May of 2024 was unfortunately an eventful month for global conflicts. Israel's long-anticipated offensive on the Gazan city of Rafah began, where more than a million displaced Palestinians have been sheltering. Russian forces opened up a new military offensive of their own in Ukraine by initiating a renewed assault on the Kharkiv province with tens of thousands of troops. Deadly riots erupted in France's overseas Pacific territory of New Caledonia. A coup d'etat attempt was made in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Iran's President and foreign minister were both killed in a helicopter crash. A major assassination attempt was made on the Prime Minister of Slovakia. And the UN issued a warning that genocide is likely taking place in Sudan's Darfur region again.
