  1. Argentina – Worst economic crisis: Argentina was repeatedly in the news for a severe economic crisis marked by very high inflation, debt distress and currency instability. Verdict: Correct.

  2. Sudan – War between the country's regular and paramilitary forces: Sudan was in the news due to fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Verdict: Correct.
