"Australians Reject Indigenous Voice in Historic Referendum, Blaming Politicians for Deception"

Australians have voted against a landmark referendum to recognize Indigenous people in the country's constitution. The proposal, known as the Voice, aimed to establish a First Nations body to advise the government on issues affecting their communities. The No campaign argued that the referendum would be divisive, while Yes advocates saw it as an opportunity for historic change. The result has sparked concerns about the rise of racist abuse and misinformation during the campaign. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called for unity, stating that the referendum does not define Australians and that the country must move forward together.

"Knesset Approves War Cabinet Amidst PM's Stark Comparison to Holocaust"

The Knesset approved the formation of a national emergency government in Israel, with five opposition lawmakers joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet to add security experience to the management of the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza. Netanyahu called the Hamas attack that triggered the war "the most horrible day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust." Opposition leader Yair Lapid did not join the government, citing concerns about the presence of far-right extremists and a double security cabinet structure. The war cabinet, including former IDF chiefs of staff Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot, will meet regularly to oversee the conflict.

Protests erupt in Ethiopia's Amhara region over dissolution of regional forces.

Protests have erupted in Ethiopia's Amhara region for the fifth consecutive day against the government's decision to dissolve a paramilitary force. The move has faced strong opposition in Amhara, with protesters fearing that it would leave them exposed to attacks by neighbouring regions. The government wants the special forces to be integrated into the federal army or police force to promote national unity. The decision has led to a partial curfew in Gondar and clashes between protesters and the military in Kobe town. The Amhara special forces helped the Ethiopian army fight Tigrayan forces who launched a rebellion in 2020 against Mr Abiy's government.
