    France Didn’t Lose Africa; It Lost the Ability to Reach It Alone (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On January 11, 2025, French forces handed the garrison at Abéché, in eastern Chad, back to the Chadian state. Within the same month, Chad granted the base to Turkey. Nobody was pushed out and nobody walked in uninvited. A country that had hosted French troops since its independence in 1960 ended the arrangement, took the keys, and passed them to someone else. That transaction has been used, over and over, to tell a story about French decline in Africa. It is not wrong, but it describes the small

    The War Netanyahu Never Had to Fight (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For most of 2026, the Middle East has been fighting a war with no clear front line. Iran fires on the Gulf. Saudi and Kuwaiti jets strike Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. The Houthis declare a naval blockade on Saudi shipping. American aircraft take off from Arab runways to bomb Tehran. A ceasefire is announced, violated, renegotiated, announced again. Every party insists it is only answering someone else’s aggression, and so the violence loops without resolution, each strike licensed by the one

    When Development Money Meets a Deadline: Is FIFA’s Vote Still Free? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On July 28, FIFA announced it wants to sell a piece of the World Cup. The plan is to create a commercial subsidiary called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), valued at $20 billion by JPMorgan, and sell a minority stake of up to 20% to private investors to raise up to $4.2 billion. FIFA would keep sole control; outside investors would get a slice of the business, not a say in the game. That is the headline. The detail I cannot get past sits lower down, in the part framed as generosity. The day after

    Casablanca, Madrid, and the Question FIFA Has Never Answered on the 2030 Final (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On July 19, Spain won the World Cup in New Jersey, and the detail I have not been able to stop thinking about is not the goal. It is the attendance figure: 80,663. That was a full house at MetLife Stadium for the 2026 final. Yet it was one of the smaller crowds a World Cup final has drawn this century. Lusail held 88,966 in 2022. Soccer City in Johannesburg held 84,490 in 2010. FIFA’s own long-standing stadium guidelines ask that a venue hosting the final be able to seat at least 80,000. The big

    This World Cup Was Played on Pitches and Smartphone Screens (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I watched the 2026 World Cup without watching most of it. I saw goals before I saw the matches that produced them. I met controversies as fifteen-second clips before I understood the incidents behind them. I learned what the internet had decided was important long before I had decided anything for myself. By the time I sat down to watch a full ninety minutes, I often already knew the score, the flashpoint, and the meme. The match was no longer where the tournament happened. It was just the raw m
