Nov 02, 2022, 08:15 PM

After nearly two years of fighting, there's a new dawn in Ethiopia. On Wednesday, following 10 days of tense talks, representatives from Ethiopia's federal government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front signed a peace deal, agreeing to end hostilities. And Israel's former prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is close to being declared the winner in Israel's parliamentary election. Exit polls show Netanyahu and his right-wing allies winning the 61 seats necessary to form a government. Also, with COVID-19 cases on the rise in China, more than 30 cities across the country are experiencing restrictions. Beijing is censoring government criticism, but people are still using social media to voice their frustrations. Plus, in Iran, digital artists are finding powerful ways to document the protests.
