Will the United States Take Military Action in Nigeria?
The United States is pressuring Nigeria to take visible action against armed groups targeting Christian communities, but Abuja faces multiple constraints to curb the violence, and fresh instances of high-profile intercommunal attacks would increase the likelihood of U.S. airstrikes in Nigeria. On Oct. 31, U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth Social that he was designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern due to the killing of Christians in the country. The following day, Trump warned that his administration would ''immediately stop all aid and assistance'' to Nigeria if its government ''continue[d] to allow the killing of Christians,'' and said he had instructed the U.S. Department of Defense to prepare for ''possible action'' in the country. Trump later told reporters on board Air Force One that this could involve launching air strikes or deploying ground troops. In response to Trump's comments, a spokesperson for Nigerian President

A Breakthrough on Climate Targets is Unlikely at Brazil's COP30
At the COP30 climate conference, countries are likely to reach only limited agreements on climate financing and carbon market frameworks while failing to achieve consensus on phasing out fossil fuels, making significant progress on implementation unlikely and postponing key decisions for another year. Brazil will host the 30th U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP30) from Nov. 10 to 21 in the Amazonian city of Belem. The event's agenda has been structured around six thematic axes: energy, industry and transport; forests, oceans and biodiversity; agriculture and food systems; cities, infrastructure and water; human and social development; and cross-cutting issues. The Brazilian government is seeking to build on previous COP outcomes while pushing the transition from negotiation to execution across mitigation, adaptation and climate finance. Delegates from more than 170 countries will seek to finalize the implementation phase of the 2015 Paris Agreement, which consists of five-year review cycles of countries' climate action

President Xi Lays Out China's Plans for the Next Five Years
China's policy plan for 2026-2030 lays out continuity in economic policy but also highlights an intent to pursue new industrial priorities, further securitize Chinese society, launch internal anti-corruption probes to enforce President Xi Jinping's policy vision, and use lawfare amid foreign disputes. On Oct. 28, China's State Council published the details of the Chinese Communist Party's proposal for the 15th Five-Year Plan (15th FYP) for National Economic and Social Development, which was passed at the CCP's recent Fourth Plenum in Beijing from Oct. 20-23. The document charts China's policy trajectory from 2026-2030, but it is mainly thematic and qualitative in nature, lacking many of the quantitative targets that China's rubber-stamp legislature will unveil at its annual meeting in March 2026. Still, the document reflects the policy priorities of the CCP and, thus, those of China's central government. It also offers a rare glimpse into the worldview of China's leadership, particularly

Sri Lanka on Track To Unlock Next IMF Disbursement, but Challenges Remain
The International Monetary Fund will likely approve the fifth review of Sri Lanka's bailout program due to the country's strong fiscal performance, steady progress on debt restructuring and political stability, though high poverty levels and delayed state-enterprise reforms will remain key risks. Sri Lanka is awaiting approval from the IMF Executive Board for the fifth review of its bailout program, which would unlock approximately $347 million in funding, bringing the total funds released under its nearly $3 billion support program to around $2.04 billion. This follows an IMF staff-level agreement with Sri Lanka on Oct. 9, where both sides agreed that while fiscal performance has been strong, sustaining momentum will require improved tax compliance, a broader tax base and plugging revenue leakages, among other reforms.

The Modern Geopolitics of Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's national strategy is challenged by its austere past and potential future. The kingdom seeks alignment with a regional and global order to achieve middle power status while preventing internal divisions spurred by the very reforms it is using to walk that path. It is vulnerable to geopolitical shocks and internal erosion of consensus, especially the latter. Riyadh's monarchy must manage these imperatives effectively to avoid a return to a divided, foreign-controlled state, mirroring its 20th-century beginning.
