The biggest story isn't always the only story 💡 While attention was fixed on the Iran deal, conflict and political tensions were escalating elsewhere. The Debrief from ACLED breaks down four developments that deserve a closer look - from the experts who study this for a living. This week, we're looking at: ❗The spread of mass kidnappings into southern Nigeria and what it could mean for the country's wider security crisis. ❗Trump's meeting with Modi at the G7 summit and why a US-India trade deal may be harder to secure than it appears. ❗A major attack on Niger's capital and what it reveals about the country's ongoing security challenges. ❗The Afghan Taliban's drone strikes into Pakistan and whether tensions between Kabul and Islamabad are escalating once again. What should we cover next?
