In Ukraine, the passing of a contentious mobilization law is causing widespread concern and unrest among soldiers and their families. The law, which removes service limits and was passed with significant support in parliament, has been heavily criticized for treating soldiers merely as resources rather than heroes. Veterans, who have been serving since 2014, feel devalued and trapped in endless service, questioning their future and the value of their sacrifices.

Recruits expecting a finite service term now face an indefinite commitment to Ukraine’s defense. The enthusiasm for volunteering has diminished, marred by reports of severe conditions, losses, and corruption within the military system. This has led to a decrease in volunteer numbers, with many Ukrainians now avoiding public spaces to evade recruitment efforts.

Botswana and other African diamond-producing nations are concerned about the new diamond tracking and verification system introduced by the European Union and G7 nations. The system, aimed at halting the import of sanctioned Russian diamonds, mandates that diamonds entering EU and G7 countries which account for 70 percent of the global market be certified in Antwerp, Belgium.

This has led to clearance delays and disruptions in the supply chain, imposing additional costs on African producers. Botswana, the world’s second-largest diamond producer, has been vocal about the repercussions on the industry’s livelihoods and economies. Despite reassurances from Belgium and the EU they are addressing these concerns, including efforts to expedite the certification process, African nations argue the new measures threaten their growth and existence.

However, it’s been over a year, and no money has come. Tension between the global diamond cartels and the elite families may change this proposed legislation in the near future.
