Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electricity and are central to solar energy systems. In 2023, around 70 billion of these silicon-based cells were produced globally. Solar energy is gaining traction due to its low operational costs, lack of emissions, and minimal maintenance. The rapid growth is driven by falling costs, economies of scale, and technological advances, allowing for quicker installations. Despite challenges like nighttime power availability and grid integration, advancements in battery technology are making solar power more viable. Solar capacity reached 1,419 gigawatts by 2023, far exceeding earlier forecasts, and is expected to become the largest energy source by the 2040s, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Israel has once again stepped up its deadly attacks on Gaza’s displaced Palestinians as ceasefire talks resume. A new report from The Lancet estimates that Israel’s war of extermination against Gaza has likely, directly and indirectly, killed up to 186,000 people. This far exceeds the official death toll of 38,193.
The Israeli military expanded their immediate evacuation orders to several areas of Gaza City. In doing so, they are once again pushing people into a “humanitarian zone” located in the coastal area of al-Mawasi, on the southern end of the Gaza Strip. The so-called “safe zone,” however, has not even been spared from Israeli attacks.
The new displacement orders in Gaza City come as the Israeli army expands its military operations in the city, launching fresh raids into several districts.

A seismic political shift is reshaping West Africa, as the Sahel states Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali have united under a new confederation. The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) formation marks a decisive break from the Western-backed Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) bloc, solidifying the unity of these rebel states and representing 72 million people.
The AES has also blocked exports of some crucial resources saying “This era is gone forever. Our resources will remain for us and our population’s.” Burkina Faso’s Traore said.
Turning their backs on the West has coincided with moving towards other foreign powers like Russia as well as China, who have been quick to extend their support to the countries rebuking the West and taking advantage of the opportunity to advance their own interests.
But will this change result in meaningful improvement in the lives of the people? Leave a comment.
