2024 (MMXXIV) is the current year, and is a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2024th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 24th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 5th year of the 2020s decade.
So far, this year has seen the continuation of major armed conflicts, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Myanmar civil war, the Sudanese civil war, and the Islamist insurgency in the Sahel.
The ongoing Israel–Hamas war has led to spillover into numerous countries, most notably Lebanon, who Israel invaded in October. This followed an intensification of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. In the preceding month, Israel ramped up its offensive against Hezbollah, including an attack using explosives-laden communication devices, and carrying out a bombing of Hezbollah’s headquarters which resulted in the killing of Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.[1] The year also saw a rise in activity by the Houthi movement which has contributed to a crisis in the Red Sea that has impacted global shipping. The ongoing conflict has sparked widespread protests against the war.[2][3][4]
Approximately 80 countries, representing around four billion people, are expected to conduct national elections throughout the course of the year,[5][6][7][8] including nine out of ten of the world's most populous countries (Bangladesh, Brazil, Pakistan, Russia, India, Japan, Mexico, Indonesia, the United States)[5] as well as France and the United Kingdom.[9] The European Parliament also held elections.[10]
