2025

2025 (MMXXV) is the current year, and is a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2025th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 25th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 6th year of the 2020s decade.

The early part of the year has seen the continuation of major armed conflicts including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Sudanese civil war, and the Israel–Hamas war. In January, Israel and Hamas agreed to a three-phase ceasefire brokered by Egypt, the United States, and Qatar with an eventual permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from key areas, and a reconstruction plan being major components of the deal. Internal political and constitutional crises in Haiti, Somalia, Georgia and South Korea continued into this year with the latter leading to a standoff between Yoon Suk Yeol's presidential security forces and the Corruption Investigation Office, leading to his eventual arrest in January.
