Our lead investigation (Page 30) exposes Southeast Asia’s ‘scam
industry, separating victims from life-changing sums. Each site can
house thousands of workers, and the targets are global – from China
to North America and Western Europe. A researcher tracking these networks
told Geographical that cybercrime is now probably bigger than the global drug
trade. The sums involved are mind boggling: the International Institute for
Strategic Studies estimates annual losses of up to US$37billion in East and
Southeast Asia alone.
On Page 20, Sean Sutton reports from Syria as people start to return from one
of the world’s largest diasporas – slowly, unevenly and at great cost. Families
rebuild amid the remnants of war – landmines and unexploded ordnance that
contaminate homes, farmland and schoolyards, with children among the most
frequent victims. Humanitarian organisations report that more than 1,600
people were killed or injured in the year following December 2024 alone.
Two stories, both of which reveal what happens when crime and conflict
become business as usual.
