"Haiti Prime Minister Faces Mounting Pressure Amid Widespread Protests"

Hundreds of Haitians protested against Prime Minister Ariel Henry's unelected government, which has allowed violent gangs to expand control across the capital and nearby areas. The National police used tear gas to disperse protesters, who set fire to car tires. The rise of powerful gangs has led to clashes between rival gangs, police, and civilian vigilante groups, causing devastating impacts on local residents, including indiscriminate killings, sexual violence, lootings, kidnaps-for-ransom, and arson. The head of Human Rights Watch estimated that around 300,000 people are internally displaced due to the violence, and the United Nations estimates that 170,000 children are internally displaced, with nearly half of the population facing hunger due to the conflict.

The Significance of Congo's Extended Elections and Calls for Rerun

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) held elections seen as a test for President Felix Tshisekedi's commitment to peace and development. Despite Congo's vast mineral wealth, many Congolese, like 27-year-old motorbike taxi driver Georges Bamue, have seen little improvement in living conditions and struggle to find employment. The eastern region of the DRC has been plagued by fighting between armed groups, causing displacement and insecurity. The outcome of the election is of global importance due to Congo's status as a major producer of natural resources. Countries like China, with significant economic interests in the DRC, prefer to remain silent about the situation. The DRC has a history of turbulent politics, and decades of war, corruption, and mismanagement have hindered economic progress. Despite recent economic growth, the cost of living has increased, and millions of Congolese require humanitarian assistance.

Insecurity and violence in the eastern provinces have been major campaign issues, and concerns have been raised about hate speech and political violence in the lead-up to the polls.
