10 events that marked the year 2022
Ukraine

 

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the protest movement in Iran, the questioning of abortion rights in the United States, etc. According to the French News Agency, these are the ten events that marked the year 2022:

1- Putin invades Ukraine

On February 24, Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, plunging the world into a crisis not seen since the end of the Cold War. Against NATO member states declaring their support for Ukraine, the Russian president is raising the threat of using a nuclear weapon, saying he is ready to use "all the tools" in his arsenal.

 

The war is causing the biggest influx of refugees into Europe since the end of World War II and costing the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

2- Inflation as a result of the energy crisis

The rise in prices, which began in 2021 due to disruption of supply chains, combined with strong demand for essential goods and services as economies restarted post-Covid, is accelerating in 2022 to reach unprecedented levels since the 1970s and 1980s. Inflation reached 10.1% in November. It is expected to reach 8% in the fourth quarter in the G20 countries, affecting global growth by increasing business production costs.

Inflation is fueled by the war in Ukraine, which is plunging Europe into a deep energy crisis. Russia, under the influence of Western sanctions, is multiplying its retaliations until it hits the EU's sensitive point: its dependence on Russian gas. The war also causes an increase in the prices of grain and therefore fodder.

3- Overturning abortion rights in the United States

In June, the United States Supreme Court gives every state the freedom to ban abortion, overturning the landmark 1973 decision.

After this change, about 20 states prohibit or completely limit the right to voluntary termination of pregnancy, and this issue is dominant in the election campaign.

4- Political instability in Britain

After a series of scandals and a series of resignations from members of his government, Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigns in July. Liz Truss has been officially named as his successor in Downing Street by Queen Elizabeth II, two days before the Queen's death on October 8 after 70 years on the throne. On September 10, Charles III is proclaimed king.

The shortest-lived prime minister in the country's modern history, Liz Truss lasted just 44 days in office before resigning, sparking a political and economic crisis with her 'radical' economic programme. Rish Sunak comes to power at the end of October, in a period of unprecedented uncertainty for Britain. He is the fifth prime minister in Britain after the Brexit referendum in 2016. A series of strikes accompany the end of the year.

5- Extreme weather conditions

10 events that marked the year 2022

In 2022, disasters related to climate warming have multiplied. The summer is the hottest ever recorded in Europe, record temperatures and heat waves are causing drought and forest fires (at least 6,600,000 hectares of forest have been reduced to ash from January to mid-August in the EU, a record). Alpine glaciers record record loss of ice mass.

At least 15,000 deaths are directly linked to the heat in Geria Epirus, according to the World Health Organization. China is also breaking heat records in August and drought is threatening the Horn of Africa with famine. Fires and deforestation are breaking new records in the Brazilian Amazon. In Pakistan, historic floods linked to an unusual monsoon have killed 1,700 people and displaced eight million others, leaving a third of the country under water.

6- Revolt against the headscarf, violent suppression in Iran

On September 16, Mahsha Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian of Kurdish origin, dies in hospital, three days after she was arrested by police, who accused her of violating the Islamic Republic's strict dress code for women.

Her death has sparked a wave of protests across Iran not seen since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

7- China: Xi was re-elected, the 'zero Covid' policy was challenged

10 events that marked the year 2022

Chinese President Xi Jinping has been re-elected head of the Chinese Communist Party at the 20th CCP Congress in October. During his ten years at the helm of the country, Xi Jinping has demonstrated a desire for control, interfering with almost all of the country's mechanisms and drawing international criticism for the country's human rights record.

Tensions in the Taiwan Strait reached their highest level in years after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the autonomous island in early August.

8- Victory and defeat for the extreme right

After four years in power, Brazil's far-right president Jair Bolsonaro was narrowly defeated by leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the Oct. 30 presidential election after a toxic campaign.

In Europe, by contrast, ultra-conservatives scored victories in parliamentary elections in several countries, starting in April with the fourth consecutive victory of Hungarian Nationalist party leader Viktor Orbán.

In France, Marine Le Pen's National Alarm recorded a historic victory in June, becoming the first opposition party in the National Assembly, where head of state Emmanuel Macron lost an absolute majority. The nationalist and anti-immigrant Sweden Democratic Party (SD) is the big winner in September's election, becoming the second largest political force in the country.

In Italy, Giorgia Meloni wins a historic victory in September with Italy's post-fascist party Adelphia and is named prime minister.

9- Hopes for peace in Ethiopia

After two years of conflict, Ethiopia's federal government and rebel authorities in the northern province of Tigray signed a "cease of hostilities" agreement in Pretoria on November 2, aimed at ending a war that non-governmental organizations called "one of the the deadliest in the world". After a five-month ceasefire, fighting resumed in late August.

10- Qatar, World Cup 2022

10 events that marked the year 2022

Qatar's hosting of the 2022 World Cup from November 20 to December 18 prompted a barrage of criticism for the small Gulf state.

The first Arab country to host the soccer World Cup is criticized for its treatment of foreign workers, LGBTI+ people and women, or even for the use of air conditioning in its stadiums amid climate change. The icing on the cake, Greek MEP Eva Kailiis was charged in a high-profile corruption scandal involving Qatar.
