In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde connects the dots between a sudden Cambodia–Thailand border flare-up and fresh signals of accountability and diplomacy: from an ICC Darfur war-crimes sentence to prisoner releases in Belarus and political fallout in Bulgaria.

Bidemi closes with a simple, practical security habit you can apply immediately, plus a mental model for spotting the next inflection point before it hits the mainstream.
