Explosions outside the Kabul airport on Thursday have upended the evacuation effort there and taken the lives of US soldiers and Afghans. At the time of the blasts, the airport was crowded with people trying to leave Afghanistan. Also, as the US and Mexico continue to debate the controversial “Remain in Mexico” policy, hundreds of migrants arrive every day at a rural border outpost in Guatemala. These forced removals could create a new border humanitarian crisis. Plus, China’s Ministry of Education has issued new guidelines to integrate “Xi Jinping Thought” into the curricula, in the president’s latest effort to consolidate the ruling Chinese Communist Party into almost every area of society.
