મોટા અર્થતંત્રોએ ધીમે ધીમે અમેરિકન ડોલર પરની નિર્ભરતા ઘટાડી છે. આ પ્રક્રિયાને ડી-ડોલરાઇઝેશન તરીકે ઓળખવામાં આવે છે, જે અચાનક કે વિવાદસભર નથી, પરંતુ વિચારી-સમજાવી અને વ્યૂહાત્મક રીતે અમલમાં લાવવામાં આવી રહી છે. અત્યારે, અમેરિકન ટ્રેઝરી બોન્ડની સલામતી વિશેના લાંબા સમયના વિશ્વાસ પર પ્રશ્નો ઉભા થયા છે. વૈશ્વિક બેંકો ટ્રેઝરી બોન્ડને રિઝર્વ માટે વિશ્વસનીય, લિક્વિડ અને ગીરો માટે સુરક્ષિત માનતી હતી. જોકે, અમેરિકન સરકારના દેવામાં ઝડપી વધારો, વ્યાજ દરોમાં અસ્થિરતા, બોન્ડના ભાવમાં ઘટાડો અને નાણાકીય સિસ્ટમનો ભૂ-રાજકીય હથિયાર તરીકે…

By: Hiren Gandhi In recent years, several major economies have quietly begun reducing their dependence on the U.S. dollar, signalling a gradual shift in the global financial landscape. Countries such as India, China, and Brazil are not abandoning the dollar entirely but are diversifying their economic exposure to mitigate risk in an increasingly uncertain world. For decades, U.S. Treasury bonds were considered the safest asset globally, providing central banks with stability, liquidity, and collateral security. However, structural concerns including rapidly growing U.S. government debt, volatile interest-rate cycles, falling bond prices, and the use of financial systems and sanctions as geopolitical…

By: Hiren Gandhi નવી દિલ્હી / વોશિંગ્ટન, 29 જાન્યુઆરી 2026: વિશ્વના રાજકીય વિશ્લેષકોનું માનવું છે કે અમેરિકાના અતિ આક્રમક વર્તન પાછળ આંતરિક આર્થિક દબાણ મુખ્ય કારણ છે. દેશ પર સરકારી દેવું લગભગ 38 ટ્રિલિયન ડોલર પહોંચ્યું છે, જેના કારણે આર્થિક અને રાજકીય નિર્ણયો વૈશ્વિક સ્તરે અસરકારક બની રહ્યા છે. વિશ્લેષકો અનુસાર મહાસત્તાઓ આર્થિક દબાણ હેઠળ આવે ત્યારે પોતાને મજબૂત બતાવવા માટે બાહ્ય સ્તરે આક્રમક નીતિઓ અપનાવે છે. પૂર્વ રાષ્ટ્રપતિ ડોનાલ્ડ ટ્રમ્પની “America First” નીતિ આ દૃષ્ટિકોણથી જોઇ શકાય છે, જેમાં અમેરિકામાં મૂડી, નોકરીઓ અને નિયંત્રણ જાળવવાનો પ્રયત્ન જોવા મળ્યો છે. ટ્રમ્પ સમયગાળા દરમિયાન અમલમાં આવેલા વિવિધ પગલાં જેમ કે Trump…

By: Hiren Gandhi A growing body of geopolitical analysts believe that the United States’ increasingly assertive foreign and economic policies reflect deeper internal economic pressures rather than pure strategic confidence. With government debt nearing USD 38 trillion, America faces mounting fiscal challenges that are shaping political decisions and global diplomacy. Observers note that when major powers come under economic strain, they often project strength externally to maintain domestic confidence. Former US President Donald Trump’s policy framework is widely seen through this lens, particularly his “America First” approach, which emphasised economic nationalism, border control and trade protection. Rising Debt Puts Pressure…

नई दिल्ली: करीब दो दशकों की लंबी बातचीत के बाद भारत और यूरोपीय संघ ने ऐतिहासिक मुक्त व्यापार समझौते पर सहमति बना ली है। इस समझौते को दोनों पक्षों के आर्थिक संबंधों में एक महत्वपूर्ण मोड़ माना जा रहा है। विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि यह करार वैश्विक व्यापार संतुलन को भी नई दिशा दे सकता है। भारत-यूरोप मुक्त व्यापार समझौता दुनिया की दो बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्थाओं को जोड़ता है, जिनकी संयुक्त हिस्सेदारी वैश्विक सकल घरेलू उत्पाद के लगभग एक चौथाई के बराबर है। इस समझौते के तहत दोनों क्षेत्रों के बीच व्यापार को आसान बनाने के लिए शुल्क में कटौती…

A severe winter storm has swept across the United States, claiming at least 30 lives and leaving over 560,000 homes without electricity.
