Here's what happened on April 06, 2016:

  • Putin Establishes National Guard Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the creation of a new National Guard, officially tasked with combating terrorism and organized crime. Some political analysts speculated the move might be connected to potential unrest ahead of September's legislative elections, though Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov denied such motivations.
  • Dutch Referendum Rejects Ukraine-EU Agreement The Netherlands held a non-binding referendum on the Ukraine-European Union Association Agreement. Preliminary results indicated a strong rejection, with 61.1% of voters opposing the agreement and turnout exceeding the 30% validation threshold.
  • Syrian Civil War: Aleppo Offensive The Syrian Army and allied forces launched a strategic military offensive in the southern regions of Aleppo, marking another significant engagement in the ongoing Syrian Civil War.
  • Libya's National Salvation Government Resigns In a significant political transition, Libya's self-declared National Salvation Government resigned, transferring power to the UN-backed Libyan Presidential Council as part of ongoing efforts to stabilize the country's political landscape.
  • War Crimes Trial Halted The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia ordered an indefinite suspension of the war crimes trial against Goran Hadzic, a Croatian Serb rebel leader. The decision was made due to Hadzic's terminal brain cancer, which rendered him unfit to stand trial. He was originally accused of 14 war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the 1991-1995 Croatian conflict.
  • Cyclone Zena Threatens Fiji Cyclone Zena, a Category 3 storm, approached Fiji, causing significant disruption.

This event occurred in the wake of February's devastating Category 5 Cyclone Winston, which killed 44 people.
