Introduction The total area of Rwanda is 26,33k square kilometres. It was colonised by several nations. Rwanda belonged to the German Empire from 1894 until 1919, the year of the First World War’s end. Later on, as part of Germany’s war reparations, it was moved to Belgium.

From historical research papers to textbook poems, the Silk Route has been the subject of the most romanticised study in the history of trade routes between India and Europe. It has been a highlight for many years, overshadowing other routes that were crucial in the classical era. Remarkable historian William Dalrymple has shown in his latest research that ‘Silk Road is a very modern concept’. He also emphasised how Xi Jinping, the president of the People’s Republic of China, has “militarised” the idea of the Silk Road. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a highly ambitious project spearheaded by…

Introduction Despite being fought in Ukraine, the Russia-Ukraine war is being heavily funded by the United States. As a result, it wouldn’t be inaccurate to refer to this as a confrontation between the US and Russia. Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the United States has maintained a strong stance on the country and the geopolitics surrounding it. The United States recently provided Ukraine with its last of aid during the war. Artillery and air defence weapons are included in this.

Introduction to Hydro-Diplomacy The Latin word “Rivalis”, which meaning “relationship between two persons using the same stream of river,” is where the word “rival” gets its etymology. Unlike oil, rivers are transboundary resources with no single point of access. As a result, no nation-state can assert total sovereignty over a river and its path. But the resources that are already available are being taxed more heavily by South Asia’s growing population, and river water is no exception. Challenges in Transboundary River Management In a multipolar world, the increasing economic interdependence among the countries forces them to employ diplomacy and discourse…
