Labour unions have been a prominent feature of Argentina’s political and economic system since the mid-20th century, during which formal worker protections were expanded and unions were recognized as key social actors across multiple sectors. Since December 2023, President Javier Milei has advanced multi‑stage labour reforms, including a flagship labour bill approved by the Senate in February 2026. These reforms seek to extend probation periods, ease hiring and firing, expand use of independent‑contractor categories, increase flexibility in working hours and vacations (including shifts of up to 12 hours), allow wage payments in foreign currency, and impose stricter limits on strikes and workplace occupations

In Iran, the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, controls the military, judiciary, and key oversight bodies, while elected institutions such as the President and Parliament (Majlis) operate under significant constraints. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) functions as a parallel military and security force directly loyal to the Supreme Leader, separate from conventional armed forces and civilian police.

From late December to mid-January, Iran experienced a wave of nationwide political protests, initially triggered by cost-of-living pressures, with participants calling for regime change against Khamenei.

For most of the 2010s, Mali relied heavily on Western support to counter jihadist insurgency. France deployed troops in the country, while the United States provided intelligence, training, and logistical assistance to the Malian forces against terrorist threat. In 2021, a military-led government came to power following a coup. By 2022, France ended its presence in Mali and withdrew its troops, and the US also significantly reduced its on-the-ground security engagement.

Meanwhile in late 2021, Mali deepened cooperation with the Wagner Group. From 2023 onwards, Russia restructured many Wagner group deployments under the Africa Corps, a more state-controlled force. By 2025–2026, Africa Corps has become the primary Russian security presence supporting Mali

In “Nanny-to-Family Cooperative,” instead of paying for childcare, parents earn "points" by caring for other members' children, which they then use to "buy" care for their own children. For example, a group of trusted neighbors or friends with similar needs work together to
