The Caribbean country remains in the grip of a deepening multidimensional crisis affecting the political, security, human rights and humanitarian spheres, with implications for the region.

Armed gangs control large swathes of the territory, more than six million people are in urgent need of assistance, and 1.4 million have fled their homes, mainly women and children.

Killings and abductions are rampant, while cases of sexual and gender-based violence have significantly increased.

Beware Independent Central Banks

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Sep 23 2025 (IPS)* –– US President Trump’s snide barbs against his appointee, US Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Jerome Powell, have revived support for central bank independence – long abused by powerful finance interests against growth and equity.

Jomo Kwame Sundaram

Independent central banks are supposed to improve the quality, equity, and growth impact of monetary policy.

Instead, they have primarily served powerful financial interests, with contractionary and regressive effects leading to slower, unequal growth.

Independent of whom?
Central banks were established to determine monetary policy to shape financial conditions to achieve national economic objectives.

In recent decades, the new conventional policy wisdom has been that independent central banks should set monetary policy. Thus, they have been influenced by powerful financial interests, typically foreign, in smaller, open developing countries.

Zarni tells it like it is.

11 Sep 2025 – Kirk, Charlie Kirk is DEAD. By that single “BEAUTIFUL” shot, as his Patron Donald Paedo Trump Jr is wont to say (ala BIG and Beautiful Bill).

Obviously, it must have been a Big and Beautiful Bullet. The shot was too neat and professional, needing no follow-up, that in turn, rules out any “woke” or Left or Marxist or Muslims or LGBTQs.

22 September 2025 — Deep in the forest in Venezuela’s Bolivar state, residents live in fear of horrific violence at the hands of armed groups involved in the illicit gold trade.

During a 2020 investigation, a 17-year-old boy told Human Rights Watch how he witnessed members of a Venezuelan armed group amputating both hands of a miner they accused of stealing gold. Summary executions and forced child labor by armed groups is still happening today.

People who risked everything to escape persecution, often because they helped US forces, now find themselves treated as unwanted cargo under the Trump administration’s anti-migration policy.

Trump’s expanded deportation programme targets an estimated 10 million foreign-born people who live in the USA but lack proper legal documentation.

A report published late last month (AUG) by Action Against Hunger, Insecurity Insight, and Oxfam said that at least 150,000 people remain without running water across the south of Lebanon after Israeli attacks had damaged and destroyed swathes of water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities since the beginning of the conflict in Lebanon.

Thirsty and Starving, Gazans Face ‘Inhumane’ Evacuation

Human Wrongs Watch

(UN News)* — As bombs continue to fall on Gaza City as part of Israel’s intensifying military operation, families with starving children are being pushed southwards from one “hellscape” to another, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said on Tuesday [16 September 2025].

A displaced family sit in front of their tent in Gaza.

Speaking from the south of the enclave, UNICEF’s Tess Ingram described the forced mass displacement of families as a “deadly threat for the most vulnerable”.

“It is inhumane to expect nearly half a million children battered and traumatized by over 700 days of unrelenting conflict to flee one hellscape to end up in another,” she insisted.

Greece’s Latest Assault on Civil Society

Human Wrongs Watch

By Eva Cossé, Senior Researcher for Europe | Human Rights Watch*

16 September 2025 — Greece’s Migration Minister Thanos Plevris recently announced his intention to adopt new measures to silence criticism of the government’s migration policies.

The move, which came in the wake of a victory by civil society groups at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), is part of the Greek government’s broader assault on civil society and is likely to worsen the already hostile environment for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), particularly those working on migration.
