Howdy, crew — this Monday’s situation report hits hard and fast with a world that refuses to slow down. Africa is staring down a cholera tsunami — cases already 3× higher than all of 2022, with rainy season just kicking off. In eastern DRC, IS-linked ADF rebels slaughter 89 civilians in Lubero in a single week of attacks, while central Nigeria sees yet another Catholic school raided and students kidnapped — the second abduction in days. Indonesia evacuates 1,000+ after Mount Semeru blows its top again, and Vietnam counts 43 dead from nonstop flooding and landslides. Europe gets weird: Vilnius airport shuts down for an hour because of smugglers’ drug balloons drifting over the runway, and Kosovo calls snap elections for December 28 after Kurti’s government collapses. Middle East keeps simmering — Israel ramps up strikes across south Lebanon (at least one dead Wednesday), while Syria’s new leadership quietly lifts travel bans on nearly 5 million Assad-era citizens. South Asia shocks: a 5.9 quake rocks Bangladesh killing five near Dhaka, and a glue factory blast in Lahore flattens homes and claims 16 lives. Over in the Americas: a fire breaks out inside the COP30 venue in Belém forcing evacuations on the next-to-last day, a grizzly bear mauls 11 schoolkids and teachers in British Columbia, five tourists freeze to death in Chilean Patagonia, and Maduro’s regime threatens to make Nobel Peace Prize winner Edmundo González a fugitive if she dares collect the award in Oslo. Pulled straight from AP, Reuters, Al Jazeera, MONUSCO, and fresh OSINT wires — this is the raw, unfiltered pulse of the planet right now. Lock in, stay sharp, and let’s break it down. #OSINT #SituationReport #AfricaCholera #DRCMassacre #NigeriaKidnapping #SemeruEruption #VietnamFloods #VilniusBalloons #KosovoElection #IsraelLebanon #SyriaTravelBanLift #BangladeshQuake #PakistanExplosion #COP30Fire #CanadaBearAttack #ChileTouristsDead #VenezuelaNobel #GlobalSecurity #MondaySitrep #Geopolitics2025
