Dominica:
Dominica’s Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, says it’s time to engage Haiti’s gang leaders in talks, as part of wider efforts to restore order in the crisis-hit nation. His remarks come as Kenya leads a multinational security mission authorized by the UN, deploying hundreds of officers to support Haitian authorities. Haiti’s instability has worsened since the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.

Mexico:
Mexico is set to hold its first-ever judicial elections this Sunday — a move attracting international scrutiny. Over 5,000 candidates are vying for more than 840 judicial positions, including Supreme Court justices. However, the country’s electoral authority is probing reports that political parties, including the ruling Morena party, are illegally campaigning and distributing materials to sway voters. Critics warn that these elections could erode judicial independence and open the door to political and criminal influence.
