"Armed Gangs and Deadly Violence Grip Haiti, Kenya Sends 1000 Police"

Armed gangs in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, launched coordinated attacks, killing four police officers and injuring five others, while vowing to oust Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The violence comes amid widespread civil unrest and political turmoil, with demands for Henry's resignation following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021. The United Nations has approved a plan to send a multinational force to restore peace and assist the Haitian police in regaining control of the country, as the situation continues to escalate with schools, universities, and businesses halting activities and multiple airlines canceling flights.

"Niger's Military Takeover Designated as Coup d'Etat, France's Troop Withdrawal Raises Questions"

The US State Department is preparing to officially designate the military takeover in Niger as a coup d'etat, potentially impacting the US' ability to work with Niger as a counter-terrorism partner. The designation could lead to the suspension of certain forms of assistance to Niger, although the US embassy can continue to operate and US forces can legally remain in the country. The Pentagon is assessing the impact on its approximately 1,000 forces stationed in Niger, with some likely staying in a limited intelligence gathering role. The US has been reluctant to label the takeover as a coup, but the legal designation would require restrictions on foreign aid. The US military mission in Niger has been a key reason for the delay in making the designation.

Russian Military Officers Determined to Topple Putin Supported Wagner's Mutiny, Says Ukraine Official

Ukraine's Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, claims that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the boss of the Wagner Group, was in league with 14 Russian military officers who are determined to change the leadership of Russia and topple President Vladimir Putin. The U.S. has intelligence suggesting that a senior Russian general had advanced knowledge of the failed mutiny orchestrated by Prigozhin. Analysts believe that Putin has been weakened by the revolt and may face another rebellion, while Ukraine sees the chaos as an opportunity to benefit its counteroffensive against Russia's invasion. European allies express concern about a "weaker" Putin and the risk of internal instability in Russia.
