World Monitor Transforms Browsers Into Situation Rooms

Elie Habib, CEO of Anghami, built World Monitor over a weekend in January; the open-source website aggregates more than 100 real-time data streams and drew over 2 million visits in its first 20 days. Its popularity—fueled by an online "monitoring the situation" meme and translations into 20+ languages—underscores demand for instant geopolitical feeds amid 2026 conflicts while raising concerns about misinformation and signal-to-noise.
