After decades of colonisation, exploitation and resource extraction, African countries want an apology and a pay cheque. Members of the 55-member African Union bloc are meeting in Addis Ababa to try to consolidate a position on reparatory justice. Currently there are armed conflicts in more than 30 African states. The violence in Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo, in particular, is likely to dominate discussions. Is now the right time to be having this debate?

Mohammed el-Halabi, former head of World Vision in Gaza, who was arrested in 2016 by Israeli forces after being accused of supporting Hamas, returned to Gaza earlier this month after being released. “I spent more than 8.5 years in prison. My case was a high-profile case and I was convicted with no evidence. I refused all their plea bargains and compromises, because they wanted to use me to undermine international assistance to Gaza,” he told Al Jazeera.

Trump’s executive order cutting aid to South Africa stems from his claims of human rights abuses against white farmers. But how accurate are his accusations, and what’s really behind them?

One by one, the freed Palestinian prisoners are disembarking from the buses that have brought them to the European Hospital in Khan Younis. Many of them appear to have worn inside out the shirts that they were forced to put on by Israeli prison authorities. They make the Victory sign as they exit the buses and greet their loved ones. Large crowds surround the buses, with many holding their phones in the air to capture the scenes.

Yair Horn, Sagui Dekel-Chen and Alexander Trufanov have now been handed over to the ICRC after being released by the military wings of Palestinian groups as part of the ceasefire deal with Israel. The release took place without any incident amid strict security measures in the presence of dozens of fighters from both factions. A total of 369 Palestinians held in Israeli jails are due to be released later today under the ceasefire agreement.

The vehicles of the International Committee of the Red Cross have now arrived at the site in Khan Younis where three Israeli captives will be released.

The global institutions meant to safeguard a rules-based order and respect for international law are in peril. Amnesty International is raising the alarm, saying the system is failing. This time around, Donald Trump has made it clear he intends to write his own rules, leaving the rest of the world unsure of where it stands. Leaders are gathering at the Munich Security Conference, where they'll discuss the most stubborn ongoing conflicts. Is the idea of mutually agreed rights and wrongs becoming irrelevant? And what does Trump's 'America First' agenda mean for the future of our international institutions?

Mohammed el-Kurd was first known for defending his home against Israeli settlers in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem. Now, he’s known globally for his writing about how the rest of the world perceives Palestinians. In his new book, he breaks down the ‘perfect victim’ myth and how it seeks to control the Palestinian narrative.

Sami al-Arian, director of the Center for Islam and Global Affairs at Istanbul Zaim University, told Al Jazeera that Israel has not been “fulfilling” their part of the ceasefire deal, which is to allow six hundred aid trucks to enter the Gaza Strip every day.

US Vice President JD Vance gives a speech at the Munich Security Conference (MSC) in Munich, Germany. The US vice president says “there is nothing more urgent than mass migration.” He adds that the Trump administration “is very concerned with European security and believes that we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine”.
