Typhoon Yagi, Asia’s most powerful storm this year, has left dozens dead since sweeping across southern China and Southeast Asia last week, leaving a trail of destruction with its intense rainfall and powerful winds. After hitting the Philippines, where it killed more than a dozen people, it churned westwards towards southern China and shortly after parts of Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. Nearly a week since it made landfall, many farms and villages in northern parts of Vietnam and neighboring Thailand remain under water as communities struggle to cope with severe flooding and the looming threat of landslides.

The storm caused widespread damage to infrastructure and factories. Video captured by a car’s dashcam earlier this week showed the moment a steel bridge collapsed over the engorged Red River in Vietnam’... -

Every day, thoughts of Bako, Ruben, Leva, and our prisoners overwhelm me with helplessness. My mind always returns to Bako, perhaps because I knew him better. In my memory, he sits in his yard after midnight, feeding firewood to a tin stove where potatoes, onions, and bread are baking. He squints through the tobacco smoke, adjusts his old coat, and sips strong tea. We often met—once in Rome, quite frequently in Yerevan, but most often in Stepanakert. That’s where I remember him best—sitting in the yard of his house, on the ottoman, telling stories, joking, or sitting in thoughtful silence. He was organic, natural, strong—unable to imagine his life away from this garden, his home, Stepanakert, and Artsakh, - wrote Mikayel Minasyan, the former Ambassador of Armenia to the Holy See, wrote about his esteemed friend, Bako Sahakyan, the former President of Artsakh, who is currently held captive in a Baku prison following Azerbaijan's occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh. Minasyan adds. “I can't imagine what he knows abou... -
