Pulse
MENA politics is fluid. Parties merge, split, reform; leaders are elected, dismissed, or killed; regimes fall. The party and politician pages capture the dataset as it stands now; Pulse captures the movement — what just happened, what's under way, what's rumored but not yet formal. Each event carries a confidence rating and the same per-field source citations as every other Tayyar entity.

Pulse is curated. If you spot a MENA political event that should be here — a party formation, leadership transition, election result, designation change — open an issue against the repo with citation links. Events are tracked the same way as parties and politicians: per-field source citations, verification status, last-reviewed-by.
