The Taliban group seized power in Afghanistan after 20 years.

During the previous two decades, they had isolated themselves in the most remote areas of the Asian country, but in recent days they have been able to impose their power against the Afghan government.

Women are the main affected by the strict measures of the Taliban regime: they cannot walk alone in the streets, go to school or university, they are not allowed to work outside their homes or to be treated by male doctors, among other discriminatory measures.

The next FIFA World Cup will be held in Qatar, which was already in the eye of the human rights storm due to the working conditions of stadium construction workers for the event.

There are accusations from various NGOs for suspected deaths, confiscation of passports, unpaid wages, excessive working hours amid high temperatures and poor sanitary conditions, among others.

The attack against Charlie Hebdo: on January 7, 2015, an attack was perpetrated against the satirical weekly, during which two masked and armed men entered its premises. That day, 12 people died and 11 others were injured.
