🇧🇷 Supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed government buildings in Brazil’s capital yesterday. Thousands of pro-Bolsonaro protesters broke into Brazil’s Congress, presidential palace, and Supreme Court while calling for military intervention to remove President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who took office last week (and was in a different state when the attack occurred). At least 170 people were arrested after riot police arrived on the scene to restore order, per local officials. Bolsonaro hadn't commented on the events as early as this morning; the former prez also hasn't explicitly conceded the election but didn't impede the presidential transition – da Silva was sworn in on January 1 – and is believed to have traveled to Florida in December.

🇨🇳 China officially reopened its borders on Sunday following three years of isolation. Tens of thousands of travelers flew in and out of mainland China yesterday as Beijing removed nearly all of its border restrictions, including quarantine requirements for international visitors. Experts said it’ll likely take some time before travel between China and the rest of the world reaches pre-pandemic levels, as many airlines have adjusted their routes to avoid the country over the past three years.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia allegedly jailed two Wikipedia administrators in a bid to control content on the website. A pair of human rights groups reported late last week that an investigation by parent company Wikimedia had revealed Saudi Arabia previously infiltrated Wikipedia’s senior ranks in the region. It also discovered that Saudi officials in September 2020 sentenced two high-ranking Wikipedia admins to prison sentences of eight and 32 years as part of its infiltration.
