“"Bad elections are better than no elections” Hmmmm. No.

Join us next week for what promises to be a fascinating conversation!

Read @crisisgroup.org's new report on Haiti. Based in @diegodarin.bsky.social's extensive fieldwork, it examines how political infighting in the transitional gvt has gotten on the way of reducing violence, safe elections and an inclusive constitutional reform. www.crisisgroup.org/latin-americ...

“The longstanding practice” 😳

Aboard the 2 flights that deported 190 people back to Caracas last week were 2 people who'd deserted #Venezuela’s military. The Trump administration delivered them right back to the dictatorship. The feared Interior Minister says, “They are being given the appropriate treatment.” Well done, folks.

Journalists: @crisisgroup.org will publish the report ‘Locked in Transition: Politics and Violence in #Haiti’ on 19 February 2025. Contact [email protected] or send a DM for an embargoed copy and/or interview requests.

The specifics of this absurd proposal matter less than the further normalization of the notion of U.S. armed action (public or private) in Mexico.

Ecuador is going to the polls on Sunday, after going from being one of the most peaceful countries in the region to having the highest rate of murders in South America. @glaeldys.bsky.social explains in this Q&A what is at stake Do read! www.crisisgroup.org/es/latin-ame...

The Trump administration has ordered a 90-day pause in virtually all foreign aid. This decision has major implications for Latin America, affecting everything from security operations in Colombia and Haiti to protecting civic space in Venezuela. A 🧵 on its most worrisome effects

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

Roughly 75% of #Colombia's police helicopters rely on US support for refueling. Today, as a result of INL freeze, they are grounded. This comes just as the country is facing a deep security crisis and needs air support to resupply, conduct operations. www.elespectador.com/judicial/ee-...

With the collapse of the talk with the ELN, #Colombia's gvt is reassesing the future of it's flagship "Total Peace" policy. We examine the lessons learnt and how to move forward in @CrisisGroup's Watch List www.crisisgroup.org/latin-americ...

Todos los años, Crisis Group destaca los 10 conflictos que necesitan la atención mundial. Esta es nuestra lista para 2025. En nuestra region, destacamos la crisis de Haití y las posibles tensiones entre Estados Unidos y México. La lista entera t.co/REXOaEcDwt

To promote stability in Haiti, the country’s foreign allies must step up their financial contributions to the Multinational Security Support mission—an international peacekeeping force working to reduce gang violence, write @renatasegura.bsky.social and Diego Da Rin.

"It is worth recognizing that the mood in the Security Council over Syria is more constructive than at any point for most of the past decade." @mayaungar.bsky.social and I end 2024 on an unexpectedly positive note about the UNSC and Syria. www.worldpoliticsreview.com/un-syria-ass...

Mi colega de @ICGlatam @philgunson explica por qué un regreso a la máxima presión no es el camino para resolver los problemas en #Venezuela elpais.com/america/2024...

I've been coming to Kramers bookstore ever since I started my pilgrimages to Washington a couple of decades ago. A bit surreal to see my own book displayed on the shelf now. Hurry—only one more copy signed by the author!

#Bolivia celebra hoy sus elecciones judiciales. Es uno de los pocos países donde los jueces 👩‍⚖️👨‍⚖️ son elegidos por votación popular, un sistema vigente desde 2009. Un 🧵 de @glaeldys.bsky.social con las claves para entender cómo funciona y qué podemos esperar de la jornada electoral.

📽️ VIDEO | Hace dos años se desencadenaron en #Perú masivas protestas que fueron reprimidas y dejaron decenas de personas muertas. ¿Cuáles son las raíces de la desconfianza en las instituciones y la inestabilidad política que atraviesa el país? 🔽 youtu.be/w7Z9RLATvIY

At least 184 people killed in Port-au-Prince’s Cite de Soleil neighborhood. The MSS said to the NYT they were not aware of the killings. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/w...

I realized that the estimated number of gang members/affiliates in #Haiti (12000) is almost the same as the total of #Colombia's FARC members that demovilized (13k+), and they are all in one city and its surrounding areas. The challenge to help #Haiti is extraordinary.

For months, the fight between Bolivia’s president Arce and Evo Morales has brought the Andean country to the brink of a dramatic crisis. @crisisgroup.org’s @glaeldys.bsky.social explains in this Q&A what is happening and the risks of electoral violence in 2025 ⬇️ www.crisisgroup.org/latin-americ...
