Prime minister of Laos[edit]

As I found on http://www.laogov.gov.la/activities/pages/news.aspx?ItemID=724&CateID=5 in 28 January Thongsing Thammavong was still prime minister and, it is clear, he is the current prime minister of Laos. I will change in this sense the table if I don't receive a replay based on a clear document Bogdan Uleia (talk)

Khalifa Haftar as de facto leader of Eastern Libya's government[edit]

Given the fact that the Tobruk-based House of Representatives Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani has recently offered his resignation as the leader of the civilian government in the Eastern part of Libya, I believe the correct step for this page is to regard Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar as the de facto leader of that government. It is not a new fact that Haftar has been the de facto leader of the Tobruk side of the Civil War for a long time now, and I thought this resignation could lead to renewed discussions about this question.

Alternate governments?[edit]

Should the governments of the Syrian Salvation Government or the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Taliban) be included as alternate governments as they claim to be the legitimate governments of Syria & Afghanistan respectively? Do they have to be recognized by other Un members to be on this list?

Denmark[edit]

Shouldn't the line for "Denmark" link to the Kingdom of Denmark instead of the constituent country of Denmark, as is done for the Kingdom of the Netherlands? 2600:6C44:757F:99ED:DDD2:8AFE:1E05:3BBD (talk) 03:46, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pakistan[edit]

Enlighten me folks. Why is the Army chief being placed above the president & prime minister, let alone included at all? GoodDay (talk) 17:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because some people who support Imran Khan are suspicious of the army's role in the judicial rulings resulting in Khan being effectively banned from running in the parliamentary election?– Jwkozak91 (talk) 23:54, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The question is, should the sentiments of a politician's supporters be allowed to dictate content in this article? I am thinking of boldly reverting it if there is no objection Borgenland (talk) 01:32, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
