Nepali actors and members of the Nepali film industry drape the body of veteran Nepali actor Sunil Thapa, who also plays the role of a coach in the Bollywood movie ''Mary Kom,'' with the national flag of Nepal ahead of his final rites in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 8, 2026. Thapa is actively involved in Nepali and Indian cinema for decades, and his untimely demise leaves the entire Nepali arts and film fraternity in shock. He is widely respected for giving depth, recognition, and dignity to antagonistic roles in Nepali films, earning acclaim comparable to that of lead actors. He is especially popular among audiences for his iconic role as 'Rate Kaila,' which becomes one of the most memorable villains in Nepali cinema. Through his strong screen presence and distinctive acting style, Thapa earns a unique place for himself in the film industry. Born on May 19, 1957, Thapa contributes to acting, modeling, sports, and various aspects of the film industry. He begins his professional life as a model, working in Mumbai in the 1970s for prominent brands including Binny and Mafatlals. In those early years, he also plays competitive football, representing ICL Club Bombay and Orkay Sports Club. While modeling, he works as a photojournalist for Junior Statesman magazine. He covers Bhutan's 1974 coronation ceremony. He makes his Bollywood debut in 1981 with the Hindi film ''Ek Duuje Ke Liye,'' a major commercial success that introduces him to Indian audiences. He later returns to Nepal and rises to prominence following the release of Chino, a landmark Nepali film that secures his place in the country's cinematic history. It is Chino that transforms him into a household name. His portrayal of the antagonist ''Ratey Kaila'' is both unsettling and magnetic, earning acclaim from critics and audiences alike. The character becomes so iconic that Thapa is widely recognized by the role's name rather than his own.

A woman draped in the Tunisian flag makes the victory sign while chanting slogans during a demonstration that brings together thousands of supporters of Tunisian President Kais Saied in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 17, 2025, in support of the president as the country marks Revolution Day, the 15th anniversary of the Tunisian revolution. Supporters also protest against the ''foreign interference'' in the internal affairs of Tunisia. The anniversary is set against a backdrop of deep division between supporters of the president and his opponents. It also unfolds amid a deep economic and social crisis, with intensified protests against President Kais Saied's policies and an escalating crackdown on opposition figures, journalists, and human rights activists since he assumes sweeping powers in July 2021. Revolution Day commemorates the start of the Tunisian revolution, triggered by the self-immolation of the street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, which sparks a popular uprising that leads to the flight of former President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali on January 14, 2011.
