We want to take a moment to thank all of our judges, speakers, and those who came to both participate and support.

A civil war and cuts to USAID. Bani Chauhan discusses how the Trump Administration’s cuts to USAID have deeply impacted the population in Somalia, exacerbating human rights abuses.

“Somalia and the Struggle for Stability and Survival” by Bani Chauhan

“Since the collapse of Somalia’s central government in 1991, the country has been experiencing conflict. This collapse was followed up by uprisings against the military dictatorship, ultimately leading to a full-scale civil war. These conditions created widespread human rights abuses, which have only been worsened by the Trump Administration’s cuts to vital USAID programs that supported many people in the region.”

Is Europe moving closer to the U.S’s ICE model? What happens in light of the EU’s Return Regulation? Read Nadia Al-Ani’s article to gain a closer look at what is going on today in the EU’s migration control.

“Europe’s ICE Moment: How the EU’s Deportation Push Could Reshape Daily Life” by Nadia Al-Ani

“The EU’s new push to speed up returns, or deportations of people ordered to leave, is being pitched as administrative housekeeping. But the fight over it in 2026 is not really about paperwork; it is about what kind of society the EU is willing to become in the name of migration control.”
