Migrant crisis continues on Belarus-Poland border

On the border between Belarus and Poland, there’s been an ongoing standoff between thousands of migrants — mostly from Africa and the Middle East — and Polish border guards. EU countries, like Poland, have been steadfast in their attempts to deny entry. And, this week, many foreign travelers were finally allowed to enter the US, after a year and a half of intense travel restrictions. But New Zealand remains one of the most closed-off places in the world — even for citizens to reenter — proving most challenging for separated families. Also, the Biden administration has approved the sale of 280 air-to-air missiles for the Saudi air force. While bomb sales to Saudi Arabia are still on hold, the US is reluctant to block all weapons sales as leverage to encourage Riyadh to improve its human rights record or end its war with the Houthis in Yemen.
