🇰🇪/🇭🇹 Kenyan High Court blocks parliamentary authorization of police mission to Haiti
A High Court in Nairobi has extended its orders blocking the deployment of Kenyan police officers to Haiti.
The Kenyan contingent is set to lead a US- and United Nations-backed “Multinational Security Support” (MSS) mission which will intervene in the Caribbean country to ostensibly “re-establish security in Haiti and build security conditions conducive to holding free and fair elections.”
The deployment has been vehemently rejected by the Haitian people, who have taken to the streets in mass protests against “foreign occupation.”

🇧🇩 Political crisis of Bangladesh is the byproduct of the capitalist crisis
In September 2023, Rashed Khan Menon, MP and president of Workers Party of Bangladesh, opened a Pandora’s box in his speech in the Parliament Session. He said that the US wants Saint Martin Island of Bangladesh for a permanent military base in Bangladesh.
The speech not only caused an uproar in Bangladesh, but also compelled the US foreign department to clarify that the US is not interested in Saint Martin. Shortly after, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina echoed similar concerns in the Parliament regarding the US diplomatic moves and pressures in the name of free and fair elections and to establish “real democracy.”
