The Pashtun Tahafuz Movement has never raised a weapon, only voices against war, enforced disappearances, landmines, and the militarisation of civilian life in Pakistan’s tribal areas. Today, three of its senior members are in detention, and its leader, Manzoor Pashteen, remains…

A Turkish town was drowned to build a dam. Halfeti’s homes, mosques, even its cemetery were lost under rising water. Now tourists boat past its ruins — while locals sell “black rose” soap and mourn a culture that can’t resurface. edition.cnn.com/travel/halfeti…
