Gouvernement Shutdown - Washington DC

Gouvernement Shutdown - Washington DC

A notice of closure is seen in front of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the United States, on October 5, 2025. As the U.S. federal government entered a shutdown -- the first time in nearly seven years -- the confrontation between President Donald Trump's administration and the Democratic Party has further escalated. The Trump administration has cut funding and programs in Democratic-led states and sought to dismantle federal agencies led by Democrats. Meanwhile, Democrats have shown a rare sense of unity, hoping to reverse declining approval ratings through the fight. This new round of partisan conflict over the government shutdown is markedly different from previous ones, characterized by greater hostility and malice that has pushed partisan strife to new heights. It highlights the deepening political polarization in the United States while inflicting greater harm on the American people. Photo by Li Rui/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

Protest Against The Establishment Of The UN Human Rights Office - Bangladesh

Protest Against The Establishment Of The UN Human Rights Office - Bangladesh

Various Islamic organizations organized a protest rally and mass gathering at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in protest against the establishment of the United Nations Human Rights Council office, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, 25 July 2025. They said that although a foreign affairs advisor of the government explained this decision as being in the 'interest of Bangladesh', this interest is not clear to the nation. Bangladesh is an independent and sovereign state. The country has its own constitution, judicial system and human rights commission. The permanent presence of international observer organizations is not acceptable. This will create opportunities for interference in the country's internal affairs, which will affect our culture, religious values and social unity. Photo by Suvra Anti Das/ABACAPRESS.COM
