In Sudan, amidst enduring civil conflict, desperation has driven people to consume dirt for sustenance as the nation teeters on the brink of famine.
Why does Sudan's civil strife persist despite over a year passing since its outbreak? Why has resolution remained elusive?

US Campus Protest: Biden Wants To Woo Woke Students; Will They Force His Hand On Israel? | Geeta's World, Ep 88
The anti-Israel protests, originating at Columbia University in the US, are gaining momentum globally on university campuses. The police have intervened violently, with videos emerging from different states showing hundreds of students – and even faculty members – being forcefully arrested.
Despite the harsh response, the students' resolve remains unshaken. They continue to pitch tents and stand their ground. So, why are students persisting, and what are their demands?
Large student movements have influenced public opinion and policy throughout American history, like the Anti-Apartheid Movement in the 1980s. So, can these protests spark a significant foreign policy shift in the country?

Pro-China Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu's People's National Congress party has secured a two-thirds majority in the Majlis. With this absolute parliamentary dominance, what previously obstructed policies can the current government push through?
But is Muizzu's win really a vote against India, given his vocal support for it, or are there other factors that played out?
And why did the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) lose so badly? How did Maldivians lose trust in the MDP?

Gwadar Port: Nehru’s Strategic Blunder? More Like Incredible Foresight! | Geeta's World, Ep 86
After the Katchatheevu Island controversy, now Gwadar Port, in Pakistan's Balochistan province, has become a focal point in India's upcoming general elections. The BJP has accused the then PM Jawaharlal nehru of rejecting the Gwadar port , which the Sultan of Oman had apparently offered to India in 1956.
If it's true, what would have happened if Nehru hadn't rejected the offer? What could have changed?
Despite security challenges and unrest in Balochistan, China remains invested in Pakistan's BRI. What's the incentive for China to continue in Pakistan?

Why Bangladesh's 'India Out' campaign won't hold ground? | Geeta's World, Ep 85
Following the "India Out" campaign in the Maldives, a similar movement has emerged in Bangladesh, spearheaded by the Bangladeshi diaspora and opposition factions. These factions are advocating for the boycott of Indian products.
Despite originating after the January elections, why did this anti-India movement gain traction only recently? Was it because the Awami League government initially didn't appear overly concerned about this campaign?
Given that the BNP is not in power in Bangladesh, what are the prospects for the sustainability of this campaign? And should India be wary of this and make attempts to salvage the situation?
