Not the Center


Last Friday, I realized every news report I read was centered here in the United States. Surely, I thought, there were newsworthy incidents elsewhere in the world.

 

I looked harder:

        • Hostility is escalating between Armenia and Azerbaijan (the on/off battle dates back to 1918-1921 and 1988-1994)
        • Kuwait has a new Emir, Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah
        • Britain and the European Union are hammering out the details of a Brexit trade deal
        • Belarus citizens protest long-time authoritarian president Alexander Lukashenko

God knows, the world doesn’t revolve around me.
