Abu Dhabi Police just unveiled their latest patrol vehicle at Gitex Global 2024, and it looks like something straight out of the future: the Magnum MK1, an autonomous, armored, drone-equipped 4x4.
This cutting-edge vehicle is primarily electric but also has hybrid petrol support. It can reach speeds up to 150 km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds, and is bulletproof against ammunition up to 7.62 mm. It carries three officers and securely transports one detainee in a specially designed internal cell.
Among its most advanced features are integrated systems for audio, video, and vital-sign monitoring, autonomous off-road navigation, radio and cellular communication capabilities, surveillance drones, infrared cameras providing 360-degree vision, specialized lighting, advanced geolocation, anti-jamming protection, and even an internal workstation with a panoramic screen to manage operations directly from the vehicle.
This futuristic patrol car will be fully manufactured in Abu Dhabi and is expected to hit the roads officially by 2028—a real leap into the future for Emirati law enforcement.

If weapons didn’t exist, this wouldn’t be necessary. But since they do, we have to build something that can withstand them. And so we keep going—always one step ahead, or maybe just one step back.
It begs the question: are we really progressing, or just caught in an endless cycle of attack and defense?

Trump has once again sparked controversy by deporting 238 alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and 23 from El Salvador’s MS-13, despite an attempt by a U.S. judge to block the move. To justify his decision, he invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, an archaic law that allowed him to send them directly to El Salvador.
There, they were transferred to CECOT, a maximum-security prison infamous for its extreme treatment of inmates. Additionally, the U.S. will pay El Salvador $6 million to house them for a year.
This decision has ignited a legal and ethical debate over whether Trump can use such an outdated law to push his agenda and whether these deportations were conducted lawfully. One thing is certain: for these 261 individuals, the "American Dream" is over, and their new reality behind bars won't be pleasant.

A couple of years ago, we talked on ALRNCN about the work of Vincent Bal, a Belgian artist and creative who’s been sharing his funny and original pieces on social media for a while now.

Watching a group of Black women, seemingly from a tribal community, walking around completely naked—apart from a small loincloth—through the well-lit aisles of a SPAR supermarket feels surreal. Like National Geographic suddenly crashing into your local grocery store.
A scene that, in their context, might be the most natural thing in the world, but through Western eyes it triggers an instant brain glitch.
It’s a brutal reminder that what we call “normal” is just one version of many. And that there are places where the body isn’t hidden—it’s simply lived. Funny thing is, you’re not even sure what shocks you more: the nudity itself, or seeing it in a setting that, to you, plays by totally different rules.
