October 27, 2023 Palestinian PM: Will war on Gaza bring Hamas and Fatah together? | Talk to Al Jazeera
As the war on Gaza is well into its third week, many are alarmed about the impact it could have on the occupied West Bank.

While Gaza is governed by Hamas, the occupied West Bank is governed by the Palestinian Authority, led by Fatah. Both factions want an independent Palestinian state.

However, their struggle for self-determination and autonomy has substantial historical differences.

But will a further escalation of the conflict in Gaza result in Fatah and Hamas putting aside their differences to join forces?

The Palestinian Prime Minister, Mohammad Shtayyeh, talks to Al Jazeera.

Following Hamas's offensive in southern Israel on October 7, the Israeli army has targeted apartment blocks, hospitals, mosques and churches in Gaza, killing thousands of Palestinians.

Only on October 21, 14 days into the war, a few trucks carrying food, medicine and water were allowed into the Gaza Strip.

October 20, 2023 Sierra Leone's president: Are there good military coups? | Talk to Al Jazeera
Last year, hundreds of people in Sierra Leone took to the streets in frustration at rising inflation and economic hardship. The protests turned violent and led to deaths.

Since then, President Julius Maada Bio has been re-elected, but there were accusations of widespread irregularities in the poll in June.

A former coup leader in the 1990s, Bio’s first civilian term was recognised for championing education and women’s rights. But after the recent coups in the region, does Sierra Leone face a similar risk?

October 07, 2023 Paul Kagame: Africans can't permanently stay in a 'victim' position | Talk to Al Jazeera
Paul Kagame has ruled Rwanda for 23 years.

The small, landlocked country of 13 million people has come a long way since the civil war and genocide of 1994. Rwanda’s significant progress in education, technology, healthcare and security has made the nation an African success story.

But is living under Kagame’s government an African utopia? And as his influence in the region expands along with the country’s geopolitical role, is Rwanda proving a disruptive force in the region?

The president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, talks to Al Jazeera.

September 30, 2023 Gabon PM: Is the military coup a 'season two' of the same elite’s rule? | Talk to Al Jazeera
The military seized power in oil-rich Gabon on August 30, 2023.

It put President Ali Bongo Ondimba under house arrest, ending the Bongo family’s 56-year rule.

General Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, a cousin of the president, led that coup. The military leader appointed Raymond Ndong Sima as the prime minister of his transitional government.

Was the coup in Gabon just a family crisis to push the country’s rule into the hands of a different branch of the same elite?

Raymond Ndong Sima, prime minister of the transitional government of Gabon, talks to Al Jazeera.

September 16, 2023 Somali PM: Nearly 20 years of fighting al-Shabab | Talk to Al Jazeera
For almost two decades, Somali forces, backed by the international community, have been fighting al-Shabab.

But despite international support, the armed group remains influential in the south and centre of Somalia.

Now, the government is launching a sweeping offensive to retake al-Shabab territory. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is personally leading the fight, but that is not the only challenge facing the government.

Long years of drought, political divisions and the rise of autonomous regions pose significant problems.

These are some of the topics the Somali prime minister, Hamza Abdi Barre, talks to Al Jazeera about.

September 09, 2023 Antonio Guterres: 'Huge risk' of great fracture happening in global system | Talk to Al Jazeera
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has welcomed the world's 20 largest economies in New Delhi.

The G20 bloc accounts for more than 80 percent of global gross domestic product and 75 percent of international trade. But as the international community increasingly deals with opposing interests and geopolitical dynamics, many question if it serves any purpose.

The United Nations secretary-general is mandated to help resolve situations threatening global peace and security.

Can a summit overshadowed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a global economy in distress and an escalating climate crisis set the global agenda?

Antonio Guterres, UN secretary-general, talks to Al Jazeera.

September 02, 2023 Ryyan Alshebl: From Syrian refugee to mayor of a German town | Talk to Al Jazeera
In 2015, a 21-year-old asylum seeker from Syria made it to the Greek island of Lesbos in a rubber boat.

In this edition of Talk to Al Jazeera, we speak to Mayor Ryyan Alshebl and explore his journey, success story, and future dreams.
