EU-Turkey draft refugee deal

The EU and Turkey have agreed upon a deal on refugees, but the EU has been criticized for pushing the problem beyond its sight. The deal was even criticized by the UN for breaking the international law for the removal of refugees from Europe. Some are even concerned that Turkey may use the deal to continue its war on Syria.

US presidential race

Even though Hillary Clinton lost to Sanders in Michigan, she has garnered more than half of the delegates needed to clinch the nomination of the Democratic party. Meanwhile, Trump has yet again caused controversy by saying that Islam hates Americans.

Drone casualty report

After years of intense secrecy, the Obama administration announced that it will, for the first time, acknowledge the number of people it has killed in drone strikes outside of conventional war zones, including civilians. The news came as the Pentagon confirmed that it had carried out one of the largest airstrikes in the history of the war on terror in Somalia, killing 150.
