The trial of Salih Mustafa, a Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) commander and Kosovan politician, commenced on Wednesday, with Mostafa criticising the court's motivations.

The trial, scheduled to sit between September and October, is taking place at The Hague. Mustafa and other KLA officials, including former President Hashim Thaci and KLA spy chief Kadri Beseli, are facing charges of torture and arbitrary killings over their roles in the Kosovan independence struggle in the late 1990s.

Speaking to Radio Islam International, Zeenath Adam, an International Relations Strategist and deputy director of the Afro-Middle East Centre pointed out the contentiousness of the trial and the pressure placed by Europe for its initiation and the venue change." This was a special court that was supposed to have been set up in Kosovo itself, to try members of the KLA, but because of Western fresher, this was moved to the Hague and it's now been internationalised."

The past week saw three different missile launches on the Korean peninsula. On Monday, the North tested a new type of cruise missile, which was responded to by the South, with an underwater missile launch on Wednesday. The North carried out two other missile launches on Wednesday in response to the South and President Joe Biden's dispatching of his envoy to Tokyo and Seoul to restart peace negotiations, which had been stalled for the past six months.

Speaking to Radio Islam International, Sanusha Naidu, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Global Dialogue, pointed out the inherent dangers in these missile launches, "it's becoming quite a dire situation in the region itself… it has dire implications for security [and] stability, especially with Kim Jong-un's sister getting involved."
