From Trump to Jerusalem: This was 2017 (Video)

First on the agenda was the move to stop visitors from seven majority-Muslim states from entering the US. The order, which was introduced within a week when Trump had taken over the post of US president, sparked a major explosion of solidarity with those major and affected protests in the US and around the world.

Federal judges moved quickly to abolish the ban as unconstitutional, forcing the American president to reject the restrictions, but after several rounds of back, the US Supreme Court eventually allowed a modified version of the original ban to be implemented.

Internal politics were not the only areas in which Trump left traces, reports “Al Jazeera”, the Periscope broadcast. In his first busy year, Trump has depreciated the historic agreement between world powers and Tehran to curb its nuclear programme in exchange for limited easing of sanctions.

US Allied attacks, such as Great Britain and France, warned against any action that would threaten the deal, but the American president chose not to listen. Under Trump's leadership, tensions have also deteriorated on the Korean Peninsula, as a war of talk between the US leader and North Korea's Kim Jong threatens to spread in armed conflict between two armed nuclear states.

To be sure, the US is not the only country that violates the old diplomatic convention, especially in the Middle East.

The fate of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) remains in balance, as three of its members -- Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain -- along with Egypt -- broke diplomatic ties with Qatar and began a blockade, which continues over these days.

The Yemenn war threatens to bring about sweeping hunger, which can put millions at risk and shows few signs of the end soon. When Yemeni's ousted president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, decided to cross the Saudi side and break his alliance with the rebels of Houth, he was soon captured and executed.

In southern Africa, the reign of former Zimbabwen President Robert Mugabe finally came to an end after the 93-year-old leader was forced to leave the military. In Gambia, Yahoa Yamah, who ruled the country for 22 years, was forced to exile after refusing to admit his defeat in the presidential elections held in December 2016.

Ringyave's Exodus also witnessed a dramatic deterioration, with hundreds of thousands fleeing a Myanmar Buddhist government strike.

Exodus began in August, when the Myanmar Armed Forces and their allies launched a military operation apparently aimed at the Roingey Armed Groups.

Trump announced late this year's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city.

Tensions occurred in occupied territories, while Palestinians turned out for daily protests against the US movement. Internationally, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took a leading role in opposing Trump's movement, calling for an extraordinary meeting of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).

This meeting in Istanbul culminated with a declaration recognising East Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state./Periscopi/
