UPDATE: The UN Security Council has approved the creation of a new Gang Suppression Force in Haiti, replacing the Kenya-led mission with a stronger mandate.

The force composed of 5,500 troops & police will operate for 12 months with support from a new UN office and the Organization of American States.

The new Force is expected to draw participation from Kenya, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, and potentially the United States, though leadership will likely shift away from Kenya.

The resolution passed with 12 votes in favor and 3 abstentions from Russia, China, and one other member.

Funding Lapse Triggers U.S. Government Shutdown

The failure of Congress to pass a federal spending bill by the fiscal year deadline of September 30th has resulted in a U.S. government shutdown. This immediate lapse in appropriations mandates the suspension of most non-essential federal operations.

The primary consequence is the furlough of hundreds of thousands of federal employees, who will be placed on unpaid leave. Essential personnel—including those in national security, the military, and air traffic control—will be required to work without pay until funding is restored. While both groups are expected to receive retroactive pay once a budget agreement is reached, the disruption of wages will create a measurable economic impact.

Across the nation, the public will experience service interruptions such as the closure of national parks, significant delays in the processing of passports and visas, and a reduction in regulatory activities like federal food safety inspections. The government will remain in this state of freeze until lawmakers can successfully negotiate and enact a funding resolution.

Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni accuses ODM of betraying Azimio, vows to remain in opposition: ODM betrayed the Azimio coalition. It is only Jubilee that is still in Azimio and faithful to that agreement. I must commend our party leader; we signed a document, and we meant what we were signing, and a decision will be made by the next convention as to where we go. As of now, we are in Azimio, we are in opposition. The only opposition party with a written document filed with the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) and with the Speaker of the National Assembly is Jubilee.
