Posted on February 19 by a UK-based account with Canadian pride, the message hit amid Trump's 2024 win and falling U.S. favorability in Europe and Canada, per Pew polls showing low confidence in him below 25% in spots. Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel, with airlines cutting 10% of flights for early 2026, while Europeans cite U.S. arrogance and policies on Israel, Iran, and domestic issues. Americans largely shrugged it off, with replies like 'we don’t care' and reminders of U.S. economic pull, though some abroad noted Canadians' own problems and Americans' self-criticism.

Key Takeaway

A simple post from a hockey fan account claimed the rest of the world hates the USA, and it quickly drew thousands of raw replies from both sides of the Atlantic.

The hashtag #KeleleBilaKazi, meaning 'noise without work,' exploded on February 21, 2026, targeting former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for his comments on Wajir county amid his feud with President William Ruto. Critics, including Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and Wajir elders, condemned the remarks as profiling a Somali-majority region, especially after Ruto's visit and plans for 50 mega dams to irrigate arid areas. Gachagua, impeached in October 2024 and fighting the ouster in court, has been rallying opposition in Rift Valley, while supporters defend his security concerns about Al-Shabaab threats.

Key Takeaway

Gachagua called Wajir a place known for terrorists during a public speech, drawing sharp backlash from leaders and locals who see it as harmful stereotyping.

The Malaysian government introduced the Next Generation Malaysian Emergency Response Services (NG MERS 999) on November 16, 2025, featuring the SaveME 999 app developed by Telekom Malaysia for AI-enhanced alerts including voice, text, video, and geolocation to over 800 response points. Despite promises of faster responses, the app has drawn backlash for its cumbersome registration requiring ID photos and OTP verification, with users reporting 999 calls redirected to downloads and glitches causing hours-long waits for services like ambulances in Penang. Officials insist traditional 999 voice calls remain fully operational and the app is optional, while pledging fixes for accessibility issues affecting vulnerable groups.

Key Takeaway

In a crisis, every second counts—yet Malaysia's new SaveME 999 app is forcing users to register amid reports of delayed ambulances.

The clash happened around 12:30 a.m. near border marker 151/2 in Tajikistan's southern Khatlon region, where troops spotted the men from Afghanistan's Badakhshan province during searches. The group ignored surrender orders, opened fire, and were neutralized in the response, with authorities recovering rifles, a pistol, ammo, phones, a radio, and a boat. No Tajik casualties occurred, and this fits a pattern of at least five deadly incidents since November 2025 along the 1,350-kilometer frontier, amid rising concerns over cross-border threats despite calls for Taliban action.

The government issued passports to about 34 Australian women and children connected to ISIS fighters in Syria's Al Roj camp, confirming the documents but insisting no return assistance is provided. One woman faces a temporary exclusion order on security grounds.

The January 25 clash ended 1-1 at Rome's Olimpico, with Modric picking up two yellows: one early for time-wasting by nudging the ball away during a Roma free kick, and another right after Vazao's frustrated shove as play was stopped. Posted out of context on February 17, the 20-second clip drew millions of views, with some calling it proof of societal bias where the aggressor walks free and the victim gets punished. Critics pointed out soccer's rules under FIFA Law 12 justified the call on Modric, while others mocked the outrage as ignorance of the game's nuances. Modric, the 40-year-old Croatian star thriving at Milan post-Real Madrid, even memed his classic Italian hand gesture afterward.

Key Takeaway

In a heated Serie A moment, 18-year-old Roma forward Robin Vazao shoved AC Milan's Luka Modric from behind near the touchline. The referee carded Modric on the spot, leaving Vazao untouched—and sparking endless online arguments.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's decree, approved January 27, offers one-year residence permits to migrants who entered before December 31, 2025, stayed five months, and lack criminal records; the application window runs April to June.

Officials defend the plan as essential for integrating contributors to Spain's economy amid labor shortages, while critics highlight strains on jobs, integration, and public services.

The move prompted online comparisons in India, where critics noted BJP's lack of Muslim MPs despite Muslims making up 14% of the population, while defenders argued representation mirrors voter choices.

Key Takeaway

Nitai Roy Chowdhury, a 77-year-old Hindu veteran, stepped into his new role as Bangladesh's culture minister with a simple message: equal rights for all citizens, regardless of faith.
