Open-Source Global Threat Map Built by Music Streaming CEO Puts Fragmented War News on Notice

Elie Habib, the chief executive of Lebanon-based music streaming service Anghami, has created a cutting-edge open-source platform called World Monitor that aggregates data from various sources to track global conflicts in real-time. By harnessing signals from aircraft and satellites, as well as other publicly available data, World Monitor provides an unparalleled view into unfolding conflicts, allowing users to stay informed about the most pressing security issues worldwide. The idea for World Monitor was born out of Habib’s frustration with the patchwork nature of current war news sources, which often fail to provide a comprehensive picture of ongoing conflicts. Determined to create something better, Habib spent his spare time building and refining the platform, which is now being shared openly on GitHub and other platforms. By bringing together disparate data streams into one intuitive interface, World Monitor offers users an unprecedented level of insight into global security dynamics. The platform’s founders envision it as a go-to resource for policymakers, journalists, researchers, and anyone interested in staying informed about the complex web of global conflicts that shape our world today.
