#Borneo's #Sabah & #Sarawak joined more-populated #Malaya in 1963 to form #Malaysia, under soon-broken promises of self-governance (#autonomy). 60 years later, changing politics bring renewed hope for autonomy or even (unlikely) #independence.

#Israel this week said it considers #WesternSahara part of #Morocco, fully taking Morocco's side against #Polisario/#SADR #independence movement. This is an unusual move, but follows same move from #USA in 2020. https://www.reuters.com/world/morocco-says-israel-recognises-its-sovereignty-over-western-sahara-2023-07-17/

Several smaller criticisms of @washingtonpost report on #ISIS in #Somalia:
1. Describing #Puntland state in general as "remote" is dubious, since it lies on one of world's most important shipping channels (#GulfOfAden), including major port city (#Bosaso)
2. Miskad Mts are not on "the very tip" of the #HornOfAfrica, they are about 100 mi (150 km) southwest of it

#ISO appears to have changed SHORT name of the #Netherlands in its widely-used #countrycodes list from "Netherlands (the)" to "Netherlands (Kingdom of the)", making it same as the official long version name. This would usually follow a change at the UN. Anyone know what's going on?

Good detailed report from International Crisis Group on the communal violence in #India's #Manipur state, which after months of conflict is "divided into exclusive ethnic zones". Govt troops "now patrol the buffer zone created in between, while the militias that have formed on both sides dig trenches and wait for an opportunity to attack."

Though Somalia govt victories in Galmudug region are a big deal, Al Shabaab's core stronghold area in the south remains largely untouched.
