Venezuela's interim president Juan Guaido appears to have launched what many are calling the "final phase" in an effort to oust President Nicholas Maduro. He's called for an uprising and as thousands join him, he's asking the military to rise up against Maduro as well.

Christians and Muslims are religious minorities in Sri Lanka. They've always co-existed peacefully, much of the religious persecution there coming from Buddhists, who make up the majority. The Easter attack, however, carried out by members of radical Islamic groups, has rocked the Island nation.
