The PKK act in Ankara
Turkey: Has neutralized several PKK militants
The Turkish attacks on PKK targets in northern Iraq carried out on Sunday night "neutralized" many militants, Turkey's Ministry of Defense said according to Reuters. In a statement, it is also announced that 20 targets, including bunkers and depots, were destroyed.
The attacks against the PKK were carried out after the terror-labeled Kurdish group claimed Sunday morning's bombings in Ankara. A suicide bomber detonated an explosive device at the Ministry of the Interior. A second attacker was shot dead by police.

The case of Jamal Khashoggi
Organizations: The Saudis' "punishment" became the red carpet
Today it has been five years since the journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul - and no justice has been served. This is what Reporters Without Borders and Amnesty write in separate statements.
Reporters Without Borders states that during the past five-year period, the Saudi prince has walked red carpets in Paris, made a "fist bump" with US President Joe Biden and been invited to Buckingham Palace in London. The conclusion is that the Saudis did not have to atone for the "heinous crime".
"We condemn this shameful impunity, which leaves the door open for further attacks on journalists," it writes.
Amnesty's Secretary General Agnès Callamard also says that the international community "continues to roll out the red carpet". She believes that the outside world constantly places economic interests higher than human rights. Now Amnesty is demanding an independent investigation that identifies the criminals, "regardless of how high-ranking and how high-status" they are.

Political situation in Nigeria
Analysis: Economic crisis may threaten Nigeria's stability
To jump-start Africa's largest economy, Nigeria's new president, Bola Tinubu, launched lightning-fast economic reforms after the May election. Now, when a hundred days have passed, the momentum has slowed and instead the economic problems are piling up, write Macdonald Dzirutwe and Libby George in an analysis in Reuters.
The price of petrol, the currency and inflation are three of the problems - and this week major trade unions will strike against the high cost of living. An expert says the government's measures have not been enough to attract foreign investors back.
In an analysis in The Conversation, researcher Muhammad Dan Suleiman and political science professor Benjamin Maiangwa point out that on Sunday, 63 years have passed since Nigeria gained independence from Great Britain. Despite many advances, the country is divided.
Now the state must try to collect the country and deal with the residents' financial problems, they write.
"If this does not happen, the danger is that Nigerians will abandon their democratic ways and become violent, as we see in West Africa and the Sahel region."
